Seems classless to me. And trying to find video of where that player went up and kick the ball at the refs feet.

Tate, Hauser Garner ACC Weekly Honors

Release from Clemson:

CLEMSON, S.C. — The Atlantic Coast Conference announced today that Clemson offensive lineman Marcus Tate (ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week) and placekicker Nolan Hauser (ACC Specialist of the Week) have collected ACC weekly honors for their performances in Clemson’s 29-13 victory at Florida State on Saturday.

The honors in their respective categories represent the first in the careers of both Tate and Hauser. Their selections also represent Clemson's second and third ACC weekly honors of the season, and the Tigers have now garnered a total of 581 ACC weekly awards since 1968.

On Saturday, Tate and his counterparts on Clemson's offensive line helped power the Tigers to 500 total yards, including 265 on the ground. Back in his home state, the Florida native helped clear the way for running back Phil Mafah's 25-carry, 154-yard rushing performance, including the fourth quarter as Clemson leaned on its veteran running game to seal the victory with 11 runs and no passes for 109 yards in the final frame.

Tate's selection is Clemson's 21st ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week honor since 2018. He becomes the first Clemson offensive lineman to earn the honor since Will Putnam collected the award for performances against Notre Dame and North Carolina last season.

Hauser accounted for 17 points in Clemson's 16-point victory against the Seminoles. His five field goals represented Clemson’s first five-field-goal performance since Chandler Catanzaro went 5-for-5 on field goal attempts against Boston College in 2011. It was the seventh five-field-goal performance by a kicker in Clemson history.

Hauser joins Richard Jackson, Catanzaro, Spencer Benton, Ammon Lakip and Jonathan Weitz as the sixth Clemson placekicker to earn an ACC Specialist of the Week selection in Head Coach Dabo Swinney's tenure. Hauser is the 15th player in Swinney's tenure to earn the honor when expanded to include punters and return specialists, and he is the first to do so since Weitz's 3-for-3 performance on field goals in a win at South Carolina last November.

Tate, Hauser and the Tigers will be on the road again next week when Clemson faces the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on Saturday, Oct. 12. That game will kick off at noon ET on ESPN. Clemson will return to Memorial Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 19 for another noon contest against the Virginia Cavaliers; ticket packages for games at Memorial Stadium are available here.

Honda generator - fridge?

So I've got like 2 gallons of gas for the generator (2000 w).

So far I'm barely using it just to charge phones.

Anyone use these things to power a fridge? If i do so, am I going to immediately go through my gas?

My plan was to try to run it long enough to freeze a bunch of junk and turn it back off but didn't want to commit to that if it's going to run us out of gas basically immediately. I don't really want to go back out to try to find gas again it was a miracle we got some yesterday.

House settlement gets preliminary approval, one step closer to revenue sharing in college sports

A California district judge granted preliminary approval to the NCAA and power conferences’ settlement of the House antitrust case, another step in a long process toward the era of athlete revenue sharing.

Judge Claudia Wilken, of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of California, issued her ruling Monday without a follow-up hearing and after plaintiffs and defendants in the case clarified language in the agreement 10 days ago.

The two-part settlement requires schools to pay roughly $2.8 billion to former athletes for damages of lost name, image and likeness payments, but, perhaps more importantly, it permits schools — not requires them — to share millions with their athletes. The settlement’s new revenue-sharing model is expected to start July 1.

Wilken’s ruling in this landmark case is the latest move toward a settlement that, while not resolving all of college athletics’ ills, pushes the industry toward a more modernized structure and releases claims of some future lawsuits — but not all. The NCAA and power leagues struck the agreement in May with attorneys representing plaintiffs in a case over lost NIL payments. Thousands of athletes, the majority of whom played between 2017 and present, are in line for thousands of dollars in backpay that will come from NCAA headquarters and school revenue distribution (much of that derived from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament).

However, the most significant piece is an athlete revenue-sharing concept, explored here. Schools will be permitted to directly share as much as $23 million annually with their athletes in a capped system. The cap, a fluid figure that changes annually, will increase as school revenues increase. The exact figure for the first year of implementation is uncertain.

The Fighting Tonies

Don't look now, but Tony Elliott has UVA at 4-1, 2-0 in the ACC, and this weekend they host a good but beatable Louisville team. This past weekend they beat a solid BC team after trailing 14-0 early in the game.

Their remaining schedule includes:
at Clemson
UNC
at Pitt
at Notre Dame
SMU
and at VT


They'll need to get two wins out of those remaining games to make a bowl, and UNC is the only one I would expect them to be favored in.

The early line this weekend is Louisville -7.

SP+ Ratings Week 6 - Blood Week

MzI0NPu.jpeg


Back with another look at the weekly SP+ model ratings after a wild week in CFB. How does Bama not fall further? I'll let Bill Connelly himself explain it: "
What happens when you produce a 56% success rate to your opponent's 43%, average 8.8 yards per play to their 5.6, gain 20-plus yards on 11% of your snaps (your opponent: 5%), score touchdowns on every red zone trip and still lose as a 22.5-point favorite? If you're Alabama, falling to Vanderbilt via turnovers luck and Diego Pavia's sheer panache, a couple of things happen: First, you disrupt bachelorette parties throughout downtown Nashville when students tear down the goalposts and march them more than two miles, down Broadway and into the Cumberland River. Second, your SP+ rating doesn't really change."
I'm not sure what game Connelly's model was watching, but that isn't a fair assessment of that game. Vandy didn't get lucky, they flat out beat them. Don't talk to me about efficiency numbers when Bama held the ball for less than 18 minutes. In the second half, Bama held the ball for just over the length of one Bluey episode.
At any rate, this week we've only got Texas and OSU in the top tier by themselves. Bama, UGA and Ole Miss (all one loss teams, by the way) make up the second tier. The third tier is Penn State, Oregon, Tennessee and Miami. Clemson's ranking moved up to 17.7 this week from 16.6 last week and 15.0 in week 4. Heading in the right direction. Our offense stayed flat at #17 while the defense has moved up the rankings to #23 from #28 in wk5 and #36 in wk4. We jumped up to #12 overall this week, up a spot from last week after Mizzou fell after their beatdown loss.
I also highlighted the handful of other ACC teams in the top 50...FSU dropped out of the top 50 (shocking, i know). We've got Louisville, Pitt, VT and SC left to play, all in the top 50.

Looking at conference rankings, the ACC is still sitting at #3 behind the Big 2 but our average rating has been moving up
1. SEC: 17.2 average rating (36.2 offense, 19.1 defense)
2. Big Ten: 10.7 average rating (29.0 offense, 18.3 defense)
3. ACC: 8.4 average rating (31.6 offense, 23.3 defense)
4. Big 12: 7.9 average rating (32.2 offense, 24.4 defense)
5. Sun Belt: -6.4 average rating (26.0 offense, 32.4 defense)
6. AAC: -7.7 average rating (24.5 offense, 32.2 defense)
7. MWC: -8.7 average rating (24.0 offense, 32.6 defense)
8. MAC: -14.4 average rating (17.2 offense, 31.5 defense)
9. CUSA: -15.1 average rating (19.4 offense, 34.3 defense)
