This is a pretty badass piece of memorabilia in Eddie George’s office… signed by every Heisman winner from 1935 to 1990. And the only one to sign on the actual trophy? Yeah, of course it’s OJ.

Fun visit today with old friend Scott Satterfield and the folks at Cincinnati. New football complex & Indoor facility is fantastic. Even got to test out the cryo chamber. Unfortunately it didn’t take years off my decaying husk of a body.

This is the actual job listing for an actual journalism job at an actual newspaper that still espouses to care about the job. Unreal.

8 QBs in playoff era had 4,100 yards & 43 TD & 7 or fewer TOs. Cade Klubnik is 1. Others include 5 Heisman winners & 2 finalists. All taken within 1st 10 picks of the NFL draft. Many more good QB nuggets here in our tiered ranking of all 136 teams: www.espn.com/college-foot...

Also, in addition to the QB tiers... I went a little more in depth on how we've largely misjudged (probably) Carson Beck's 2024 season and why he could be (probably) in for a big 2025 at Miami... open.substack.com/pub/davidhal...

Two true frosh... QB A: 9 starts, 60.1 QBR, 65% comp, 22 TDs, 13 turnovers, 74.0 PFF grade QB B: 7 starts, 57.9 QBR, 60% comp, 12 TDs, 9 turnovers, 67.0 PFF grade B is getting a ton of love. A is mostly ignored. Find out who's who in Tier 6... www.espn.com/college-foot...

Each year, I dig deep into the stats and depth charts, shake up a Magic 8 ball, and come up with a ranking of all 136 FBS QB situations by tiers. Here's the list for 2025: www.espn.com/college-foot...

My daughter drew a pic of me… wearing shorts and a tuxedo t-shirt, hammered, downing a giant cocktail, and being waited on by the maitre d’ from Ferris Bueller. Honestly, spot on.

This might be the easiest 1 we've done so far... Not for lack of good options but just that 3 are no-doubt-about-it picks & the last is just a "which coach you going with?" UVA's all-sport Mt Rushmore for me: Staley, Sampson, Douglass, Welsh You can vote here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Doing research for a story on every FBS QB situation & it's like when I first got Facebook in 2007 & learned what all the people I went to high school were doing. My prom date is a dental hygienist in Tulsa! Conner Harrell & Grayson Loftis are battling for a job at Charlotte!🤯

Fun one today: Who would be on your Stanford all-sport Mt. Rushmore? Easily could -- maybe should? -- include zero football players. Lot to choose from here. My picks: Kerri Walsh Katie Ledecki Jim Plunkett and some guy named Tiger. Vote for your picks here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Since the ACC's schedule agreement with ND began in 2014, here's each team's record vs the Irish. Clemson, Stanford and Ohio St have the most wins vs. ND in that span nationally.

submitted 48 days ago • 2 comments

Clemson and ND are set to announce a 12-year scheduling agreement that will run from 2027-2038, pitting the two national brands against each other annually. Boon to Clemson with new "brand based" revenue distribution in ACC.

I get the interest in the Jordon Hudson stories but I'm not so comfortable with why and how they're being reported. Feels like something out of the 1990s: open.substack.com/pub/davidhal...

Back after a brief hiatus... Who would be on your Clemson all-sport Mt Rushmore? This is really hard to not make all football, but there are some other excellent options. My final choices: Dabo, Trevor, Banks McFadden & Lucas Glover. You can vote here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'm listening to Tom Petty on the Sonos. 6-year-old: "Dad, are you grilling hot dogs for dinner?" Me: "Yes. How'd you know that?" Her: "Because whenever this music is on it means you're grilling." +100 middle aged white guy points for me.
