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.
