So this is a thing now? Am I really the only one that thinks that was horrible?

Thanks everyone.

In an "attempt" to bring the liberals and conservatives of Ti together, can we all agree that Nov 6th can't get here fast enough?!? It will be so nice not to get random political texts (from both sides) and watch TV without having to endure commercials where no one actually tells you their plans but just "dig" into their opponent.

Anyone else firing up a grill or smoker tonight?

Wife bought a chuck roast this week, not necessarily for the smoker. I volunteered to smoke it, treating it like Brisket, since it comes off the cow directly adjacent. Good news is that since it is smaller than a full-packer, it doesn't need 14 hours. Apple wood providing the smoke.

This clown definitely never called a 4-4 defense.

Go Dodgers!

Every team has played at least 4 conference games and many have already played all of their OOC games as well so its fair to make some assumptions about the teams, the league balance and the place of the league in the national conversation.

Top tier- Clemson and Miami. Rosters, staffs, and performances are playoff worthy and all units on the team are up to the challenge of winning a playoff game or two.

Spoiler status- SMU, Pitt, Ville and Va Tech. Well coached, capable of winning against good teams but not a playoff worthy roster.

Mayo bowl bound- Duke, Wake, UNC or Nc State. These teams all have a shot at a record better than the sum of their parts due to scheduling quirks. One or more of these teams will finish strong.

Thanks be to the ACC for 11 bowl affiliations this year- Cuse, UVA, Boston College, Cal and Ga Tech. Could get ugly for any/all of these teams despite good efforts at times. The slide for these teams is inevitable.

Basketball schools- FSU and Stanford.

One observation I have from watching a lot of league games is that a lot of Head coaches are trying to hard or leaning on analytics too much and its skewed some results to look worse. I think I have seen more head-scratching coaching decisions in game this year from league coaches than any year in the past. The best coaches are going to win more than not. Its the only reason I can't go ALL In on Miami being undefeated in the regular season... I am just waiting for Mario to screw it up.

The ACC is also losing the narrative, media exposure battle. A one loss Notre Dame team will likely trump a 1 loss ACC team in a playoff bid or worse a 5th entry for the SEC.

This is a lengthy PDF File.

(Released from Clemson's SID this afternoon):

Clemson - Louisville depth charts, participation chart, stats, history, game notes, etc

a sellout crowd of 66,000 last night. Must have had 26,000 at the concessions stand tru the whole game

Where does the Seattle Clemson Club watch the games? I will be in town for work for the UL game. Thanks.

I am currently doing this survey and am trying to think of how I want to respond to the questions.

I’m going to go ahead and open the can of worms. Thoughts on what should be said?

One of the best finals
