Damn. I keep making that mistake. Note to self -- you are not a I-A football player based on whether you can play at that level during your career. You are a I-A player based on how some people with a commercial interest judge you when you are a junior in high school. Got it.
I wish I didn't have to prove myself to my clients every day, and could just say I got through Yale Law School so don't worry how I perform -- I must be good. Sadly, that doesn't work.
And there it is, how can I mention for the 98689076897th time i went to Yale? Not once were stars or amything about their HS careers mentioned. But as they taught you at YLS, never let the facts get in the way of a good argument.
The point I was trying to make had more to do with the program at that stage then the players. The 03-04 schedules were transition schedules, with 3-4 good 1A teams and a mix of 1AA, and very low level 1A, which was appropriate. Would Brockington have performed at the same level in 08, 09, 10? I'm not sure, which was why I typed "one could argue". Those three words are not a statement of fact, just to clarify.
I'm glad Bellamy had a good day at NC State and I'm thrilled that CB had a good year when many worried about who might carry the rock after the gruesome injury to 44. But any kid can have a good day against a 1A opponent. Here were the stats from the Towson game at LSU - a team many feel ranks slightly above the powerhouse NCState team from 04 that finished the regular season 7-5 --- Grant Enders 12-86, Terrance West 22-79. Which of those are a 1A tailback? Thats the same yardage Bellamy gained against NCState.
Using your words, I could argue neither proved themselves everyday. Bellamy proved himself one day, Brockington proved himself one year. Neither proved themselves everyday.
just added new guys and took off JS.
