Description The host exposes the shocking infiltration of radical ideologies at home and abroad. They dive into the controversy surrounding Clemson University's new president, Kevin Guskowicz, exposing his past ties to DEI initiatives and his public praise for the debunked 1619 Project. The political gloves drop as the host details the ongoing South Carolina primary fallout. They reveal how a massive conservative vote split ultimately forced a runoff between Pam Evette and Alan Wilson, and they fiercely demand that Donald Trump stop meddling in local state races. Finally, the segment highlights a wild twist in Washington: house Democrats are unexpectedly blocking the unconstitutional FISA Section 702 spy database—a move the host completely cheers on to stop the weaponization of the FBI!

Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call to discuss the changing future of college football, conference realignment, and the growing debate over the College Football Playoff. Could the SEC and Big Ten eventually separate from the NCAA and create their own college football governing structure? If that happens, should the SEC expand by adding major brands like Florida State, Clemson, and Miami? Mick and Jake break down why the SEC and Big Ten continue to hold the most value in college football and what that could mean for the ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, and the rest of the sport. The guys also dive into the future of the College Football Playoff, including the ongoing debate between a 16-team CFP format and a 24-team playoff. Would expansion help college football, or would it weaken the regular season by allowing too many multi-loss teams into the postseason? Plus, Mick and Jake discuss the end of “cupcake” games, the push for better SEC scheduling, Notre Dame's independent status, ESPN's influence on the playoff, preferred kickoff times, and the latest on Alabama athletics — including Alabama football, Alabama softball's Women's College World Series run, and Alabama baseball hosting St. John's in the Super Regionals.

Why Blake Miller Fits the Job The Detroit Lions Podcast zeroed in on the offensive line build after the draft. The focus was Blake Miller stepping into the right tackle spot while Sewell moves to the left side. Miller was described as one of the most experienced linemen in this class, with four years of work and a heavy snap load at Clemson. The book on him is clear: reliable, steady, and ready to play early. There are limits. He plays upright at times, and his athletic profile may cap the ceiling. He is not expected to be flashy or perfect. He is expected to be consistent. Strong enough. Athletic enough. A steady performer on the right side once he settles into the NFL. That level of baseline competence on a rookie deal is valuable. The expectation is capable starter play after some early leeway. Sewell's Switch and the Young Right Side The conversation backed the move of Sewell to the left without much trepidation. Confidence ran high that the transition will hold. A point of debate centered on the right side growing together, with Tate Ratlidge on that side and Miller as a rookie. The group acknowledged bumps are likely early in the year when a second-year player and a rookie share that edge. Coaching and structure are the counter. The Lions can help with tight end alignment to Miller's side and avoid leaving both young players on an island. Continuity across the rest of the line and a smart play caller can shield them as they settle in. Expect some turbulence, then progress. The description of Miller's game even echoed the reliable profile long tied to Taylor Decker at left tackle, a comparison that drew a nod that it worked out well. Petzing's Offense, From a Voice Who Worked With Him The show also touched on new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. One guest worked in Cleveland when Petzing was there as the tight ends coach and offered a positive read. The takeaway was practical: he helped with understanding the offense and details from the ground up. That perspective matters as the Lions tailor protections and calls to bring the young right side along. Put it together and the roadmap is straightforward. Miller brings dependable snaps. Sewell handles the left. The staff leans on continuity and targeted help to guide the right side. It is a plan built for the NFL grind, and the Detroit Lions Podcast laid out how it can work. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nfl #drewpetzing #jackcampbell #keithabney #blakemiller #jimmyrolder #derrickmoore #tyrewest #lionsdraft Learn more about your ad choices.

Which college football coaches are REALLY on the hot seat heading into the 2026 season? Brad Powers and Joey Knish break down the coaches they believe may not survive the year at their current schools, including Bill Belichick at North Carolina, Deion Sanders at Colorado, Dabo Swinney at Clemson, Shane Beamer at South Carolina, Mike Locksley at Maryland and more. The crew debates whether Bill Belichick will still be coaching at North Carolina in 2027, if Deion Sanders missed his chance to leave Colorado, and whether Dabo Swinney can still compete in the modern era of college football. They also discuss which programs are falling behind financially, the toughest jobs in college football, and which coaches are under the most pressure heading into the season. Will Bill Belichick succeed at North Carolina? Can Deion Sanders keep Colorado relevant without Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders? Is Clemson heading toward a major fall under Dabo Swinney?

NCAA chaos erupts as Ole Miss head coach Pete Golding faces accusations of tampering, firing back with bold admissions and challenging the league's selective enforcement. Brian Smith spotlights the tangled web as Clemson's Dabo Swinney, LSU's Lane Kiffin, and other top programs exchange high-profile player transfers, calling into question the fairness and consistency of NCAA sanctions. Is Ole Miss being unfairly singled out while other powerhouses escape scrutiny? The conversation turns to the proposed Protect College Sports Act (PCSA), which aims to curb transfers, limit NIL agent profits, and grant the NCAA unprecedented antitrust exemptions. Smith dissects why giving more power to the NCAA and politicians might backfire, raising tough questions about transparency, enforcement, and the future of college football's free market. Can the NCAA truly regulate rampant “cheating,” or will the PCSA create even greater conflict across the sport? Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it's time to make it official.

In this episode, we introduce a new game called “Bed or Built,” where we take some of college football’s most repeated narratives and decide whether it’s time to put them to bed or if they’re still built to last. With the 2026 season creeping closer, we sort through the stories that have followed programs, coaches and fan bases for years, and ask which ones still make sense in the current version of the sport. We dig into Mario Cristobal and Miami, Matt Rhule’s turnaround reputation, Lane Kiffin’s chaos factor, Ryan Day’s “born on third base” label, Texas A&M’s hard ceiling, Oregon’s late-season hurdle, Clemson’s attempts to adapt, James Franklin’s big-game baggage and the difficulty of following Nick Saban at Alabama. Along the way, we get into the transfer portal, coaching hires, College Football Playoff expectations, roster-building, fan perception and how quickly old narratives can become outdated.

Former Alabama quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down some of the biggest storylines shaking up college football and the SEC. Should the College Football Playoff expand from 12 teams to 16 — or even 24? Coker explains why a 16-team playoff could benefit the SEC, while the guys discuss Greg Sankey's pushback on a larger field, the future of the SEC Championship Game, and whether television networks are influencing the expansion debate. Then, the conversation turns to the explosive Ole Miss–Clemson tampering investigation. After Dabo Swinney publicly accused Ole Miss and Pete Golding of improper contact involving a Clemson player, the NCAA now faces a major credibility test. Could the new transfer-tampering penalties lead to a head-coach suspension and a massive financial penalty? Plus, Jake and Mick debate Ole Miss's historical place in the SEC and preview one of the most personal games of the 2026 season: Lane Kiffin returning to Oxford as LSU's head coach to face Ole Miss. Topics include: College Football Playoff expansion, SEC football, Jake Coker, Alabama football, Ole Miss football, Clemson football, Pete Golding, Dabo Swinney, Lane Kiffin, LSU football, NCAA tampering rules and the SEC Championship Game.

Brian Smith spotlights rising five-star Segun Alexander's whirlwind tour—official visits from Cal to Notre Dame spark speculation about his future. Key insights include Auburn and Nebraska's offensive line upgrades, Carter Jones' move to Clemson, and Texas A&M's record-setting NIL spending spree. The conversation also covers recruiting trends, the politics behind player rankings, and which teams are poised for top-10 class finishes as commitment season reaches its boiling point.

Did Brandon Beane nail the 2026 NFL Draft, or did the Buffalo Bills over-strategize by trading out of the first round?In this episode of Go for 2, we break down every single pick of the Bills' 10-man draft class with zero fluff. We look past just the names on the jersey and dive straight into the film, testing each prospect against the metrics that matter: height, weight, speed, and college production.What we analyze for every pick:The Tape & Metrics: Measurables, traits, and true statistical impact.Value vs. Reach: Did Buffalo maximize the draft board or leave elite talent on the table?Scheme Fit: How do these pieces unlock Joe Brady's offense and reshape the defensive unit?The Super Bowl Timeline: Are these immediate impact contributors for a title run, or developmental projects?From the aggressive trade-backs to the selection of Clemson edge rusher T.J.

Stay connected with us at americangroundradio.com, on Facebook, and Instagram. You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for May 20, 2026. We open with what may be the most consequential immigration enforcement move in American history — and it has nothing to do with border walls or patrol agents. President Trump signed a new executive order directing the Treasury Department to scrutinize all financial activity tied to illegal immigration — targeting payroll tax evasion, hidden bank accounts, labor trafficking networks, underground cash economies, and the remittance systems that funnel billions of American dollars back to Mexico and other countries. We explain why going after the money is more powerful than any physical barrier, why Willie Sutton's famous explanation for robbing banks applies perfectly to why illegal immigration exploded, and why choking the financial infrastructure of the entire illegal immigration machine may be Trump's most consequential domestic policy move of either term. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Thomas Massey lost his Kentucky congressional primary to former Navy SEAL Ed Gowran — in the most expensive House primary in American history at $25.6 million — after Trump endorsed Gowran and a district that voted for Trump by 85% finally ran out of patience with a congressman who spent his career blocking the agenda they elected him to advance. We note that Massey primaried himself out. Then Trump endorsed Texas AG Ken Paxton over incumbent Senator John Cornyn in a Senate runoff — and we raise the concern that while Paxton may win the primary, he may be a harder sell in the general against Democrat James Tallarico. And Alabama's gubernatorial race will be a Tuberville-Doug Jones rematch — and we think Tuberville wins easily as Kay Ivey is term limited out. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the question of whether women have forgotten how to age gracefully in America — from Demi Moore's skin-and-bones appearance at the Met Gala to Madonna's increasingly alarming transformations, from Lori Loughlin's well-done facelift to Helen Mirren as the gold standard of graceful aging. We also get into the GLP-1 revolution, the body positivity pendulum that swung hard in the other direction, and whether there is still room in American culture for a woman to be beautiful, powerful, and visibly her age at the same time. We play the Hakeem Jeffries clip from the Center for American Progress that should alarm every American regardless of party — the House Minority Leader saying out loud that the goal of House Democrats is not to persuade MAGA voters but to break them and break their spirit. We explain why that language is not just offensive but genuinely dangerous — because when the goal of politics shifts from persuasion to breaking half of your fellow citizens, you have crossed into territory that leads somewhere nobody should want to go. In our Digging Deep segment, the NAACP has launched a website called Out of Bounds urging black high school athletes to boycott colleges in the South — Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Clemson, Tennessee, Texas, and Texas A&M — because those states are redrawing congressional districts without race as a primary factor following the Supreme Court's ruling. We call it what it is — the NAACP demanding that 17-year-old black athletes from struggling families sacrifice life-changing scholarships for the Democrat Party's political agenda. No one's right to vote has been suppressed. Every vote still counts exactly one. The Supreme Court said you cannot draw districts based on race — and that is equal protection, not suppression. We also cover California's bizarre new rule allowing a biological female who finishes behind a transgender athlete to share the podium spot with the winner — which we describe as a participation trophy that accidentally acknowledges the injustice without having the courage to fix it. And the mother of the transgender athlete who won the race is upset about the rule. We note that the girl is the problem, apparently. For our Bright Spot, J.D. Vance filled in at the White House press briefing after the mosque attack in San Diego and was asked about religious violence in America. We play his answer in full — because it is one of the most theologically and constitutionally precise defenses of religious liberty we have heard from any public official in years. The right to find God through your own free will is the first right in the Constitution because you cannot force anyone to it. Violence against religious freedom is a violation of the laws of God, not just the laws of man. We call it a bright spot and mean it. And we close with 10-year-old Ernesto Hernandez — who wanted a 3D printer, whose mom told him to save up and buy it himself, who did chores until he had $500, bought the printer, started making keychains and fidget spinners, now runs three printers full time, is selling in local stores, and says he wants to invest in a house for his mom and him when he grows up.

Miami Hurricanes land high-upside recruit Jayvon Dawson, igniting buzz about a return to classic South Florida recruiting dominance. Can this under-the-radar edge rusher become Miami's next NFL-bound defensive star? Brian Smith breaks down why Dawson, a versatile talent from Santaluces Community High School, could be a major steal despite modest rankings, and examines Mario Cristobal's evolving strategy to target local gems. Nationwide, recruiting heats up as Indiana, Florida State, Arizona State, and others score key commitments—including top-100 tackle Jake Hildebrand and quarterback Logan Flaherty. The conversation spans the impact of NIL on official visits, Clemson's exceptional hit rate with its late May recruiting weekend, and the shifting landscape in the ACC as Florida State struggles to keep pace with Miami's talent haul. Listener questions spark debate over recruiting tactics, outlandish stunts, and whether Miami could assemble the top secondary in the 2027 class.

Why Blake Miller fits Detroit now The Detroit Lions drafted Clemson right tackle Blake Miller in the first round. Sunday's Detroit Lions Podcast with Jeff Riston and guest Justin Mello zeroed in on why. Miller logged 57 career starts at Clemson, all at right tackle. That volume shows reliability and routine. Around the NFL, evaluators praised his football character. Mello called him a coach's dream. He is quiet until football talk flips the switch. Miller's demeanor matters. He is monotone in small talk. He comes alive in scheme. That focus aligns with the Detroit Lions and what Dan Campbell values. It is not about flash. It is about assignments, strain and finish. The culture fit looks natural. What his own words reveal Mello described a favorite moment from his pre-draft interview. He asked Miller to break down his favorite play from Clemson's playbook. The answer poured out. Miller cited the play by name, detailed his assignment, and recalled two specific reps from one game. He said the first rep featured a better block from him. He preferred the second because it resulted in a touchdown, even though he whiffed a bit on his job. That story lands with weight. It shows recall. It shows honesty. It shows a player who puts team outcome over personal grade and still knows exactly how he must improve. That is the kind of detail that translates in the NFL. It also explains why Mello thinks Miller will be a steady, above-average starter with a real shot at elite play. Right tackle today, options tomorrow Riston said Miller will play right tackle in Detroit. Management has also talked about a move to the left side. Mello believes left or right will not matter in time because Miller is so steady. Starting him where he has 57 starts lets him hit the ground running. The Lions needed a long-term answer at tackle after the Taylor Decker situation, and Miller checks that box. Mello even projected a major second contract in four or five years, the kind teams reserve for cornerstone linemen. That confidence flows from wiring, not hype. Fans are coming around for the same reason. Miller was not viewed as a first-rounder last August. His growth since then changed the calculus. This episode distilled it cleanly. The Detroit Lions get a day-one right tackle who loves the work. They keep the door open for a left tackle move if needed. They add a player whose football character matches the locker room. That is how you build an NFL line that lasts. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #2026nfldraft #tennesseetitans #blakemiller #keldricfaulk #jimmyrolder #camward #titansoffseason Learn more about your ad choices.

The guys debate whether Volpe should reclaim shortstop, learn multiple infield spots, or let Jazz Chisholm and Jose Caballero hold their current roles. The Mets discussion centers on the need for more power, whether a big swing for a bat like Yordan Alvarez is realistic, and why Rafael Devers does not feel like the right fit. The segment also touches on the Mets' place in the standings, Tiki's Clemson memories, college football playoff expansion, and a heartfelt tribute to former Nets center Jason Collins.
