A little news from me: My husband and I are thrilled to share we welcomed our son into the world last week. Little guy is ready for his first college football season and I will be on maternity leave for the next few months. Good luck to your favorite teams! See you soon 🩵

Storming the field is one of college football’s most memorable traditions. There’s nothing like the magic of those moments. But it can also be chaotic and dangerous. On CFB’s conundrum and how decision makers navigate it: nytimes.com/athletic/7732197…

"It's hard to get off the field," FSU WR Duce Robinson said. "You've got people yelling in your face, and you can't really do anything."

News: The Big Ten has adopted a conference rule to raise its roster spending cap to $49 million, with additional league penalties for violations. Meant to line up with the PCSA if it passes, but effective immediately. Still subject to NCAA and CSC rules.

NEW @TheAthletic: Seven months after his split from UNC, Hubert Davis still isn’t quite ready to discuss how things ended at his alma mater. But he does know one thing: “Given the right situation, absolutely, I would love to coach again.” nytimes.com/athletic/7729407…
Hubert Davis remembers ‘everything’ about UNC tenure but looks forward as TNT analyst (Gift Article)

Ugh, such unfortunate news. Kamario has been one of the most fun players in all of CFB this season. Excited to see him back on a field in 2027.

After Arizona’s win over Iowa State, Brent Brennan stopped at Dirtbag’s and bought around 300 shots of tequila (a $2,000 bar tab) for UA fans and alumni in town for Homecoming. Brennan paid the tab and walked out. Brennan, on buying a round for Arizona fans at Dirtbag's: "I think it's important that if you want people to show up for you, you have to show up for them. ... It was an expensive five minutes, but it was a good five minutes." (Video via Arizona Athletics)

College football is a place where a baby riding a bronze pig makes perfect sense and will likely be a deeply meaningful family photo for decades to come

They’ll be no more remarkable performance in college football today than the one put forth by Yale QB Dante Reno. One day after his father passed away, he played for Yale and threw four touchdown passes and for 298 yards. Yale beat Merrimack 41-24. Bravo.

New: As of August, Nikki Hood is cancer-free. But she and her husband @MDavidHood remain in awe of the support they got from the "Clemson family" this summer after her breast cancer diagnosis, including cards and catering platters from the Swinneys: thestate.com/sports/college/…
