Cal has never been personally implicated in anything. I am not saying he plays by the rules, but he is at the least smart enough to cheat the right way.
As for the Clausen/Hopson comparison... I completely agree. He was villianized his whole time here by quite a few people. I still say that my comparison of Scotty to Arian Foster is more accurate, but lets not split hairs here. Scotty will be missed more than most people think.
