Chopping it up with Grayson Mann

Grayson Mann is a rising senior at Clemson and an aspiring sports journalist.

In addition to working for Tigerillustrated.com as an intern, Mann has his own podcast on which he's interviewed various Clemson football and basketball players.

On this episode, Clemson Dubcast host Larry Williams drops by Mann's podcast and we talk what it's like for a middle-aged man to cover one thing year after year after year while remaining motivated and curious.

How should the expectations for Clemson football be defined as the Tigers try to get back into the playoff picture?

With Florida State ascending and South Carolina on the rebound -- not to mention the team in Athens having become dynastic the past two years -- is it fair to say it's a disappointment if this program doesn't return to the top?

Has the addition of Garrett Riley given this program the jolt of energy and motivation it needed after six losses over the past two seasons?

After DJ Uiagalelei fell far short of the 5-star expectations, is Cade Klubnik ready to give Clemson its next transcendent presence at quarterback?

No ironclad answers to those questions, but a lot of good conversation.
