Bristol baby!!

It would be awesome if this falls into place. $20 million to each team is crazy!!

The old Vols are flying in under the radar just the way I like it. People seem to have forgotten we are returning 15 starters from a team that won the east last year (one of the toughest years in the east in a while) and if not for Ainge's late INT we would have beaten the NC's.

I am just hoping the Georgia Dome caves in when Rammer Jammer and Clempson face off in a few weeks. UF's TE Cornelius Ingram could be out for the year with a torn ACL!! That will hurt the Gayturds big time!!
 
Oh look :eek: Nate's back for his 3 month visit to the forum. I thought I smelt something, wasn't sure if the dog s*** in the house or a UT fan was around. I'm not sure I'd say you were slipping in under the radar though your in the top 20 anywhere you look.

:clap: Good stuff. That smell by the way is your upper lip you putz :flipoff2:. Just because we are ranked in the top 20 doesn't mean we aren't under the radar. The tigers have all the players to make this year special. Hopefully you can eclipse the 10 win mark. What has it been now? 17 or 18 years?
 
And they still can't win the ACC

A Clemson University student-athlete tested positive for cocaine and four others for marijuana, according to a summary of drug testing released Friday by the school.

From July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, 724 drug tests were administered to Clemson student-athletes. The five positive tests were among the 654 samples that were tested for recreational drug use.

There were no positive results from the 70 tests conducted for steroid use.

Per its policy, Clemson does not identify athletes who test positive. First-time offenders are given counseling, increased monitoring and ordered to community service. Penalties increase for a second offense, and a third-time offender is dismissed from the team and loses his or her scholarship.

Also, the school reported six secondary violations of NCAA rules. All were classified as Level II violations, which are less serious, and were reported to the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The violations:

• A student-athlete attending a training facility in March received $96 worth of meals, which is considered an improper benefit. The athlete was declared ineligible until donating $96 to a charity, then was reinstated.

• Another student-athlete was found to have received a temporary parking pass without paying the $8 fee. The student-athlete is ineligible until donating $8 to a local charity.

• A two-sport athlete did not receive a required day off during a week in February and exceeded the NCAA-allowed 20 hours of participation. The coaches involved were given letters of admonishment and developed a schedule that would prevent a repeat violation. The athlete received three days off the following week.

• In two of the violations, coaches were found to have made improper contact with prospects.

In a March 10 violation, an assistant coach returned a missed call on his cell phone. The call was from a high school junior; the coach received a letter of admonishment and the staff was not allowed to call the prospect for two weeks starting July 1.

In April, a coach who had text-messaged the team's signees discovered one message was sent to a prospect. The coach received a review of the NCAA legistation.

In June, internal auditors at Clemson discovered that on three occasions in two sports, the playing week was not correctly documented. The school said the changes didn't result in athletes not receiving their days or in exceeding 20 hours. The coaches and sport supervisors were provided with a review of legislation.



Editoral: :grinpimp: Some things never change. CU cheating and acting like their chit don't stink
and proclaiming THIS is the year they win a Championship.
If the Tigers can't get it done with druggies, women beaters and cheating what's the world coming to?

Level II violations are a joke. Every team reports multiple Level II violations a yr because they are so easy to get. If a coach look sat a recruit the wrong way its a damn Level II. F-ing NCAA trying to control everything. Your more likely to get in trouble for not reporting any than for reporting 10.

Wow, just wow! 5 out of 724. Now, I don't claim to be a math genius, but I can see that's something like 0.6% of the tests are positive. We'd better close the athletic department, fire all the coaches, and send the entire student body to Betty Ford rehab. Man, I didn't realize that I was supporting such a culture of druggies...

Glad to see your finally opening your eyes.:eek:

Clemson is just a bunch of Drug Addicts, Alcoholics and people who fail to pay for cruiser parts.:flipoff2:

Just move along...there is nothing to see here. Tommy's taking care of the situation.
Our boys don't get into trouble. It's the guys in Columbia who are thugs and addicts.
Here's a little packet you recruits can check out about the problems at USC.
Dude, it's a glass house thing!
Richard just takes such delight in every little thing negative about USC and I see now
it's a CU thing. No biggie. No problems there at CU. Heck, they all are cleared to play
anyway. :grinpimp:

Its gonna be like 1.5-2 yrs anyway he'll damn near be graduated by then. Probably as far as his playing is concerned some news facts would need to come forward. Bowden has for as long as I can recall been one to support innocent until proven guilty. We'll know in about 2-3 more weeks when fall camp actually starts I guess.

Word is the guy is applying to PTI. He will be required to express his guilt and
get treatment . Whew, glad that's overwith and he can now put it behind him
and get ready for Bama. Kudos for Tommy for standing up for this innocent
women beater and keeping him cleared to play/practice.
Want to bet on how many, if any, games he misses. I say the over/under is two.
Isn't that how many D2 teams the Tigers play.
OR...how about a bet on whether he plays vs Bama?

Who says those 5 druggies aren't from the wimmen's basketball team? :grinpimp: If CU is living in the proverbial glass house chunking rocks, let's see the USC press release to the same effect. Oh wait, let's just check the in/out log at the Richland County Detention center, that ought to be close. :flipoff2:

Oh, and Marshall, here's a little something for you... I might have to make an "anonymous" donation to the Annual meeting.

If he pleads guilty, bet Tommy kicks him off the team. I sure would. Simple as that. One of the world's worst crimes, in my opinion. Gotta link to the source?
 
I saw the PTI thing on tigernet, if he pleads guilty I hope they kick him off the team. Simple as that, if he did it or anything close enough to it to warrant a guilty plea then the gave up the right to play football at Clemson.

David I like how you brought that drug test thing into the football thread implying it was a football player that tested positive. I dont see that in the article though. Could have been any athlete like womens rowing or diving or some bs sport that no one cares about. If it was a football player how do we know it wasn't Vincent who got dismissed from the team back at the start of the summer?

Where are these magic packets at David? All you cock fans are talking about them but nobody has seen one yet. Are they also invisible? Do they fly away when someone tries to bring them to the media? Or is it more likely that if you can't produce one it doesn't exist.

You know I tarted after the top 20 and went down looking for UNC. Got pretty pissed when I didn't find them as they had DUke at 50th. But then I went through the top 20. LOL.

That is what I'm talking about.

UNC 5th overall and 1st in ACC.

I think Richard would take a crap in his pants if he knew UNC beat Clemson in every major ACC sport.
