The University wouldn't have funded PEDs for baseball players in that era. Football? Yeah maybe. But not baseball. We led the NCAA in attendance for baseball a few times back then but that program barely covered budget.

My strong suggestion is he didn't juice until he had a few MLB paycheck under his belt. Can I prove it? No. I can't prove a lot of things either but once in awhile I can add two and two.

I may also add, his hyper aggressive (on the mound and in the dugout ) temperament didn't go sour until he was in the league for a couple of years. Back then, that was a good indicator of roid use
ElKabong...I honestly can't see the pro-Clemens point that you are trying to make. If, as you state above, you feel that there indeed was a "good indication" that Clemens was using steroids after being in the league for "a couple of years", then...how can you say that he was HOF-worthy before his steroid use? Do a couple of great years make for a Hall-Of-Fame career?
