Even though he has lifetime eligibility that he granted himself. He has graciously taken pity on college football and just decided to retire to hold up the Earth. 

I believe he is working on the global warming issue as we type.  No worries.

Joiner could be a fun weapon to have. People forget how GREAT Eric Smith was at H Back in 2009. Joiner is much more athletic and has much more potential.

What's amazing to me is that the Equestrian team doesn't even use the same horses all of the time. The horses don't travel except to championship meets and even then there is a draw to level the playing field.

My grand daughter rode at NC State her freshman year and said they drew for the horses they were to ride and then had about 15 or 20 minutes to get acquainted with the horse before starting their presentation.  Kind of like NASCAR putting all the car numbers in a jug and letting drivers randomly pick which car they would drive…..could make for an interesting race.

They all must be 5* horses and coached up.

I did not know that.  Seems very odd.  The bond a rider and their horse has is what usually would set you apart.  Really levels the playing field.

That would make NASCAR more interesting

😁     obviously...but most of these horses are provided by the opposing team.....so probably are just 2* players....

Maybe his head's on a little straighter than ES?  IIRC ES could be his own worst enemy at times.

Faster, in better shape, taller, more agile, better hands, more versatile? ES might be a better blocker, but just look at footage from both of them.

Being an old man, I'm guessing the bottom picture is more relevant.  :)

Absolutely!

I remember him getting into penalty trouble on occassion for maybe being a little too fiery at the other team, etc, but get the ball to him and he made big time plays.

The footage I've seen of Eric Smith is from college football. So it doesn't really compare.

Better hands? Don't remember Smith dropping passes.

Some of those other things might be accurate but they would also be true of tons of guys every year who aren't half the *football player* that Smith was.
