Melissa Furman, a leadership coach and consultant, is scheduled to deliver the keynote address Oct. 19 at the AICPA Governmental and Not-for-Profit Conference in Dallas. She joined the Journal of Accountancy podcast to preview her session, touching on the challenges organizations face in dealing with multiple generations in the workforce. She explained how differences in communication and technology preferences and workplace expectations can lead to conflict but also can create learning opportunities for employers. Furman singled out her own generation as both "the problem and the solution" and made a college football-related comparison to the generation's communication style. She also advised professionals to learn more about colleagues and direct reports instead of relying on generational stereotypes. What you'll learn from this episode: Why five (or more) generations in the workforce create both challenges and opportunities. How communication preferences differ across generations and affect workplace relationships. Why Melissa Furman calls Generation X the "Heisman generation." What millennial and Gen Z workers want from employers when it comes to flexibility, leadership access, and technology. A parting thought to leaders: "Get out there" and "learn your people."

In this episode, Randall and Arielle recap week 2 of the HBCU football season. They react to North Carolina Central's 30-22 rivalry victory over North Carolina A&T in the Aggie-Eagle Classic and Alcorn State's wild 53-51 double-overtime win over UAPB in the Southern Heritage Classic. The duo also discusses a weekend of lopsided money-game losses and the viral criticism questioning whether HBCUs can compete in sports. Finally, they preview South Carolina State's ranked matchup against Furman and make their picks for week 3. Can Randall hold on to his narrow lead over Arielle?

The Tennessee Vols' defense may be much better than expected in 2026. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down Tennessee's defensive performance against Furman, Xavier Gilliam's dominant three-sack performance, the emergence of the defensive line and what it could mean for the Vols heading into Saturday night's matchup with Georgia Tech. Yes, it was Furman. But there were still plenty of encouraging signs. Xavier Gilliam was the biggest standout, recording three sacks and constantly creating disruption up front. After entering the season with questions surrounding Tennessee's edge-rushing situation, Gilliam's performance provides another potential answer for the Vols' defensive front. Tyree Weathersby also made an immediate impact, while the hosts discuss how much more Tennessee's defense could have in the tank once Arion Carter returns from his suspension. The Vols also received strong performances from transfer defenders Amare Campbell and others, while several young defensive players showed enough to create optimism about Tennessee's depth. But the real test comes against Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets struggled to run the football against Colorado, which could create an opportunity for Tennessee's defense to dictate the game. Georgia Tech quarterback Alberto Mendoza was one of the team's best players in Week 1, meaning Tennessee's secondary could face a much tougher test than it did against Furman. Charlie and Zach discuss whether Georgia Tech will lean more heavily on Mendoza through the air, how Jim Knowles could attack the Yellow Jackets and why Tennessee's defense may be able to control the game if it stops Georgia Tech's rushing attack.

"Tennessee vs. Furman Reaction + Tragic Officiating in Ann Arbor" | Overtime HR 1 09/08/26

The Tennessee Vols' offense could be one of the most exciting units in college football in 2026 — but there is one major question standing in the way. Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down Tennessee's offensive performance in the season opener, the incredible early returns on Faizon Brandon, the emergence of Mike Matthews and DeSean Bishop and the biggest concern facing the Vols heading into their matchup with Georgia Tech. The biggest positive? Faizon Brandon looks like a legitimate difference-maker. The true freshman quarterback showed tremendous poise in his first game, made smart decisions with the football and added an element with his legs that Tennessee hasn't consistently had since Hendon Hooker. Brandon's ability to escape pressure, avoid negative plays and turn broken plays into first downs could significantly raise the ceiling of Tennessee's offense. Charlie and Zach explain why that element of Brandon's game reminds them of what made Hooker so effective during Tennessee's explosive 2022 season. But there is one major problem. The offensive line did not look as good as expected against Furman. Tennessee struggled at times on the right side, rotated several players and still appears to be searching for its best combination at right tackle and right guard. The hosts aren't ready to panic, but they believe Tennessee needs to settle on a consistent lineup before the competition gets significantly tougher. And the Vols have plenty of talent around the quarterback. Mike Matthews had a huge game, DeSean Bishop continues to look like one of Tennessee's most physical players and the running back room appears much deeper than expected entering the season. Tennessee also has a wide receiver room loaded with potential contributors. If the offensive line can become a strength, Charlie and Zach believe Tennessee could have an offense capable of ranking among the best in the country. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailMason Copi just came off a win at Cirque Series Alta, and what stood out to us wasn't only the speed it was the optimism. We talk right after the race about the course, the steep Baldy descent, and why feeling “locked in” can look like smiling, waving, and actually enjoying the chaos.From there we zoom out into Mason's full arc: Southern California roots, a nationally competitive high school program, Division I running at Furman, and the moment the sport started to feel like self-worth instead of sport. Mason shares how David Roche's The Happy Runner mindset helped him rebuild a healthier relationship with training, then why trail running and sub-ultra racing became the perfect reset. If you care about mountain running, the Golden Trail Series, and the rise of the hybrid track-to-trails athlete, this one hits all the right notes.We also get practical. Mason breaks down how he trains like a road athlete during the week with threshold and 10K-style work, then adds mountain specificity on weekends. We dig into cross-training doubles on the bike to build aerobic volume with less wear and tear, plus his simple race-day nutrition for an hour-long mountain race, including caffeine gel timing and why “something sweet” can help you go all out.If you're chasing faster sub-ultra results, better mindset under pressure, or just a more sustainable love for trail running, you'll leave with tools you can use right away.

Mike Keith on 3HL - Vols Dominate Furman & Look Ahead to Georgia TechSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new type of Labor Day telethon is underway in South Carolina.  Clemson fans are collecting their hard earned money to help raise the $57 million needed to buyout the contract of two-time national championship football coach Dabo Swinney. LSU virtually assured the end is near for 56-year old Coach Swinney after a 51-10 beatdown on national television Saturday night in Baton Rouge.  The Bayou Bengals spotted Clemson an early 3-0 lead after LSU was intercepted on the game’s first series. LSU then roared back to score 51 consecutive points to take a 51-3 lead in the fourth quarter.  The Louisiana Tigers registered 309 rushing yards to go with 335 passing yards while utilizing three different quarterbacks. Clemson could manage only 145 yards in total offense and a measly eight first downs in the game.  Most of those totals came in the fourth quarter. It was the worst loss of Coach Dabo Swinney’s 18+ year career at Clemson. The Clemson coach (for now) said afterwards, “The best thing about that game is that it’s over.” Yes, and so is your time at Clemson, coach.  This new telethon just hasn’t reached its goal – yet. The first game in the Lane Kiffin era at LSU was a rousing success LSU fans were confident that former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin would be able to improve the team’s offense.  No one likely expected this amount of improvement, though. A school record 38 first downs were recorded during LSU’s 51-10 thrashing of Clemson in front of 102,000 rain-soaked Tigers fans in Baton Rouge. LSU’s transfer portal brigade of 44 new players led the way.  Former Arizona State quarterback Sam Leavitt passed for 230 yards and ran for another 113 on 13 carries as he accounted for three scores. Back-up quarterback Landen Clark (from FCS power Elon in Greensboro, NC) also looked sharp going 5-for-7 with another touchdown pass for LSU. It was Wisconsin transfer running back Dillin Jones who stole the show for LSU versus Clemson.  The former high school wrestler lowered his shoulders and bullied his way for 113 yards against what had been expected to be a tough Clemson defense. LSU’s 644 yards in total offense against a nationally-respected ACC team like Clemson opened a lot of eyes on Saturday night. The Tigers’ next opponent scored even more points – in just the first half! Is Louisiana Tech really that good (probably not) or was Northwestern State really that bad (yes) While LSU was thrashing Clemson, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs scored a school record 63 points in the first half against long-time foe Northwestern State University in Ruston Saturday night. Exactly like Clemson did against LSU, Northwestern State took a 3-0 lead early in the first quarter against the Bulldogs. Louisiana Tech then reeled-off a school record 80 consecutive points to demolish their north Louisiana FCS rivals. Final score – Louisiana Tech 80, Northwestern State 6. The Demons from Natchitoches are now 0-2 after losing their home opener 42-37 to surprising NAIA member Louisiana Christian (Pineville) last weekend. Third-year head coach Blaine McCorkle came to Northwestern State with high hopes after he had turned-around the football program at Belhaven College in Mississippi. Coach McCorkle told the press after Saturday’s loss, “These games can get sideways on you in a hurry!” Indeed, Coach! His Demons football teams are now 1-25.  Coach Blaine McCorkle’s lone win came in 2025 as Northwestern State scored a 20-10 home victory last season against Alcorn State. Meanwhile, the Ruston-based Bulldogs travel to Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge to take on the LSU Tigers this Saturday.  Last year, Tech made LSU work hard to earn a 23-7 home win. With LSU scoring 51 points against Clemson and Louisiana Tech ringing-up 80 on Northwestern State, don’t expect another low scoring affair this Saturday in Baton Rouge. Nuts and bolts, nuts and bolts, Western Michigan got… NBC’s television cameras showed that the game clock was at 0:00 after Michigan’s last-gasp Hail Mary pass went incomplete against 27-point underdog Western Michigan.  The Broncos from the Mid-American Conference had just defeated #16 Michigan 12-7 in front of 107,000 stunned Wolverines fans in Ann Arbor Saturday afternoon! But wait! The referees huddled for a few minutes and told the stadium crowd and home television audience that there was one second left on the clock.  Michigan would get one more chance. A well conceived second heave-ho by Michigan’s vastly overpaid NIL quarterback Bryce Underwood landed in the hands of wide receiver JJ Buchanan for a 47-yard score in the game’s second “final” play. Afterwards, thousands of jubilant Michigan fans stormed the field to celebrate the home team’s unlikely 13-12 win. Western Michigan fans and a nationwide television audience were up in arms after watching the referees grant another chance to the Wolverines.  The refs claimed that the clock being kept on the field by the officials was different from what the stadium and home viewers were seeing. R-i-i-i-ght! Impressed by: Both #9 Ole Miss and #24 Louisville – The Rebels won last night’s 41-38 thriller on a last second field goal in Nashville.  These two teams looked very sharp – especially in the second half. We already knew that Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambiss was good.  It was Louisville’s Lincoln Keinholz who surprised a national television audience with 309 yards of passing and 69 yards rushing to account for three Cardinals’ touchdowns.  How about a rematch of these two teams in the playoffs! Pittsburgh – If you’re looking for an early Heisman Trophy surprise candidate, look no further than true sophomore quarterback Mason Heintschel of Pitt. The Panthers’ QB passed for seven (correct) touchdowns and 434 yards in Pitt’s season opening 59-14 trouncing of Miami (Ohio).  Watch out, ACC! Virginia – The University of Virginia has one of the most experienced and oldest college rosters in the country.  This group of “senior” citizens from Charlottesville opened the season with a 34-8 rout of ACC rival North Carolina State a week ago.  Virginia’s Wahoos play an incredibly easy schedule in 2026.  It includes just only one current Top 25 team (at #19 SMU on October 17).  Did someone say “Playoffs?” Tarleton State – This fast-rising FCS school located southwest of Fort Worth, Texas improved to 2-0 after beating FBS Mid-American conference member Bowling Green 20-13 in Kentucky Saturday. How ’bout those Texans?!! U-Mass – The Minutemen have been one of the worst major college football teams for more than a decade.  U-Mass had just 18 wins against 94 losses over the past ten football seasons.  On Thursday night, the University of Massachusetts went to New Jersey and defeated Big Ten member Rutgers 37-21 as Scarlet Knights fans sat in stunned silence. Too early to tell: Season-opening cupcakes are fattening and don’t sharpen your squads for the games ahead. Let’s give a rain check to the following teams until they actually play a worthy opponent: #1 Ohio State 56, Ball State 3 #3 Georgia 63, Tennessee State 3 #5 Texas 59, Texas State 7 #6 Indiana 52, North Texas 16 #7 Miami 45, Stanford 6 #8 Texas A&M 50, Missouri State 0 #10 Oklahoma 51, UTEP 0 #12 Texas Tech 33, Abilene Christian 10 #13 Alabama 48, East Carolina 10 #14 BYU 63, Utah Tech 7 #18 Penn State 45, Marshall 0 #20 Tennessee 56, Furman 9 #21 Utah 66, Idaho 14 #22 Iowa 40, Northern Illinois 0 #25 Missouri 54, Arkansas-Pine Bluff 14 Not impressed by: #2 Oregon – The Ducks were tied with unranked Boise State 27-27 midway through the final quarter at home Saturday afternoon. A late touchdown pass gave Oregon a 34-27 lead. It took a final defensive stand to end Boise State’s upset bid and keep Oregon from being embarrassed on national television.  Oregon’s #2 ranking should drop. #4 Notre Dame – The halftime score of Sunday night’s game in Green Bay was “Notre Dame 13, Wisconsin 10.”  That’s when the Fighting Irish woke up in the second half to score 28 more points in a 41-13 win.  Notre Dame does not have the same talent as last year’s team.  However, the Irish do have a lightweight schedule which will keep this team as a likely playoff contender.  America’s most over-hyped team was not impressive in Week #1. #16 Michigan – We have already covered that lucky win over Western Michigan.  Forget the playoffs, Wolverines fans. Your team may be fortunate just to finish 7-5. Auburn – The “other” SEC Tigers got a break when Baylor went for a two-point conversion in the closing seconds. The Bears were stopped inches short of the goal line and a possible winning conversion.  Auburn took this 17-16 “Siesta Bowl” victory in one of the most boring televised games in recent memory.  Baylor is no slouch, but Auburn’s offense still stinks. Relieved by: LSU – Coach Lane Kiffin did not place his former NFL preseason football players onto Saturday night’s roster against Clemson.  That was a wise move and left a lot of legal options open. LSU will travel to Kiffin’s former employer at Ole Miss in two weeks.  Free idea – the most hated coach in the state of Mississippi might want to consider coaching his new team from the press box (behind some well-tested safety glass) for that game in Oxford. Oh, no!  Here we go again… Oklahoma State – The Cowboys fired longtime football coach Mike Gundy and finished 1-11 in 2025. The Pokes then hired rising young football coach Eric Morris from North Texas.  Coach Morris brought a truckload of his former Mean Green football players along with him to Stillwater.  Alas, his orange-clad Cowboys were trounced 24-10 on the road by Tulsa Saturday. This week, #2 ranked Oregon (which beat Okie State 69-3 last year) is coming to Stillwater.  Uh-oh. Charlotte – The 49ers have been a bad college football team for years.  The team formerly known as UNC-Charlotte has posted just one winning season (2019) in the past 13 years. Their Week #1 home game saw FCS member The Citadel take a 43-41 triple overtime win over the home 49ers.  It’s going to be another long season in Charlotte. UL-Monroe – I wanted to believe that this year’s Warhawks might be able to break the school’s 13-year streak of not having a winning football season. Alas, ULM is already 0-1 after losing 62-13 at Mississippi State on Saturday.  The Warhawks’ defense (?) gave up a calculator-busting 762 yards as the Bulldogs racked-up 35 first downs.  ULM placekicker Abram Murray (from C. E. Byrd High School in Shreveport) kicked a 52-yard field goal and 40-yarder to give ULM a ray of hope should this team play in a close game later in the season.    This was a fun first week of the college football season.  I can’t wait for Week #2!

Broadcasting live from the Anderson Athletic Center, Coach reviews Tennessee’s 2026 season-opening victory over Furman. While technically imperfect, the game delivered the ideal outcome for the program, allowing the coaching staff to answer critical questions at quarterback and evaluate defensive adjustments. Quarterback Performance: Faizon Brandon led the offense with an impressive debut, throwing for 226 yards and three touchdowns while adding 76 rushing yards and two scores. Backup quarterbacks George MacIntyre and Ryan Staub also earned valuable reps in the win. Defensive Foundation: The Volunteers displayed improved fundamentals, strong secondary tackling, and tight gap control. Interior defensive lineman Xavier Gilliam sparked the pass rush with three sacks, helping hold Furman without a single passing first down. Tactical Rotations: Tennessee frequently utilized two-tight-end sets to shield their young quarterback and facilitate the running game. Offensively, situational player pairings were featured heavily, pairing primary receivers like Ethan Davis (TE) and Bishop Thomas (RB) on passing downs, while turning to Miles Thomas (TE) and Deshaun Bishop (RB) for run situations. Key Takeaways & Areas to Improve: The host highlighted strong kicking game execution and effective punt returns, but noted room for growth—specifically, improving edge containment against reverse plays, refining pass-rush lanes against scramble-prone quarterbacks, and capitalizing on turnover opportunities after forcing zero takeaways.

Charlie Burris and Zach Ragan break down Tennessee's 2026 season, starting with Saturday's matchup against Furman and looking ahead to what could be a massive year for Josh Heupel and the Vols. How good can Tennessee actually be? The guys go through the schedule and make their predictions for every game, including the biggest matchups against Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and LSU. Charlie has Tennessee finishing the regular season 10-2, while Zach predicts a 9-3 record. Both believe the Vols have a legitimate path to the College Football Playoff, but there are plenty of opportunities for Tennessee to stumble along the way. A huge part of Tennessee's ceiling will depend on true freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon. The Vols have plenty of talent around him, including DeSean Bishop, Mike Matthews and Braylon Staley, but Brandon will be asked to navigate one of the toughest schedules in college football. The guys also discuss the importance of Jim Knowles' first season as Tennessee's defensive coordinator. After concerns about how quickly the new system would come together, there is optimism that Knowles can turn the Vols' defense into a legitimate strength by the end of the season. Plus, Charlie and Zach make their bold predictions for the 2026 season. Will Mike Matthews emerge as an NFL Draft first-rounder? Can Kayin Lee become one of Tennessee's breakout defensive stars? Could an offensive player find himself on the Heisman radar? And can Jim Knowles produce a top-20 defense? Before all of that, though, Tennessee has to take care of business against Furman. The Vols are massive favorites entering Saturday's game, and the guys expect Tennessee to win comfortably. Zach predicts a 70-3 type of game, while Charlie lands around 55-6.
