Andy StaplesWillie Fritz at Houston is the blueprint for the next 'Curt Cignetti' hire
If you're looking for the Curt Cignetti profile—guy in his sixties who's coached at all these different levels and won—it's actually Willie Fritz at Houston. He is 65 and has won at Sam Houston State and Georgia Southern and Tulane. That he's the model for that.

Big CatShohei Ohtani might be the best athlete we will ever see in any sport
[Shohei Ohtani] is getting into the territory of one, he's somehow underpaid. Two, he might be the best athlete we ever watch, play any sport. It's getting into the Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, these territories where in 50 years you could see yourself saying, remember when we got to watch Shohei Ohtani.
PFT CommenterBrad Paisley is the Scott Foster of Major League Baseball because he is an 'extender' who sings the anthem before extra-inning games
I'm not a big Brad Paisley fan, but maybe I should be. He's the extender. He's like Scott Foster for Major League Baseball. [Every game he sings the national anthem before] went to extra innings. Game two in 2017 went 11, game three in 2018 went 18, game one in 2024 went 10, and this game went 18. Brad Paisley [sang] the national anthem before all those games.

That stadium is cool as fuck. It's the worst place to get in and out of. But when you're in there, it has like a very cool vintage seventies type vibe.

Andy StaplesLSU is Andy's projected No. 1 playoff seed
LSU looked like one of the best teams in the country. I'd let that projected playoff again—because I'm taking the preseason stuff out of it—I put them as the one seed. Now are they gonna stay there? Probably not. But why not? Let's ride, let's ride the expectations.
Andy StaplesClemson could finish 6-6 or 7-5
Clemson is probably more talented than most of the teams left on their schedule. But I don't know if they're gonna be better than seven and five or six and six. If they look like that, if that's what they're gonna roll out there, they're gonna lose more games.
