John Swinney's dubious claim that independence is “within reach” is a sign of weakness, says the Daily Record's Paul Huctheon. Defeat at the recent Holyrood by-election has led to bizarre calls for Swinney to quit and the mutterings about the lack of a plan to deliver independence grew louder, so the First Minister has doubled down on his aims and ideas for independence.

The Scottish government wants everyone to know it does not plan to ban cats. First Minister John Swinney was forced to issue the statement after a report by independent experts branded felines a threat to Scotland's wildlife and suggested "containment" measures be considered to reduce the damage. The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission said cats kill at least 700 million birds and other animals each year in the U.K. It advised the government to consider a range of measures, including keeping domestic cats indoors or on leashes, to protect endangered species such as Scottish wildcats. The report said "cat containment" measures could also include "restrictions on introducing cats to households in vulnerable areas"—interpreted by some as effectively a ban. The Scottish government said it would "fully consider" the recommendations. In a nation of animal lovers, the suggestions spawned alarming headlines. The Daily Mail reported: "Fury as households in Scotland could be banned from getting a pet cat." The Scottish Daily Express branded the idea a "madcap scheme." Swinney, who heads Scotland's semi-autonomous Edinburgh-based government, spoke to journalists to defend the administration's pro-feline credentials. "Let me just clear this up today," he said. "The government's not going to be banning cats or restricting cats. We've no intention of doing so and we will not be doing it." Cats Protection, the U.K.'s biggest cat charity, gave the idea of draconian containment measures short shrift, saying, "Pragmatic solutions like keeping cats indoors at dawn and dusk can balance the needs of domestic cats and wild animals." "Scotland is a nation of cat lovers," said Alice Palombo, the charity's advocacy and government relations officer for Scotland, with almost a quarter of households owning a feline pet. "Cats are great pets for all sorts of reasons, whether it's providing companionship for elderly people or those living alone, comfort for people with health conditions or helping children learn important lessons in caring for others," she said. "We believe everyone who is able to care for a cat should be able to enjoy these benefits." This article was provided by The Associated Press.

The Tigers will play one, even if a lot of other schools are cancelling or modifying theirs. Swinney said a spring game won't increase tampering with his players (it'll happen anyway). So why are so many other coaches so worried? Andy has some thoughts. Earlier this week, Ari unveiled what he believes will be the biggest storylines of the 2025 season. But what will be the BIGGEST story of the year? Arch Manning taking over as QB1 at Texas? Will Oklahoma be back? Can Ohio State overcome its Michigan problem? Andy has a few suggestions as well…  Watch us on YouTube! https://youtube.com/live/6bwP-S4zqa4 Hosts: Andy Staples, Ari WassermanProducer: River Bailey

Mike Noonan doesn't sugarcoat where he thinks college athletics is headed. "Buckle up and hold on tight, because we're going to go through a hurricane," he said. Noonan, who has led Clemson to two national titles in men's soccer, is privy to major changes taking shape in the college game. "We've made about five different attempts to become a two-semester sport, and modernize the sport, but we have hit roadblocks in the NCAA bureaucracy every time," he said. "So with all the changes going on with college athletics, and there's been a number of changes in the governing body at U.S. Soccer ... we re-engaged in conversations with them. "There was a pilot program put forward, similar to the College Football Playoff. We're not leaving the NCAA, but we would play over two semesters and there'd be a national tournament sponsored by U.S. Soccer at the end of the spring portion of our season. The national governing body would pay for the championship, and we would be able to progress our game in a way that we haven't been able to."  Noonan said athletics directors have been in "great discussions" with U.S. Soccer about adopting the pilot program for the 2026-27 year. He said there are different championship models that feature 36 teams, 48 teams and even 72 teams. "We all feel favorable that it's going to happen. It will be a big change." Noonan also shares how, a few years into his Clemson tenure, he significantly changed his recruiting model. "When we got here we were in a position where we had to just look for talent. And talent without character is a recipe for disaster." Noonan consulted a familiar name as he constructed his new model: One Dabo Swinney. Swinney's advice to Noonan: It's not what works everywhere; it's what works at Clemson. "That flipped a switch for me," Noonan said. "We came up with 10 recruiting criteria and decided we were going to recruit to them. And any player that we were going to let come into our program was going to have to tick seven of those criteria."

In Part 2 of our Best of 2024 podcast, we revisit some of the more memorable excerpts from our interviews over the past year: -- Thomas Austin, on what it's like to deal with being fired by Dabo Swinney. In 2008, Austin was an offensive lineman on the team that helped Swinney secure the head-coaching job with a victory over South Carolina. Swinney even rode on Austin's shoulders to midfield that day to shake the hand of Steve Spurrier. -- Otis Pickett, on returning to his alma mater from Mississippi to be the historian of Clemson University. A significant part of Pickett's mission is introducing and framing the public conversation on Clemson's past, which includes difficult and complicated topics on race. -- Cliff Ellis, former Clemson basketball coach, shares numerous stories about his musical career. Had he not chosen coaching, Ellis could've easily spent his life as a professional musician. In the mid-1960s, his group The Villagers was a sensation and even recorded at the legendary Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Ala. Ellis remembers joining Roy Orbison on stage at a sold-out concert in Dothan, Ala. "If you can perform in front of people with Roy Orbison behind you, you're going to be OK going up against Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski," he said. -- Tommy West looks back to a totally different time for Clemson football in the 1990s when the Tigers didn't have any facilities to speak of and were so behind on that front that he once tried to stage an August practice at a local livestock arena.      

Scotland's First Minister and SNP leader John Swinney sits down with Podlitical. The First Minister talks about becoming SNP leader right before the UK general election was called, how he worried his party faced a wipeout when the polls closed, and how he believed he was "the only person on the planet who could turn it around" for the SNP following a bruising period under former First Minister Humza Yousaf. Swinney talks about the realisation he'd entered a "government bubble", why he believes the SNP is back on the front foot post-Scottish budget, and how he wants to make Scottish independence a "compelling proposition".For a range of political interviews, subscribe to Podlitical on BBC Sounds.

Thirteen days ago, Roy Philpott got the assignment of his dreams from ESPN: South Carolina at Clemson, Nov. 30. Philpott, a Clemson graduate who spent many years in the area working in various media capacities covering the Tigers, joins The Dubcast to reflect on a wild afternoon at Death Valley and what it meant for both teams. There were so many twists and turns late in the game that Philpott walked away from the stadium asking himself if he did justice to the game, its stakes, and the extraordinary show put on by Gamecock freshman LaNorris Sellers. Philpott spent quite a lot of time with Dabo Swinney and a few other staff members the day before the game. What were his takeaways? What does he think about Swinney's ability to adapt to a rapidly changing collegiate model enough to get Clemson back to the top of the mountain? Philpott's normally busy schedule is about to get even crazier with the overlap of college football and college basketball. He still lives in the Upstate and has no desire to leave.

Since Peter and Miranda Harris co-founded A Rocha in 1983, it has grown into an international family of Christian conservation organisations. After Miranda's tragic death in 2019, their daughter Jo found her mother's diaries in which she described the beginnings of A Rocha in their home in Portugal at which there was always ‘A Place at the Table'. These stories became the inspiration for Jo's recent book which explores the transformative way in which sharing food is at the heart of a shared life. This talk will be a conversation around the theme of the book, and of A Rocha, and how they may resonate with L'Abri's own calling.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org. The library contains over two thousand lectures and discussions that explore questions about the reality and relevance of Christianity.

In 2006, Patricia Watkins thought her son was going to play college football for the Florida Gators. She had never even heard of Clemson when CJ Spiller traveled for a visit there that changed his life, and their lives. Last week, Watkins was a part of Spiller's entourage on the field at Death Valley when he was inducted into Clemson's Ring of Honor. It brought tears to her eyes because the first thing she thought of was when CJ tried to join a youth football team as a 6-year-old and was told he was too young (he spent that season as the water boy instead). CJ bawled his eyes out that day when told he couldn't play. He was crying again last Saturday, but they were tears of joy and gratitude. Watkins joins The Dubcast to reflect on the journey since Spiller's recruitment when she first heard the name Dabo Swinney. Swinney, then the receivers coach, was the key figure in convincing Spiller that Clemson was the place for him. And then a year later, Swinney was again the catalyst in convincing Spiller to remain at Clemson after he'd made up his mind he was going back home and transferring to Florida to join Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow and Percy Harvin. The mother of the most important recruit in Clemson football history opens up about her story, and their story.    

David Hale of ESPN has a fascinating, tumultuous relationship with Dabo Swinney dating back nine years when Swinney's nuclear response to a Hale question about "Clemsoning" went viral. Hale joins the podcast to share what that relationship has been like in recent years as he communicates with Swinney both in press conferences and in more informal settings. In a transformative time for college athletics, Hale has visited with numerous athletics directors to try to get a sense of how they might adjust to the advent of revenue sharing with athletes. Is it naive to think a more regulated, policed NIL is actually going to work? And what of the ACC as its profile falls even further behind in the shadow of an expanded SEC and Big Ten? What's the best move for Clemson and Florida State? Stay in the ACC in exchange for more money and a reduced Grant of Rights agreement? Or continue fighting like hell to get out because they can't afford falling into obscurity over the next 5-6 seasons? Lots of questions and few concrete answers. But Hale possesses a smarter and more informed grasp of the big picture than most anyone out there.

Brad Scott has retired from football and is now back in Clemson enjoying the grandad and golf life. Jeff Scott is fully immersed in his custom homebuilding business and out of football for a second consecutive season. In other words, father and son have time to sit back and tell stories from their decades in college football that included epic runs at Clemson and Florida State. Brad remembers going out to dinner with Dabo Swinney in Clemson when Swinney was interviewing with Tommy Bowden for a job coaching receivers in the spring of 2003. When Swinney landed a blockbuster recruiting class in 2011 after a 6-7 season, Brad was the major figure in the signings of Sammy Watkins, Martavis Bryant and Mike Bellamy. He remembers the NCAA coming to campus to ask him questions after people wondered how Clemson could sign so many high-profile players after a disappointing season. Brad also shares a story from 1986 when he was on Bobby Bowden's staff at FSU and Bowden called. "Brad, I'm going to Alabama and taking you with me," Bobby told him over the phone. Bowden ended up backing out of the job after accepting it. Jeff shares a recollection from 1998, three days after South Carolina fired his father as head coach. Tommy Bowden had taken over at Clemson and offered Brad a spot as tight ends coach. Brad took the job, and soon thereafter Jeff was wearing a Clemson cap when he ran into former Gamecock quarterback Steve Taneyhill. Taneyhill thought Jeff was just bitter and wearing the hat out of spite. "Steve," Jeff told him. "We're really going to Clemson. My dad just got a job coaching tight ends."

We present the full audio from the media's visit with Matt Luke and Chris Rumph last week. Dabo Swinney made a major splash last December -- one his skeptics didn't think he'd make -- by parting with Thomas Austin and Lemanski Hall. Much like with the Brandon Streeter-Garrett Riley transition, Swinney probably wasn't going to make a change if he couldn't land a big fish. Luke and Rumph qualified as big fish, and from all accounts they are bringing a different dynamic to the football building and practice fields with their authority, command and demand for physical and mental toughness.
