It isn't the attitude Dids is saying he has a problem with (correct me if I'm wrong). I love this show too btw. Dids is saying that Smash's words are those of someone who doesn't realize the best way to play in the NFL is to go to Miami, Florida St., UT, Ohio St etc etc. Like Dids said, they're writing Smash as a basketball player who is hyped enough to be a synch draft pick regardless of injury when in football this simply isn't the case. If Smash was a 7'0 big man he could go to SMU and still be drafted after one season, whereas in football he has to at least go for 3 years and even then if he doesn't put up in NCAA he won't be drafted. I think most of these kids are well aware of how the system works.

I think especially in a town like this in Texas where recruits are taken from the high schools in the league every season to play at big D1 schools there's enough information out there that the coaches and parents would have enough influence to have him thinking along the lines of going to Ohio St rather than in the NFL at 21 regardless of where he goes.
