I wonder if we'll ever figure out how those three Clemson players got that ostarine into their urine

Like Dabo too. Think, the "do your job" directive was aimed at the sideline official.
He is why Clemson has brought their program up to and maybe past Bama. Recruits want to play for him. Coaches want to stay on his staff. Think Saban runs his staff like a rehab clinic, because he has to. Don't think it's enjoyable coaching under Saban, and those working under him look to leave ASAP. Also, while coaches generally like to have their former players visit, have heard that Clemson's former players return to practice and work out with the current players at a greater rate than any other.
One last thing. If not for the 3 year rule, Lawrence would be the #1 pick in the NFL draft this year. Justyn Ross would be a first round pick too. Scary to think they will be around for two more years (also, very unfair that they lose two years of ability to earn millions).
Surprised people didn't make a bigger deal of this, honestly. If they tested 10 players (this is what I read/was told) and 3 came back positive, that's a damn high proportion. Did they test the rest of the team?
yeah then them all rallying around the suspended players as if they were injured was a bad look
They’ll gain revenue on the back end by being ready to play and having better stats for their second contracts. The constant discussion of NFL prospects of underclassmen was exhausting. The announcers didn’t know how to handle it when Lawrence said he wanted to win three more championships.
Dabo has an overpaid lifer at DC whearas Saban's assistants have ambition beyond their current employer.
Really like Dabo overall. Still feel that he does his fair share of acting - he knows the cameras are on him and he puts on a bit of a show. As opposed to Saban, who could care less. Not really a critique, just an observation. Obviously it’s effective.
Jimbo may have aTm heading in the right direction - first recruiting class #16, goes 9-4 in first season, second recruiting class currently ranked #4 - but 2019 is going to be a rough year for them.
OOC @Clemson
Rotating SEC East opponent is @Georgia
Plus regular SEC West games vs Bama and @LSU
So playing the teams that finished 1, 2, 6 and 7 this year.
If it’s all about injury, why bother with college at all? Or even high school? Just find promising 12 year olds and let them train by themselves in a NFL practice facility.
The raving about Lawrence is ridiculous in the big scheme of things. Sure he looks great but the list of championship and Heisman freshmen QBs isn’t a list of sure things. Look on the field last night. Tua got exposed and Hurt got passed over. Jameis looked fantastic as a freshman and he’s a questionable NFL starter. And then there is Manziel.
So let’s pump the brakes on Lawrence and let him play as long as he wants in college.
A&M is a program with Clemson type potential, but I don't know if Jimbo is the guy to do it.
Jimbo is not the coach that Dabo is.

I think it's more Jimbo isn't the program builder Dabo is. I don't think Dabo is a great coach as far as teaching the game really, but I think he is a great promoter/recruiter/proponent/face for the program.
