Have the football players always been able to play IM basketball?


Feb 20, 2019, 8:11 PM

Seems this year is the first it has been mentioned on TNET. Maybe it was mentioned before and I did not pay attention?

Yes, I heard Brandon Streeter comment that he played back when he was in school.

They played since I was playing in 1975, Dwight Clark was a great BB player, fuller was pretty good. William Perry was a sight to behold dunking
Bennie Cunningham also played
There were always 4-5 IM teams of FB players

I played against footballers in the 60s. Roughest games I ever played!

Yeah those footballers are always tough. The footballers make a good game though.

Jerry Butler and some DBs were the only real

Competition for Dwight and Steve’s team - which was loaded with a couple of other players could have played D2.

RIP Dwight.

The Tigers signed a parade AA in basketball AND football and he played both sports at Clemson and eventually played for the KC Chiefs. Remember him?

I remember Stan Rome. He was so much faster than anyone he could beat them down court and make a layup. Great talent.

Simple answer is "yes"...

...it's just much more magnified given our perch at the top of the college football world and name recognition of our players. An unfortunate result of success and the fishbowl scrutiny that our players are subjected to now. Good problem to have I suppose. But it is frustratingly silly.

I set a screen on Brian Dawkins back in '96, and let's just say it did not happen again after that.
