  • The “Measured or Missed?” Edition

    The “Measured or Missed?” Edition
    Feb 4 2026
    Clemson built a college football powerhouse by recruiting differently — fewer offers, later evaluations, and a firm belief in culture over convenience. But in the NIL era, is that approach still enough?

    In this episode, Lawton Swann takes a hard look at Clemson’s current recruiting philosophy, sparked by five-star cornerback Josh Dobson trending toward LSU despite growing up a Clemson fan. Is this simply one recruitment that didn’t go the Tigers’ way — or a warning sign that college football has changed faster than Clemson’s methods?

    We examine how Dabo Swinney built the program at the sport’s peak, why that model once worked, and whether it can still land elite talent in a world driven by NIL, early offers, and aggressive SEC recruiting. Plus, what “making the playoff” really means in the expanded era — and why that bar isn’t what it used to be.

  • The “Quicksand” Edition

    The “Quicksand” Edition
    Feb 2 2026
    Swanny unpacks why college football feels stuck in slow-motion chaos, using Dabo Swinney’s blunt takedown of Ole Miss’ alleged tampering as the latest proof that the sport is sinking without real rules or consequences. As more voices and examples surface—from Fresno State to player-led accounts of in-season contact—the show explores how agents, unchecked transfers, and NIL money are dragging the game deeper into the muck.

    Plus, a look at Clemson basketball rolling near the top of the ACC, insight from William Qualkinbush and Jason Priester on hoops and recruiting, and why the longer this goes unaddressed, the harder it may be for college football to pull itself out.

  • The “Fireable Offense” Edition

    The “Fireable Offense” Edition
    Feb 2 2026
    Swanny opens with a jaw-dropping look at South Carolina men’s basketball getting run out of its own gym in a 95-48 embarrassment vs. Florida and asks the obvious question: how is that not a fireable offense?

    From there, the show pivots back to the chaos shaking college sports as Dabo Swinney’s tampering accusations against Ole Miss continue to snowball — now with reports that Fresno State has “receipts” too. Plus: Tim Bourret joins the program to discuss Clemson hoops surging, the upcoming Pitt game (and winter weather concerns), and what went into Dabo’s headline-making press conference as college football’s “lawlessness” hits a breaking point.
