From 2015-2019, Dabo Swinney led Clemson to the College Football Playoff four out of five seasons, winning the CFP National Championship in 2016 and 2018. In October 2018, the landscape of college football was forever altered with the introduction of the transfer portal. Programs have utilized the transfer portal to add talent like they recruit the high school talent pool. Swinney has shunned that approach, refusing to add scholarship players from the transfer portal. The Tigers have not made the CFP the last four seasons, and in 2023 Clemson failed to win 10 games, the first time since the 2010 6-7 season. Clemson was one of four programs not to add from the portal this offseason, with the other three being the service academies. Now, No. 14 Clemson prepares to take on No. 1 Georgia as 13.5-point underdogs in the 2024 season opener, with the Dawgs having added nine scholarship players via the portal.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.
