I have to give Colonel Reb a pat on the back as well. He does an amazing job as our college stat guy despite being really busy with school and work. Thanks a million from all of us here at Caste Football.
Luke Lippincott rushed for 187 yards and 4 TDs in Boise State's quadruple overtime win over Nevada.

Thanks Don! I totally forgot about that game. Way to run Luke!
Colin Kaepernick , Nevada's QB for the game, looks like he may be a mixture. He ran for 177 yards and 2 TDs.

i watched the Nevada-Boise State game on the ESPN family of networks, and announcer, "coach" Bill Curry, was atrociously caste in his commentary throughout the game.
Luke Lippincott had a phenomenal game, yet not a single word of praise was to be heard from the mouth of Curry regarding Luke's talents. no, it was always to heap praise on the offensive line whenever Luke made a big play. conversely, when Boise's Ian Johnson made a run, it was all about the newlywed's talent.
two plays clearly stood out in my mind that exhibit this racist dichotomy of commentary.
the first was on a 72-yard Johnson touchdown run down the sidelines. Johnson was CLEARLY caught from behind by Nevada free safety Justin Jackson (a white athlete). Jackson missed the tackle, but then "coach" Curry went on ad nauseum about Johnson's speed and how slow Jackson was, despite obvious video evidence to the contrary. and i quote:
"He just flat-out out ran Justin Jackson the safety from Nevada... Johnson just out runs the rest of the defense of Nevada. Poor angles. Not very good foot speed."
the video evidence, even on second and third replay, showed that Jackson did NOT have the angle, nor did he get out ran. in fact, he sucked up Johnson like a vacuum cleaner, only to miss the tackle.
despite his complete lack of talent, Jackson ended the game with 12 tackles.
now, compare that to Curry's assessment of Luke Lippincott's 32-yard run to start the second half, where the safety CLEARLY had the angle and dragged Luke down by his facemask.
Curry: "Extremely well blocked counter play, and here goes Lippincott into the open field. Does not have great speed. He's run down by Austin Smith."
now then, according to "coach" Bill Curry of ESPN, getting caught from behind means you are faster than the guy who catches you, and being tackled by a man in front of you means you're slow... at least if you are white, anyway.
perhaps that's why he had a losing career record as a head coach.
79 wins, 98 losses, and 4 ties. what do you bet that he didn't have many white men playing running back, wide receiver, or defensive back for him?
for the record, the slower-than-my-dead-grandma Luke Lippincott ended the game 187 yards and 4 touchdowns on 31 carries.

Bill Curry is now one of the worst Caste garden tools out there. I can't stand to hear him announce. Curry didn't like players to dance after TDs, and got into some trouble over it with a black receiver at Alabama. He was a decent coach at Georgia Tech and Alabama, but he stunk it up at Kentucky. He has definitely gone over the Caste end in his behind the mic career. I automatically hit the mute button when I hear his voice at the beginning of a broadcast.

nice article on LippincottLipincott article

it is a VERY eye-opening article, for sure...
after comparing him to Adrian Peterson throughout the piece, it shows just how in-grained the refusal to allow white athletes to play tailback is down near the bottom, when Luke says with his own mouth...
why would a tailback who is
even the talented tailback himself is buying into the perception! NO ONE would ever consider making Adrian Peterson a fullback, so nothing besides skin color would make anyone think of Lippincott as one.

and averages 5.6 yards per carry in a one-back offense even be CONSIDERED as a fullback.

it is halftime of tonight's Louisville-UConn game, and Brock Bolen has been getting a lot of carries from the tailback spot for the Cardinal in a rainy, nasty evening. at the half, he has 9 carries for 40 yards and 3 catches for 28 yards despite the sloppy field.
also, with the passing game struggling so mightily in the poor weather, UConn's athletic dual-threat quarterback Tyler Lorenzen has rushed 7 times for 39 yards.
a special note: Tyler Lorenzen originally signed with Iowa State where they wanted him to play wide receiver, but he transferred to a JuCo then to UConn. he has some really good wheels.

i don't know what happened to Bolen, but in the second half he played with a heavily wrapped left leg. apparently, he got banged up somehow in the first half.
he didn't run with nearly as much speed and agility in the second half, but i hope the injury isn't serious.

ND State Tyler Roehl is running all over Minnesota, his stats so far (8 minutes left in the second quarter!) are: 8 carries for 132 yards, 16.5 ypc and one 77 yard long run for a TD!
EDIT: he just ripped another long run, this time for 69 yards, and his half time stats are: 9-200, 22.2 ypc

Tyler finished with 22 carries for 263 yards and a TD plus 3 catches for 9 yards! Hopefully a real eye-opener for the people of Minnesota.

i attended the Arkansas-Ole Miss game today, and Peyton Hillis just killed people with his blocking and the two very-hyped tailbacks for the Hogs picked up most of their yards running behind him... unfortunately, he didn't get any carries as a tailback.
he did look good catching the ball, though. 4 catches for 60 yards and 1 touchdown. once again, he led the Razorbacks in EVERY receiving category.
he also had 4 carries for 18 yards from his fullback spot.
strangely, it appears that despite the fact he is the Razorbacks' top punt returner, he no longer will be doing any of it. he didn't line up to return a single punt today.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned last week's minor sensation, Luke Lippincott.
Today, he ran 36 times for 241</span> yards and 2TD and caught 4 passes for 20 yards.

from DraftDaddy :
They're damn right to question the move from FB to TB. Question how come he was a FB all this time.
