Re: Views from Around the Country on the BCSNC Game
As I said, I didn't think it had anything to do with steroids and wasn't trying to imply anything. I know Okie State had a quarterback who was 27 when he finished playing. Thought maybe Fluker was just older. Not sure what the upper age limit is for players.Don't get caught up in looks. A few years ago, I showed a pic of the starting UTx starting BB center, Odom, I think, to my secretary and covered up the source. She guessed his age at 35. He was 19. All of these guys have very high natural testosterone levels and their faces age early. A couple of years ago, we lost a kid for an entire year from an NCAA drug test for an innocuous drug. That's the NCAA minimum. At that point, Saban decided we would have our own drug-testing program by an independent lab - far beyond the NCAA program - and that we would never lose another kid to an NCAA testing program for a year. Bama has in place an extensive drug rehab program, designed to get in early and to institute a step program. That's the failure of the NCAA program - one year and you're out and there is no rehab. What on earth else would you expect from Saban? Soon all other NCAA upper echelon teams will have similar programs...
