Opening & Show Format Sponsored by FanDuel (betting promo highlighted: $5 → $200 bonus bets). Hybrid format: live watch-along of Clemson–Virginia Tech basketball + football/offseason discussion. Hosts: Edward "Tiger Paw" Craven + co-host Jordan Bowman (show rescheduled due to host feeling under the weather). Live chat interaction encouraged; Super Chat for guaranteed question reads. Basketball Updates (real-time during show) Clemson trailed Virginia Tech for most of the game (down 9 early, briefly cut to 5). Struggled defensively (VT shot lights-out from 3 and free-throw line). Final result: Clemson lost by 10 points (poor shooting night: 31% from 3, 61% FT; VT 52% FG / 52% 3PT / 100% FT). Carter Welling suffered scary ankle injury but returned. Post-West Coast trip fatigue noted (teams 4–10 in next game after Cal/Stanford trip over last two seasons). AP Poll: Clemson stayed put despite strong West Coast wins (brand bias discussed; voters leaving Clemson off ballot criticized). Team strengths: depth, defense (when healthy), toughness; not star-reliant (leading scorer ~11 PPG). Outlook: solid season (20+ wins, 10–1 ACC at time), likely 6-seed range per Joe Lunardi/NET/KenPom. Football DiscussionSteve Spurrier comments Spurrier (being inducted into SC Football Hall of Fame) said Dabo needs to accept “there ain’t no rules” anymore and pay players or fall behind. Hosts called response tone-deaf; Spurrier no longer coaches in current era, doesn't grasp modern tampering/enforcement realities. Agreed NCAA has no enforcement power due to lawsuits/injunctions, but emphasized calling out violations is still necessary. Tampering (e.g., Ole Miss/Pete Golding situation) harms long-term sustainability; “everyone does it” mentality is destructive. Path forward likely lies with conference commissioners (Greg Sankey mentioned) or eventual commissioner/CBA structure, not NCAA. Chad Morris interview (Two Right Turns podcast) Detailed how Dabo contacted him; Morris told Dabo “you’ve got a one-man list and it’s me.” Philosophy: run-first, two-back sets, physicality, play-action shots, tempo changes to keep defenses off-balance. Emphasized former Clemson players on staff, comfort returning “home.” Hosts: says right things, personable, loves Clemson; still skeptical due to past OC misses (Garrett Riley, Brandon Streeter). Biggest question: can he actually implement run-heavy identity with current OL talent/depth? Player Highlight: Jaheim Lawson (edge) Breakout 2025 season: highly disruptive (pressures), developing into every-down DE. Late bloomer (started under 220 lbs, basketball background, moved from skill positions). Huge year-5 upside: experience, draft stock booster, key piece for defensive rebound. Expect more sacks/production; critical with new/inexperienced edges. Other Sports Quick HitsBaseball Season opener vs. Army this weekend (home). Excited for Aiden Canuck start; deeper bullpen, more velocity (multiple 95+ arms), added power via transfers. Goal: host regional, push for Super Regional. Softball Strong opening weekend in Clearwater (wins over #5 Oregon, #23 Liberty; 3–2 record). Home opener: run-ruled Furman 9–1 (walk-off HR by Chanel). Early concern: pitching depth behind top transfers (Maness, Dunning). Upcoming: tough Bobcat Tournament in Texas (incl. Arkansas twice). Closing Encouraged likes/subscribes/memberships/Amazon link usage. Teased possible members-only Duke basketball watch-along. Final vibe: realistic about Clemson football’s regression, cautiously optimistic about new coordinators + key returners, excited for spring ball and non-revenue sports.
