The ~personal news~ that matters.

(Glad she decided to say yes, too.)

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@MattNorlander Hypothesizing something here: Duke ➡️ East, Michigan ➡️ Midwest, Arizona ➡️ West, and Iowa State (or Houston) ➡️ South.

UConn is No. 5 on the S-curve and goes with Michigan, leaving Houston, Illinois, Purdue.

Houston would be locked in the East with No. 1 overall Duke, no?

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@FPL__Raptor For those still with the FH, should we worry about price falls for AFCON players?

I've got Mbuemo and was planning to sell to Fernandes. However, thinking about selling Minteh for Bruno, then Mbuemo out next week or the week after to have both for this week.

Swap Syracuse if you care about BC and Pitt as a protected rivalry.

Make it an 8-year rotation if you care about home-and-homes. Regardless, you have balanced schedules and easy tiebreakers.

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

James Madison should absolutely get the CFP spot over Duke. But the easy solution is PODS. And yes, let me give the short version…

[Ben Portnoy @bportnoy15]

I’m only half-kidding when I ask this: Are we sure an 8-5 Duke team would get in over James Madison?

I’m not convinced they should…

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

Within 4 years, you can play all 17 teams — for the 6-team pods, you have 3 non-pod games every year and get through the other 11 (with one repeat).

You can shuffle the groups every 4 years for balance, if needed. But all traditional rivalries are preserved.

Haven’t been on here in a while, but this is news worthy of a tweet. I remember being in the DMN newsroom a little less than six years ago with Joe telling me how badly he wanted this specific job.

Now he’s got it, and it is absolutely earned and so deserved!

Some personal news ~

I’m heading back to The Dallas Morning News as their newest Dallas Cowboys beat reporter. I start next week.

@dallasnews has held a special place in my heart since my internship there nine years ago. It’s truly a home for me, and I can’t wait to go back.

[Hank Tucker @HankTucker13]

There was no coach I enjoyed covering more for the @DukeChronicle than Chris Pollard, and he opened so many doors I didn’t think were possible for Duke baseball. I hope he knocks that last door down for himself at UVA, and I hope Duke meets him in Omaha when it happens.

A fun interview this weekend with Gov. Josh Shapiro about the Eagles, the most popular Pennsylvanian, a potential new stadium, and so much more...

Watch it now on YouTube or on the @PHLY_Eagles pregame show:

[Philadelphia Eagles @Eagles]

It all comes down to this moment.

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@RobDauster It has been like this for YEARS. I don't know how the ACC hasn't told Wake that getting new cameras is a must. Makes the games unwatchable.

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@statsbywill This has been a frequent offline topic with my fellow Duke alums. It's not just that there are so few big opportunities, but way more that any loss (other than at Clemson or UNC) is likely Q2 and potentially Q3.

Tanner McKee, please

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@denizselman33 Can you explain how the "points" are calculated?

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

STARBOY. THIS KID.

AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDD

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

I don't know if Arkansas State has had a better assistant during the Butch Jones era than @CoachAKwon. One heck of a recruiter and someone who's consistently developed players into potential pros.

[Kara Richey @Kara_Richey]

UCLA is targeting Arkansas State assistant Andy Kwon to be their offensive line coach.

[Mitchell Gladstone @mpgladstone]

@JakePavorsky It's not solely the HC, but I think it's the combination of him and some of "his guys" blending with Moore/Nussmeier. For whatever reason, it's been better but not consistent, and I don't know how it gets there with Sirianni still in charge.
