Jarrett Ferguson adds Mason Baggett to S&C staff

He will be the associate director of strength and conditioning with nearly 20 years of experience in the field.

He was a Hokie from 2002-2006.

The part of his background I found most interesting was his time at Camp Lejeune training Marines Special Operators.

Bowen Hired to be Ohio State OL Coach

Saw a report that Tyler Bowen has been hired as the OL Coach at an Ohio State, will try to get the tweet to embed. Would be a tough blow this late in the cycle and further perpetuates the money gap if our OC is being poached to be a position coach.

2025 Ticket Exchange Thread

All, with the schedule being released, and a unique situation for me personally that I will post in the comments, I thought I'd get the 2025 Ticket Exchange Thread going:

Per TKP Staff in prior years:

List extra tickets you're looking to offload, or inquire about tickets you need. Do not post any tickets above face value. Understand that Orange and Maroon Media, LLC is exempt from any liability from transactions that are initiated here, and will not assist in brokering any transactions.

The best way to exchange email addresses is to encode them, for example: foo [AT] bar (dot) com.

Threads with tickets for sale found elsewhere will be deleted without warning.

Notre Dame expected to play at least two of Clemson, Miami and FSU each season as part of new ACC/ESPN deal.

ESPN is exercising its option to extend its television rights contract with the Atlantic Coast Conference β€” which initially ran until 2027 β€” through 2036, Dellenger reported Thursday morning. Part of that extension, per Dellenger, stipulates that the Irish will face the traditional football powers of the ACC more often.

The league's biggest brands β€” Florida State, Miami and Clemson β€” are expected to play more football games regularly with Notre Dame," Dellenger wrote. "The Irish are expected to play, at the very least, two of the three each season in a rotation.

Shock: Another Eligibility Lawsuit

A Wisconsin DB Nyzier Fourqurean is now suing the NCAA claiming because he played at DII Grand Valley State, he deserves extended eligibility.

This is quoted directly from the Lawsuit:

"Preventing college student-athletes like plaintiff that attended Division II schools from competing in a third and fourth year of NCAA Division I football due to prior attendance at a Division II school, therefore limiting their economic opportunities to participate in the NIL marketplace available to Division I athletes, and otherwise unreasonably restrain competition in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act,"

Initial Guess on How the 2025 Defense will look...

Three man down linemen, with a nose, a 3 tech to the side of the jack LB and a five/seven tech to the WILL linebacker side. I expect the nose to be Gilliam/Priester/Copeland, with Nash, Copeland, and Laws at the 3 tech and Burgos, Stevens, and Abbey at the field side DE.

Jack linebacker is a hybrid stand up DE/LB, standing up on the edge ala Fred Dean, Rickey Jackson, Bryce Paup, Kevin Greene, etc. Bell and Djonkman fit that mold, and Stevens, as a former LB, could play it as well.

Mike is alone between the tackles. Woodson I think gets that spot. He still has to fit, but has to move laterally and step into the hole.

EDIT: Hokie Transfer Pickup in Legal "Hot Water"

Link Here

EDIT: Didn't realize it was behind a paywall - Flea of Red Hot Chilli Peppers' favorite Virginia Tech transfer pickup (probably), who happens to share the same initials as a beleaguered Hokie football administrator, is in a little legal "hot water" involving jazz grass.
