This is least surprising thing to come out of the first day of the tournament. The only surprising thing is that he was the only one caught.
Lol
Is there a rule where more players are tested when one player fails?
He ain’t the only one…
Rumor is they all are being tested tomorrow before their game. I will probably tune in and watch now. If they play really tight or start pressing I think we will have our answer on if there will be more positives. The funny thing is I can say I considered this an almost automatic guarantee that they would either be popped for PEDs or juiced bats before the tourney was over. And usually with PEDs, it is not an isolated incident.
Bats have to be thoroughly tested before Omaha. There is a reason they went 0-2 last year when they got to that big stadium. They are doing nothing more than what Arkansas used to do when he was there. However Ark picked and chooses wknds they used them. TN used them the whole damn season. There is a reason they had like 40 more home runs than the 2nd nearest team…
Link? Confirmed it's ped?
How long does it take to flush out and not be detected? Just wondering if the other players tested tomorrow have time to get out of system, or does it take weeks to get out
I'm not surprised by this at all. He probably won't be the only one.
If they don't win it all I think you would
have to classify this team as the biggest under achievers of all time. They've got a lot of pressure on them to win it all. Now conversely if they win it all they may go down as arguably the greatest college team of all time.
I think baseball playoffs (mlb and college) are a crap shoot. I think you should be judged as a coach on how you position yourself to succeed in the postseason more than how you actually do there. For example, I don't think the brave or state were the best teams in their league last year, but they got hot when it counted... I don't think lemonis or snit flipped that hot switch.
ETA... now if you lose in a regional/division series every year after being great all year, then yeah, that should me a mark against you
Almost sounds like Hugh Freeze and Ole Miss ……….
Maybe but you're still judged on winning championships. Winning a championship declares you as the best team that year regardless. Now if you want to say the most talented may not win it that's another story but the team that wins the NC is by definition the best team.
ETA Lemonis and Snits decision making put their teams in position to win a championship.
I agree. No way would I say he is best coach, one or two years they have been good. There is no team gonna dominate in the Sec, it’s way too competitive with a bunch of good teams and programs. Cheating is just a short cut to success, time will tell and maybe Tn will be exposed now.
Polk was better than Bianco who is a good coach. Great is for Coaches like Saban, it's about championships for elites.
Polk went to Omaha 8 times I believe. With 3 different programs. That puts him in a different class than bianco, who is good too.
Polk was The Goat as far as program building- he showed everybody else how to do it. All the things that had to be included besides in-game coaching
He recruited well but so many times his teams lacked in an area that never would allow him to win a title
Very good coach but the lack of a title hurts him tremendously. He's Marv Levy
When has the NCAA only tested 1 player? Something isnt right about this story
I said championships(plural). You can win one and still be a good but not great coach. You win more than one you could enter that great category. Success is measured by championships that's just the way it is. There's obviously other things that would make one a good coach, program building, recruiting, etc but to be judged elite you have to win the big one.
I love Bobby and he's a Hall of Famer and it hurts me he didn't win more titles but he'll go down in history as a manager who should've won more titles but didn't close the deal. He got out managed in some of them. Just the way it is. To be the MAN you have to win when it counts. That's my opinion and if yours is different that's fine but I judge players and coaches on winning championships but that's just me.
