    2020 Masters

    Obviously given the time of year you won't be seeing any typical golf rounds ending at 7:00 PM. And I suspect all the pretty flowers and such won't be quite as lovely. That said see below the TV schedule: Thursday 1:00-5:30 ESPN Friday 1:00-5:30 ESPN Saturday 1:00-5:00 CBS Sunday...

    2020 College Football Week Eight

    So this is the big week where the Big Ten ( and Mountain West) jump into the fray. Interesting games abound. But there is a problem. Isn't there always? All the juicy games are packed in during the day but the early evening games aren't much to write home about. I might veer off to watch the...

    2020 College Football Week Five

    Good kick off game tonight as BYU takes on Louisiana Tech. Wide receivers Romney and Milne have been one of the few pleasant surprises so far this season but I can't count how many times I have gotten juiced for spotlight games only to watch everything go flat. Hopefully that won't happen...

    2020 Colorado Buffaloes

    Since 2005 white starters were 10,11,9,9,12,12,14,15,13,7,8,8,7,8,and 6 last year. This year roughly 7. You do enough of these write ups they all start to look the same. Like so many teams these recent Colorado teams have followed the caste blue print as if it's the law of the land. They have...

    2020 UCLA Bruins

    Generally UCLA has averaged 7 plus white starters over the years. From 2016 there were 6,8,3 and 3. This year around 4. A peculiar Power 5 team. Chip Kelly is an enigma. The Poly infusion that Leonardfan has often referenced is quite prevalent here. Kelly's recent recruiting has been a mixed...

    2020 Indiana Hoosiers

    Since 2005 white starters were 11,12,8,9,9,11,10,10,14,9,10,11,9,12 and 7 last year. This year around 5. A second class team. I personally have given this school short shrift over the years. This current team is basically a down the line caste operation. Their recruiting looks like some sort of...

    2020 French Open

    Opening day in Paris and the field will thankfully be fuller than the decimated US Open. US Open champ Osaka however won't be playing. I'm not going to miss her act for one second. I suspect many others feel the same. . Nadal will be here and he has been indestructible. He is the greatest clay...

    2020 College Football Week Four

    The good news is the TV schedule looks a bit beefier than last week. The SEC is starting up but it is still not a knock out week by any means. And once again another key game got postponed. The scheduled noon game between Notre Dame and Wake Forest has been postponed due to COVID cases on the...

    2020 Georgia Bulldogs

    Since 2005 the white starter list is 5,5,5,5,5,6,2,8,7,8,7,4 and 3 last year. This year about the same. Because of a COVID protocol the famous adorable bulldog Georgia mascot won't be allowed on the field. The logic behind this decision completely escapes me. Another team I haven't rooted for...

    2020 College Football Week Three

    A first for me. I cannot ever recall a Saturday with such a lackluster TV lineup. What an awful TV lineup of games. I guess the Notre Dame game and maybe the early Oklahoma State game are the "highlights" if you will but for the second straight week ABC is putting on another caste affair as...

    2020 Nebraska Cornhuskers

    White starters from 2005 are 11,13,11,12,11,13,14,13,8,10,11,11,9,8 and 9 last year. This year around 10. I have always been obsessed with Nebraska. Let's face it. In their state football approaches religious significance. They have been selling out home games since the discovery of...

    2020 Utah Utes

    White starter roll call since 2005 is 11,11,11,8,8,11,11,11,6,6,6,5,5 and 2 last year. This year 4. Above you can clearly see the trend and it is safe to say the Poly infusion has cut into the white starter numbers. Continues to amaze me that white states like Oregon and Utah load up their...

    2020 Ole Miss Rebels

    Since 2006 the white starter roll call reads 3,4,3,4,3,4,4,3,3,2,4,3,4,6 and 1 last year. This year looks like 5. I was anxious to sink my teeth into this team and break down their defense. Ha. These numbers are important. 1-16, 11 strikeouts and a batting average of .063. Those are the...

    2020 Rutgers Scarlet Knights

    Since 2005 white starters are 6,5,8,9,11,8,4,5,4,8,6,6,3,5,and 5 last year. This year 4. HC Greg Schiano returns after leading the team from 2001-2011, Not unprecedented for head coaches to return after a spell though. Kansas State's Bill Snyder returned to the helm after a 4 years absence back...

    2020 East Carolina Pirates

    Since 2006 white starters are 7,6,4,3,9,7,11,7,3,6,6,4,4,and 4 in 2019. This year it creeps back to 5. This is essentially a caste drawn operation through and through despite the recent white WR splurge. They do have a 2021 WR of note coming in with Toler Keigley but I don't expect this team to...

    2020 Ohio State Buckeyes

    Limited info says the last four years the white starters are 3,3,4 and 5. This year 6. Once again expect them to vie for a national title but I was shocked and so were they to learn sixth year WR CJ Campbell was not given an extra year of eligibility. There goes any hope of seeing a white WR...

    2020 Michigan Wolverines

    Since 2005 the white starters are 8,7,8,9,8,8,8,11,10,7,6 and 6 in 2019. This season looks like 7. Michigan is the typical paint by the numbers caste team. Rarely do they veer far off that line. WR Oliver Martin was the rare highly rated WR they brought in but he bolted. That said there are...

    2020 Penn State Nittany Lions

    From 2005 white starters are 8,10,9,8,12,10,8,10,9,10,8,8,8,6 and 8 last year. This year just 5. There was a moment last year when HC Franklin was considering the Florida State job. I was hoping like hell he would take it but it never happened. So he is back and that is terrible news. I have...

    2020-2021 Premier League

    This bumbling American who admits he doesn't understand the nuances of soccer as much as Europeans and Brits is still a big fan. I miss the thrill of sitting in spirited packed bars watching soccer but what can you do? I imagine all CF soccer fans will be rooting most for Chelsea which has some...

    2020 Virginia Tech Hokies

    Since 2005 white starters are 5,5,4,5,6,7,7,7,7,8,7,5,6,5 and 5 in 2019. This year looks like 4. Overall another barren ACC team. Ironic that some of the most caste teams out there will be playing this fall while the whiter friendlier Big Ten sits around picking their nails. Talk about having...

    2020 Lousiville Cardinals

    Since 2005 with one year missing the white starters are 6,5,5,5,6,5,4,4,1,2,1,2,1 and around 3 for 2019. This year 3 too. Like Duke a basketball school first and foremost. Louisville is yet another ACC team that fits into a range of teams summed up by that great Dylan song "Desolation Row."...

    2020 Texas A & M Aggies

    Since 2005 white starters were 8,9,8,7,9,10,8,6,5,4,3,3,5,6 and around 6 last season. This year about 4. I guess the SEC thinks its hip to have all black defenses. This is my 4th SEC write up and still not a honky in sight. Highly touted TE freshman Baylor Cupp broke his foot right before last...

    2020 Auburn Tigers

    Over the years they have averaged between 4 to 6 white starters. Last year was 2. This go around back up to 4. Auburn is usually a big waste of time and they are settling into that once again. Last year offered rare hope with WRs Sal Canella and Will Hastings but things didn't work out as well...

    2020 Alabama Crimson Tide

    White starters from 2007 are 4,3,8,4,5,5,4,5,6,4,2 and it looks like around 3 for this year. Alabama hasn't veered away much from their long standing caste iron ways. Big QB Mac Jones looks like he has NFL talent and filled in seamlessly last season. TE Forristall is also being looked at by the...

    2020 Tennessee Volunteers

    Since 2017 the white starters were 7, 5 and 1. This year probably 1. I can't stand this team. Everything about them reeks of a caste design for living. Every year the media drools over their team speed and athleticism. They neglect to mention their penchant for brainless play. Not to mention...
