"We're not a defense you can minor in."

[August]

Loved this quote by CMC.

“We’re not a defense you can minor in,” Campbell said. “We’re a defense you have to major in with some of the adjustments and what we’ve got to do. It’s been flattering that we’ve got a lot of questions in it. But we’re unique.”

Very cool that National Champion Clemson sent their D Coordinator to Ames to learn more about our system. High praise.

I know these guys are all in the club, but why would we educate these guys? Does CMC draw the line with any coaches on our schedule?

I don't get that, either.
Also, I don't approve of your idea that Clemson isn't on our schedule. We just haven't seen that part yet.

I think it would be naive to think there wasn't a swapping of information here. Heacock probably got to pick Brent Venables brain as well. You'd probably be surprised how much coaches talk during the off season. I mean Fred golfed with Bill Self. You can't tell me they didn't talk a little Xs and Os.

So long as we aren't sharing info with any hoks.

A quick google search confirmed, yeah it happens all the time.

Clemson is a team we will most likely never face, and for the coaching staff its a great way to network. No jobs are forever, and you might need a friend to get you hired at your next school.

True, but if Clemson starts trying to steal our committed recruits we need to draw a line.

Venables: "First get a top 5 recruiting class each year. Then make sure you play in the ACC when FSU is dog crap. After that just do whatever. "

Thought I read Self learned a lot about running a four guard offense from Fred.

Never? We stand as good a chance of playing Clemson as anybody else. You might have missed this, but we played Alabama—and should have beaten them, if a ref could see straight.

Yeah, and then we beat them in Lawrence by isolating their big guard (Svi) on guys ALL DAY

ToE doesn't think they need anything else, they believe they are the center of the college football universe already - they are just waiting for the rest of the world to realize it.

Alabama was a 7-5 piece of **** team the year we played them, Dennis Frachione was their coach, not Saban.
The only way we can ever play Clemson would be in the playoffs or Camping World Bowl, odds are not good either is going to happen. That is the only bowl that represents both the ACC and Big 12.

.... I mean Fred golfed with Bill Self. You can't tell me they didn't talk a little Xs and Os.

Here I thought it was just Fred hitting Self up to give his kid a job.

We played alabama because they werent very good. They are really good now. So is clemson. Probably wont play either.
