Two Tigers programs we don’t particularly like spent Saturday night reminding everyone why we’re glad we’re not them. One of them hired a guy who hops jobs like it’s Tinder and somehow still gets treated like a genius. Creepy Lane got his highlight-reel debut. Clemson got the participation trophy and a long flight home.
