Okay but...did you read the SC players accusations? “I heard this from an O-lineman but I didn’t get the number.” I mean, what kind of an unsubstantiated claim is that to run multiple stories on? Whether it’s true or not, it’s a non-story, and Dabo is nothing if not incredibly defensive of his players. So if he feels…

Charles Tillman was a cornerback for the Chicago Bears. C’mon, man.

Two awful phantom penalties led to two Pitt touchdowns. Welcome to Trump’s America.

Barely survived against #7 Louisville and #22 Florida State (on the road) and beat #9 Auburn (on the road). Committee has shown a tendency to value strength of schedule over how close games were, so I’m not surprised.

Road wins over #9, #22, home win over #7. What was that about relative merits?

Instantly my first thought was “I bet Belichick will intentionally sabotage his headsets during the Super Bowl, having totally prepared to call the game without them and forcing the other team to do the same.” THAT would be the Patriot Way.

I don’t understand how any of this is different from the BCS era

San Mateo is further from San Diego than Boston is from Washington, D.C. As an east coast transplant living in California, this still amazes me.

So I guess you went with the “wipe their ass with the offer letter” option? What are the chances of ever getting a Craggs return at this point?

You have left the Carolina Panthers and the New Orleans Saints as the only teams in the south (Miami isn’t the south). That means Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and North Florida all become Saints country, while Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee and Virginia become Panthers County.

Wait...does this mean Ashley is joining Deadspin? Because that is the only thing that will make me feel okay about the Gawkalypse.

Submissions for “Why Your Team Sucks” are closed but I’ll give this a 6/10

The point about him graduating so many players is important, and often gets lost in this conversation. I believe athletes deserve to get paid, but I also think a lot could be done just by laxing some of the ridiculous rules that prevent them from getting McDonald’s from coaches, etc.

I enjoy these write ups, but if you’re just gonna re-use the same rationale from prior years, maybe retire the “Is the coach a dick” segment next year? I knew exactly what you were going to say about Dabo.

Nah, that’s all part of the fun

Rodney is pretty crazy right wing. Not sure it’s a parody at all. He has said some disgusting sh!t

Which of the big four sports leagues will be the first to collapse? Or will they all survive until the eventual heat death of the universe? I say the NFL is the most vulnerable because of the concussion news and lawsuits.

2000: Clemson 16, South Carolina 14. “The Catch II”, Woody Dantzler to Rod Gardner in the final seconds to set up Clemson’s game winning field goal. I was 7, and we went to a game party with my dad’s co-worker who was a big SCAR fan. I had a little stuffed tiger and they cut the head off of one that looked just like…
