I want to know what sorcery Dabo had employed to keep Venebles this long. Assistant turnover is what held back OSU and now Bama. Meanwhile his star assistant and defenders stick around for more

5 year contract for $11.7M is a pretty good argument.

Did they discuss or even mention those suspensions at all during the broadcast? I didn't watch. I don't think it's at all paranoid to assume it would have been listed among the crimes of the century had this occurred at tOSU.

Other than to state Dexter Lawrence was suspended for testing positive "for a drug", no it was not brought up.

If tOSU made the playoff, and had (3) players all test positive for the exact same steroid, without a doubt, it'd be headline news. It'd have been the biggest story heading into the playoffs. And god forbid, had we won, the reporters touching down in Columbus today to figure out how systemic the use is........it'd have been a nightmare.

I'm glad Dabo said "they're going to get to the bottom of it" though. His kids all denied using it as a steroid, and "it's something you could maybe get from a hair gel or something like that".....lol....you can't. I'd recommend the trainers stop putting Ostarine in the salt shakers at the training table. As an FYI, Osarine is the same steroid Jon "Bones" Jones has been caught using a couple times. It's an oral steroid that works like anabolic steroids, but not nearly the negative side-effects. It's biggest benefit is that instead of massive muscle growth, you get a leaner, more "cut" figure. It also helps stamina. So basically something a defensive/offensive lineman would love to use.

As a side-note, it'd be really interesting to know exactly how many Clemson players were tested. Were 25 guys tested, or 7? Because 3 of 7 is much different than 3 of 25. In the CFP, it's known the NCAA ramps up testing (Saban complained after 2016 playoffs about it), but they don't release any additional information other than if a player has been suspended. It'd be very interesting to see the total amount of Clemson players tested to have a better idea of any potential systemic abuse.

I can't wait to hear Clemson report their findings. It was probably just a weird side-effect from their shampoo or something, I'm sure.......

This SEC bullshit has become exactly like politics today. People cling their beliefs and when presented with evidence contradicting them they deflect, deny or try to turn it around. Then they double-down.

Fucking SECLogic: "________ is great because they play in the SEC!". Why is the SEC great? "________ plays in it!!"

While I despise Clem's Son I shed not one tear for Alabama or their damned conference. Their 6-6 record in the bowls is quite dominant, especially because they were favored in 10 of them.

Meanwhile, the B1G limps home again with a 5-4 record in the bowls (only favored in 3 of them)

How will ESEC!SEC!SEC!PN spin it? It will be creative I'm sure.
