Clemson...The new Bama?

SI publishes a column on how Clemson has a significant Christian angle in its Football Program: https://www.si.com/college-football/2019/09/04/clemson-dabo-swinney-religion-culture

Can't say that baptisms after football practice are something you see at too many programs. I guess it is OK but as a public institution I am not so sure it is very kosher; then again Dabo seems to play by his own rules. Maybe Jesus told him it was OK to have his players take PEDs and plead ignorance?

I think the exercise of preseason polling is completely useless and simply intorduces bias into a flawed system. I don't know why the CFP poll isn't the first of the season, when a reasonable assessment of a teams strength can be made.

You mean you don't think 6 of the top 12 are from the same conference?

That’s a lot of sappy bs.

lol'ing at the thought of Saban conducting a baptism after practice.

I don't want to call religion a gimmick but...

I always laugh when people buy into all of these dumb gimmicks and slogans ("Row The Boat" )

It is all BS. The most talented and prepared team wins National Titles with a heavy emphasis on talent.

It's also a recruiting gimmick. Convincing parents their kid will be taken care of because the coach is a man of god. Ignore the part where multiple players were caught pumping themselves full of steroids last season under Dabo's watchful eye.

Michigan got waxed, but none of their star players suited up.

People forget that. The defense was missing all of the first round draft choices.
