ab170190 - Mouse monoclonal IgG1, is suitable for use as an isotype control with this antibody.
FunctionSerine/threonine-protein kinase that performs several important functions throughout M phase of the cell cycle, including the regulation of centrosome maturation and spindle assembly, the removal of cohesins from chromosome arms, the inactivation of APC/C inhibitors, and the regulation of mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Required for recovery after DNA damage checkpoint and entry into mitosis. Required for kinetochore localization of BUB1B. Phosphorylates SGOL1. Required for spindle pole localization of isoform 3 of SGOL1 and plays a role in regulating its centriole cohesion function. Phosphorylates BORA, and thereby promotes the degradation of BORA. Contributes to the regulation of AURKA function. Regulates TP53 stability through phosphorylation of TOPORS.
Tissue specificityPlacenta and colon.
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. CDC5/Polo subfamily.
Contains 2 POLO box domains.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
Developmental stageAccumulates to a maximum during the G2 and M phases, declines to a nearly undetectable level following mitosis and throughout G1 phase, and then begins to accumulate again during S phase.
modificationsCatalytic activity is enhanced by phosphorylation of Thr-210. Phosphorylation at Thr-210 is first detected on centrosomes in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, peaks in prometaphase and gradually disappears from centrosomes during anaphase.
Autophosphorylation and phosphorylation of Ser-137 may not be significant for the activation of PLK1 during mitosis, but may enhance catalytic activity during recovery after DNA damage checkpoint.
Ubiquitinated by the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C) in anaphase and following DNA damage, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. Ubiquitination is mediated via its interaction with FZR1/CDH1. Ubiquitination and subsequent degradation prevents entry into mitosis and is essential to maintain an efficient G2 DNA damage checkpoint.
Cellular localizationNucleus. Chromosome > centromere > kinetochore. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton > centrosome. During early stages of mitosis, the phosphorylated form is detected on centrosomes and kinetochores. Localizes to the outer kinetochore. Presence of SGOL1 and interaction with the phosphorylated form of BUB1 is required for the kinetochore localization.

Develop A Sense Of Agency Before You Try Something New In Your Life
Getting ready to try something new in your life or work?
Maybe you are starting a new business, applying for a promotion at work, putting yourself into the job market, or taking a stab at on-line dating (no pun intended). Whatever you are attempting to do that is new is a sign of hope. Hope is a good "starter" emotion. Hope is defined as: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen. We need a little hope to get started. But, as some wise unknown author once said, "Hope is not a strategy."
The opposite end of the emotional spectrum, when it comes to getting ourselves to try new things, is desperation. You might think it is hopelessness—but it's way worse than that. Desperation is defined as: a state of despair, typically one which results in rash or extreme behavior.
In the words of Jimmy Fallon, "Ew!"
On both extremes, our brains are hijacked by the emotion and not doing much to help us succeed.
If we have only hope and a global sense of optimism with nothing to back it up, then we are fooling ourselves.
On the other extreme, if we are feeling desperate, then we are likely behaving in a desperate manner (unconsciously), which actually repels other humans. This often results in a rejection that only adds to our feeling of desperation.
So, what can be done?
The goal is to move away from the extremes and toward a sense of AGENCY. If you can tolerate one more definition, this is a good one: action or intervention, especially such as to produce a particular effect. Agency is my favorite new word.
With hope, you will want to use agency to harvest that hope into action. Ask yourself what your intentions are and what concrete things you can do to increase your chances of success in the new area you are exploring. Let hope motivate you into action.
On the other hand, when you have that awful feeling of panic and desperation, you want to move toward agency and contain the desperation. It's okay to feel desperate—we have all been there. But stay away from people and let your desperation have its moment—then move into action. Ask yourself what you can do to gain some easy wins while you get yourself back to a more empowered state of mind.
"You are free to choose what you want to make of your life. It's called free agency or free will, and it's your birthright." Sean Covey

Parasites are one of the leading health issues that our pets face. Depending on the region that you live in, the risk of contracting certain parasites may be much greater than in other parts of the country. Some pet owners worry about the dangers of parasite preventatives, the cost associated with these products and/or how frequently they should use them on their pets.
In this podcast episode, I'm speaking with Dr. Craig Prior, a certified veterinarian who sits on the board of the Companion Animal Parasite Council. He's sharing some very helpful information on the most common parasites found in companion animals and what we can do to prevent our pets from contracting them.

text: Voltage references and linear regulators have much in common. In fact, the latter could be functionally described as a reference circuit, but with greater current (or power) output. Accordingly, almost all of the specifications of the two circuit types have great commonality (even though the performance of references is usually tighter with regard to drift, accuracy, etc.). In many cases today the support circuitry is included in the converter package. This is advantageous to the designer since it simplifies the design process and guarantees performance of the system.

Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) is creating the most technologically advanced payment system ever at Rio 2016, in celebration of its 30-year partnership with the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The world's leading payments network will send its largest Team Visa group of athletes to an Olympic Games, including refugee athletes competing under the Olympic flag. Visa will also explore new ways to engage and entertain fans using a range of live social media activities throughout the Games.
Team Visa
Since 2000, Visa has supported more than 300 Olympic Athletes through the Team Visa programme, providing these athletes with the tools, resources and support they need to achieve success. This year, for Rio 2016, Team Visa is the largest and most diverse it has ever been, with 60 athletes and two coaches. Team Visa includes:
- 21 countries represented, plus refugee Olympians
- 25 sports represented
Refugee Athletes
Inclusion and acceptance are at the heart of Olympic values and, in recognition of these ideals, the International Olympic Committee has given 10 refugee athletes a chance to compete in Rio 2016. Visa is supporting these 10 athletes – as well as partnering with two coaches – from South Sudan, Syria, Congo and Ethiopia, who will compete under the Olympic flag in track and field, swimming and judo.
Kevin Jenkins, Managing Director for the UK and Ireland, said: "The bravery and determination of these refugee athletes is truly inspiring. Every one of them has overcome overwhelming odds to be in a position to compete on the world's stage. We are proud to work alongside the International Olympic Committee to provide partnership and to support these athletes."
Innovative Wearable Payment Technologies
Visa is creating the most technologically advanced payment system ever at an Olympic Games. With approximately 4,000 NFC-enabled POS terminals implemented across key Olympic venues, fans and athletes alike can benefit from a host of new payment options at Rio 2016, including:
- Team GB Payment Band: Visa has teamed up with Team GB and Barclaycard to produce a Team GB branded payment band, distributed to each member of the team. The bPay enabled band can be used at the 4,000 NFC-enabled POS terminals at the Olympic venues, as well as at contactless payment terminals worldwide
- The Swatch Bellamy Watch: Visa partnered with Swatch to design and power the first-ever contactless payment watch available to consumers in Brazil, which can be purchased in Olympic retail outlets at the Games
- The Visa Payment Ring: All 60 Team Visa athletes attending the Games will be presented with the first-ever passive, NFC-enabled, tokenised wearable, one of Visa's latest innovations
- The PulseiraBradesco Payment Band: Developed by Visa in association with Brazilian bank, Bradesco, the band is adjustable, sweat and water-resistant and can be used throughout the Olympic venues. The bands will be distributed to 3,000 select fans, employees and attendees

Demonstrations show Garden Club of London's strengths
The Byrds turned "to everything there is a season" from Ecclesiastes into a hit song. The Garden Club of London is riffing on the verse as the theme of its annual show. Called "The Garden a time for . . .," it takes place May 4-5 at the Civic Garden Centre. The club offers design and horticulture competitions, demonstrations, herbs for sale and a tea room.
Each of the competition classes focuses on a time. For example, the design class using a hat is A Time for Whimsy and the water class is A Time for Reflection.
"You try to match the type of design with the name of the class," said Sandy Wilson, co-chair. "A Time for Opulence is the name of the modern mass (staged on a round pedestal) because modern mass is done in such a way that it can be quite opulent."
Linda Hawker, co-chair, said, "It's very innovative."
A committee of members determines the design schedule, horticulture schedule, chooses a colour for props and manages the staging. "The flower show is basically convened by a group of design and horticulture judges in the club," said Wilson. "There are 16 judges and five judges emeritae. They all help."
This year's pedestals and table cloths will be painted Sherwood Green, Benjamin Moore HC-118. Another member, Maria Murillo-Furlonger, created the floral spray on promotional materials. She incorporated a sundial to convey the theme.
The Garden Club of London was formed in 1951 and has 145 members.
"If you're interested in floral design and horticulture, it's good," said Hawker, adding the emphasis is on design.
Anyone who wants to nurture that interest can check out the demonstrations and classes at the show.
"All the demonstrations show the individual things the Garden Club does," said Wilson. On May 4, the horticulture department offers "keep calm and grow on" and studio presents nature's DIY crafts.
Hawker and her granddaughter Jaime Schram, 12, demonstrate DIY floral designs for the home.
"It's what we do in studio for the fall boutique," said Hawker. Each fourth Saturday in November, the club sells horticultural designs, herbs, preserves and other items such as seasonal decor, using natural materials.
"I've been bringing Jaime to the club and she helps with the boutique. A number of members bring their grandkids."
On Sunday, the workshops include: a place to discover, observe and relax; tips for herb planters; and joy through floral therapy, which is part of the club's outreach program at Parkwood Hospital.
As well as highlighting their programs through the workshops, including the woodlands outside the Civic Centre, the Garden Club showcases the results of courses given throughout the year.
"Everything we are trying to do is done through workshops," said Wilson. Some of the competition classes filled up quickly, reflecting the popularity of courses. "The small design (A Time for Mystery) is popular. This year the floor design (A Time for Imagination) filled quickly as well as exhibition table Type 2, that is a table set with plates, but it is not functional."
Visitors also have favourites. "We choose what was successful in the past, what people enjoy," said Hawker. "They all like miniatures."
Awards are given by a panel of judges for best in show, most creative, most dramatic, best use of colour, best novice, best special exhibit, best house plant, elegance and beauty and judges' choice in design and horticulture. They are based on international world show rules. Visitors cast a ballot for peoples' choice.
About 700 attend the annual two-day show.
"When you walk in and see the designs themselves and the beauty of it," said Hawker. "People who have never been before say, 'Oh, this is beautiful.' They're taken aback a bit."
"With all the cut flowers and horticulture section, it gives you a welcome to spring after the winter we had," said Wilson. "You can revel in the flowers nature produces."
Visitors also can enjoy the tea room between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day. Anyone interested in becoming a member can join at the show or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
"We welcome all new members," said Hawker, who is the membership secretary.
Both Wilson and Hawker invite people to take time for The Garden, a time for…
"Come and experience it," said Hawker.
Garden Club of London
Formed more than 65 years ago, the club provides individual and community enrichment through floral and horticultural design opportunities. Members take courses, compete in floral shows such as Canada Blooms and the Chelsea Flower Show in England, as well as at the Western Fair and Royal Botanical Gardens.
They also give demonstrations for community groups and provide instruction in design at Parkwood Hospital. As judges, they adjudicate flower shows locally and internationally.
Their stewardship can be seen throughout the city. Since 1992, the Garden Club has managed and maintained the woodland restoration project in Springbank Park with native trees and plants and pathways. They donated to the city to construct the Civic Garden Complex and upgrade it, and fund the biological control of insects in the conservatory.
Their philanthropic outreach is on view each year when members decorate Eldon House, Ronald McDonald House and Women's Community House. They donated to the rose garden at Fanshawe Pioneer Village and planted trees in city parks, such as the Elsie Perrin Williams estate. The club gives annual funding to students at Clarke Road and B. Davison secondary schools and Fanshawe College.

The Number 20
Today I participated in one more casting. Designers were looking for models and here we are. Me and our group. Today my number was 20. I didn't have to wait long for my turn so it was good.
Anyway, for castings we usually have to dress something simple, shape and body lines highlighting clothes. I chose to wear my lovely blouse from H&M and skirt from Tally Weijl and my heels from Bershka. It was simple and comfortable. I just love it!
Someone turns Sixteen!
A few days ago, on Tuesday it was my friend Smilte's Birthday! But me and my sister decided to celebrate it today with just us three somewhere in the old town! It was so awesome!! Having dinner in G-Loft, which is one of the most popular places in the city nowadays. So, yeah, after that we moved to Vero Cafe, where we have spent our evening! It was so fun. I decided to take some photos for you there. As you see I was wearing my new leggings which I've received from a postman not too long ago.
Just another Friday evening
Today, just my lessons came to the end, I moved straight to the old town and met my friends. Another Friday evening chatting with my best girls, drinking hot coffee and enjoying our sweet time! I'm really happy, that I've finally received my new sweater that I bought online and had a chance to look super cute with it today!!
Just an ordinary Autumn look
Good evening, dears! Today I had such a busy day! The following Fridays have been so busy to me that I didn't realize that weekend has already come! Straight after school I went to the wedding dress salon. And again..I was trying on dresses that I'll wear for another fashion show.
And after that I met my dearest friends Smilte and Camille and we had such a lovely Friday evening!
Velvet leggings and fur vest
Yesterday I participated in one event. Fashion days have started in one of the biggest shopping center in Kaunas. It's called Fashion Days and it lasts for a few days. So yesterday it was a first day and our dance group was invited as well. Tomorrow I'll tell you more about this event and now just check my outfit that I wore yesterday.
Flower Shop
Hello, dears! And hello, October! Instagram post is going to be a little bit late. Sorry about that.
Yesterday I visited Monton clothing store and tried on some clothes that I'm going to demonstrate this coming Saturday. Can't wait!

Managing Your Layoff
You sit in your cubicle and watch your company's head count go down month by month. You know it's just a matter of time before layoffs affect your department.
Snap out of it! Instead of waiting to become a statistic, get yourself in position to manage your layoff.
Voluntary Layoffs
A number of companies are offering fairly attractive separation packages to employees who voluntarily leave their jobs. "Hmmm," you might wonder. "Why would I want to consider such an option?"
There are several reasons:
- Your company is obviously going through a slowdown. This means it may be awhile before you see a raise or promotion.
- The atmosphere at work will probably be dismal for some time to come. Do you really want to work in such an atmosphere?
- If you stay with your current employer and are laid off six months from now, will the job market be tighter for candidates with your skills? If it is, will you then be forced to take a significant salary cut?
- The best separation packages are usually the first packages offered. If you hold out for the next separation offer, will it even come close to what you could get now?
The Best Defense Is a Good Offense
It's human nature to want to stick your head in the sand. If you don't know something dismal is coming, you can sit in your cube and be happy, right? But the uneasiness of not knowing whether you'll be on the chopping block can be very wearing.
It's time to take action. Request a meeting with your boss and let him know your concerns. Ask him to be candid. If he tells you a layoff might occur in your department, ask if the company would be open to you interviewing while still employed. Say you would expect to make up the time by coming in early or staying late.
If you're told your position is fine, proceed with caution. It may be fine for now, but no one, not even your boss, can guarantee you will have a job six months from now.
Reactivate Your Network
Perhaps you've been a bit slack and haven't kept up with your associates. Now is the time to recharge your batteries and reactivate your network. It's easier to call someone just to say hello than it is to call someone to ask for a job or some leads, especially when you haven't spoken to the person in months.
If you find you are not in the job market, all the better. You've learned a valuable lesson about the importance of keeping your network greased.
Dust Off Your Resume
Time to update the resume and make sure it's in working order in case you're suddenly in the job market. You'll be in a much better frame of mind to do this when you are steadily employed, rather than when you are mourning a job loss.
Do Your Homework
Check with friends and see what their companies are offering in terms of severance packages. This way, you will not be operating in the dark should one be delivered to your desk. You will be in a much stronger position to negotiate better terms if you know what other companies are offering.
Going through a layoff can be very stressful, but if you are prepared, you can reduce the stress substantially.

Along with going through a pack of White Claw a week, I've also fancied myself to be an avid snacker during this time. I mean, a bag of Takis at noon, a bowl of oatmeal at 2 p.m., and some buttered toast at 4:15 p.m. never hurt anybody. I know I'm not the only one who's taken up snacking as a hobby these days. Singer Ava Max brought us into her pantry stash and showed us what she's munching on while she's been cooped up at home.
Psst: I'd get a pen and paper or a Google Doc ready because you're gonna wanna start getting a grocery list ready after this.
A favorite snack of hers? Crepes—made with brown rice flour topped with raspberry jam. As soon as she said, "Crepes," I freaked out too. And yes, my stomach did immediately start to growl. But, BIBLE, they are not as hard as they seem and require literally, like, five ingredients tops. If you've been craving your usual brunch order, aka powdered sugar crepes with some sliced fruit, this will a hundred percent fulfill that craving.
Looks like I'm eating all things thin, fluffy crêpes for the next month!! Unrelated, I ordered, like, four different berets from ASOS.

Frontline diary: 'I used to have a reputation'
Garry White

Garry White reports from New York City in fight week, reflecting on AJ vs Ruiz, the ghosts of Paul Gallico and Joe Louis and the days gone by in Yankee stadium...
The heavyweight championship changed hands in the seventh and the Yankees beat the Red Sox 5 to 3. It is tempting to think that this is how last weekend's tumultuous action from Madison Square Garden may have been reported back in the 30s when the great Paul Gallico was king of the New York Daily News sports desk.
His ringside report would have been accompanied by the kind of outlandish metaphor that make these old fight reports so evocative when viewed from the 21st century. He would have delighted in finding a hundred ways to describe Ruiz's far from finessed physique and in adding Anthony Joshua to the growing list of failed British heavyweight sojourns into American territory.
But at least he would have been there and I manifestly was not.
Earlier in the day I had stood across the street from 'The Garden' and watched the Champions League final in an anonymous Irish bar surrounded by Liverpool fans. Baking in the afternoon were billboards proclaiming the big fight. Overpriced merchandise already being ferried in for those wanting a lasting reminder of what promised to be little more than a public execution.
They or anyone else saw no portent of what was to come. Annihilation was mostly predicted, although there were some that felt Ruiz could go the distance and make life tough for the champion. But I saw nobody cast their vote unequivocally in favour of the portly challenger. To do so, would have invited ridicule.
The manner of Joshua's defeat was as horrible as Ruiz's triumph was glorious. Despite never being 100% sold on the 'myth' of AJ there was something tragic in his unscripted demise. Looking absently around his corner in bewilderment at the unfamiliar notion of defeat and embarrassment. His perfect specimen scuttled to the bottom of the ocean like the Titanic or Mary Rose, on its first journey out of port.
Despite only a solitary defeat on his record, Ruiz could have schooled him on both of these elements. And that perhaps, when it came down to it, was the difference. His supposed weaknesses becoming at the right day and at the right time an unshakeable strength. His negative experience imbuing him with an ability to take it, get up and keep going.
The man whose handful of 'rags' had inexplicably trumped Joshua's inbuilt 'Royal flush' jumped up and down like an over-excited toddler at the moment of his unexpected triumph. It was the antidote to every piece of schoolyard mockery that had ever been encountered. For the cheap insults that slithered their way across social media in their millions. He was meant to fall flat on his face like the stupid fat idiot that every casual onlooker seemed to think he was. A living embodiment of an endless collection of everyday slights and internet insults directed by the imperfect at the equally imperfect.
It was a win for the everyman against the body beautiful. But more than that it was a victory for heart and perspiration over unthinking mechanics. Like a well-schooled batsman used to bossing bowling on docile pitches, Joshua suddenly found himself on a pockmarked pitch against a jagging ball, and couldn't find the necessary page in his manual to adapt. Or, worst of all, it looked like he had tossed away the manual and the wise counsel from his corner; safe in the knowledge that victory could just be 'phoned' in. The soft body in his eye line unworthy as a threat despite the quickness of its hands and the hardness of its chin.
This night was meant to be all about Joshua. The challenger there merely to provide the knockout highlight reel to further establish his reputation stateside. Ruiz was there for a good time only, not a long time. A brief stint in the spotlight before dragging his truck driver physique back to the cheap seats. He won, boxing won, and the sport is back on the front pages as it was in the age of Gallico. It was wonderful!
And I could have been there, but I wasn't…
In New York on holiday, I had earlier weighed the fight in the balance and like Belshazzar found it wanting. I chose a night at Yankee stadium instead.* The limited lure of baseball purely secondary to a date with boxing's past in The Bronx amidst Yankee stadium's high wooden turrets. The scene of some of the greatest fairy-tales of boxing lore.
To sit in the nose-bleed seats and not see men in striped and grey uniforms but instead reflect my own black and white pictures onto the distant field. A cavalcade of big nights and fights from the 20s through to the end of the 50s. The scene of both battles between Louis and Schmeling.
The first a shattering defeat and the second legendary for its continuation of Jesse Owens good work of two years earlier, at the Berlin Olympics, in publicly undermining Fascism's false narrative, via a single-round demolition.
Louis is remembered via a street name across the way from Madison Square Garden. A venue now in its fourth incarnation. The one that hosted Louis giving way to the current version in 1968.
The same old 'Garden' where the fictional Terry Molloy took a dive and later en-route rejected his brother's plea to keep quiet, and in doing so, sentenced him to death at the hands of Johnny Friendly and his strong-arm sidekick played by "Two ton" Tony Galento.
The new one isn't a thing of beauty. An architectural symbol of its time it owes more to Soviet town planning than ascetics. But its construct is merely symbolic as it is the name that endures beyond its functional visage.
But Yankee stadium still has class and permanence despite boxing pretty much leaving there in 1959; a couple of years after the Dodgers left Brooklyn. An era when a capella voices still rung in harmony from street corners and the local boys from Fordham Avenue in The Bronx – Dion & The Belmonts - were top of the American charts.
"I wonder why I love you like I do
Is it because I think you love me too?"
Is New York still 'Fight City'? I don't know. Jack Dempsey's old restaurant went decades ago, but not before making a brief cameo in the first Godfather movie. The street corner where his first premises stood now carries his name but nothing else. A gravestone commemorating another time that faded out with the "American Dream."
But if you venture into Jimmy's Corner off Times Square, amongst the memorabilia and sepia photos you can see what once was. A corridor boozer with real-life punters drinking under the gaze of boxing's past legends. Lost tourists, those wanting an affordable drink, and the sports purists mixing in perfect harmony. The fight games force feels strong there.
On the street the chatter is back on. The heavyweight division can always capture the casual observer in a way that the other divisions should, but don't.
Andy Ruiz's glorious and unexpected victory turning a mere footnote story into global blockbusting news.
I overhear two guys talking on the subway but the talk is all about how much Ruiz should get paid for the rematch, it's the same in a restaurant later in the evening. Anyone in the know is sufficiently deft to understand that boxing is a business. But it's a sad day when the man in the street can't see beyond this either.
It's time to leave and the subway rattles towards the airport. My fantasies of old-time boxing and street corner harmonies are replaced in my thoughts by the older vintage of Dion Dimucci. One wearied by time and wizened by overcoming drug addiction.
"I used to be a Brooklyn Dodger," he sings. "But I ain't a hitter anymore. I used to have a reputation. I used to make the home crowd roar."
So did Anthony Joshua. Will he come again?
*Only later did I learn that the original Yankee stadium was demolished in 2010 and the new stadium was built adjacent to the old site. But it is a truth that I prefer to ignore. Joe Louis never fought there, except in my imagination.

Geodesic rock help needed
Anonymous member
After two weeks of making geodesic scenery (fake rocks) for the trailer side gates, we can easily say, we need HELP! Our technique is in need of an expert's touch. What you see in the photo are sections of scenery placed on the trailer. Some of them were very difficult to take from the molds. You can also see that we have more space to cover. If you can give us a hand, we'll feed you and say nice things about you. If you want to help with other things, like building roadbed of wood or covering track with fake gravel (polymer sand) we'd be happy about that too. Anyone?
On the bright side the trees and groundcover are very happy, the water feature still flows and the trains still go. This beautiful 10-year-old tree was donated to BAGRS trailer by Don Herzog of Miniature Plant Kingdom.
Happy New Year!

Before the current pass-happy era of the NFL, there was once a time where running backs were almost as revered and valued as quarterbacks
In the old days, things were much more about "ground and pound" football, and having an elite running back could change the trajectory of a franchise almost as much as a quarterback could. That's why, when we look back at the list of the greatest running backs of all time, so many of these names are so familiar to football fans. Here's our list of the greatest running backs in NFL history:
25. Roger Craig
Roger Craig belongs on this list because of one fact: there's only one other player in the history of the league (who also happens to be on this list) who can join Craig in laying claim to being the greatest "dual-threat" running back (rushing and receiving) of all time. Craig was the first running back in NFL history to record 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving in the same season; that feat has only been accomplished one other time since 1985, when he did it.
Craig also broke 2,000 combined yards two separate times during his career, and is currently 15th in all-time combined rushing and receiving yards in NFL history. The fact that he, one of the most dynamic players of the 1980's and invaluable piece of the great San Francisco 49ers' teams of that era, has not been inducted into the Hall of Fame, is a travesty that can't be excused.

Pro Bowl Selections: 3x selection
Hall of Fame: Not Inducted
24. Joe Perry
Fletcher Joseph Perry, known to most "Generation X" fans of the NFL as Joe "The Jet" Perry, was the first player in the NFL to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons, and retired in 1963 as the player with the most rushing yards in league history to date. During his thirteen seasons playing for the San Francisco 49ers, he was named to the Pro Bowl three times, and named league MVP in 1954.
Perry's stardom also carried some level of cultural significance, as he was the first African-American to be named the NFL's MVP, and is considered to be of the NFL's first African American "stars" overall. And to this day, almost 50 years later, he still ranks among the top 35 players all time in rushing yards.

Pro Bowl Selections: 3x selection
Hall of Fame: Class of 1969
23. Jim Taylor
Among a who's-who of Hall of Famers that played for the Green Bay Packers of the 1960, who were coached by the legendary Vince Lombardi, Jim Taylor was easily one of the most important players to the team's perennial success. Between 1960 and 1964, Taylor ran for 1,0000 yards in each of those five seasons, and had a combine 66 rushing touchdowns in that span — leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns in back-to-back seasons in 1961 and 1962.
Running behind Hall of Fame linemen Forest Gregg and Ray Nitschke, Taylor running the football when Green Bay would run the famous "Packers' sweep" was one of the most iconic plays of the 1960's. His 81 rushing touchdowns for the Packers remains a franchise record by a wide margin, and he remains 2nd all time in rushing yards in Packers' franchise history.
Seasons Played: 10
Pro Bowl Selections: 5x selection
Hall of Fame: Class of 1976
22. John Riggins
Arguably the team's most beloved player among the fan base of the Washington Redskins, John Riggins was the workhorse running back for Hall of Fame head coach Joe Gibbs and the Redskins teams that would go to the Super Bowl in both 1982 and 1983. During the 1982-1983 postseason, Riggins demanded that Gibbs put the offense on Riggins back, and Gibbs obliged; Riggins carried the ball 136 times in 4 playoff games, including 38 carries for a Super Bowl record 166 yards and a touchdown in Super Bowl XVII. Riggins was named the MVP of said Super Bowl.
The following season, Riggins would go on to set the NFL record for most rushing touchdowns in a season, running for 24 touchdowns on a Redskins offense that would set the record for the most points scored by an offense in a single season. To this day, Riggins' 11,352 rushing yards keeps him among the top 20 running backs of all time (in rushing yards.

Hall of Fame: Class of 1992
21. Franco Harris
Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach Chuck Noll had the foresight to see that Franco Harris was much more to offer than simply being a lead blocker, as he was for much of his career at Penn State University. From the moment he arrived in Steeltown, Harris became an integral part of the Steelers' prolific offense, winning the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 1972, and running for more than 1,000 yards in six straight seasons from 1974 onwards.
Harris was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl IX, after carrying the ball 34 times for 158 yards and a touchdown in Pittsburgh's 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. His Super Bowl career totals of 101 carries for 354 yards are records and his four career rushing touchdowns are tied for the second most in Super Bowl history. To this day, he's still ranked among the 15 running backs with the most career rushing yards.

Pro Bowl Selections: 9x selection
Hall of Fame: Class of 1990
20. Earl Campbell
Earl Campbell will forever be regarded as one of the most physical and hard-charging backs we've seen in NFL history. The two-time All-American at the University of Texas became the #1 overall pick in the 1978 NFL Draft by the Houston Oilers, and led the NFL in rushing his first three seasons in the league. In said first three seasons, he amassed 45 rushing touchdowns, while running for 1,450 yards each of those three seasons.
But because of the violence he ran with, people accused Campbell of being washed up at only 28 years old, which is why the Oilers eventually traded him to to the New Orleans Saints, where he spent the final two years of his NFL career, before retiring as a result of the pounding he had taken on his body.Still, despite playing less than a decade in the NFL, Campbell still remains among the top 40 running backs in rushing yards in NFL history.

Hall of Fame: Class of 1991
19. Larry Csonka
There was a moment in Larry Csonka's rookie year where he almost gave up professional football entirely, due to a string of injuries and inconsistent play. But when the great Don Shula tweaked Csonka's running style, Csonka never missed a game from then on, leading his Miami Dolphins in rushing the next five seasons. Between 1971 and 1973, he ran for more than 1,000 yards each season, and was the engine that powered the Dolphins offense during the three straight seasons they made it to the Super Bowl (1971 through 1973).
Over his 11-year NFL career, Csonka carried the ball 1,891 times for 8,081 yards and 64 touchdowns. He also caught 106 passes for 820 yards and four touchdowns. He was among the NFL's top 10 ranked players in rushing yards four times, in rushing touchdowns five times, total touchdowns three times and yards from the line of scrimmage once.
Seasons Played: 11
Pro Bowl Selections: 5x selection
Hall of Fame: Class of 1987
18. Thurman Thomas
Everyone will associate the no-huddle "K-gun" offense of the Buffalo Bills with Jim Kelly, but it was Thurman Thomas that truly made those Bills offenses so formidable. His ability to both run the football, and provide an uncoverable pass-catching threat out of the backfield, made that offense run. Thomas had four consecutive seasons with more than 50 receptions, which helped him lead the league in total yards from scrimmage in those years as well.
After the 1991 season, he was named the league's Most Valuable Player, after becoming the 11th player in NFL history to finish a season with over 2,000 all-purpose yards. He is one of only six running backs to have over 400 receptions and 10,000 yards rushing, and currently 12th on the NFL all-time list for most rushing yards in a career. During his 11 years with the Buffalo Bills, he went to five Pro Bowls, and was named to the All-Pro team five times. He became a first-ballot Hall of Fame inductee in 2006.

Hall of Fame: Class of 2007
17. Frank Gore
Frank Gore is probably the Rodney Dangerfield of running backs among the top 10 in the NFL's all-time rushing list: he just doesn't seem to get the respect he deserves, especially considering the names he can be mentioned amongst. A third-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft who is still in the NFL, Gore currently ranks eighth on the all-time rushing list — ahead of Tony Dorsett and Jim Brown — and could leapfrog guys like Jerome Bettis and LaDainian Tomlinson to move into the top five by the time this season is over. And yet, even with that type of productivity, Gore has never been named a First-Team All-Pro running back.
If it's any consolation, former Washington Redskins General Manager Scot McCloughan recently stated that Gore is one of the draft picks he's most proud of identifying and taking as a lead personnel executive.

16. Curtis Martin
You know those people who are so consistently good at something that we eventually take it for granted? That was Curtis Martin. Case in point, how many people realize that Martin ran for over 1,100 yards in nine of his first 10 seasons in the NFL? After three seasons in New England, in which he averaged over 1,260 yards, Bill Parcells traded away first and third-round draft picks to bring Martin with him to the New York Jets. In his first seven seasons with the Jets, Martin missed only one game and was selected to the Pro Bowl three times.
In 2004, Martin became the oldest player, at age 31, in league history to win the rushing title. Today, he's on the proverbial Mount Rushmore of the greatest running backs of All-Time, ranking alongside Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, and Barry Sanders for running backs with the most rushing yards ever.

15. Jerome Bettis
You might remember him as "The Battering Ram" or "The Bus," but you'll now forever remember Jerome Bettis as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. After a 13-year career that ended with Bettis walking away from the game as a Super Bowl champion, Bettis currently ranks # on the NFL's all-time rushing yards list, ahead of legends like Eric Dickerson and Jim Brown.
After rushing for more than a thousand yards in his first two seasons, the then-Los Angeles Rams decided to trade away Bettis to the Pittsburgh Steelers, where he rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his first six seasons with Pittsburgh. Over the course of his career, Bettis was selected to the Pro Bowl six times, and the All-Pro teams three time (including two First-Team selections).
Seasons Played: 13
Pro Bowl Selections: 6x selection
Hall of Fame: Class of 2015
14. Terrell Davis
We've heard this idea numerous times when it comes to NFL stars, but it's worth repeating when taking a look back at the career of Terrell Davis: where you're taken in the NFL Draft doesn't mean as much as what you do with the opportunity you're given by just being drafted in the first place. After solidifying his spot on the Denver Broncos because of his efforts on special teams as a rookie, Davis ended up rushing for over 1,000 yards in each of his first four years in the NFL, and was named the NFL's Offensive Player in the Year in his second year, and Most Valuable Player in his fourth year.
In 1998 (the aforementioned fourth year), he ran for 2,0008 yards and 21 touchdowns; both totals were the third-highest in NFL history at the time. A year later, Davis ended up tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee, and was never quite the same player after returning. Finally, after 11 years of being eligible to be inducted, Davis was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August of 2017.

13. Marcus Allen
After completing just his second year in the NFL, it still gives Washington Redskins fans incredible heartburn to watch replays of Marcus Allen take the hand off, go left, stop on a dime, reverse field, and take the ball 74 yards for a touchdown in Super Bowl XVIII. There was really nothing, as a running back, that Allen wasn't good at. He was the first player in NFL history to gain more than 10,000 rushing yards and 5,000 receiving yards during his career.
Despite being a tall, gliding runner, he was considered one of the greatest goal line and short-yard runners of his generation. The fact that Allen was able to play for 16 seasons at a high level in the NFL was remarkable in and of itself, let alone the fact that he scored 11 touchdowns in his final year in the league (1997). The six-time Pro Bowl selection led the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice, and won the NFL's MVP and Offensive Player of the Year award in 1985.

12. Adrian Peterson
The Minnesota Vikings selected Adrian Peterson with the 7th overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft, and it's safe to say at least four of the six teams that passed on Peterson will be kicking themselves for a very long time. Peterson will go down as the second best running of this century, only behind Hall of Fame running back LaDainian Tomlinson. Of course, Peterson appears to be well on his way to a first-ballot induction into the Hall of Fame himself.
He's been named to the Pro Bowl seven times in his 11-year career, and either First or Second-Team All-Pro in seven seasons as well. He has led the league in rushing three times, led the league in rushing touchdowns twice, and holds the record for the most rushing yards in one game (296). Even with all those accolades, his most impressive feat might be rushing for 2,097 yards in 2012 only months after tearing both the ACL and MCL in his knee, en route to winning the league's Most Valuable Player award.

11. Bo Jackson
Bo Jackson wasn't just a "legend" as a running back; he was such an incredible athlete that we almost look back at his career in a mythological sense. There's just no way a human being could be as athletically gifted, and so dominant at any athletic endeavor he pursued, like Vincent "Bo" Jackson. He was the only player in the history of professional sports to be named an All-Star as a professional baseball and football player. He won the Heisman Trophy as a running back at Auburn University, after turning down a scholarship offer from Bear Bryant at the University of Alabama.
During his four-year NFL career, in which he split time playing baseball and football, he would continually do things that would make both teammates and opponents shake their head in disbelief and awe. If Jackson hadn't suffered a freakish hip injury in January of 1991, who knows what types of records he could have set.

10. Marshall Faulk
Faulk was the centerpiece of the Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf," an offensive unit that will go down in NFL history as one of the best ever. Unquestionably the greatest pass catching running back of all-time, Faulk averaged 63 catches per season throughout his Hall of Fame career.
While his hands made him special, his legs didn't disappoint either. Faulk tallied seven 1,000-yard seasons and finished the 1999 season with over 1,000 yards rushing and receiving (only 1 of 2 players to ever accomplish both in the same season).

In his final two collegiate seasons at TCU, Tomlinson posted videogame statistics — rushing for over 4,200 yards and scoring 42 touchdowns. Critics suggested his success was a product of TCU's option system, and claimed he wouldn't transition well to the pro game. Boy, were they wrong! In his first 8 NFL seasons, Tomlinson posted over 1,500 yards of total offense.
Similar to Faulk, Tomlinson's excellent receiving skills made him a dual threat, which placed a heavy burden on defensive players and coordinators. As if that wasn't enough, Tomlinson was also a threat to pass on occasion, throwing 7 touchdowns during his years with the Chargers.

Leading up to the 1977 draft, the Dallas Cowboys traded up for the 2nd overall pick which they wisely used to select legendary running back Tony Dorsett. Dorsett topped the 1,000-yard mark in eight of his first nine seasons, finishing his career with 12,739 yards.
Dorsett's most memorable play as a pro came in 1983 when he ran 99-yards for a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings (NFL record). What most people do not know is the Cowboys only had 10 players on the field for that play. The missing player was Dorsett's fullback, Ron Springs.

Dickerson was a hard player to miss — besides being physically imposing (6-foot-3 and 220 pounds) — he sported a Jheri curl, signature goggles, and more pads than any player in NFL history. He was selected in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft and played professionally for the Los Angeles Rams, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Raiders, and Atlanta Falcons of the NFL.
Set in 1984, Dickerson still owns the single-season record of 2,105 rushing yards. Over his 11-year career, Dickerson totaled 13,259 rushing yards.

After being drafted by the Bears in 1965, Sayers immediately took the NFL by storm. In his rookie season (14 games) Sayers scored 22 touchdowns and totaled 2,272 all-purpose yards (NFL records at the time). In perhaps the most memorable of his career, Sayers scored six touchdowns in a single game against the 49ers.
Unfortunately, multiple knee injuries limited Sayers to just 68 career games. If not for the injuries, NFL experts believe Sayers would have easily finished as one of the top players in League history — regardless of position.

5. O.J. Simpson
Simpson was the first back in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season — going for 2,003 in 1973 — and he did so when the league played only 14 games per season! The other six backs in NFL history to surpass 2,000 yards in a single season all needed 16 games to do so. As a former track star at USC, Simpson was known for his breakaway speed.
As defenders closed in, Simpson always had another gear and exploded away from any would be tacklers. Unfortunately, Simpson's individual talent never translated into much team success. Throughout his career he played in only one playoff game.

4. Emmitt Smith
The NFL's all-time leading rusher certainly wasn't the flashiest. Smith didn't overwhelm defenses with speed, size, or power — his best attribute was his excellent vision. Although he didn't possess the same talent as some of the other backs on this list, Smith made up for any physical shortcomings with his durability and toughness.
Smith seemed to get stronger as the game went on, often punishing tired defenses in the fourth quarter. Smith rarely missed time due to injury. As a result of his durability, he finished his career with more rushing yards (18,355) and touchdowns (164) than any running back in NFL history.

3. Walter Payton
In 1975, exactly 10 years after selecting Gale Sayers with the 4th overall pick in the draft, the Chicago Bears selected another all-time great running back with the 4th pick. For those NFL fans who never had the pleasure of watching Walter Payton, his famous nickname "Sweetness" described his personality off the field — Payton was anything but sweet on the gridiron.
Payton was a bruising runner who refused to run out of bounds, and punished defenders until the whistle blew. As physical as he played, Payton missed just one game during his 13-year career.

2. Barry Sanders
Undoubtedly the most electric player in NFL history, Sanders was a threat to take it to the house every time he touched the ball. Sanders possessed a unique combination of quickness, elusiveness, and strength that may never been seen again.
Despite playing behind a weak offensive line on a struggle team, Sanders still managed to become the first back in history to notch five 1,500-yard seasons. Frustrated with management and their inability to surround him with better players — which often lead to defenses ganging up on him — Sanders shocked the NFL community and retired in 1998 at the age of 30.

1. Jim Brown
At 6-foot-2 and 230 pounds, Jim Brown was a man amongst boys. Brown was bigger, faster, and stronger than the competition. He was too fast to be tackled by lineman and linebackers, and too strong to be taken down by defensive backs. During his nine seasons in the NFL (1957-1965), Brown claimed eight rushing titles and walked away from the league as the owner of every significant record.
Although several backs have surpassed Brown in the record books, fans must remember that when Brown played, the regular season was 12 games long from 1957-1960 and 14 games from 1961-1965. In terms of per game production, Brown ranks #1 in NFL history with an impressive 104.3 yards per game — a record that has stood since he retired in 1965.

- Submission documents (including technical documentation)
We also cover topics related so classification of software as medical device, classification of medical devices according to MDD and the role of the notified bodies.
This video introduces the European medical device regulations and conformity assessment procedures (CE marking process). It explains the consequences of the classes (I, IIa, IIb, III) and when an ISO 13485 certified quality management system is required.
Medical Device Regulation MDR
In February 2017, the EU commission released the final versions of the Medical Device Regulation MDR and In-vitro Diagnostic Device Directive IVDR. These regulations will replace the EU directives (MDD, IVDD, and AIMD).
This article gives on overview on:
- Changes by MDR (in comparison to MDD)
- Main differences to US / FDA regulations
- The Medical Device Regulation itself (MDR at a glance)
- Estimated time line / transition period
- Assessment / criticism
Further articles related to the MDR cover the "famous rule 11" (important for software products), the Unique Device Identification (UDI) and the EUDAMED.
Medical Products Authorization Procedures in Europe and the USA
The fact that medical devices may not be placed on the market without any form of testing is obvious. But who examines the products? Who gives the authorization? Is there an authorization of medical devices? The answer to these questions differs in European and US legal procedures. more..
Notified Bodies
Notified bodies are government accredited, mostly private companies that take over sovereign tasks, in which they audit medical device manufacturers and examine their technical documentation for its compliancy with the legal requirements. more..
FDA - the U.S Food and Drug Administration
This article is particularly for those who develop medical products for the US market (which come with software or are standalone softwares), and therefore they are required to meet the FDA regulations.
Essential Requirements
The medical products directive describes "essential requirements", as the requirements that every medical product has to fulfill, according to the scope they belong to. These essential requirements are described by Directive in Appendix I. more..
Classification of Medical Products
When classifying products, it is important to distinguish between two classifications:
- Classification, whether or not the product is a medical device
- Classification of the medical device according to Medical products Directive, i.e. I, IIa, IIb and III. more..
Accessories for Medical Products: Definition and Regulatory Requirements
There are many definitions about accessories. The term accessories differentiates in its definition in the medical devices act. This article gives you an overview about the definitions, the regulatory requirements and the frequently asked questions. more..
Software as Medical Device
Software as a medical device, differentiates between standalone software and software that is part of a medical device. Classifying the standalone (also called SaMD - Software as Medical Device) software is often difficult, especially whether or not it is classified as a medical device. more..
Harmonized Standards
Standards are documents, written by the national or international standardization committees, to document the 'state of the art'. They usually include a standard you should not fall short of as a professional trade company. more..
MEDDEV – Medical Devices Documents
MEDDEV documents summarise the consensus of various working groups that would have been proposed later in the EC Commission. The contents are guidelines that will be developed for the application of the EC guidelines for medical products and are revised periodically. MEDDEV is derived from medical devices. more..
Technical File versus DHF
The FDA requires in 21 CFR Part 820 a Design History DHF (these are the "Quality System Regulations"). This DHF should not be confused with the Device History Record or the Device Master Record. This post explains what the Design History File must contain and how it differs from the other two "acts". more..
Unannounced Audits by Notified Bodies
Unannounced audits are random sampling checks of the quality management systems by notified bodies with the aim of finding out if medical device manufacturers are working in conformity with their quality management system (eg according to ISO 13485), being able to identify deviations and react quickly and to uncover fraud in a more reliable way. more..

For some people, preparing for an unforeseen or eventual serious illness makes just as much sense as preparing for an eventual death event in their life or in the life of a loved one. As such, our article covers one growing trend in health care: palliative care.
Just what it is, and how does it compare to another form of health care, hospice, is what we provide our readers to help them know their choices–should and when this time comes.
The Palliative Care Versus Hospice Care Focus
Let's start by giving an example that makes it more clear as to the difference between the two forms of care available today.
Having just undergone spinal surgery, a young woman learns she also has a form of cancer. Constantly in pain now, for both the spinal condition and the advancing cancer, her family physician wisely advises her of two options available to her: hospice or palliative care.
Both can work together with one another; however, patients are many times not aware that there's a palliative option also available.
What Is Palliative?
Usually, one's primary health care or family physician is more concerned with their patient's general health and treating the condition or disease.
In contrast, the palliative approach concentrates on preventing and alleviating suffering, improving your quality of life and helping the patients and their families cope with the other burdens imposed on them through the process.
The Palliative Approach Today
Being a new emerging medical specialty, there are more than 1,400 hospital palliative care programs in the U.S. Curiously enough, just 10 years ago, virtually nothing was taught on palliative care in medical schools.
Today, approximately 80 percent of the largest U.S. hospitals have a dedicated 300 beds each to palliative care programs. However, this kind of care is not restricted to large hospitals alone; smaller hospitals usually dedicate about 50 beds each to the programs. Moreover, this does not include programs set up in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and private homes.
Being an integrative, multidisciplinary concept in health care, the expertise of several groups of professionals is enlisted in this school of thought.
A Palliative Care Team Includes The Following:
- A physician
- A nurse
- A social worker
- A spiritual adviser
- A psychologist or psychiatrist
- A physical or occupational therapist
- A dietitian
- and a pharmacist
With palliative care, patients can receive attention at any stage of the illness–whether it's terminal or not. Its mindset focuses more broadly on ministering to patients of any age suffering from serious, chronic or life-threatening illnesses.
Cancer, congestive heart failure, kidney failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, AIDS, Parkinson's, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Alzheimer's, among others, are some of the illnesses addressed.
Palliative Care vs. Hospice: In the Future
Taking traditional protocol even further, when an attending physician determines there's less than a six month life span left to the patient, hospice is considered.
A specialized kind of care designed as a means of support to terminally ill patients and their families, the focus is on comfort and quality of life–and not on finding a cure.
Knowing that having a pain-free and mentally alert end-of-life experience, one day at a time, is possible in many cases, hospice care focuses on bringing life to its conclusion in the way less stressful and less painful for a patient or their family.
Palliative vs. Hospice: Other Issues Addressed
Palliative Care
More than likely, Medicare covers most, if not all, of your expenses, if they are administered through a hospital or approved medical provider.
Insurance coverage for hospice varies somewhat from one carrier to another. Some programs provide subsidized care for those needing economic help, or for those who have no insurance stipulation for hospice; however, most hospice programs come under the coverage of Medicare.
Palliative Care
While most palliative solutions are not truly end-of-life focused, there can be exceptions to the rule. Therefore, consulting with your physician is recommended before enrolling in a palliative care program.
An explanation of treatment philosophy, process and protocol will help give one a clear view of what to expect from the offered program.
By concentrating on avoiding extensive life-prolonging treatment, the focus is on giving hospice patients the most comfort in the time they have left–without the negative side-effects associated with some treatments or medication.
While hospice programs predominate the health care industry, today the palliative option offers solutions that weren't before available.
Moreover, new integrative and holistic approaches, when combined with hospice and palliative, are taking patient care to new levels in medical attention.
In short, when we speak of palliative care versus hospice, we speak of the proverbial comparison of peaches and grapefruit: we're dealing with two different areas of concentration that many times complement and overlap each other.
Comfort is a prime priority with both. However, extending life or facilitating its departure from this earth is where both differ significantly.

Texas A&M is looking to capitalize on an opportunity to make a statement against a heavily-favored Clemson in College Station this weekend. The Aggies lead the all-time series with the ACC heavyweight program, 3-1, but Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher are each looking to snap losing streaks against the Tigers, and Dabo Swinney.
Fisher and Swinney are certainly no strangers meeting for the first time this weekend. The two former ACC Atlantic Division foes are meeting for the ninth time in their careers, and the records are even at four wins each. But the swing of the coaching matchup has favored Swinney of late with three straight wins against the former Florida State head coach. The national perception of each program has swung in favor of the winning coach throughout this little coaching rivalry as well.
After splitting their first two meetings at a time when both coaches were getting settled in with their programs, Fisher then went on a three-game winning streak. During that run, Fisher had a Heisman Trophy winner in Jameis Winston and won one BCS national championship and coached the Seminoles to a berth in the inaugural College Football Playoff.
Then Swinney took charge with Clemson rising in national prominence. Swinney and the Tigers went on a three-game winning streak against Fisher's Noles, claiming three consecutive ACC conference crowns, back-to-back appearances in the College Football Playoff national championship game, winning one, and making a third appearance representing the ACC in the College Football Playoff last season. Also last season, Fisher was going through a down year in Tallahassee that ultimately ended with Fisher accepting a job offer at Texas A&M.
Now, this weekend, the two coaches have reunited once again as Texas A&M hosts Clemson in the first game of a home-and-home series (the two play in Clemson next September). Somebody is going to take the lead in their coaching rivalry, and the win will carry some significance moving forward. A win for Swinney keeps Clemson firmly in place as a playoff contender. A loss may not be the end of the world, of course. If Texas A&M wins, Fisher will finally knock Swinney back into the loss column and give Texas A&M a charge moving forward into SEC play as a team not to take lightly this fall.
May the best coach win.
