[QUOTE="GTJackets, post: 762336, member: 759"] I really don't understand Dabo's angle here. I know he's upset that they prepped and traveled and incurred all those expenses only to spend extra time in their luxurious hotel rooms. I understand he offered to continue testing and play the game a day or two later. I know he's concerned that all these weeks off are hurting his playoff chances and Lawrence's Heisman chances. I get all that. But can't he at least try to understand FSU's side instead of hammering them in the media every chance he gets? He had a symptomatic player practicing. He tested him like everyone else and he came back negative. He tested everyone again and then loaded them all on the plane. After arriving (at some point) they find out the kid was in fact positive. Do they really expect me to believe that the thought never crossed their mind that they may not be able to play after everyone was on a plane with a positive player? And to keep going back to "we were there, we were ready, we followed the protocols" just comes across as petty and douchey. Not typical for a guy that likes to sale the "good Christian man" persona. It feels like there should be something in the protocols about the travelling team needing to test with enough time to have results before they get no the plane. Feels like a gap in the protocols that the ACC should close although I guess that doesn't matter at this point in the season. And aren't the protocols in place to set up guidelines for what you must do if you don't want to have the game cancelled? They aren't rules in place that say "if you do all these things, you have to play." At some point there has to be some flexibility for where it feels safe of feels like the right thing to do for the players. He must have nice CFP and NC bonuses in that contract. Seems like he thinks he really needs to be able to embarrass FSU for some reason. [/QUOTE]
