Working the Clemson beat has been a dream. That dream continues, as I have joined @ClemsonTigerNet to write and podcast full time. I'm thankful to @MDavidHood for the opportunity this summer, and I can't wait to continue to grow. Stay tuned. The best is yet to come. ✍️

I asked Bill Belichick about his relationship with Dabo Swinney. He said "We're all learning from Dabo." Belichick added that Swinney has built a high quality program, and has a ton of respect for him. "He's enjoyable to be around. Maybe that won't be the case on Saturday." 😂

Bill Belichick has arrived.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bill Belichick effect: Belichick is set to speak to the media in a few minutes.

Peter Woods says this is "the best I've ever felt" entering the fall. He credits Nick Eason for a lot of that help during the offseason, adding Eason is a "father figure in the building." @ClemsonTigerNet

“Every player that has signed at Clemson since 2009 has won a Championship.” Dabo Swinney says there are narratives out there, but those are simply the facts. @ClemsonTigerNet

"They value the place they are at." Dabo Swinney is talking Clemson's retention, and that players have to choose where to go in HS, and then choose to stay there. "They have a clear vision of how they want to finish. Now, they have to go do the work." @ClemsonTigerNet

Dabo Swinney opens up talking about this Clemson team: "We've had some good teams, and this team has the ingredients to go do it." High expectations ahead for the Tigers. @ClemsonTigerNet

Dabo Swinney thinks Adam Randall will be one of college football’s “great stories.” Cade Klubnik agrees. “I think he’s going to kill it.” 🎧⬇️ @ClemsonTigerNet

Clemson is here. @ClemsonTigerNet

I asked TJ Parker about his expectations of the duo that he and Peter Woods will form on the DLine: “It’s going to be havoc. Overwhelming everybody.” Parker believes he and Woods will set the bar high for Tom Allen’s defense. @ClemsonTigerNet

Bill O’Brien is here. Let’s have a day. Clemson speaks at noon.

Dabo Swinney and Bill Belichick are both speaking today. ACC breakout room is preparing accordingly.

What a gutsy win for the Red Sox.

We had an all time classic on CFB 26. @FaxonPxP using backup QB Aaron Philo, is victorious over Fran Brown’s son. It was a true battle. Here’s the reaction after he disrespected Haynes King. 😭

My top three in the ACC order of finish: 1) Clemson 2) Georgia Tech 3) Louisville I have Miami at No. 4 and Duke at No. 5.

“I used to kick his butt in recruiting.” Fran Brown has a fun comment with how he knew Dabo Swinney before Syracuse. Brown added: “He won some, too. He got some amazing players. He’s done an amazing job. Brown also noted he sees Swinney as a top five coach. H/T @steelerwill

I asked FSU QB Tommy Castellanos about what it will be like to play at Clemson this year: "It's a dream come true. I've dreamed of being on this stage and being in matchups like that. That'll probably be one of the biggest games I ever play in. I'm excited." @ClemsonTigerNet

FSU QB Tommy Castellanos on his comments surrounding Alabama: "We stand on what I said. There's no disrespect towards that side." He relays the confidence he has in his teammates and this program, sparking such a fiery comment.

FSU HC Mike Norvell is fired up today to open Wednesday's slate. He says he doesn't want "a team of sidekicks" and has emphasized confidence and having an edge for the Seminoles to bounce back after 2024.
