    On a video testimonial for products made by this company (Sports With Alternatives to Steroids, or SWATS, based in Alabama), you can find one Stephen Orr Spurrier endorsing one of their products ... to be fair, not the Antler Spray.

    It's quick, at the 39-second mark.

    Ruckus fails to understand the long arm of the SEC and how it shields its brothers from such tyranny from the NCAA. It's a northeastern jealousy I suppose, but sir, you really need to get with the program.

    Besides, folks in Alabama have been drinking deer piss for years.

    At least the one who own newspapers, right?

    This won't have any affect on Alabama football except in the public eye. I'm not condoning at all. But there's nothing to punish here, particularly with Alabama having on-the-record cease-and-desist requests made to this company and the company's snitch not linking anyone on Alabama's staff to the distribution.

    Also, How unsurprising was it Quinton Dial was one of the players?

    No doubt this photo of Joe Peschi and two 'Bama football youts had to send a chill up the spine of Nick Saban

    Would it be theoretically possible to have to vacate victories because of ineligible players?

    Is performance-enhancing drug use an NCAA violation? Those punishments usually are dolled out by conferences and schools.

    Great question to which I don't have an answer.

    NCAA drug suspensions are on a going forward basis, not retroactive.

    Saban's pissed. He thought human growth hormone added height.

    NCAA conducts drug testing at NCAA championship events but not bowl games.

    Also, even if they did test at bowl games I don't think a failed test results in forfeiture of a team victory.
