Watching the CFP Natty game.....

Wait, the thread title got me. I thought it was about the Clemson Bama game. Didn't realize Acie Earl's rap name was CFP Natty.

Tune in, this could just be getting started.

I remember watching this game with my old man. Iowa down 1, 8 seconds to go in Bloomington. Out of a timeout, Acie Earl lobbed a freaking 3. I thought my old man was gonna have a gripper he was so livid. Of course, the Hawks won it, but this was not genius level coaching we were dealing with here.

Arrrgh! That old high school level camera. Felt like you were watching Hickory High in the movie Hoosiers.

I remember that being the lead story on ESPN that night. Two nights later we played Illinois at home. The game was pre-empted, Heidi style, on a Saturday night when then president George HW Bush announced that ground forces were on the move in Operation Desert Storm.

Okay, but if you don't like Ferentz, and you didn't like Davis, then I assume you also didn't like Alford, Lickliter, Fry or Fran sooooo who do you like? What coaches have been acceptable to your standards?

I like Smith. Solid ball player, good kid. But with all due respect, Clemson ain't rolling 3 Brandon Smiths. They have 10 WRs in the NFL right now, including Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins. Ross and Higgins will play in the League. Again, I like Smith, but the talent gap between him and the guys Clemson is rolling out is pretty big.

I wasn't comparing him to Clemson's receivers and made no mention of doing so in my post. That would be stupid. I just said he can get the job done and showed this year that if you throw it to him...he can go up and get it or run it down. When you look at catches and targets...he had a very consistent year...he just didn't see enough targets and some of the throws Stanley made in his direction...were no where near catchable. The previous year, he was dropping the ball...this year was much different.
