This morning, Clemson’s official Twitter account uploaded a video encouraging fans to “Come inside, take a tour & see where some awesome features will go in our new Football Operations Facility.” And trust me when I say that yes, it’s a very nice facility with lots of fancy things.
But former Alabama running back Kenyan Drake had a serious question to ask. So he did.
I'll let y'all finish but where do their championship trophies go though ? https://t.co/zEmTCrzx07

Classic burn.
Alabama beat Clemson by a final of 45-40 in the College Football Playoff title game last season. Although Drake only received one carry for one yard, he had a game-changing, 95-yard kickoff return touchdown in that championship showdown and was an instrumental piece to the Crimson Tide’s offense for four years, rushing for 1,495 yards and 18 touchdowns as a reserve from 2012-15.
He was also quick to admit that he wouldn’t have cracked that particular joke if Nick Saban was still his coach, but that since he’s “just a fan now,” it’s OK:
of course not. That's the beauty of it. I'm just fan now ?

Drake was selected in the third round (No. 73 overall) by the Miami Dolphins during the 2016 NFL Draft.
