If a few of life's twists and turns had not worked out so well for Dabo, he would have been a hell of a snake handling preacher...he would have the whole congregation speaking in tongues.

And btw, deandre Hopkins who was mentioned in the first part of that story for being baptized at practice, recently posted a dick pic on Instagram, then deleted it and claimed his account was hacked. He was also accused of smearing feces all over the hotel room during the draft combine, although I think he was cleared on that one.
 
I was running track at Wake when James Trapp was running track at Clemson. Trapp is listed as Clemson's chaplain. Trapp one time was the cause of a melee at the ACC Indoor Championships one year while they were awarding the top 3 places in the 200. Trapp and his teammate tried to pin the arms of an NC State sprinter who ended up taking his plaque and bashing Trapp over the head. I'm sure his football career is just as colorful.

Atlantic Coast Conference officials are reviewing an alleged altercation between two sprinters on the award stand at the league's indoor track championship meet.

Kevin Braunskill of North Carolina allegedly hit James Trapp of Clemson on the head with the championship trophy Braunskill won for winning the 200-meter dash, the Anderson (S.C.) Independent-Mail reported. Trapp finished third in the race at Johnson City, Tenn.

Interesting article about God and Man at Clemson:

The Chronicle of Higher Education
With God on Our Side

Clemson, S.C.

Last season, Dabo Swinney, the head football coach at Clemson University, gathered his team on the practice field one day for an important announcement. "Someone is about to turn their life over to Christ," he said.

DeAndre Hopkins, a star wide receiver, stepped forward. A livestock trough had been placed near the 50-yard line and filled with water. Mr. Hopkins, still wearing his uniform and pads, climbed in. As several dozen teammates and coaches looked on, he was baptized.

At Clemson, God is everywhere. The team's chaplain leads a Bible study for coaches every Monday and Thursday. Another three times a week, the staff gathers for devotionals. Nearly every player shows up at a voluntary chapel service the night before each game.

The players all know the coach's favorite Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 9:24-25: "Run your race to win, don't just run the race."

Before they ever joined the team, some of them prayed with coaches on the phone during recruiting calls. On recruiting visits, they heard from Mr. Swinney: "I'm a Christian. If you have a problem with that, you don't have to be here..."

Gene Chizick(sp?) thought God was on his side too. Turns out it was just Cam Newton.

Todd Graham is another head coach who broadcasts his faith--the same Todd Graham who abruptly left Pitt after one year and notified his players via text that he had already left. And that was after he criticized assistant coaches who jump from school to school for being very much like mercenaries.
 
One would think that God would keep better company than Clempson football. Well, maybe with all these atheists around nowadays, God can't be as choosy as He once was.
