Each week, Rivals.com's WoodyWommack and RobCassidy take a look around the world of high school and college sports to spotlight unique, bizarre and utterly ridiculous moments.
The President of the United States apparently decided that Clemson’s recent national championship was captured by a team full of grade-school students and served Dabo Swinney’s squad Wendy's and Burger King along with some pizza during their White House visit.
Forget the debate over the pallets of college students, though. Cast aside the silver platters on which the burgers were presented. The strangest part of the ordeal is perhaps the ‘s’ that PresidentTrump adds at the end of Burger King, as if each individual Burger King menu item is its own slice of royalty. The thought process that must be at work here is fascinating on all fronts.
It was just a few years back that people made a big deal about facilities such as Alabama’s including barber shops, but we can always rely on college football to push the envelope when it comes to ridiculousness, so here we are spitting fire next to the film room. Hopefully the South Carolina football program will start pumping out awful singles to rival the ones released by such athletes as KobeBryant, DeionSanders and ShaquilleO'Neal.
Bonus points if we get a few bars about losing five straight games to in-state rival Clemson.
The game of musical quarterbacks that’s going on just a week into the offseason is something college football fans are still getting used to, with a new name popping into the transfer portal on an almost hourly basis.
Once Hurts and Martell make their decisions official, it will just lead to more quarterbacks making moves. And of course to more horrible portal dad jokes by college football media.
The Miami Hurricanes have a new head coach, MannyDiaz, a defensive guru and native of the area that also was the brains behind the turnover chain. It appears that Diaz’s next big idea has a wrestling slant, as he and his new team took time over the weekend to practice their wrestling moves on tackling dummies, complete with a cinematic hype video release.
Diaz is trying to bring energy back into the program and it seems like he’s going to make it happen no matter what, even if he has to do it himself.
