What's going on elsewhere...a look around the Nation (urr Southeast)
- Dr. B has elaborated at length on our walk on statistics. The State paper shows more reasons that Swinney will continue to reward those who walk on as his tenure continues. The P & C lets it known here also. I think this is an issue that this staff must address moving forward as we cannot keep running such deficits (11 original walkons on this year's squad).
- Clemson has released the depth chart for week 1. Chandler Catanzaro has won the starting K position it appears, with Richard Jackson coming in 3rd. Chavis and Thompson are tied at NG. Dye is tied with Clear at X. Thats really the only surprises within. They are otherwise sandbagging a little and not announcing the true starters until they see them play against North Texas. The depth chart for Auburn will be more telling.
- Since its something we've tracked, ESPN points out that only 14 schools made money on sports last year.
- P & C is all jacked up about staff continuity here at Clemson. All this staff consistency needs to put out some results, as we have already demanded heads role for certain positions and will not back off if there is no improvement. Sapakoff gets it wrong when he says our staff wasnt approached by other schools though.
- Outside the Clemson arena, Garnet and Black Attack have been discussing what it will take for SC to improve this season. They also discuss the trials and tribulations of an NCAA investigation (and TE woes) as well as the emerging/interesting QB situation.
- I won't even attempt to sum up what the boys over at Tomahawk Nation are up to, as it would fill this page. Do yourself a favor and do your FSU homework in one spot. These guys know their stuff and bang out jam-up stuff daily.
- If you need to get all riled up for work, Roll Bama Roll has your early morning fire with some nice clips from the Tide S&C coach. You may want to warn the coworkers and rival companies before ripping this bad boy up.
- GT's blog From the Rumble Seat has been counting the days down to football season for some time now. In an interesting story, they discuss prep time and its effect on defending the Jackets. We surely will discuss this topic when GT rolls to C-Town this season.
- Rocky Top Talk chats about a second helping of the Sabanator and how it would affect the perception of the Third Saturday in October.

Have a good Thursday!

Staff continuity is not a positive
when you have weak links on the staff. Guys that are poor position coaches or weak recruiters or both. Dabo could (and should) have made changes last year at the end of the season.
Heads should roll if results are not seen.
Do you mean a guy whose name starts with a B, and ends in rad Scott?

Not my favorite, but if the O-line rocks this year and he lands Steward then a lot will be forgiven.
There is something in these Hills!

If Clemson scores 35 points
against GT and loses again; my first firing would be KS.
steele and harbison
Would be the last ones to go for me. Ga tech has one of the best offenses in the country. Dabo cost us 14 points in the first game.

Harbison is a great coach IMO
look at the losses our secondary consistently goes through season after season. It seems like we get stronger at DB every year despite loosing all the experience and talent. Harbison needs to stay and is a vital part of our defensive scheme.

Iowa really struggled with
GT. They dont have the talent Clemson does. Coaching?
Iowa has far better talent than you give them credit for.
They also had a nightmarish defensive line that ripped Tech’s O-Line to shreds. Adrian Clayborn is a legit NFL guy. Kinda what Bowers could be if he actually played to potential. :-p
