    Scott, I am a little bit under the weather this week. Would it be possible for you to make my picks? Will anxiously await your response.;)

    I'm surprised the rug burn isn't a possibility with those short pants.

    Terry, you are right. Dabo was gracious to defeat. His QB however administered a blow bye to him!

    Dabo was right on after the game.

    "That's the weirdest game I've ever been a part of," Swinney said. "I've been beat. I've had my butt kicked. But that's the strangest game I've ever been a part of."

    Clemson had 12 more first downs, 48 more yards and both threw and rushed for 200 yards -- a stat, Swinney noted afterward, that had correlated to a 108-0 all-time record for the Tigers before Monday night.

    The downfall for Clemson was a woeful red zone performance that saw two short field goals blocked and two fumbles by the offense following a first-and-goal at the 1.

    Don, I don't think you really want to hitch your wagon to this horse. He's got a very checkered past!

    I know, right? USC and UCLA voted down several schools down the past few years knowing they were gone. It’s pathetic…

    Welcome SD89! We often bicker like a bunch of old women, but in truth we've been at this for the better part of 30 years or so, glad to have you!

    You live in San Diego or ? My son lives out there, I've enjoyed it each time I've been out to visit

    Welcome SanDiego89! I was in SD for the first time 1 1/2 years ago for my grandson’s graduation from Marine boot camp. Everyone I know who’s spent any time there loves it. I hope you enjoy our company.

    Hey Buckeye! Nice to meet you! I’m Nick, I live in Ohio, it’s a long story but my endgame is San Diego, my grandpa lives out there and is currently buying a place in Oceanside. SD is my favorite city and my home away from home. He keeps wanting me to move out there and my 10 year plan (this is year 4) sees myself moving out there eventually. Due to family I’m here for the short term. Where does your son live in SD? I’m very familiar with the area, I’ve been all over the place. Pacific Beach where they filmed Top Gun Maverick has the best sunsets I’ve ever seen in my love. I’m getting homesick thinking about so cal now lol. Going there for Christmas! Anyways, thanks for having me! I’m ready for
