I'm SWAC, he ain't SWAC," Robinson said, via ESPN."He's in the conference, doing a great job, can't knock that, got a great team, his son should be up for the Heisman Trophy, I love Shedeur, great player, I love what he's doing for the conference.... But you're not going to come here and disrespect me and my team and my school and then want a bro hug. Shake my hand and get the hell off.
