Court upholds Healthcare Act By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

The United States Supreme Court today upheld a key provision of the Affordable Care Act, ruling 6-3 that government subsidies that make health insurance affordable for millions of Americans should be available to all who qualify, including those living in states, including Alabama, that have chosen not to set up their own health insurance exchanges.

Meeting Tuesday on city pay issue

That’s good news for millions of Americans who now have health insurance they obtained through the federal healthcare marketplace, including some 1,600 individuals and families who were helped through the federal marketplace by staff at Russell Medical Center. Jim Carnes, policy director for ARISE Citizens’ Policy Project, a nonprofit, nonpartisan coalition of 150 congregations and organizations dedicated to improving the lives of low-income Alabamians, heralded

the Supreme Court ruling. “The Supreme Court’s decision is a huge victory for millions of Americans, including more than 170,000 Alabamians who have gained health coverage through the federal marketplace,” Carnes said. “This ruling protects tax credits that make coverage more affordable for 132,000 Alabamians and it protects all Americans from the soaring insurance costs that would have resulted from a decision the other way.

‘Starch in Their Petticoats’

By Griffin Pritchard The Tallassee Tribune

Outlook Editor

The Alexander City City Council will continue its discussion on pay raises and inconsistencies on how they are handled at a work session on Tuesday night. The council announced Thursday that the meeting will be held Tuesday at 5 p.m. in the conference room on the second floor of city hall. City Council President Bob Howard suggested the work session after a meeting last week ended without a final decision or an agreement on how to handle the perceived pay increase procedural irregularities. “We need a work session to address those three areas, having all the justification and information in hand, and make a determination on which way to go,” Howard said at the last meeting. The council voted to freeze pay increases and See PAY, Page 7

Storyteller Dolores Hydock delivered her “Starch in Their Petticots: True Stories of Strong Women Who Settled the West” Thursday at the Adelia M. Russell Library to over 60 in attendance. The presentation focused on five women who made the move to the West in the mid to late 1800s. The material for her story came from diaries, letters, newspaper clippings and photos to help tell the story of the women in a male dominated era.

Joe Espy can see the light at the end of the long, dark tunnel for Macon County. On Thursday, Montgomery Circuit Judge William Shashy dismissed the State of Alabama’s civil forfeiture case against VictoryLand. The ruling could potentially clear the way for the massive casino, dog track and hotel to reopen. “We think this is a major victory,” Espy, who represents VictoryLand and its owner Milton McGregor, said. “He rendered that the rule of law is going to be upheld. We are entitled to run these machines as long as anybody else does, including the Native Americans.” The gaming center and hotel located in Shorter has had its doors shuttered since law enforcement agents, at the behest of the Alabama attorney general’s office, raided the facility in February of 2013. Shashy in his opinion writes: “ … it is undisputed that other facilities within the state have operated the same type of gaming devices for substantial periods of time, even while VictoryLand has been shut down. The state did not dispute that other facilities have the same machines or that they are open.” VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor issued a statement Thursday, saying he plans to reopen as soon as possible “The decision paves the way for electronic bingo to resume at VictoryLand and for the people of Macon County to once again go back to work and provide for their families,” McGregor said in a statement.

The wait is over. Lake Fest is this Saturday. The Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting its second annual Lake Fest at DARE Park this Saturday, June 27. “It will be a great day for everyone,” Chamber Executive Administrator Linda Andrews said. “With it being at DARE Park, it is free admission. It will be Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will go on rain or shine.” “There will be a cornhole tournament,” Andrews said. “Registration begins at 9 a.m. with the first round of games at 10 a.m.” In addition to enjoying the lake, everyone in attendance will have a chance to see what wares vendors will bring. “We will have vendors with hand-

made soaps, embroidery and other arts and crafts,” Andrews said. “We will have a bounce house for the children. The chamber will have its Lake Martin T-shirts available for sale.” The list of items on display and for sale this year is long and varied. There will be jams and jellies, children’s items, books, fresh fruit and vegetables, monogrammed shirts and glassware, wreaths and door-hangers, candles, room fresheners, all-natural pain-relieving cream, handmade jewelry, a Tupperware party, antiques, pottery, hand-painted lake art, essential oils and more. And for those that get hungry? “We will have food vendors too,” Andrews said. “The vendors are the only thing that will cost money.” Tiger Dogs will be there selling hotdogs and the Overall Company will be Robert Hudson / The Outlook selling cool fruity and creamy popsicles. Food, games and vendors will be featured at Lake Fest See LAKE FEST, Page 7 Saturday at DARE Park.

DEAR ABBY: I am 59 and have a steady, good-paying job. I was married for 20 years, but divorced 11 years ago. I am set in my ways. I have been seeing a woman, “Melinda,” for eight years now. She’s 51 and also has a steady job. We live 30 miles apart. Our relationship has been somewhat rocky, but we have also had some really great times. Melinda has said for years that she wants to get married. It makes me nervous. My hands sweat and I think of every excuse not to when she brings it up. I’m in love with her, but when she brings up marriage, I run and hide. She feels our relationship should end so she’ll be free to meet someone else and marry. She deserves that right, and I understand it. I struggle, though, when I don’t hear from her, speak to her or I imagine her with someone else. It drives me nuts, and I end up contacting her. We start talking and things seem fine for

patches in your relationship in the future.

Why can’t I get married? -- TORN & STRUGGLING IN ARIZONA DEAR TORN & STRUGGLING: Your problem may be that your first marriage -- and probably your divorce -- left you marriage-averse. Because you’re in love with Melinda and can’t manage without her, let me suggest that you discuss this with a licensed mental health professional and see if you can get beyond your fears. Joint counseling with Melinda would also be helpful for both of you, to ensure there are fewer rocky

DEAR ABBY: I have a special “Pennies From Heaven” story to share with you. My dear grandmother recently lost her long battle with Alzheimer’s. Toward the end, we weren’t sure how aware she was, and if she understood us when we spoke to her. Tonight, my husband, my sister and I decided to have dinner at Grandma’s house and go through her photos for her funeral. After dinner, my sister asked if we had any chocolate. My husband said, “What about the chocolate in the refrigerator?” I hadn’t seen any, but when I went to look, there was a packet of chocolate bars wedged in between the drawers. The expiration date on the wrapper was two years ago, when Grandma last lived in the house. Abby, the refrigerator had been cleaned out multiple times, but somehow we

missed the chocolate until today when we needed a sign from my grandmother that she was near. Grandma was a Dear Abby fan. We found many of your clippings among her photos. I know she’d love it if you shared this story with your readers. -- JEAN’S GRANDDAUGHTER IN TENNESSEE DEAR JEAN’S GRANDDAUGHTER: I’m glad to do it. And speaking as another chocoholic, that you found Grandma’s stash in your time of need warmed my heart. I hope it lifted your spirits during what had to be an emotional time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your dear grandmother.

Our

Opinion

RMC-UAB tie is great for the area

he announcement this week that Dr. Kevin Sublett’s practice in Alexander City is now part of the University of Alabama at Birmingham family is good news for our community. UAB’s Heart and Vascular program has hired Sublett, who has worked as a cardiologist in Alexander City for 15 years, and formed the UAB Heart and Vascular Clinic of Central Alabama. Sublett will continue to practice from his current location at Russell Medical Center and will also serve as an assistant professor of interventional cardiology for UAB. “Our patients will now be able to access UAB Medicine locally, which is a tremendous benefit …,” Sublett said. “The services here will include the latest, most advanced techniques and procedures from UAB’s worldrenowned heart physicians, nurses and staff – all brought back home to the people of Alexander City.” Russell Medical Center has already successfully partnered with UAB in The Cancer Center at RMC, bringing nationally recognized cancer care to rural east central Alabama. People who are forced to travel when they are ill face multiple challenges and several hours of drive time never helps. Having top-notch medical care close to home is a huge benefit. This new partnership with Dr. Sublett means that two of the most devastating medical problems facing Americans – heart attacks and cancer – can now be treated in Alexander City using UAB’s deep pool of knowledge and experience. With Lake Martin’s and Alexander City’s growth as a tourist and retirement area, the knowledge that people who live in a beautiful, rural area can have medical care similar to what they would receive in Alabama’s biggest city has got to be viewed as a plus for our community. We would like to congratulate Dr. Sublett, Russell Medical Center and UAB on their new venture here in the Lake Martin community.

He shoots! He scores! ... Wait!

am not a born athlete. In fact, it’s probably pushing it to call me an athlete at all. In my youth, I was good enough at baseball. I had a good glove at second base and was a decent punch-and-judy hitter. My best attribute was probably my head. I always knew where the play would be should the ball be hit to me. I was too small to play football. Probably no more than 125 pounds dripping wet. But, still, I tried to play. They put me at defensive back – as far away from the action as humanly possible. Even at that, my pre-game meal of 4-6 Tylenols became just too much to bear. I don’t know if my helmet was too tight or my anxiety too much, but I hung up my cleats after a single spring training. Basketball? In the back yard I was an all-star. I could drain ‘em from all over. Of course, there was rarely any defender around. Still, my skills on the hardwood were enough to land me a spot on the junior varsity team, where I played for Hall of Fame Elmore County football coach Terry Burt. who, apparently, got his laughs working with our lowly squad of misfits. Define misfits? Well, for starters our jerseys didn’t match. The better players – the ones who could actually count on playing every game – wore white jerseys. The other three of us (and, yes, I’m including myself, The Backyard Bomber) wore gray jerseys. Coach Burt preferred to say they were silver and he promptly labeled us The Silver Dollars. Probably because all three of us weighed about 100 pounds – if

that. Even our first-teamers weren’t very good. We struggled to win games and, as a team, probably averaged between 10 and 20 points an outing. But we played hard. Not well, but hard. Turned out, there was only one team worse than us in the county – the Holtville Bulldogs. So, I waited until we played them to ask my father to come to a game. He said he’d have to shuffle some things around on his schedule, but promised to try to make it. He did. I wish he hadn’t. In the first half, our first-teamers built us up a nice lead. This was looking like an easy win. The game wasn’t even to halftime yet and already the Holtville five was clearly frustrated. Their season of losing was about to continue. And this loss would be to a team who hadn’t won but a couple games itself. So, with time running out in the first half, Holtville takes the ball down court and promptly fumbles it out of bounds. It’s at this moment that Coach Burt, as coach-like as if he were in a championship football game, looks down the bench and says, “Silver Dollars! Get in there!” These were not words we heard often before halftime. But, after exchanging some confused glances, we dashed to the scorer’s

table and into the game. Here’s where it gets good. One of our starters had the ball on the endline and we were to inbounds the ball and take it down court. I was the other guard, so all our teammates went to our end of the court to set the offense and wait for us. The Holtville defense followed. My teammate inbounded the ball to me and, out of the corner of my eye, I saw the unguarded basket not 10 feet away from me. I launched a textbook jump shot. I realized two things as the basketball left my hand: I’d made a perfect shot and, more importantly, I’d shot at the wrong goal. I covered my head and, peeking through my fingers, saw the lovely swish of the net as the ball went through. Our cheerleaders, not knowing the difference, began a fullthroated cheer. I wanted to choke each of them. I didn’t look for Dad, but I could picture him leaving the gym, shaking his head. Luckily, the half was over soon. We led 16-4. I was tied as high-point man – for our opponent. “Granger,” Coach Burt told me with a grin, “if we lose by two ….” Needless to say, when it came time for the second half, I wanted to stay in the locker room. But I reached down, picked my last shred of dignity off the floor and jogged into the arena. We won the game. Dad never mentioned my errant basket. I guess that’s the best outcome I could hope for.

Accountability Act’s unintended consequences

ew information from the Department of Revenue shows at least $4 million that should have gone to the Education Trust Fund in 2014 went instead to pay tuition for students already enrolled in private schools. While the law was intended to help “failing schools” and their students, more than 1,000 students in private schools got scholarships. This is allowable under the Alabama Accountability Act. Under the accountability act, scholarship granting organizations (SGOs) raise money from both individual and corporate contributors. When donors adhere to certain guidelines, they receive a dollar for dollar tax credit against their Alabama tax liability. Since the diverted funds would normally go to the state Education Trust Fund, any dollar received by an SGO is a dollar that is unavailable to be used to fund education needs. Bottom line, in 2014 we took $4 million away from the Education Trust Fund and gave it to private schools to pay tuition and fees for students who attended that school for at least one year prior to getting a scholarship. Legislative leadership who rushed AAA through the House and Senate in 2013 never told the public that this would be one of the outcomes. Instead, we were told repeatedly that this law was only about “helping poor kids stuck in private schools by their zip codes.” Records on file at the Department of Revenue’s website show the Alabama Opportunity Scholarship Fund, LLC, created by former Governor Bob Riley, gave 725 scholarships to private school

LARRY LEE Columnist

students. Scholarships for Kids, Inc. of Birmingham handed out 320 of them and AAA Scholarship Foundation, Inc. of Prattville funded 21 (which was 70 percent of their scholarships). If you multiply the number of scholarships by the average scholarship amount for each SGO you learn that as much as $4,431,897 may have gone to private schools for previously enrolled students. We also learn that AOSF gave out more scholarships in Mobile County than any other. The primary target for Scholarship for Kids was Jefferson County, while AAA Scholarships and Beacons of Hope were most active in Montgomery County. (Beacons of Hope did not award any scholarships to students already in a private school.) Another bit of info that catches one’s eye is the amount spent by AOSF in 2014 on “non-scholarship expenditures.” The Alabama Opportunity Scholarship Fund spent $805,190 while only collecting $652,390 in donations. An annual audit by the firm of McGladrey, of Step Up for Students, the Florida SGO that controls AOSF, shows the Alabama group spent $522,282 on salaries and wages and $387,036 on recruiting and advertising by June 30, 2014. Even though supporters of the accountability act continue

to claim it was intended to help failing schools and their students, it has long been acknowledged that a large number of scholarship recipients were not from these schools. The new info is the most specific look to date at how far this legislation has strayed from its original stated purpose. And you can’t help but wonder if the 22 senators and 51 house members who supported AAA bill in 2013 would have changed their votes had they been told they were voting to take $4 million from public schools to give to students already attending private schools. The 2013 version of this bill capped SGO contributions at $25 million. However, Senate Pro Tem Del Marsh got an amendment passed in the recent session to raise the cap to $30 million. So more money will be lost to public education and if the past is prologue, even more money will leave the education trust fund to support students who are already attending private schools. It should also be noted that the amendment passed by Senator Marsh actually rewrites the intent of the bill. In 2013 bill language clearly says it is about failing schools and their students, this has now been changed to say that the bill is about “school choice.” In other words, two years after saying one thing, the sponsor finally admits all the talk about helping failing schools was really not true. And we are supposed to place our confidence in this kind of leadership? Larry Lee is a long-time advocate for public education.

Pay

new hires after learning that at least two dozen city employees received pay increases, totaling more than $111,000, that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t approved by the city council. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personnel handbook calls for pay increases to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;submitted through the mayor to the city council for approval.â&#x20AC;? Since that time, some have requested information so that all employees can be examined to make sure there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t more inconsistencies. Mayor Charles Shaw said Thursday that since the issues have arisen, he has tried to go back and retrace his steps to doublecheck his actions. Shaw said he even looked back through several administrations and the procedures are all over the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I stand by what was done, because at the time I looked at the book and felt that there

were provisions that allowed it,â&#x20AC;? Shaw said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand what (city attorney) Larkin (Radney) said about approval. I also think he was right when he said that we should handle the ones that have been done, settle that, and then get a clear understanding and move forward with everyone on the same page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can say what they want, but I can look you in the eye and tell you that there was never anything done intentionally to go outside what the manual says,â&#x20AC;? Shaw added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we get it cleared up and it was not what was called for, I can promise that if we can get it down so there is no misunderstanding on the proper procedures, we will follow that from that point forward. I think we are at the point where for the good of the city, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what needs to be done.â&#x20AC;?

SCOTUS

continued from page 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling, health coverage for thousands of Alabama families is safe and sound. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for Alabama to take the next step and close the Medicaid coverage gap for thousands more. Health reform is the law of the land and our leaders should work to make sure it succeeds in providing access to affordable coverage for all Alabamians.â&#x20AC;? The ruling saves the healthcare insurance of at least 6.4 million Americans who were receiving the healthcare insurance subsidies in the 34 states without their own exchanges. Had the Court ruled against the Obama administration, those people would have lost their subsidies, worth an estimated $1.7 billion, according to a Washington Post report. President Obama addressed the ruling in a brief address from the Rose Garden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over â&#x20AC;Ś five years, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked to implement the Affordable Care Act, there have been successes and setbacks. The setbacks I remember clearly. But as the dust has settled, there can be no doubt that this law is working. It has changed, and in some cases saved, American lives. It set this country on a smarter, stronger course. And, today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after more than 50 votes in Congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law, after multiple challenges to this law before the Supreme Court â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Affordable Care Act is here to stay.â&#x20AC;? Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the majority, which also included justices Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In a democracy, the power to make the law rests with those chosen by the people,â&#x20AC;? Roberts wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our role is more confined â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;to say what the law is.â&#x20AC;? That is easier in some cases than in others. But, in every case, we must respect the role of the Legislature and take care not to undo what it has done. A fair reading of legislation demands a fair understanding of the legislative plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congress passed the Affordable Care Act to improve health insurance markets, not to destroy them. If at all possible, we

Lake Fest

must interpret the Act in a way this is consistent with the former and avoids the latter. (The contested portions of the law) can be fairly read consistent with what we see as Congressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plan and that is the reading we adopt.â&#x20AC;? Dissenting from the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling were justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should start calling this law SCOTUSCare,â&#x20AC;? wrote Scalia for the dissenters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps the â&#x20AC;Ś Affordable Care Act will attain the enduring status of the Social Security Act or the Taft-Hartley Act; perhaps not. But this courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two decisions on the Act will surely be remembered through the years. The somersaults of statutory interpretation they have performed will be cited by litigants endlessly to the confusion of honest jurisprudence. And the cases will publish forever the discouraging truth that the Supreme Court of the United States favors some laws over others and is prepared to do whatever it takes to uphold and assist its favorites.â&#x20AC;? Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley termed todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling by the court â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointing.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the law is clearly written, subsidies do not apply to states that did not establish a state-based health insurance exchange,â&#x20AC;? Bentley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision, the Supreme Court became an activist court by rewriting the law, clearly overstepping the role of the Judicial Branch to interpret the law. The Supreme Court had an opportunity to repair what I, as a physician, have always believed, that the Affordable Care Act is deeply flawed and does nothing to help improve the health of our citizens. As a physician and Governor of one of the 34 states that did not establish a state-based healthcare exchange, I agree with Justice Scalia in his dissent that States are clearly not the federal government and that definition of a state shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be rewritten for the purpose of this law. I believe the ACA is, at its core, enormously expensive for families and businesses and does little to address the health care issues we face in our state and nation.â&#x20AC;?

Gaming

continued from page 1

Attorney General Luther Strange issued a statement Thursday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am surprised at the court order because it fails to address the key question posed by both parties which is whether the VictoryLand gambling machines are illegal,â&#x20AC;? Strange stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reviewing the order to determine how best to settle the issue once and for all.â&#x20AC;? A spokesman for Gov. Robert Bentley said the governor was still reviewing the ruling and would have no comment at this time. Espy said that the ruling should have accomplished that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now we know the position going forward,â&#x20AC;? Espy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the Native American Indians 15 minutes away run these same machines, we can too.â&#x20AC;? According to Espy, when VictoryLand closed nearly 2,500 people lost their jobs and Macon County lost a business that supplied upwards of $300 million to the local economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were the major supplier of funds for the county,â&#x20AC;? Espy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At one time, the money helped to build a school. But without it, the county has suffered. The economic impact (without VictoryLand) has been devastating. This would bring education back, would bring the county back, would bring law enforcement back.â&#x20AC;? But, as with gaming, nothing is ever free and clear. Native American gaming centers in Montgomery and Wetumpka remained open along with county-based establishments at GreenTrack (Greene County) and Center Stage (Dothan). Shashy writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;While electronic bingo operations at VictoryLand remain shuttered, today, both Tribal and nonTribal facilities within the State of Alabama

continue to operate the same type of electronic bingo games. The State could not and did not offer any substantive reason why it permitted this state of affairs to continue at other facilities, while taking its present stance against the same operations at VictoryLand. The propriety of the State of Alabama electing to currently pursue action against only one facility is of great concern. It is apparent at the present time that the State of Alabama is cherrypicking which facilities should remain open or closed. This court refuses to be used as an instrument to perpetuate unfair treatment.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The A.G. can still appeal the ruling,â&#x20AC;? Espy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Attorney General has said if he gets an opinion from an independent tribunal, he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal. I hope he keeps his word. If they appeal, it will just slow the process and keep people from getting back to work.â&#x20AC;? Strange has 42 days to appeal, although Espy hopes to hear something within the next week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal, (Milton) McGregor will move forward and begin talking to vendors,â&#x20AC;? said Espy. Shashy had been assigned the case after an Aug. 23, 2013 order by the Alabama Supreme Court calling for Circuit Judge Tom Young Jr. to be replaced in the case. At that time the court wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see nothing indicating that Judge Young would be able to set aside his strong and consistent views for the

Predicting the 2015 college football season

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats brought their summer exhibitions to a close Thursday after hosting the Dallas County High School Hornets and the Tallassee High School Tigers. Benjamin Russell Coach Jeff Hines said the Wildcats rebounded well and moved the ball around on offense, but will have to limit second-chance points moving forward. “I thought we shared the basketball a lot better today than what we did the first play date,” Hines said. “I was really impressed with our offensive rebounding today compared to the last play date. I’m really disappointed in the way we boxed players out on free throws. We gave up a lot of second-chance points off free throws today, but that’s fixable. It’s an area we will definitely concentrate on when October rolls around.” Thursday’s play date was the last of the summer for the Wildcats, as they played a total of five exhibition contests this month. Hines said more important than wins and losses this summer was showing improvement, which he thinks the Wildcats did in all phases. “If I had to put a summary on the two play dates, obviously it’s not about how we finished record-wise, it’s about improvement from the first one to the second one, and I thought we improved in all areas,” Hines said. “I don’t think we shot the ball as well today as we did during our first play date, but I thought we did a better job of scoring in the paint and getting the ball into the paint. For this month,

we made some improvements and of course there are still areas we need to improve on like taking care of the basketball and defending people – even though I thought our press was very effective today.” Hines said the young Wildcats now have a pretty clear picture of where they need to improve and also gained some valuable experience. “We understand that we still have a lot to work on, but we did finish up on a positive by playing well and winning both games today,” Hines said. “But it’s like I told the guys, it’s not about the scoreboard, it’s about if we’re improving from game to game and practice to practice. The best thing I liked about these two play dates is that we had guys who have never played varsity before that got some very good experience over the course of five ball games this summer. “When the middle of October rolls around, there won’t be any inexperience. We will have played some varsity games, and some guys will just have to step up.” As for the rest of the summer, Benjamin Russell will take July Fourth off before returning to the weight room. “They’ll be off next week and then we will come back on July 6 and start hitting the weights again,” Hines said. “The guys will work out three days a week, and if any of them want to do some individual stuff, they can do that. And we may have some individual workouts for guys, such as post players working on post moves and perimeter guys working on ball handling and shooting.”

nly 70 more days. That’s what I tell myself as I sit at my desk, like a college kid counting the days left till graduation. It seems like every day since the Ohio State Buckeyes held up that God-awful new national championship trophy I’ve been checking some college football countdown clock, marking the days left until the 2015 season. Now that the NBA Finals are long over, Major League Baseball and soccer are just barely holding over this sports junky. So, now seems like as good a time as any to throw out some way too early college football predictions for 2015.  Two teams from the same conference will not make the College Football Playoff. The SEC placing two teams in the national title game was the ultimate confirmation of the conference’s dominance during the BCS era. So, naturally, that confidence (or arrogance, depending on which part of the country you live in) carried over into many a pundit predicting the SEC would put two teams into the inaugural CFP this past season. But after everything that happened last season, not to mention how many bonafide superstars left for the draft after last season, can anyone seriously sit there and say there are two teams in the same conference that both look like playoff locks? Take into account all of the random nonsense that happens during the course of every single college football season, such as Laqoun Treadwell fumbling at the goal line and both Mississippi schools coming out of nowhere, and I’m not ready to say any conference is sending two teams to college football’s version of the Final Four.  The PAC-12, not the ACC, will be shut out of this year’s playoff. The ACC has been a punch line to fans and pundits around the country for a while now. Even when Florida State fielded one of the most dominant teams in recent college football history in 2014’s national champion, people were still trying to discredit its success because of its weak conference slate. Even last year, the Noles were admittedly not as good as their record to the point that people were arguing that an undefeated FSU shouldn’t be in the playoff. This year, the ACC is already being pegged as the front-runner of the five major conferences to be left out, but I’m putting my money on the PAC-12. Don’t get me wrong, I love the PAC-12 – those late-night games are a lifesaver on Saturdays in the fall and I think they have a serious case for being the nation’s best conference – but the conference lost too many game changing players to the draft. Marcus Mariota’s departure from Oregon will set the Ducks back this year and Brett Hundley’s early exit from UCLA will stop the Bruins from taking the leap most thought they would make last year. Couple those two storylines with USC not quite back to being USC and I’m having a hard time finding a PAC-12 team that can run the gauntlet in what is usually a very strong, balanced conference. Which

brings me to my next prediction…  Deshaun Watson will be this year’s Heisman darkhorse candidate. The reason I ROBERT think the ACC will put HUDSON a team in the playoffs Sports Editor this year is not because I’m an FSU fan – in fact, I think the Noles will take a huge step backwards this season compared to their recent success in spite of the addition of Everett Golson. No, the reason is because of Clemson true sophomore quarterback Deshaun Watson. From the moment he stepped on the field against Georgia last season, Watson showed he wasn’t afraid of the moment and that he is the real deal. Injuries plagued his freshman season, but he still managed to come back and defeat rival South Carolina on a torn ACL. As recent history has shown us, dual-threat quarterbacks are usually the most likely to win the Heisman. If Watson’s healthy, the Tigers will do big things this year.  Georgia will win the SEC. This isn’t going to be a popular opinion in this state, except among one other person in my newsroom, but this is finally the Bulldogs’ year. It doesn’t matter that I had to Google who their quarterback is this year because running back Nick Chubb is a man. Despite the recent trend of high-scoring offenses in the SEC, as long as the Bulldogs can run the ball with Chubb in the backfield, they’re going to have a chance to win every game they play. Also, I think things stack greatly in Georgia’s favor this year: Tennessee is this year’s way too popular darkhorse, so they will absolutely disappoint, Florida is rebuilding and even though Auburn is rightfully a popular pick this year, the Bulldogs always give the Tigers a fight.  J.T. Barrett will win the Ohio State quarterback job. Even though Barrett was the reason the Buckeyes were written off after their early loss to Virginia Tech last season, he was also the reason they remained in the playoff hunt before Cardale Jones finished the job. And by the end of last season Barrett looked like a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. There’s still the caveat of “if he’s healthy” here, but I think Barrett is the Buckeye’s guy.  TCU will win the national championship. Ever since their days in the Western Athletic Conference, the Horned Frogs have always played with a chip on their shoulder. I don’t think that’s going to change after they manhandled Ole Miss following being shut out of the playoffs. Gary Patterson is a phenomenal coach who has led that program since 2000 all the way to being one of the big boys, but no doubt the Frogs will still have an “usagainst-the-world” mindset after being shut out of the CFP. Not to mention that TCU returns 16 starters from last year, most important among them being phenomenal Heisman candidate quarterback Trevone Boykin. It’s easy to see why people are predicting TCU to run the table this year. Count me among those convinced this is TCU’s year. Hudson is sports editor of The Outlook.
