There’s no other to say it. Paul Finebaum is completely and utterly obsessed with Clemson and Dabo Swinney. He simply won’t stop talking about Swinney. The obsession goes back years. Back in 2019, my podcast partner @Hokiesmash_ASD talked about how Dabo Swinney Clemson was living rent-free in the head of Paul Finebaum. Three years later …

One of the first 2022 All-ACC Football Teams has been released, and it is from Athlon Sports. A few things stood out to me… 1) Clemson’s defense makes up nearly half of the 1st team defense, and if you add the 2nd team that’s more than half of their defense on the 1st or 2nd …

For some off-season football reading, we already looked at the ACC’s 5 best Out of Conference wins of the 2020s. Unfortunately, that was an unimpressive list, especially with the lack of OOC games in the first year of the decade. 2021 was better, but there were still too many cringe-worthy losses.
