Well, that's all real nice, Doc; but then again, I seem to recall that after the last time Clemson got in trouble for buying players, y'all had signs and bumper stickers all over that stadium of yours that proudly proclaimed your football team "The Finest Team Money Can Buy!!" (complete with orange Tiger Paw). Then too, there were all those banners that also read "Hell Yes, We Cheat!!.
Seeing as how that time is a proud part of your "illustrious tradition", and the fact that so many of your boosters openly bragged about the football and basketball recruits they bought and paid for at the time (a fact confirmed by NCAA investigations, etc.), perhaps you can understand why we might be led to wonder if perhaps the cash-ola for play-ola thing is still very much alive and well up there in Pickens County. I could say something about that little matter of players testing positive for Osterine, but I feel sure that was just an inadvertent slip-up (at least the getting caught part, anyway). Not accusing y'all of cheating or anything, but let's just say that given your (once again) unusually speedy rise to the very top of college football, the history of the last time that happened just might lead one to wonder whether this is mostly good fortune, coincidence, great coaching and great recruiting, or whether that lucky horseshoe that appears so firmly affixed to y'all's rear ends at the moment may be at least somewhat due to the tiger not having changed his stripes after all, as it were.
