Dan Wetzel and SI's Pat Forde & Ross Dellenger kick off the podcast discussing the latest college football proposal to shorten the duration of games after NCAA officials met earlier this week on the topic. In their four-part proposal, the biggest changes could include running the clock both after a first down is gained and after an incomplete pass. The podcast debates how likely it is that we see these changes get made in the near future.Elsewhere, Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney isn't thrilled with the developments surrounding the expanded college football playoff. Swinney believes that there is too much catering to the players, while still putting their academics and health in the rearview mirror.The Texas Longhorns athletic director finally answered the age-old question as to why we haven't seen Texas don alternate uniforms.Lastly, in scary animal news, Canada has developed super pigs that are now running rampant across the country and could be making a break for the US border.1:00 College Football officials are looking to speed up games41:00 Dabo Swinney made his thoughts known about the CFP expansion49:47 Why don't the Texas Longhorns have alternate uniforms?51:40 The US is facing a threat from Canadian “super pigs”Stay up to date with the latest college football news and coverage from Yahoo Sports on Twitter @YahooSportsCFB.Follow Dan @DanWetzelFollow Pat @ByPatFordeFollow Ross @RossDellengerCheck out all the episodes of the College Football Enquirer and the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Ruffin McNeill is basically like family to Garrett Riley and Lincoln Riley, so with Dabo Swinney's major hire of TCU's former offensive coordinator McNeill had a lot to say about Garrett and his history with him. In the mid-1980s, McNeill got his start in college coaching as a grad assistant for Clemson under Danny Ford. He considers those years two of the most formative of his entire career coaching football. Greg McElroy of ESPN covered Clemson's final game of 2022, a dispiriting loss to Tennessee in the Orange Bowl in which the offense put up a bunch of yards but reached the end zone just one time. McElroy gives his own take on the Riley acquisition, and the state of Clemson football not just after two years of the Tigers not reaching the playoff, but amid Georgia's rise to dominance. McElroy believes it's time for Swinney to totally step away from the offense and hand the keys totally to Riley. "It's time for him to take a knee," McElroy said.
Tammy Swinney is ok with not being out in the front of the pack on race day. In fact, she's embraced the role of "struggle bus driver" and enjoys encouraging fellow back of the packers get to the finish line.

Mickey Plyler visits the podcast to try to make some sense of the current college football world from bowl opt-outs, to the transfer portal, to NIL, and to Clemson's dispiriting performance in the Orange Bowl against Tennessee. What to make of six losses for Clemson the past two years? Does it signal a significant decline worthy of Dabo Swinney making some changes, or are the Tigers on the way back with Cade Klubnik showing real promise in the last two games of 2022? Four years ago it seemed like a Clemson-Alabama world, and entering the 2019 season there was seemingly legitimate talk of the Tigers going 45-0 with Trevor Lawrence after the freshman tore apart the 2018 CFP. Since then there have been new arrivals to the party -- LSU, Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, TCU -- and the Tigers and Crimson Tide found themselves on the outside looking in this season. Plyler has spent the week fielding calls and texts on his radio show saying that the party is over for Clemson, and that Swinney needs to change his ways. What's a fair criticism? What's an unfair criticism? We try to sort it out in this postseason conversation with the WCCP-FM host.
Will Swinney, oldest son of Dabo Swinney, joins the podcast to reflect on life in the real world as he works for a Charlotte-based real-estate development company. This past football season was a strange experience for him as he tried to figure out how to watch games as a spectator. "I realized how little I knew about getting around Memorial Stadium," he said. "I didn't even really know what to wear for games because I was so used to that being decided for me as a player." Swinney recalls when the Rocky theme was so prominent for the 2018 team that Dabo Swinney brought his own DVD of Rocky 3 to show the team the night before it played Alabama in the national championship. As the team departed the locker room for kickoff, Dabo saw to it that strains of "Eye of the Tiger" blared through the room. Will also gives his thoughts on the recent transition at quarterback from DJ Uiagalelei to Cade Klubnik, and what he thinks Klubnik will bring to the offense moving forward.
When Jacoby Ford was trying to get back into the NFL, Dabo Swinney wrote personal letters on his behalf to the general managers of every league team. Ford remains close with Swinney and Clemson's football program. In October the former football and track star was inducted into the school's athletics Hall of Fame. Ford, now coaching at his old high school in South Florida, has many thoughts about the current state of Clemson football. With the playoff now off the table, he thinks the offensive staff should play both DJ Uiagalelei and Cade Klubnik. With so few playmakers on the outside, he thinks the staff should do a better job of finding receiver prospects in the state of Florida. Ford maintains that Clemson football is going to be just fine in the future, that the Dabo dynasty is not over as some claim. But in the short term, he does question some of the decisions made in last week's loss to South Carolina. "Will Shipley and Phil Mafah are our best players," he said. "We need to feed them the ball." Ford, who played at Clemson from 2006 to 2009 and spent four seasons in the NFL, said he doesn't have much interest in coaching at the college level. He said he would return to Clemson to help the Tigers' recruiting operation if that opportunity came about.
A reflection on hospitality, rooted in the story of A Rocha and the life of the late co-founder Miranda Harris, alongside her daughter Jo Swinney. At a time when loneliness and isolation have reached unprecedented levels, it has never been more important for Christians to embrace the practice of hospitality. For many, it is a lost art—a practice we have forgotten, neglected or distorted beyond all recognition. Amid material comforts and rife individualism, practising hospitality can often hold unrealistic expectations and insurmountable pressure. But what if the practice of hospitality was simpler and yet more profound than we imagined? From the simple act of preparing vegetables to the warm welcome of a stranger, co-authors Miranda Harris and her daughter Jo Swinney re-define hospitality for the modern age. Drawing on biblical insights and a deep well of experience—most significantly within the community in the A Rocha family—this is a warm invitation to embrace the loving kindness of others. To be hospitable doesn't require culinary excellence or matching cutlery—it doesn't even require a home of one's own; true hospitality offers a welcome into imperfection and messiness, a place to belong and be embraced. Following the progression of a meal, from its planning to the moment every guest has departed, A Place at the Table is a heart-warming invitation into a life of thoughtful food preparation, shared meals and meaningful conversation.
Will Dabo change his ways? Week 11 previewOne loss does not end an era, but Clemson's slip against Notre Dame validated what many suspected: For the second straight season, the Tigers aren't national title contenders. Where does Dabo Swinney take the program from here? Andrea Adelson of ESPN and the ACC Network joins AP's Ralph Russo to explore whether Swinney can pivot away from some of the pillars that he built a championship program upon. It's not just a matter of Dabo changing his ways. It's about an all-time great coach altering his DNA. It's also about asking if expecting Clemson to continue as a perennial national title contender is even realistic. Also, a Week 11 preview of most intriguing games from a Big Ten West slog-fest to a grudge match deep in the heart of Texas.

In 2012, Tyler Venables and his brother Jake moved to a strange and different new world when they left Norman for Clemson upon their father becoming the Tigers' defensive coordinator. A decade later, Tyler's sisters are going through the exact same experience in Norman after leaving the place they knew as home when Brent Venables went back to Oklahoma to be head coach. Tyler, a junior safety for Clemson, reflects on the devastating 24-hour period in 2011 that ended up playing a major role in Brent leaving his comfort zone in Norman and doing something completely new and different with Dabo Swinney. Tyler was only 10 at the time when Oklahoma linebacker Austin Box and Brent's brother Kirk died within a day of each other. He was too young to grasp the magnitude of it in the moment, but as an adult he still has trouble holding it together as he reflects on that immensely difficult period for his father and the family. After Brent left for Oklahoma last December, Tyler surprised everyone and maybe even himself when he opted to remain at Clemson. He stayed because of his love for Swinney and his attachment to the holistic culture he has built over the years. When Brent turned down the Auburn job in 2020, Tyler thought that sealed his future. "I thought at the time: 'He's going to retire as a defensive coordinator,'" he said. A year later, Lincoln Riley shocked the college football world by leaving for Southern Cal. And soon thereafter, Tyler's father was presented with the opportunity of a lifetime.

Fourteen years ago, Billy D'Andrea was the man who went to fetch Dabo Swinney from the football offices after Terry Don Phillips and Tommy Bowden parted ways. Swinney, then the receivers coach for Clemson, couldn't understand why he was being summoned to the AD's office. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked D'Andrea. "How long is this going to take because we're busy getting ready for Georgia Tech." Swinney's world was rocked a few minutes later when he was told not just that his head coach was out, but that Phillips had chosen him as the interim coach. "Who? Me? Really?" was Swinney's response as he looked at D'Andrea and then back at Phillips. D'Andrea, who was Phillips' right-hand man during the most important juncture in Clemson football history, looks back at a time when most everyone outside of Clemson was questioning the hire at best, and mocking it at worst. D'Andrea lives in the Clemson area and serves as a municipal judge. He also is a beekeeper, having learned the craft from the wife of former AD Dan Radakovich.

Hey, Clemson Family -- D.J. Uiagalelei and the Tigers offense, unlikely as it might have once seemed, had to carry a hurting defense to victory over Wake Forest on Saturday in a 51-45 double-overtime thriller. After Clemson jumped out to a 14-0 first-quarter lead, why did it end up being so close, though? Daniel Shirley and Bill Zimmerman analyze what went wrong for the Tigers defense and why the offense was able to, as head coach Dabo Swinney put it, shoulder the load and ensure Clemson could remain undefeated four games into the 2022 season. Surely things must improve before playing N.C. State at home in primetime next weekend in front of a raucous Death Valley crowd that also will see College Gameday on campus in the morning. Tyler Davis returned from injury showed what he's capable of on defense against Wake Forest, but numerous others need to step up their game and perhaps as Swinney put it rediscover their "edge."

Hey, Clemson Family, let's dive into what we're seeing about playcalling under new Tigers offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter, there are certainly ways that Dabo Swinney's “Clemson offense” can evolve and we got our first look at some differences as well as some long-standing similarities during Streeter's first game at the helm. We also got some breaking news Thursday about Swinney's new contract extension that will keep him on the sidelines in Death Valley for a long time to come, we'll examine a few aspects of how it can impact the football program in the coming years. We've also got a few items to watch for during this week's game against the Furman Paladins, with last week's season-opening wins for both programs in mind. And we'll look at a hot start for the defending national champion Clemson men's soccer team as they move up to a unanimous No. 1 in the rankings as well as a big start for Tigers volleyball with a landmark win over archrival South Carolina last week.

Virginia athletics director Carla Williams announced on Dec. 10, 2021 the hiring of Tony Elliott as the University of Virginia's Fralin Family Head Football Coach. Elliott became the 41st head football coach in the program's history. Elliott spent 11 seasons as an assistant on Dabo Swinney's staff at Clemson. In January of 2021, he was named the program's assistant head coach and offensive coordinator. He previously served as the team's co-offensive coordinator (2014-20) and the team's running backs coach (2011-20). At Clemson, Elliott was a part of a 10-season stretch in which the Tigers won 10 or more games. In that span, Clemson won six Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, made four appearances in the College Football Playoff National Championship game and captured national titles in 2016 and 2018. Since Elliott's promotion to co-offensive coordinator prior to the 2014 Russell Athletic Bowl, the Tigers posted an 89-10 record and ranked in the top 12 nationally in total offense. Clemson either led or ranked No. 2 in the ACC in total offense in five of his seven seasons as an offensive coordinator. Elliott's 2018 and 2019 offenses were responsible for two of the 22 650-point seasons in major college football history. Elliott was named the Frank Broyles Award recipient as the nation's top assistant coach in 2017. Before transitioning to the tight ends room this year, Elliott was in charge of Clemson's running backs for his first 10 seasons. In that time, he guided Clemson running back Travis Etienne to one of the most illustrious careers in ACC and college football history, helping him set the NCAA record for most games scoring a touchdown (46) and secure ACC records for career rushing yards (4,952), total touchdowns (78), rushing touchdowns (70) and points (468). As the program's offensive coordinator, Elliott worked with two first-round draft picks at quarterback, including the 2021 first overall pick Trevor Lawrence. From 2015-2020, a Clemson offensive player took home both the ACC's Player of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year awards four times. Prior to returning to his alma mater, Elliott spent three seasons at Furman (2008-10) and two at South Carolina State (2006-07) coaching wide receivers at both schools. Prior to his coaching career he worked for Michelin North America for two years. In 2002, Elliott earned his undergraduate degree in industrial engineering from Clemson, where he was a first-team Academic All-ACC selection as well as a CoSIDA Academic District III member. He was also a recipient of an ACC Weaver-James-Corrigan Postgraduate Scholarship. Under Tommy Bowden, he came to Clemson as a walk-on wide receiver in the fall of 1999 and finished his career with four letters and appeared in 44 games. Swinney was his position coach his senior year (2003) in which he was named a co-captain of a team that finished with a 9-4 record and a No. 22 final ranking by AP and USA Today. Born in Watsonville, Calif., Elliott and his wife, Tamika, have two sons, A.J. and Ace
An illustrious coaching heritage is embedded in the foundation of Clemson football. At the dawn of the 20th century, the Tigers were led by future College Football Hall of Famer John Heisman. Hall of Famers Jess Neely, Frank Howard and Danny Ford followed in Heisman's winning tradition. Now entering his 15th season (and 14th full season) as Clemson's head coach, Dabo Swinney has already carved his name into that foundation, elevating himself amid a pantheon of Clemson greats by becoming the first coach in program history to lead Clemson to multiple national championships. Swinney's stratospheric start to his head coaching career placed his record not only among Clemson legends but also among the names of the winningest leaders in the more than 150 years of major college football. With his final win of the 2021 season, Swinney reached 150 career wins in his 186th game as head coach. In terms of games played, Swinney became the sixth-fastest coach in FBS history — and the fourth-fastest in the modern era — to earn 150 career wins, trailing Urban Meyer (176), Gil Dobie (180), Barry Switzer (180), Fielding Yost (184) and Joe Paterno (184). Entering 2022, only 16 coaches in FBS history including Swinney had accomplished the feat within 200 games, and 14 of the 16 had been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, with the lone exceptions being Swinney and Meyer, both of whom are not yet eligible. The 150th win came in Swinney's 13th full season and his 14th season overall including his seven-game interim stint in 2008. He moved into third place in FBS history for the most coaching wins in the first 15 seasons of a head coaching career, trailing only Meyer (165) and Bob Stoops (160). Swinney will have the opportunity to take aim at both in his 15th season as head coach in 2022. Though other seasons resulted in more hardware, analysts and observers opined that 2021 might have been Swinney's best coaching job, as the Tiger mentor guided his team through adversity and attrition to overcome a 2-2 start to finish 10-3 and extend Clemson's streak of consecutive 10-win seasons to 11. Clemson entered that October as one of 28 Power Five teams with two or more losses, yet concluded the season along as one of only two of those 28 programs to finish the season having reached 10 wins. Swinney's 2021 Tigers played seven one-possession games, one shy of the school record, and went 5-2 in those contests. The squad's success came in spite of tremendous turnover and attrition, as 48 different players earned at least one start, eight more than started in the pandemic-impacted 2020 season. Only 23 Clemson players played in all 13 games, and only four offensive or defensive players started all 13. Between injuries and transfers, Swinney held aloft the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl trophy following a game Clemson finished without the services of 30 scholarship players from its initial fall roster. A year earlier, Swinney's squad accomplished its “double-double mission” in 2020, going 10-2 in a condensed season to give Clemson 10 consecutive 10-win seasons. Clemson became only the third program in FBS history to accomplish the feat and became the first school to win 10 games in 10 straight seasons as a member of the ACC, as only the final nine of Florida State's record 14-straight 10-win seasons came during the Seminoles' tenure in the ACC. The pandemic-affected 2020 campaign was a historic one for the Tigers both as a team and individually, as quarterback Trevor Lawrence ascended to become the winningest quarterback in school history (34-2) and running back Travis Etienne added the ACC's all-time rushing crown (4,952 yards) to his arsenal of school and conference records. Etienne's versatility as a rusher and receiver earned him consensus All-American honors as an all-purpose selection, while Lawrence became the second Heisman Trophy finalist in program history, tying Deshaun Watson (second in 2016) for the highest finish in Heisman Trophy voting in school history. The prolific backfield duo under Swinney's tutelage helped guide Clemson to its sixth consecutive outright conference title with a 34-10 win against Notre Dame in the ACC Championship Game. That day, Clemson and Oklahoma's six-year streaks of outright conference titles made the two programs the first among current Power Five programs to win at least six straight outright titles since Oklahoma (12 from 1948-59) as part of the now-dissolved Big 8 Conference. The conference title helped Clemson secure its record-tying sixth College Football Playoff berth, becoming the first program ever to reach the postseason tournament in six consecutive seasons. Clemson is 6-4 all-time in College Football Playoff games, the second-most wins of any program and twice the number of the third-place programs (three, Georgia and Ohio State). Clemson finished the 2020 season as the nation's No. 3-ranked squad, the Tigers' sixth consecutive top-four finish in the AP poll. In doing so, Swinney joined Bobby Bowden (13), Pete Carroll (7) and Bud Wilkinson (6) as the only coaches since the AP Poll's inception in 1936 to record six consecutive top-four finishes. In that stretch, Clemson appeared in the top five of 57 consecutive AP Polls, the second-longest streak in poll history. Clemson entered the third decade of the 21st century in 2020 after Swinney helped author one of the most prolific 10-year periods in the history of the sport. Clemson posted a 117-22 record under Swinney's leadership in the 2010s, and the program's 117 wins trailed only Penn (124 in the 1890s) and Alabama (124 in the 2010s) to tie for the third-most in a decade in major college football since 1890. Clemson's 117 wins in 2010s represented the first 100-win decade in Clemson history. Before a pandemic-shortened season in 2020, Clemson won at least 12 games in five straight seasons from 2015-19, tied for the longest such streak in the modern era and only two seasons shy of Penn's record seven-season streak from 1892-98. Clemson won 69 games in that five-year span, the most in a five-year stretch in the AP Poll era. In 2019, the Tigers earned their fifth consecutive College Football Playoff berth following their fifth-consecutive ACC title, becoming the first team in college football history to win five straight conference championship games since conference title games were created in 1992. Clemson posted a 14-1 record that year, earning its fourth appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in five years. Prior to the season finale, Clemson extended its school-record winning streak to 29 games, tied with Florida State (2012-14) for the longest streak in ACC history and for the 12th-longest in FBS history. Clemson dominated the vast majority of its 2019 opponents, including an eight-game streak of wins by 30 or more points to break the longest streak in the AP Poll era, surpassing the previous mark of seven games set by 2011 Houston and 1976 Michigan. At 150-36, Swinney (.806) enters the 2022 season as the winningest active coach by percentage in the FBS among coaches with at least 10 seasons of head coaching experience. With an initial hire date of Oct. 13, 2008, he is the senior member of the ACC's head coaching fraternity and enters 2022 as the ninth-longest-tenured head coach in the FBS. Clemson's success on the gridiron has been matched by its prowess in the classroom, as prior to the NCAA suspending APR reporting during the COVID-19 pandemic, Clemson was one of only three programs to earn top-10 percent APR recognition from the NCAA in at least nine of the previous 10 years, joining Duke and Northwestern. Clemson was in the top 10 of APR scores and the final top 25 of the AP and USA Today polls from 2011-15, the only FBS program that could make that claim. In 2017, Clemson became the first school to reach the College Football Playoff and finish in the top five of APR scores in the same year. Clemson also produced the 2018 William V. Campbell Trophy winner (known colloquially as the “Academic Heisman”) in Christian Wilkins and won the program's first AFCA Academic Achievement Award. Clemson repeated as AFCA Academic Achievement Award recipients in 2019, becoming the only school in the country to repeat and doing so while appearing in the national championship game in both seasons. Swinney and Clemson's 2018 season was one for which statistics and superlatives accumulated in historic fashion. The Tigers became the first major college football team in the modern era (and the first since Penn in 1897) to finish a season with a 15-0 record. The list of “firsts” was long and distinguished. Clemson became the first program to win four consecutive Atlantic Division titles, and with a 42-10 win against Pittsburgh in the ACC Championship Game, it became the first program to win four straight ACC titles outright. Clemson's 15 wins included a school-record 12 against teams who finished with winning records. Clemson won by an average margin of 31.1 points per game, the best in the nation and the second-largest in school history, trailing only a 35.3-point average margin in 1900. Among the seasons it passed was a 30.4-point average margin in 1901, a season in which Clemson won one of its five games by a score of 122-0. Clemson set school records in points (664) and total offense (7,718, also an ACC record). The defense held opponents to 13.1 points per game, leading the country in scoring defense for the first time in school history. A critical point in the season came four games into the campaign. Following a 49-21 win at Georgia Tech in which true freshman quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for four touchdowns in reserve, Swinney and the coaching staff elected to name Lawrence the starter, supplanting senior Kelly Bryant, who had led the Tigers to a 16-2 career record as a starter. With Lawrence leading Swinney's Tigers, Clemson took flight. After a dramatic come-from-behind 27-23 win against Syracuse in which Lawrence exited the game with an injury, Clemson rattled off 10 consecutive wins of 20 points or more to conclude the season, including blowout wins of No. 3 Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl and No. 1 Alabama in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Seven players earned first or second-team All-America honors, including a school-record three players who collected consensus honors. The 2018 Tigers produced a team-record 18 All-ACC picks and became the first team to produce the ACC Player of the Year, ACC Offensive Player of the Year, ACC Defensive Player of the Year, ACC Offensive Rookie of the Year and ACC Coach of the Year in a season since Florida State in 1997. Accolades also accumulated for Swinney, who earned his second career ACC Coach-of-the-Year honor and brought home the Woody Hayes Award as national coach of the year. Less than a week after winning the national title, he also won the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award, becoming the first three-time winner of the award. Including the 2018 Bryant and Hayes Awards, he has won national coach-of-the-year honors from at least one organization in five of the last nine years. The 2018 season was preceded by a 2017 campaign in which Clemson was on a mission to prove that it was built to last. Swinney guided the team to a 12-2 record, an ACC title and a College Football Playoff berth despite having only six scholarship seniors and losing players who accounted for 77 percent of the offense during the 2016 national championship season. While Clemson was ranked No. 5 in the preseason AP Poll, few expected the Tigers to be ranked No. 1 in both polls and the College Football Playoff ranking entering the bowl season. In fact, Clemson was not even the preseason choice to win the ACC Atlantic Division. Despite a setback in the Sugar Bowl to the eventual national champion, Alabama, Clemson finished ranked No. 4 in both polls. He was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame following the season. Clemson's school-record six wins over top-25 teams in 2017, also a national best, included a school-record four on opponents' home fields and five away from home. The defense, including three defensive linemen, featured four players who were named All-American, helping Clemson rank in the top four in the nation in scoring defense (No. 2) and total defense (No. 4). Clemson led the ACC in the four major defensive categories (scoring, total, rushing, passing), a first in history. The 2016 Tigers lived up to their hype after compiling a 14-1 record and earning a spot in the College Football Playoff for the second-straight year. Along the way, Clemson knocked off five top-25 foes. Clemson defeated the top two teams in the national polls in consecutive games in the College Football Playoff at the end of the season. The Tigers blanked Ohio State, 31-0, in the Fiesta Bowl, the first shutout suffered by head coach Urban Meyer in his career and the first for Ohio State since 1993. The Tigers then earned a rematch with No. 1 Alabama, and for the first time in school history, took down the top-ranked team in a second epic battle with the storied Crimson Tide program. Quarterback Deshaun Watson's touchdown pass to Hunter Renfrow with one second left on the clock gave Clemson a dramatic 35-31 victory in Tampa, Fla. Swinney received the Bear Bryant Award as national coach-of-the-year for the second consecutive season. Swinney coached Watson to two record-setting seasons in 2015 and 2016. The two-time Heisman Trophy finalist became the first player in FBS history to total 4,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards in a season in 2015, and he followed by setting an ACC record with 41 passing touchdowns in 2016. Watson won both the Davey O'Brien Award and Manning Award in back-to-back seasons. Swinney guided Clemson to the No. 1 national ranking in every College Football Playoff poll in 2015 and led the Tigers to their first national championship game appearance under the new format after his team defeated Oklahoma, 37-17, in the 2015 Orange Bowl. The Tigers led Alabama in the fourth quarter of the championship contest, but came up just short (45-40) in an epic game in Glendale, Ariz. Following the team's 14-1 record and No. 2 final ranking, he was the recipient of 10 national and two ACC Coach-of-the-Year honors. In 2015, a then-Tiger-record 17 players were named to one of three All-ACC teams, including all five starting offensive linemen for the first time in school history. In 2016, 15 players were honored, including a school-record three first-team All-ACC offensive line selections. The 2012, 2013 and 2014 seasons were also noteworthy, with three top-15 final rankings. With a 40-6 Russell Athletic Bowl victory over Oklahoma in 2014, Swinney became the first coach in history to win three bowl games in consecutive seasons over teams whose head coaches had previously won the national title. He upped that mark to five years in a row in 2016. Clemson capped off the 2013 season with a thrilling 40-35 victory over No. 6 Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Clemson had an 11-2 record after finishing 7-1 in ACC regular-season games. It marked Clemson's first back-to-back 11-win seasons in school history. For the fourth time in his first five full seasons as head coach, Swinney was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual National Coach of the Year in 2013. The 2012 season (11-2) was a groundbreaking year for Swinney's Tigers when looking at the overall consistency of the program. The seven conference wins in the regular season were then a school record, while Clemson was co-champion of the ACC Atlantic Division. With Clemson's thrilling 25-24 win over No. 7 LSU in the 2012 Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Tigers finished the season ranked No. 9 in the USA Today poll. It was Clemson's first top-10 finish in one of the two major polls since 1990. Clemson also reached the 11-win mark for the first time since its 1981 national championship season. Swinney's 2011 squad, which ended the season ranked No. 22 in the nation, captured Clemson's first ACC title since 1991 when it beat No. 3 Virginia Tech, 38-10, in the ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, N.C. It gave Clemson its first 10-win season since 1990. For his efforts, Swinney was named Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year in 2011 to become the first Tiger head coach to win a national coach-of-the-year award since Ford in 1981. In 2010, Swinney became just the second Tiger coach to lead Clemson to a bowl game in his first two full years as head coach, joining his predecessor, Tommy Bowden. The 2010 schedule was one of the most challenging in school history, as nine bowl teams were on the regular-season slate and two of the four non-conference opponents were ranked in the top 25. In 2009, Swinney's first full season as head coach at Clemson, he led the Tigers to their first title of the ACC Atlantic Division. The Tigers came just six points short of winning their first ACC title in 18 years. Swinney was named ACC Coach of the Year by Sporting News and was a finalist for the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. In October 2008, Swinney was named Clemson's interim head coach, replacing Bowden, who had been his position coach as a player at Alabama and was Clemson's head coach since 1999. He led the Tigers to a 4-2 record during the rest of the 2008 regular season, including a win over South Carolina in the regular-season finale to earn a Gator Bowl bid against Nebraska. On Dec. 1, 2008, his interim tag was removed and he was named the program's head coach. At the time, there had been 28 interim head coaches at the FBS level since 1970, and those coaches had combined for a 26-86-2 record. Only one of those 28 interim coaches posted a winning record, and that was Swinney. When he was hired as head coach, he became just the second interim coach to be elevated to the head coach position at the same school during that time period. Swinney hit the ground running in his first week as interim head coach, as he prepared for a 5-1 Georgia Tech team. He had to reorganize his staff and regroup his team and the fanbase in just five days. While the Tigers lost by four points, he accomplished many goals in that first week through his outstanding leadership. One of the most impressive demonstrations of unity came during the team's “Tiger Walk,” which has since become a staple of Clemson's game day routine for both the team and fans. Swinney has demonstrated his dedication to the community through Dabo's All In Team Foundation. Since 2009, the Swinney family and Dabo's All In Team Foundation have given more than $7.8 million back to communities and programs in the state. In its inaugural year, the foundation made the first contribution to the cancer fund established for former Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich, and many schools followed its lead during the remainder of the season. In 2021, the foundation distributed roughly $1.2 million in financial support to their core focus areas, with $800,000 of that being distributed to more than 200 deserving organizations and non-profits through the foundation's grant program. In 2019, the foundation awarded a record $1,082,000 in grant funding to more than 165 and raised $400,000 for breast cancer research and prevention during the organization's annual Ladies Clinic. The foundation's efforts went virtual in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as the organization's ALL IN Virtual Fundraising Event alone raised nearly $1 million for organizations and efforts in South Carolina. Swinney was named as the honorary coach for the 2019 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, an honor for which Watson, a former Good Works Team selection, returned to Clemson to surprise Swinney during a team meeting. In the spring of 2021, Swinney accepted the Uncommon Award from Pro Football Hall of Fame Coach Tony Dungy, who presents the honor annually to figures in football who “take the tough road, follow a higher calling and set a higher standard.” The 1993 Alabama graduate joined the Clemson staff prior to the 2003 season. In his first 19 years as an assistant or head coach, the Tigers finished in the top 25 of the polls 15 times and totaled 42 wins over top-25 teams. Swinney coached his wide receiver position to a level of consistency that had not been seen previously at Clemson. He had a wide receiver finish first or second in the ACC in catches in five of his six seasons as an assistant coach. In his first season, he had three of the top-10 receivers in the conference, a first in Tiger history. In his 19 seasons at Clemson, a Tiger wide receiver has earned All-ACC status in 17 of those campaigns, including a first- or second-team All-ACC selection (Derrick Hamilton, Airese Currie, Chansi Stuckey, Aaron Kelly, Jacoby Ford, Sammy Watkins, DeAndre Hopkins, Artavis Scott, Mike Williams, Tee Higgins, Amari Rodgers) in 16 of those 19 seasons. In 2021, three of his protégés (Williams, Higgins and Hunter Renfrow) recorded 1,000-yard seasons in the NFL, while another (Chansi Stuckey) served as wide receivers coach at Big 12 champion Baylor before accepting the wide receivers coach job at Notre Dame for 2022. The Alabama native has a reputation as one of the top recruiters in the nation. In 2006, he was listed as the No. 5 recruiter in the nation by Rivals. He signed 38 players in his five recruiting seasons as an assistant coach and was a major reason Clemson's 2008 recruiting class was rated No. 2 in the nation by ESPN when he signed 11 players. Clemson's 2020 class finished as a consensus Top 3 class, earning the top ranking from ESPN, a No. 2 rank by Rivals and a No. 3 ranking in the 247 Composite. When Swinney accepted the interim head coaching position at Clemson on Oct. 13, 2008, he described his feelings as “bittersweet,” because he was taking over for Bowden, who had been his first position coach at Alabama in the 1989 season. He had also brought Swinney back to the coaching profession in 2003 and has had a profound effect on his life. Both had followed similar paths as players, as Bowden was a walk-on at West Virginia and Swinney was a walk-on at Alabama. Swinney received a commerce & business administration degree from Alabama in 1993 after lettering three times (1990-92). A walk-on who went on to earn a scholarship, Swinney was a wide receiver on Alabama's 1992 national championship team. He was also named Academic All-SEC along with being an SEC Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll member in 1990 and 1992. Along with his appearance in the 1993 Sugar Bowl, his Alabama teams played in the 1990 Sugar Bowl, 1991 Fiesta Bowl and 1991 Blockbuster Bowl. Both Sugar Bowl appearances came after winning the SEC title game. After his playing career, he was a graduate assistant at Alabama from 1993-95. He received a master's degree in business administration from Alabama in 1995. He became a full-time assistant coach at Alabama in February 1996 under head coach Gene Stallings and coached a total of five seasons there on a full-time basis. Swinney was assigned to coach the Crimson Tide's wide receivers and tight ends in 1996, a season that saw Alabama win the SEC West Division title. The following year, he solely coached the tight ends. In 1998, he coached Alabama's wide receivers, a position he held for three years. At the end of 1999, Swinney coached the Crimson Tide in the 2000 Orange Bowl after winning the SEC Championship Game. During his time at Alabama, Swinney was a part of six teams with double-digit wins, five top-10 finishes, one national title (1992), three SEC championships (1989,92,99) and five SEC West Division titles (1992,93,94,96,99) as a player and coach. Swinney married the former Kathleen Bassett in 1994. They have three sons, Will, Drew and Clay. Will played for Clemson from 2017-21, appearing in 69 games and holding for 558 career kicking points while also scoring two touchdowns of his own. Drew and Clay are both members of the 2022 Tiger football team.

Gary Stokan has been one of the major movers and shakers in college football over the past two-plus decades. As the CEO and president of the Peach Bowl, Stokan has been instrumental in making Atlanta a prominent player in college football. When he was in his 20s, Stokan worked for shoe companies and helped seal sponsorship deals with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. He still kicks himself for letting Michael Jordan get away to a struggling company called Nike. The sneaker business was forever changed when MJ and Nike joined forces. Stokan gives some insight into why Clemson's opener against Georgia Tech will have a capacity of just 45,000 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. He also shares what it's been like to develop a friendship with Dabo Swinney over the years as Swinney built Clemson from a perennial underachiever, to a really good program, to an elite one. Kelly Quinlan, longtime chronicler of Georgia Tech football, provides a pulse on the Geoff Collins regime and looks back at the mistakes Collins made starting out. The Yellow Jackets have won a total of nine games the past three seasons, and a rigorous 2022 schedule has enhanced the likelihood that this will be Collins' final season on The Flats. Quinlan was close with Paul Johnson during the coach's long tenure at Georgia Tech, and he still communicates with him regularly. Asked if Johnson might be taking some satisfaction in the struggles that followed his departure, Quinlan responded: "I'm sure he's sitting there with a glass of bourbon and puffing on a cigar and getting a chuckle out of this."

A harmless-looking man moved to Montreal looking for a new start and to get off drugs. Somewhere along the line, his urge to prey on unsuspecting women, something he'd done and kept a secret for twenty years, became too much to keep inside. William Fyfe, aka "The Killer Handyman," snapped, leaving at least nine women brutally beaten, murdered and sexual abused (post-mortem). If not for the diligent work of a criminal forensic specialist and her discovery of a single fingerprint, Fyfe may have continued to kill at will, keeping Montreal residents, particularly single elderly women, frightened and sequestered in their own homesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

The Texarkana Moonlight Murders Were a series of murders in the spring of 1946 where 8 people were attacked, 5 of which murdered. Similar to the Zodiac and the Monster of Florence, the attacker focused on male/female couples. Also similar to those cases, the attacker has never been caught. OK, first off, what the hell is Texarkana? You're probably thinking “that's not a state I've ever heard of.” and you, passenger, would be correct. Texarkana began as a railroad and lumber center and is considered the two county area between Texarkana, Arkansas in Miller County and Texarkana, Texas in Bowie County and according to the US Office of Management and Budget, the Texarkana metropolitan statistical area (or MSA) has the area with around 137,000 people living in it, as of the 2020 census. The Red River Army Depot and Lone Star Ammunition Plant seemed to drive the jobs to the area, mainly due in part to that little skirmish called World War 2, in the 1940's. It was founded in 1873 and has three possibilities of how it acquired its name. First, there was a Red River steamboat that tugged around the area named “The Texarkana” and the settlers just liked the name. Second, a storekeeper named “Swindle” from Louisiana made up a drink called “Texarkana Bitters” and the settlers were a bunch of drunks who liked that name. My kinda folks! Third, it was named by railroad surveyor, Colonel Gus Knobel, who took one look out his front door and said: “Well, there's Texas over there, Arkansas over there and Louisina down there. Hmmm… I got it! “Arkanexasiana!” No… That won't do. Think, Colonel, think! “Louie's Assless Exes!” Dammit! No… Texarkana! Eureka! That's the stuff!” The area is also home to the Fouke Monster, which resides in Boggy Creek and seems to be their version of the one and only Moody, I MEAN SASQUATCH! The four violent attacks took place from February to May in 1946, which doesn't seem like spring but let's just go with it. The attacker had his sights on couples. Male/female couples to be exact. Although focusing on gay couples would have made the area and the attacker quite progressive for the time. Or much worse. The first attack was on Friday, February 22 of 1946, right around 11:45 at night. 25 year old Jimmy Hollis and his 19 year old girlfriend, Mary Jeanne Larey decided to head to lovers lane after seeing a movie together. I'm not sure what movie they saw but it was probably either Song of the South, The Stranger or Strangler of the Swamp. Regardless, after the movie they wanted to do some neckin' and proceed to park at lovers lane, which was about 300 ft past the last row of houses in that area. Ten minutes later, as they were sitting in the secluded and dark area, probably talking about how the moon was made of cheese, a flashlight suddenly shined through Jimmy's driver side window. As he looked up, all he could see was a figure resembling a man with a white cloth mask and eye holes cut out, standing outside his door. The mask was said to look like a pillowcase with eye holes. Which is frightening in and of itself. Jimmy, thinking it may be a joke, told the guy to fuck off and that he had the wrong car, to which the man said: “I don't want to kill you, fella, so do what I say.” The masked man then ordered Jimmy and his girlfriend, Mary Jeanne, out of the car, through the drivers door when the man yelled, “Take off your goddamn britches!” This order was directed at Jimmy and as he was doing what the terrifying man said to do, the attacker pulled out a pistol and cracked Jimmy in the head, twice. Later on, Mary Jeanne would say that the sound of him hitting Jimmy was so loud, she thought they were gunshots. Instead, those sounds were Jimmy's skull fracturing. Rightfully so, Mary Jeanne assumed the dude with the gun was trying to rob them. She grabbed Jimmy's wallet and showed the man that he was broke as a joke, when the man smacked her in the head with a blunt object, presumably the gun handle or the flashlight. The attacker told her to get on her feet and as she stood, he told her to run. She took off running toward a ditch but the man yelled at her and told her to run up the road. “Not toward the ditch, woman! There's snakes in there! I hate snakes! Head up the road like a civilized victim!” Mary Jeanne hightailed it up the road and spotted a car but there was no one inside. Then, as she turned around and like she was magically whisked away to an 80's slasher flick, the attacker was standing there, asking her why she was running. For some reason, that part freaks me out. Maybe because he's obviously toying with her or maybe because I was traumatized by Friday the 13th, as a child. Mary Jeanne responded to the man by telling him that he had told her to run. This set him off and he yelled “Liar!” He then knocked her to the ground and proceeded to sexually assault her… with the barrel of his pistol. YUCK! After the assault, Mary Jeanne gathered herself up and ran to a house nearby where she banged on the door, waking the residents, who then helped her call the police. During this time, or shortly after, Jimmy had regained consciousness and flagged down a passing car who ran and called the police, as well. Bowie County Sheriff Presley and three officers arrived on the scene, short of 30 minutes, but the attacker was nowhere to be found. Mary Jeanne spent the night in the hospital for her head wound and Jimmy was there for several days with multiple skull fractures. When asked to give detailed descriptions of their attacker, Jimmy and Mary Jeanne had slightly different details. Well, they both agreed that he was around 6 feet tall but Mary Jeanne claimed that she could see under the man's mask and that he was a light skinned black man. Jimmy, however, said the guy was a tanned white man, around 30 years old but couldn't really see more than that due to the flashlight being blared into his face. The police continuously questioned Mary Jeannes account of the attack and they believed that the couple knew their attacker and were just covering for him. Could it have been a jilted ex of Mary Jeanne's? Is that why Jimmy was pistol whipped and she had only a minor injury? Is this why she said it was a black man instead of giving up the perpetrators real identity? The morning of Sunday, March 24th, 1946, a passing motorist saw a parked car on lovers lane, just south of the highway and decided to check if they needed help or to just be nosey. What they first believed to be two people asleep in their vehicle, turned out to be the lifeless bodies of 29 year old Richard Griffin and his girlfriend, 17 year old Polly Ann More. Richard was found shot twice, on his knees between the front seats, hands crossed, his head laying on his hands and his pockets turned inside out. Polly Ann was lying face down in the back seat with evidence suggesting they had been murdered outside of the car and then placed there. A blood soaked patch of soil and congealed blood on one of the running boards, as it appeared to have flowed out from the bottom of the car door. They were both fully clothed and both had been shot in the back of the head and a .32 caliber shell was found and investigators believed it may have been fired from a pistol wrapped in a blanket. There were no pathologist examinations of the bodies, which seems odd, but 1946 Texarkana, I guess. This didn't stop the rumors from flying around saying that Polly Ann had been sexually assaulted. These rumors were put to rest with later reports. 17 year old Paul Martin picked up his 15 year old girlfriend, Betty Jo Booker from the local VFW (The VFW or veterans of foreign wars is an establishment set up for former military personnel who had fought in wars, and expeditions on foreign land, waters, or airspace.) after a musical performance on Sunday, April 14th right around 1:30 in the morning. Later, at approximately 6:30 that morning, Paul's lifeless body was found on the side of a nearby road, lying on its left side. His body had been riddled with bullet holes through his nose, through his ribs from the back, through his right hand and one through the back of his neck. Investigators found blood on the opposite side of the road, leading them to believe that he was allegedly alive when he crossed the road, after being shot four times. Paul's girlfriend, Betty Jo was found at approximately 11:30am by a search party. Her body was lying almost 2 miles away from Paul's, hidden behind a tree. She was fully clothed, laying on her back with her right hand inside the pocket of the buttoned up overcoat she was wearing. She had been shot twice, once in the face and the other shot went through her chest. According to investigators, the weapon used was a .32 caliber Colt pistol, the same pistol type used in the first set of murders. Paul's car wasn't found near his body but instead was found 3 miles away from where his body was found. The car was sitting parked, keys in the ignition, at Spring Lake Park. The investigators couldn't determine if Paul or Betty Jo had been shot first. According to the sheriff and Captain Manuel Gonzaullas of the Texas Rangers, their investigations determined that both of the victims put up a hell of a fight. Tom Albritton, a friend of Paul's, stated that he didn't believe there was an argument between the couple and that Paul didn't have any enemies. So on Friday, May 3rd in the same year, around 9 at night, 37 year old Virgil Starks and his wife Katie were in their home, set on a 500 acre farm. Now I'm pretty sure there's a few movies based on similar events such as this one. Their home was just off the local highway, 67 East, which was about ten miles northeast of Texarkana. Virgil was sitting quietly in his armchair in the living room. He was reading some quality information from his local newspaper when suddenly, he was shot TWICE in the back of the head from a closed double window. With all the ruckus and the sound of broken glass, Katie hurriedly ran into the living room to see her husband stand up then slowly slump back into the armchair he was sitting in. She went to check on her husband, only to realize he was dead. In a panic, she quickly went to the old school style, wall-crank phone to call the police. With two rings of the phone she too was shot twice from the same damn window. This time in the face. She fell to the floor, but to the shooter's dismay, she quickly regained her footing and rushed to grab a pistol from another room. Let's just say she was a badass, am I right? With the wounds she suffered, she was blinded by her own blood, and was not able to grab the pistol she was looking for. Hearing the sound of the killer quickly approaching from the back of the house, she burst out of the front door with only her nightgown on, and ran barefoot across the street to her brother and sister-in-law's house. After trying to get someone to come to the door and being unsuccessful, she took off down the street to her neighbors house, A. V. Prater, where she was only able to let out a gasp and say “Virgil's dead”, and then she fell over and passed out. Prater proceeded to fire his rifle into the air to alert another neighbor, Elmer Taylor. Prater had Taylor grab his car so they could all take Katie to the hospital. While at the hospital, Katie was questioned by sheriff Davis. The Sheriff questioned her again about 4 days later to verify his original statement. She, the sheriff, was then able to confirm that a rumor regarding Virgil was false. This rumor was that he believed he heard a car outside their home for several nights in a row and he feared being killed prior to his murder. Some good news, though! Katie Starks did, somehow, survive her wounds. Those shots, as crazy as it sounds, did not kill or severely injure her. One bullet went through the right cheek beside the nose, emerging behind the left ear. The other bullet went in her lower jaw below the lip; breaking her jaw and splintering several teeth, where the bullet was lodged right under her tongue. Holy shit, what a strong woman! Katie lived to the ripe old age of 84. She remarried and is currently buried between both of her husbands in Hillcrest cemetery. INVESTIGATIONS: As mentioned before, the police never believed Mary Jeanne Larey's story and that she and her boyfriend knew the perpetrator. I'm not entirely sure why they would cover up the attack, but Mary Jeanne came back to the area after the first set of murders. Supposedly, she wanted to help in the investigation and link the murderer to her and her boyfriend's attacker. However, the Texas Rangers insisted that she knew who it was. Was she there to throw them off the trail? Did she just want to see what they knew? Their attack wasn't even connected to the murders until the Texarkana Gazette published their interview with Mary Jeanne. This was only when the police asked the public to come forward if they had any knowledge of the murders or any unexplained absences when the murders occured. The first set of murders launched a huge, citywide investigation. The Texas Police, Arkansas Police, The Texas Rangers (headed by the Texas Department of Public Safety, both Miller and Cass county sheriff's offices and the FBI were all involved in questioning over 200 people. Unfortunately, almost all were false leads. There were three different people with bloody clothing found, but all three were cleared. The second double murder case had the police working in 24 hour shifts, questioning everyone and bringing in potential suspects from up to 100 miles away. At one point, law enforcement attempted to set up a sting operation by asking teenagers to act as decoys in parked cars with the police patiently waiting nearby. Some police would even act as decoys with their partners or even mannequins sitting in their cars next to them. There were even a few officers that would hide in trees in Spring Lake Park in the hopes of seeing and potentially catching some nutjob doing some dirty shit. After the 3rd set of attacks and the murder of Mr. Starks and the attempted murder of Mrs. Starks, blockades were set up. Anyone driving around in the area were stopped and questioned, including several men who were hanging around. 2 days after the Starks attacks, the investigation had 47 officers involved, trying to solve the case. They even brought in a mobile radio station and a teletype machine, along with twenty additional police from Arkansas to assist in their efforts. Unofficially, law enforcement believed they had a “sex maniac” on their hands because the attacker left large amounts of money and Mrs. Starks purse in the home. Robbery was obviously not the motive. At first, the police offered a $500 reward for any new information, but this only brought in over 100 crappy leads that went nowhere. It was then bumped up to $1700, then $7,025 after the Starks attack and within the ten days following, it was up to $10,000. The police debated on whether or not the Stark's attack was even related to the other crimes, due to the type of weapon that was used. The sheriff believed it was a .22 caliber rifle as opposed to a .32 caliber pistol. Eventually, law enforcement stated that the Stark's attack was NOT related to the other two double murders. Obviously, the public was scared shitless. Without even knowing about the first set of attacks, the fact that two teenagers that were involved with the church had been murdered, sent the town into a frenzy, calling the killer “The Phantom.” Where once there were unlocked homes, the townspeople began locking their doors, arming themselves, nailing sheets over their windows, nailing windows completely down and using makeshift window guards. They set up curfews for businesses to attempt to keep people from going out at night but as the news of Virgil Starks, being murdered, especially in his own home, attached itself to the horrific story, it was all over the news in and around the surrounding areas. Stores ran out of guns, ammo, locks, window shades and blinds and the search for guard dogs increased. News outlets even stated that “the killer might strike again at any moment, at any place, and at anyone.” With its heightened sense of alert and everyone toting guns, Texarkana, once easy going and peaceful, became an area of danger. It was so bad that when the police would answer calls or check on disturbances, they had to turn on their sirens, stand in front of the headlights and yell “HEY! IT'S THE FUZZ!” so they wouldn't be shot at by some scared, nervous homeowner. This was only exacerbated when Texas Ranger Gonzaullas told “oil up their guns and see if they are loaded” and to “not hesitate” if people were inclined to bust a cap in someone's suspicious ass. Gun sales and fear reached other cities, as well, including Oklahoma City, some 5 hours away. Luckily, the people's concern diminished after about 3 months, with no other attacks happening, in that time. Of course the rumors of the murderer being caught, being held in the county jail or sent off to another jail were flying around and the Texas Rangers had to hold a press conference to tell everyone to shut the fuck up because those rumors were making their investigation that much more difficult. Stating the rumors were “a hindrance to the investigation and harmful to innocent persons.”, the same press conference informed the folks around town that the murderer had NOT been caught, despite the rumors suggesting otherwise. Gonzaullas also said “Rumors only take the officers from the main route of the investigation. It is so important that we capture this man that we cannot afford to overlook any lead, no matter how fantastic it may seem.” This was mainly because a lot of innocent people were accused of being “The Phantom.” Then there were the vigilantes. Teenagers sitting in parked cars HOPING to catch the criminal. One instance had a couple of police officers walk up on a parked car with a couple inside and as the officers announced who they were, a girl inside said “It's a good thing you told me who you are,” as she showed them the .25 caliber pistol she had pointed at them. Texas Ranger Gonzaullas gave a statement to the Gazette, telling people that vigilantism was “a good way to get killed.” SUSPECTS The “Phantom”, as he was dubbed by the Texarkana Daily News and was continuously called by other news outlets at the time, was described as being around 6 feet tall, wearing a white mask with eye and mouth holes cut out. However, the first attack, where the police were weary of their conflicting statements, was the only time a description was able to be given of the perpetrator. He attacked late at night, on the weekends, focused on young couples, took a 3 week cooling off period and used a .32 caliber pistol. Even though they came out and officially said that the Stark's attack wasn't affiliated with the “Phantom Murders”, due to the type of gun used, a lot of law enforcement and citizens believed it was. Texas Ranger Gonzaullas believed the murderer was a “shrewd criminal who had left no stone unturned to conceal his identity and activities,” was a “cunning individual who would go to all lengths to avoid apprehension” and that his attacks were clever and baffling. Sheriff Presley stated, “This killer is the luckiest person I have ever known. No one sees him, hears him in time, or can identify him in any way." A psychologist at the Federal Correctional Institution in Texarkana, Dr. Anthony Lapalla, believed that the one person committed all five murders and that he was planning on killing people the way he murdered Virgil Starks. In their homes with no one to stop him. He also believed he was motivated by a strong sex drive and sadism. His shift from the parked cars on the dark and desolate roads to the farmhouse of the Starks also leads Lapalla to believe that the killer was smart enough to know that he had to change his behavior. He also stated that there was evidence of “deep planning, that he worked alone, told no one of his crimes and could shift his crimes to a distant community or overcome the desire to assault and kill people.” However, this dickhead is the same person that said he didn't believe the murderer was a black man because… AND I QUOTE… “In general, negro criminals are not that clever.” What the fuck. Almost 400 suspects were arrested throughout this case. Of course there were a shit ton of false confessions. There were at least nine people who confessed to being the Phantom, but their shit didn't line up with the facts of the case. In the first attack case where no one was murdered, no suspects were ever apprehended. Remember, that's the one where law enforcement believed the victims were covering for someone. Ok, let's talk about Youell Swinney According to Wikipedia Youell Swinney was a 29-year-old car thief and counterfeiter. He was arrested in July by Tackett, who was investigating car thefts after realizing that on the night of the Griffin-Moore murders a car had been stolen in the area and a previously stolen car had been found abandoned. Tackett was able to locate the former car and arrested Swinney's wife Peggy when she came to retrieve it. Peggy confessed in great detail that Swinney was the Phantom Killer and had killed Booker and Martin. Her story changed in some details across several interviews, and police believed she was withholding information due to fear of Swinney or of incriminating herself. Police were able to independently verify some details of Peggy's confession, such as the location of a victim's possessions where she said Youell had discarded them. There was considerable circumstantial evidence against Swinney, but Peggy's confession was the most critical part of the case. However, Peggy recanted her confession, was considered an unreliable witness, and could not be compelled to testify against her husband. Law enforcement officers worked for six months trying to validate Peggy's confession and tie Swinney to the murders. They found that on the night of the Booker-Martin murders, the Swinneys were sleeping in their car under a bridge near San Antonio. Swinney was never charged with murder and was instead tried and imprisoned as a habitual offender for car theft. Presley reported in his 2014 book that investigators in the Swinney case later said that the sentence was effectively a plea bargain, though the case files indicated no formal agreement. Swinney was apparently concerned about being sentenced to death for the murders, so agreed to not contest the habitual offender charge and in fact tried to plead guilty despite the charge requiring a jury trial. H. B. "Doodie" Tennison Henry Booker "Doodie" Tennison was an 18-year-old university freshman who died by suicide on November 4, 1948, leaving behind cryptic instructions which directed investigators to a suicide note in which Tennison confessed to the Booker, Martin, and Starks murders. He had played trombone in the same high-school band as Booker, but they were not friends. Investigators were unable to find any other evidence linking Tennison to the murders. James Freeman, a friend of Tennison, provided an alibi for the night of the Starks murder, stating that they had been playing cards that evening when they heard the news of the attack. Ralph B. Baumann Ralph B. Baumann, a 21-year-old ex-Army Air Force (AAF) machine-gunner, claimed to have awoken from a fugue state of several weeks on the day of the Starks murder, with his rifle missing. He said that he heard about a suspect matching his description and hitchhiked to Los Angeles, feeling like he was running from murder. On May 23, he told Los Angeles police that he thought he might be the Phantom. "I'm my own suspect," he said. Police arrested him but Gonzaullas stated that several parts of the man's story had little basis in fact. Baumann said that he'd been discharged from the AAF for being a psychoneurotic, and he had previously confessed to killing three people in Texarkana in a period of three days (which did not match the timeline of killings). Saxophone peddler Investigators had hoped that Booker's saxophone, which she had played the night of her murder and which was missing, might lead them to a suspect. On April 27, a suspicious man was arrested in Corpus Christi, Texas, for trying to sell a saxophone to a music store. He had asked about selling the instrument to the store but became evasive and fled from the store manager." Although no saxophone was found in his possession, the police found a bag of bloody clothing in his hotel room. After several days of questioning,the man was cleared as a suspect. Booker's saxophone was located on October 24, six months after her murder, in underbrush near the place her body had been found. German prisoner of war On May 8, it was announced that an escaped German prisoner of war—who was already being hunted as "a matter of routine"—was considered a suspect. He was described as a stocky 24-year-old, weighing 187 pounds (85 kg), with brown hair and blue eyes. He had stolen a car in Mount Ida, Arkansas, and attempted to buy ammunition in several eastern Oklahoma towns. The police kept searching for the POW, but it was said that he had "vanished into thin air." Unknown hitchhiker On May 7, a hitchhiker armed with a pistol carjacked and robbed a man, threatening to kill him and stating that he had killed five people in Texarkana, naming Martin and Booker. The hitchhiker went on to say that he was not finished killing people. Gonzaullas said that police were doubtful that this man was the Phantom Killer, noting that the killer had gone to lengths to conceal his identity while the hitchhiker boasted to a living witness. Atoka County suspect On May 10, in Atoka, Oklahoma, a man assaulted a woman in her home, ranting that he might as well kill her because he had already killed three or four people, and that he was going to rape her. He then fled. A widespread search for the man included 20 officers and 160 residents. Two days later, police arrested a suspect but did not believe this man was the Phantom. According to the man's story, he could not have been in Texarkana at the time of the Starks murder. Sammie Sammie is a pseudonym given to a longtime Texarkana resident with a good reputation whom the police were reluctant to name as a suspect. His vehicle's tire tracks were found across the road from Martin's corpse. He failed a polygraph test so the police decided to have him hypnotized by psychiatrist Travis Elliott. Elliott concluded that Sammie had no criminal tendencies, that he had pulled his vehicle to the side of the road in order to urinate, and that he subsequently visited a married woman with whom he was having an affair—concealing this caused Sammie to fail the polygraph test. After police verified the details, they cleared Sammie as a suspect. Taxi driver A taxi driver became a major suspect in the Booker-Marin murders because his cab was seen in the vicinity of the crime scene that morning, but he was soon cleared. Earl McSpadden On May 7, at approximately 6 a.m., the body of Earl Cliff McSpadden was found on the Kansas City Southern Railway tracks 16 miles (26 km) north of Texarkana, near Ogden. The body's left arm and leg had been severed by a freight train a half-hour earlier. The coroner's jury's verdict stated, "death at the hands of persons unknown", and that "he was dead before being placed on the railroad tracks." Because the murder is unsolved, locals have speculated that McSpadden was the Phantom's sixth victim. A prominent rumor exists claiming that McSpadden was the Phantom, and had committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. The Texarkana Moonlight Murders are, to this day, still unsolved. https://screenrant.com/best-small-town-thrillers/ SUPPORT THE SHOW www.patreon.com/themidnighttrainpodcast
After five years on the football team at Clemson, Will Swinney joins the podcast to talk about adjusting to the real world. For now that entails pursuing his MBA and working as an intern for a Greenville real-estate firm. Swinney has vivid memories of some of the key junctures over the last 15 years. Including 2006, when his dad came home and told his family he was going to give up coaching (his sons talked him out of it). Including 2007, when Nick Saban called offering his father a job and Will begged him not to take it. Including that day in 2008 when Tommy Bowden was out and Dabo Swinney was in. "The next day I walk into my fourth-grade class and everyone is staring at me," he said. Including that day in January of 2011 when his father made changes to his staff and Will realized he had to say goodbye to some of his good friends. Will has been with his father through it all, including on recruiting trips and on the sideline from 2009 to 2016 when he was responsible for keeping the "Touch Chart," which tabulated the touches for the team's best offensive playmakers and made sure they were getting the ball enough (it started in 2009 when Dabo was determined to give C.J. Spiller the ball as much as possible). Will grew up closely following recruiting and all coverage and commentary on Clemson football, which meant he had to learn how to handle criticism and outright meanness on message boards. Will says the angriest his father ever was with him was when he was in kindergarten and decided to dial 911. "That was a pretty bad whooping," he said. Will said his favorite season of all was 2021 when the Tigers won six straight games to reach 10 wins for the 11th consecutive season.
Michael Mankaka is a 2022 Clemson Football wide receiver commit who looks to make a big impact with the team. Matson Montilla and Mankaka talk about Mankaka's recruitment process, his first interactions with Coach Swinney, his work ethic and much more.
