Air Force will be on CBSSN Friday night. They are one of my favorite college teams. Penn State also plays on TV Friday as does Cal late night.

Feeling my oats this season as the WR situation has become disturbing.

Worth noting the IVY League kicks off their TV season as Harvard plays Brown on ESPNNEWS Friday at 7:00 EST.

Speaking of the IVY I have been contemplating a thread just for them?

I have little info on Brown at the moment but Harvard features a pair of promising WRs. Junior Jack Cook had a nifty 7 135-1 in their opener. And freshman Cody Chrest had a 6-95-1 stat line.

The star of the IVY last week though was sophomore WR from Penn Ryan Cragun who had a 8-145 stat line in his first start.

Watching Navy.....
Perry Olsen is in at qb for the naval academy.....
He’s a freshman in for the veteran qb Perry (who took over for Abey) that got dinged up..
I’d like to see him be a combo of Perry and Abey.....

Good news: Duke WR Jake Bobo who broke his right clavicle in preseason has now returned and is back in his starting spot.

Dan Chisena sighting! He just caught his first career pass for 40 yards. Hopefully he can continue to make plays when given the chance. He’s 6’3” and has incredible speed, he could be a weapon for Penn State if they let him.

Maryland getting blown out! Remember when after the first 2 weeks of the season all of the analysts and media were hyping up Locksley, the offense and his impact on UMD. Well I think we are seeing that was all a mirage.

Saw the INT by LB Jan Johnson (Penn St) ....But flipping channels missed Chisena catch. Maryland has really stunk it up after the Syracuse win a few weeks ago.

Watching more of the Air Force Force-San Jose St game.... frustrating 1st half for RB Kade Remsberg 13 carries for 47 yards ; but nice 17 yard run was called back/Holding & Fumble on what would have been short TD Run...... earlier in game announcers said He " runs a 4.31"
WR Bailey Gaither made a highlight reel 1st Down sideline catch for 11 yard gain ( 2 - 18 so far)

Duke Punter Austin Parker with the FAKE for a nice 28 yard gain! ...announcers said he "looked like a Running Back"

Looking forward watching the leading Tackler in the Nation ; LB Evan Weaver for Cal...getting more & more media attention. Called a "Throwback" & "Nasty" ...Ryan Leaf compared him to Chris Claiborne back in the day at USC

Thanks Shadowlight for staying on top of the Ivy League...Harvard over Brown 35 - 7 4th qtr

Here is Chisena’s incredible catch, 1st quarter too. He also had 2 other incredible catches but they did not count. Every play he has made has been eye popping but only one has counted.
*Correction* one of the other incredible catches was against Pitt and here’s video of it. This guy can catch anything! Why is he stashed on the bench and relegated to special teams?

Watching the Cal vs ASU Game which just started. The announcers are bragging about Evan Weaver of Cal. He is leading the nation in tackles. The announcers are comparing him to a modern day
Brian Bosworth. You guys need to watch this game. The kid is a bad a** and can back it up on the field. He loves to talk and get in opposing players faces to to beat them both physically & mentally!

Evan Weaver might be the most badass player in all of college football! The crazy thing is he played defensive end in high school and his freshman year at Cal, he was also a stud running back in high school. He’s listed at 235 but he looks about 260, dude is a monster! He should be a top 20 pick in a fair world.

Two things about the Harvard - Brown game, one that Brown has a football team and that it was mostly competent, second that Harvard has a cheerleader squad that looked majority feminine, (don't know if Brown had a cheerleader squad, a noted lesbian school they might not).

I watched most of the game and Remsberg had two chunk yard runs called back. And on a Bailey Gaither obvious catch they took forever to review it. Paranoid perhaps but for a game where I don't recall one black RB chunk yard play being called back referees act like Pavlovian dogs and continue to disrupt skilled white players with half ass holding/chop block/whatever calls. By the way what are the odds Remsberg gets invited to the NFL combine down the road? Not sure about military academy player rules but Remsberg and his obvious blazing speed will be enough to scare away the NFL so my guess is they will avoid inviting him. That would ruin the closely guarded narrative they have been perfecting over the years.

In the Penn State game WR Chisena made a spectacular long sideline catch where it looked to me his foot landed in bounds first but after a long deliberation they said his knee was out. Even the ref in the booth thought his knee was out but it didn't look that way to me at all. When in doubt screw the white skill player seems to be the motto around the league. In a previous game Chisena made a long great grab that was reviewed and nullified as well. Red raider is correct. They keep nullifying his catches.

Keep an eye on #37 S Drew Hartlaub of Penn State who plays on special teams. He is so much faster (4.2 speed) than anyone else on the field it is a joke. He is down there faster than the ball. Is he a good safety? I wouldn't know because they never play him. However my guess is with his supersonic speed if he was black he would have been in the "rotation" already.

Starting QB Sean Clifford, who has some wheels, played his best game to date. Back up freshman Will Levis is one strong athletic looking dude. He scored two TDs looking like a RB out there as his running stat line was 6-38-2. Another Taysom Hill? By the way Clifford's younger brother as mentioned elsewhere is a speedster WR in high school. Wouldn't it be neat if he gets a chance to have his older brother throw him the ball? But Penn State doesn't recruit white WRs? Hum.

Freshman WR Ricky Pearsall of Arizona State came down with a 38 yard catch. I am surprised this caste team is winning but give it some time. Cal is one of those teams that lacks overall talent but obviously LB Weaver stands out.

Harvard has two dynamite WRs but I didn't think they were seniors. But they are and last night Jack Cook had another good game with a 5-79-1 stat line including a nice long TD right before the half.



His teammate Cody Chrest had a 4-42-1 stat line.

Yale watch! They play Cornell today.

I just hope something positive happens with white wide receivers today. I can't take the grimness any longer. Losing hope.

Some nifty match ups today. Ole Miss might rotate QBs which means ( he will play for their baseball team and has MLB aspirations) speedster athletic stud JR Plumlee will see action. But cripes wouldn't you know they play Alabama at Bama. Not a pleasant way to make an entrance.

There are some stellar white athletes in the SEC but most don't see the field much at all although I hope Aubrun WR Will Hastings explodes today.

All purpose freshman Slade Bolden of Bama is a stud athlete and so is back up junior GA LB Nate McBride. Auburn red shirt freshman LB Josh Marsh has spectacular speed but hasn't gotten much of a chance so far this season. There are a few others including Missouri junior WR Micah Wilson ( who used to play QB) and South Carolina's sophomore Jay Urich who also was a QB. Problem is these speedy and athletic guys are not seeing the field.

Speaking of not seeing the field the one player I would love to see out there is Baylor WR redshirt freshman Jackson Gleeson. Runs like a Camaro.

Ohio State is at Nebraska tonight. Northwestern plays Wisconsin and while Bucky's boys have been running all over people so far this season the white NW LBs could show some resistance. Notre Dame has a tricky one against Virginia. Also hoping banged up Michigan QB Patterson plays and shows the country what a great talent he is as they play Rutgers at home. Have to think Michigan is pissed off.

Wondering if the white WR duo (Philips and Cota) from UCLA can build on their great games? Max Borghi will also be in action as they play stingy Utah.


If like me you love stud linebacker play try and catch some of the Utah State game tonight. It will be on CBSSN and David Woodward is a sight to behold.

Excellent breakdown Shadowlight as always. I will be watching Wisconsin of course and keeping a close eye on Buckeyes Vs Cornhuskers. Also try and catch some of Woodward later!

Perfect form tackle by John Torchio ! Wilder and Torchio getting the start at safety this week for UW due to targeting calls last week.

What has been up with Hunter Johnson? He has been terrible this year and it’s effecting the talented white WR’s for Northwestern.

McLane Mannix catches a great fade route for the TD and it’s called back for ineligible man downfield... every time.

White TDs being called back (along with black QB interceptions being called back) have become increasingly common in both college and the NFL. When Christian McCaffrey scored his amazing 76 yard touchdown run last week I was cheering but also tense, expecting to see that yellow flag come flying. Thankfully it didn't.

70 yard TD by Syracuse true freshman TE Luke Benson. He’s listed at TE but he’s also 210 pounds so not really a tight end. He was a 100 meter champion in high school, he ran a 10.8. Keep the man at WR!!

In the 3rd Quarter Riley Lees of Northwestern was flagged for a “potential big punt return while white”. The refs were on top of it though preventing a 50 yarder.

10 years ago, even I would have thought this was just extreme paranoia. But you see a pattern develop enough and its hard to ignore. Its hard to blame cuck coaches from playing gang-bangers when these flags are always thrown for white privilege.

First glimpse of Ole Miss true freshman quarterback, John Rhys Plumlee, looks like a star in the making. Elite athlete.
