Tom Allen from Penn State is heading the defense as DC at Clemson now. Last year’s shortcomings will most likely be fixed and the Clemson offense will be faster and higher scoring. Tee it up boys.

Ohio State +400, Texas +440, Penn State +480, Georgia +650, and OBD +800. Clemson will be in the top 5 by the season’s end.

Good advice Kemosabe to not look past Minnesota. How. My aging eyes cannot see past the 10k lakes anyway. You give sage advice. But oh - those Golden Gophers.

The potential solutions from the WR room are plentiful. Alex has touched upon the obvious, but the room is deeper than that and a dark horse may run to the front of the pack. I project that the Ducks will have guys that get open and can do their things. The larger question looming is what level of production will we get from the QB’s? There is a huge difference in results between great and good. QB play has so much to do with WR production. Go Ducks. The countdown to kickoff continues.

Good luck and a bright future to coach Feld. The U is better conditioned than when he arrived.

Downtown Sabs. On Thursday night against the Mystics, Ionescu rewrote the WNBA history books yet again. She did so in the first quarter of the game by hitting a wide-open corner three on a fastbreak play. The Liberty announced on social media that with that trey, Ionescu has now become the all-time leader in franchise three-pointers with 401 triples to her name. - Yahoo Sports

There is “more” in the QB room than Moore. Let the dogs out early to see them run.

High stakes chess?

An analyst I listen to, Walt Deptula, predicts PSU v Clemson in the Natty. PSU is going to be tough this season and should be within the Top-5 in national rankings through season if they live up to the pre season hype. The Ducks have the talent to contend for the championship though they are somewhat young and need to gel quickly into a synchronized unit early in the season. The game against the Nittany Lions at Happy Valley looms large on the horizon. Can the Ducks avoid being shot down, and propel into the championship conversation by defeating Penn State? Every game counts, but Oregon at Penn State in 2025 will be huge.

Go Ducks!

Hooray! Well, earned. Charles Barkley talks Celtics guard Payton Pritchard: 'He built his game' WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM The Boston Celtics guard was named NBA Sixth Man of the Year on Tuesday night.

You are the champion not named in the article.You did great thinking and writing on this one. Thanks.

Shelstad looked really quick and fast today. His floor leadership and presence were outstanding. Everyone contributed and had his moment.

Where the 2025 Ducks peak depends on the QB play in my mind. Ball security, execution under pressure, and pocket presence coupled with leadership will determine the outcomes and record. I have confidence in the other position groups and the skills of the individual players.

I do not believe that the ACC is saved until 2036. Clemson and Florida State won in the settlement and the A CC lost. Teams can now leave the conference for under $100 million. Before the amount approached $500 million. In today’s environment of CFB $100 million is “affordable”. The ACC is held back by the teams at the bottom of the conference. I believe that FSU and CU will bolt from the ACC in 2027-2028 prior to the next round of media contracts in the SEC and B1G. The ACC, somewhat like the Pac12, did too little too late and made mistakes which will most likely become fatal to the conference. Them winds they are a changing.
