Week 3 Fabris Pool Results: Winning the Middle 8

I’m sure most of you have heard about the importance coaches place on “winning the middle 8” minutes of games. The likelihood a team wins the game increases if they can outscore the opponent in the last 4 minutes of the first half and the first 4 minutes of the second.

What does this have to do with our Fabris Pool, you ask?*

To wit:

Your humble commish went O-fer the 3:30 slots, smack dab in the all-important middle of the Week 3 slate, stumbling out of the nooners to boot. Kirby would be most disappointed.

On (another) personal note, UGA frosh Dawgliciousette #2, took advantage of the away game to visit the Flats to hate-watch Tech and Clemson for her old man. First texts we exchanged while she was at the game:

I have raised her well, to be observant of her surroundings, and she left at halftime. Proud dad!

On to the results!

Moving on to Week 4 and the off week. First chance to knock out those fall honey-dos, y’all. **

Games go up Monday, we know not the hour.

Your humble commish,

Dawglicious

**Yeah, right

Transfer portal? Forget it, Dabo’s rolling…

I’ll give him credit, he’s holding fast to traditional head coach practices…he’s living by the creed of “dance with the date that brought you”. Perhaps Dabo is hoping that the NIL is just a temporary thing, or that the proper counter to a new and evolving practice in college sports is a stable and traditional practice, tried and true…or at least it was a few years back.

That brings me to this:

If Dabo loses in the Kickoff Classic, and the rest of the season is a failure, by Clemson’s standards…is he on the hot seat?

Specifically, are any of the old-school recruiters on the hot seat? Who? Brian Kelly just ranted about development and being against the NIL era.

Do the evolution, baby…or go the way of the coaching Dodo?
