over PEDs this morning. His partner, John Michaels had to explain to him that the CFP is not a NCAA sanctioned event. He's another yankee d-bag who moved to the South and can't stand that Clemson keeps him from bragging on the local team...UGA. Clemson makes it hard for them in ATL, so they look for ways to put us down. ATL sports radio is just as hostile to Clemson as Columbia's.

That is absolutely absurd and all of that is coming from the

Feb 14, 2019, 6:33 PM

contrived headline Sapakoff got from what Dabo aid. It was a misleading headline. Dabo said they are looking at everything to try and determine how 3 players had a trace of that substance in their system. It could come from anywhere. We had three players test for it out of 20 and they did as the NCAA said and did not participate in the game. All players that tested positive were suspended. There would have never been anything else said after that point if not for the fact that Clemson is appealing the player suspensions into next year.

What this guy suggested had had absolutely no traction on major college sports shows or organizationa like ESPN, CBS ABC, Finebaum, etc. The yahoos like this guy go woth Sapakoff's extrapolation and want to say if 3 in 20 tested positive, then that would be 15 in 100. Some even want to say it means everyone would have tested positive. The fact is that there have been many reports on how this contamination happens throughout the sports world. Until this year, Clemson has never had any player test positive going into the playoffs and that includes the last four straight seasons.

I personally can't wiat for the findings. I believe it might be something that was in some of the treatment for injuries for these three players. I know that Dex, and the tight end had injuries, not sure about the offensive lineman. But the fact remains that even if found that is was unknowingly in a supplement given to the entire team, it wouldn't make a difference because still only 3 in 20 players tested positive.

Obviously, there is no worry of vacating the win, we sat exactly who the NCAA said to sit. We tested exactly who they said to test. What has really hurt me since Sapakoff's inaccurate headline on Feb. 9 is the perception some people will have of our title. It's like a reputation thing and you have some people that have certain agendas trying to turn it into more than it is. They will do that no matter what. I really wish Dabo had just done like Saban in this instance and not comment at all until the appeals and everything were resolved. THe shampoo think in Dallas was just kind of nutty, but the real mistake was giving Sapakoff even any kind of comment to create a headline out of.

GO Tigers!
