Actually, they are paid to graduate players. The APR tracks such. So "grades", to the point they qualify.

Now, that is kind of weird, not to mention defensive. My analogy is a football trophy and income tax ripoff and you immediately think of Trump. Goodness. My first year logic professor had a term for that: "Leapfrog logic."

Don't forget the badminton and whiffleball courts. I understand the latter is particularly challenging. I don't begrudge them the slide. Shoot, I would do it every day, too.

1) 82,000 every single home game, without a miss, regardless of opponent it seems; 2) IPTAY, which Swinney has engaged but managed to keep at arm's length to avoid another Danny Ford fiasco; 3) an administration that looks at the program as a feeder for its campus growth, and that too is...

All this stuff is out of my area code but I was reading a piece before the NC games started, and Clemson apparently is on the leading edge of all that stuff and the individual stats are available to the players' iPhones, including special diet needs, etc. Hard to believe that once upon a time...

What I want to see is what he left for next year.

I am a loser. My low-key campaign to get the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year award to someone who actually earned it failed. David Shaw of Stanford, a school with more money than God and better endowed than any Miss America, sneaked in and took it. His team was 9-4. Jeff Monken's Army team was...

So what is he, a guerrilla coach? Doesn't want his wife to find out? What?

I believe that is called sarcasm? I thought his defense did everything it could to beat Alabama, with two of the Alabama TDs scored after turnovers, but the Alabama defense was more than awesome.

I acknowledge a part of it is skepticism that a Johnson QB based on Navy and GT, anyway, actually knows the mechanics and fundamentals of throwing a football well enough to teach them. It is one of those specialized skills that, like FG kicking, looks simple until you try it. (Clemson's Bryant...

No. 1. who now employs him?

Makes me feel better about it then. I hate to see anybody out of a job, even if it is the nature of the profession. But one could hardly argue that our defense shows the result of good performance.

might we assume also that some space has to be cleared for a couple of assistants, and Johnson is doing that? Or is it going to be a new DC and he has to accept every position coach on defense? Because that would, pardon the language, really suck. He shouldn't take the job under that provision.

I might have an opinion on this. After I take the afternoon to decipher the time saving initials.

Yes. I mean, no, it doesn't. When average ACC teams hold us to 250 yards rushing and a handful passing, the game is their's for the taking.

I think it was apparent in '17, both for lack of bustout WRs and the slight problem we had actually throwing the ball 20 yards or more. Or less, frankly. It was not apparent in the past, because it takes a really athletic -- really -- CB or safety to go one-on-one deep. And that is what Johnson...

He has used that on several occasions at Tech. In fact he used it repeatedly to beat FSU in '08 or '09 Remember how he mixed it up against MSU in the Orange Bowl? They adjusted to the Bback dive and he moved it over a gap. He was rotating two guys and wore both of them out.

Perhaps not typically, but that was as you remember not your typical onside kick. Blooped and perfectly placed. Remarkable.

Kind of ignored two years ago when Alabama on-sided the kickoff and recovered was that Clemson at that point was unstoppable offensively. Alabama could do nothing with them, which Saban acknowledged. But his reasoning kind of resonates: the way Clemson was moving the ball, it made no difference...

Well, again: if there had been an option -- not a play on words -- Marshall would not have been at QB. I think of everything we have seen of this spread option in 10 years or so the hardest position to recruit is QB. Its requirements make the old split T 2-man option and today's zone read and...
