When I heard about Linemen benching 515lbs for 4 or 5 clean reps I knew it was only a matter of time before someone dropped a dime on these guys. The guys who tested positive either screwed up their cycles which means they got sloppy or weren't told when the test was going to take place. The bottom line is that PED are still prevalent in college football.I may be wrong here so correct me if I am wrong. There are two teams head and shoulders above the rest of college football. Both teams had nine players randomly selected for PEDs. Both teams had three of those nine fail. We don't know who the nine were (we know the three that failed). No other players were tested. So a 33% failure rate was realized. I don't know of any other programs that got hit for PED's beyond one here and there per school.
Do we think this is a coincidence?
Any ideas on what the Clemson "culture" is all about?

I believe I once read Kelly's lips to say "Holy F--k!". So there's that.
Certainly most on this board will find out he is not... mainly because that is what they want to find.
I'm certain the local sleuths will dig up some article from 2016 where a recruit was told one thing and another happened.
Then perhaps there will be a tragedy related... extremely loosely to the program, and Dabo will then become the devil.

Clemson's culture = weird Southern Evangelical Christianity. Check out Trevor Lawrence's Instagram account, super strange religious stuff - unless your in to that hocus locus stuff.
The culture is paying young men to take PEDs and play football. The NCAA culture of enforcement is dead after Judge Covey and UNC got done with them.
There is a ton of religiosity in pro sports; especially football. There has been a lot of talk about Cody Parky, pointing to the sky, after his miss....lots of class and respect for giving thanks even after a miss.
People miss the point of religion in sports. They don't pray to win. They pray to stay humble, to give them strength, to hope for good health, to give thanks for the opportunity. Obviously, it works for many people. I am not sure why people complain about this. Jealousy? I mean, it is like someone complaining about people that work hard, don't drink and don't smoke. It works for them...be happy. Its OK if you don't understand it...but don't complain about it.
Which means the Lord didn't bless Alabama with enough amazingly talented players to win. Why does the Lord not like Alabama??
I often wondered how the SEC hushed up their proud saying,football isn't a sport it's a religion.Which coincided with the timing of Bama's new dominance and the Sandusky scandal.
I didn't complain about it because it seems to be working for Clemson, just said the Evangelical Southern sh*t seems weird to me. Kind of like Catholic priests raping and covering it up for hundreds of years is weird.
By the way, is Dabo "praying for strength" as he shoots up his players full of PEDs?
All the money goes to the coaches and the university, the players just get an upgrade to their cars.
I get it...you want to take shots..can't help yourself...check. You forgot to talk about boyscouts, PSU, Sparty, tOSU, hollywood, CBS...congress...hell, every large organization is guilty of not doing enough to protect kids.
If you don't want religion, don't go. Simple fix.
YesBecause, or course, the Lord really gives a damn about who wins a football game. So if Clemson gives credit to the Lord for winning, does that mean Alabama can blame the Lord for the loss??
You can't have success with honor and not acknowledge that stat,so I suppose without thinking to much it has some level of relevance.And 20% of Tabby Cats are female.
Which is a statistic that has just about as much relevance.
All the God and sports stuff reminds me of this classic story about John Gotti. The FBI had put a bug in a ceiling lamp of his Social Club office.
Anyway, the FBI was listening in on things one Sunday during a slate of NFL games. Gotti was taking a beating - losing almost every bet he made. Gotti finally became exasperated and yelled out something like - “God, why are you such a mothereffin’ Fa-got!!!”
The FBI guys literally were rolling on the floor laughing after that.

Well the bagman could have delivered the WR from BamaDabo culture - Franklin culture who knows.....On campus it's akin to SEC fanaticism with plenty of southern belle hoochie coochie and perhaps a bagman or two
last week ESPN was running the stories of how/why Bowden was pushed out and Dabo was inserted as interim. the South Carolina win evidently was key in keeping the job. he seems very outwardly religious (surprised that is even possible on any college campus these days). the guy comes across very genuine on the surface. southern charm.
the culture thing feels like it is not entirely genuine, but none of us know for sure - or even what it really means. He did take a starting QB and benched him for a FR so performance culture and no loyalty involved. that is probably less than the loyalty we have at PSU. also, bet that we might have fewer PED drug test failures than Clemson (just speculating there). not trying to paint them as evil empire - just scrape some of the purity luster off in a couple places.
I think we need Felli to weigh in on this.Because, or course, the Lord really gives a damn about who wins a football game. So if Clemson gives credit to the Lord for winning, does that mean Alabama can blame the Lord for the loss??
I think t ulture is about positivity, fun, and fath. Clemson believes in getting the right fit of player into their program, as opposed to THE highest ranked players.
Your post shows a fundamental misunderstanding of Christian faith, or really any other faith for that matter, but by all means continue to think your commentary was insightful.Because, or course, the Lord really gives a damn about who wins a football game. So if Clemson gives credit to the Lord for winning, does that mean Alabama can blame the Lord for the loss??
Whatever it is, Christian Wilkins bought into it without them even recruiting him.
