Cantrell has received no invites to the all star bowl games so far. He has been a productive player while never being the first or second option in the TTU offense. He is 6'3 220 which is great size for the WR position. I wonder if the combine will snub him as well.

Awesome story regarding Parker! Cool to see Amendola and Gronk showing support to another walk -on that is indeed worthy of being a scholarship player and starter at that!

Texas Tech Defense is an abomination. Kingsburry should be ashamed, he's been a big dissapointment since becoming coach 5yrs ago.

#40 on Tech, of course an upsider with a scholarship . Apparently at one point was kicked off team for armed burglary, but Kliff allowed him back and now he's a Captain for their sorry defense! He's a good kid though..

*BTW Kingsburry has never finished above .500 in Big 12. Maybe that defense has improved slightly but he's clearly got work to do to make Tech more than a 6 win team!

As a tech fan the defense is still bad but the 29 turnovers caused this year has been a huge upgrade from last year plus the emergence of a few good white players! As for Dakota Allen (#40) he actually is a great player and a great kid I actually had a class with him at one point. One of the few bright spots on the defense. I know he’s not what this site likes but he really actually is a phenomenal linebacker!

Haven’t heard much about this guy but Fresno St. sophomore TE Jared Rice had a nice 6-84 stat line during their bowl game. He finished the season 22-388-2, not huge production but a good average per catch and look for him to become a bigger part of this offense the next couple of years along with Josh Hokit!

Louisville vs Miss St. Will feature one pale faced athlete between them. Officially The Coal Bowl!

Why on earth would any white person want to support one of these teams?

Agreed it's insanity! I'm sure the 99% DWFs that makes up both sides will travel well though to support their affletes.

The famous words of 12 gauge Cardale Jones come to mind "we don't play no school!"

I’ll be heading to the Heart of Dallas Bowl today to watch Utah vs West Virginia. Unfortunately Will Grier won’t be in action so we’ll see how well Chugnov can do in his 2nd start. Unfortunately both of these teams have significantly less white guys than they have in the past. Utah only really has Chase Hansen and LB Cody Barton that I can think of off the top of my head and it’ll be exciting to see David Sills in action too, besides him West Virginia has a couple of white LB/DL but that’s it. Hopefully the backup QB can have a good game and turn it into a good one!

I am not home during the week so will miss all the day and most of the early evening bowl games this week. Anything that starts at 8:30 EST this week I will be able to watch though. Thankfully will get to see all of the action on Saturday including all the big Monday games. However I must say so far this bowl season has been no good. Most of the white skill players aren't involved in the action in the least. Case in point. I just looked up the stats of the ongoing WV-Utah tilt and David Sills has zero catches so far. Dylan Cantrell didn't do much in his bowl game either and those are just two examples. This lousy trend needs to turn around and fast. I'll be watching Kansas State tonight but I am not sure WR Dalton Schoen is playing in their game against UCLA who I can't stand.

Agreed most of these bowl games have been atrocious. Tried to watch the WVU game but they are pretty much unwatchable without Grier.

I'll most likely be watching the KST game tonight, they should cruise against UCLA as Rosen isn't playing.

Sack master Sutton Smith is up next against an average Duke team. He has 14 sacks on the year, I'd love to see him pile up a few more!

Iowa Safety Gervase already with an early interception off BCs latest black quarterback!

Announcer/Former NFL D-Lineman Anthony McFarland just said BC's Harold Landry gets all the hype...but it's Junior D-End Zach Allen (6'-5" 285) that is the Best player on Defense. Allen has the look of a Future NFL'er...

BC WR Michael Walker is the Kick Returner

One more chance to watch LB Josey Jewell for Iowa! DB Jake Gervase with the early INT...hopefully stud DB Brandon Snyder comes back healthy next season

Nice thanks for mentioning Allen, admittably haven't heard much about him. Definitely a player to watch!

Iowa's defense is struggling today, guess BC is better than I thought.

White WR alert - Tony Ellison for Arizona.

TE /DE Hood playing as well for AZ. 6'6 260lb athlete had a nice batted pass.

For Purdue Sindelar is having a great game with 3TDs so far.

Ellison 40 yard TD catch to go along with his 29 yard TD...earlier HORRIBLE MISSED CALL as DB hooked him..would have been a Big gain ; if not another TD!
White WR alert - Tony Ellison for Arizona.

Texas LB Hager wearing Tommy Nobis #60

A lot of media on the Drew Lock "Best QB you have never heard of".....Down 21-7 at the Half...get to see this Gunslinger go to work!

Wow Tate is putting on a show for Arizona, Ellison a potential 1000 yard receiver next year? He’s talented and a favorite target of QB Tate. Also would like to see Anthrop get more touches next year, seems like he’s always in but doesn’t get the ball.
