    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 College Football Previews

    Maybe member jacque can write up some more Pac-12 teams? He took the initiative and wrote up Washington and did a swell job so it seems to me he would be a natural to do at least a few more? He is an enthusiastic knowledgeable newer member and has stepped up his participation of late. Thought I...

    2020 College Football Previews

    Just finishing up prep work for two more teams which will bring my total to fifteen. Sounds like a nice number to stop on. Hopefully other members step up and fill in the blanks that Leonardfan leaves open. He has been doing a lot of the dirty work. It only takes abut a half hour or less to prep...

    2020 NFL Week 2

    I discovered I can get a super cheap one day pass so I watched the game. I agree with the above posts Burrow does look good. Two new players showed up some also mentioned above. Browns rookie TE Bryant is a very athletic TE and forms a top flight tag team with Hooper. And their DE Porter Gustin...

    2019-2020 NBA Season

    There is a bit of mystery surrounding the brilliant play of Dragic. I have long been a fan. While he has battled injuries on and off the past few years and he has shown himself to be a very good player in the past his performances of late have been off the charts. Ever since they returned to...

    2020 Wisconsin Badgers

    Thanks Bucky. For kicks I looked around to see what the buzz was around GG? While they all said he is a good "fill in type" the main gist was he doesn't have the look of a starting Power 5 RB. What look? Wisconsin hasn't won a National Championship since 1942. The main reason they have been...

    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 Michigan Wolverines

    I'm trying to read in between the lines. Word is Dylan and his dad were furious the Big Ten announced they were suspending football back in August. But I also think that khaki prick was giving off hints Milton might overtake him. I still haven't figured out how Dylan became a senior so quickly...

    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 College Football Previews

    I know I am not writing previews sequentially and still have East Carolina to write up. But to celebrate the return of the Big Ten I have been working on the three teams I did last year Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State. I don't think too many are lining up to do those schools anyway? Can't...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    That brings the total to three S starter this week including Apke and Smith. I can't find info on Jeff Heath and Clayton Fejedelem who was a scratch last week. They seem like long shot starters. But I want to give people a glimpse into what white DBs are up against. I knew damn well the...

    College Football News

    It is official. The Big Ten is coming back. That's the good news. I am little perturbed it will be a week later than initially thought. So the weekend of October 24th will kick things off and they will play an eight game schedule ( I prefer ten games) culminating in the league championship game...

    2021 NFL Draft

    Excellent job as usual Leonardfan. Yes the back seven defense configuration looks more optimistic than usual. Again getting up to three or four white DBs drafted would be a big win. And a much needed thing. Time will tell. Two small school wide receivers who dream of getting drafted are: Ben...

    NFL News, Rumors and Musings

    Even though I am not as familiar with the Leavitt or Hollister situation it is worth noting they were initially placed on their 53 man rosters. Cripes. But the Bachman release is a real killer. Last year he was on their PS for about half a season. By all accounts he had a terrific camp this...

    2019-2020 NBA Season

    Stephen A. Smith blamed Hayward for all their woes last season. He thinks he is the anchor weighing them down and he has been vindicated ( in a way) up until tonight's game. But if the Celtics continue forward without Gordon it will only give Smith more reason to gloat. So if Gordon does come...

    2020 Rice Owls

    Thanks TwentyTwo. It looked for the world like Texas Tech was going to be one of those white heavy wide receiver teams but sorry Red raider they keep letting me down year after year. Especially if their first game is anything to go by good grief. No the most white friendly receiving corps is...

    2019-2020 NBA Season

    I kept wondering why do the Celtics seem to be playing better without Gordon Hayward? Black togetherness? I could picture Gordon coming back soon a touch rusty and like last year they begin to falter and he gets blamed for it. But they lost a tight one tonight so some of that pressure is off at...

    Sounds like the Big Ten will make an announcement to tonight. Hell if they start up in mid October and unlike the Big 12 and ACC avoid cancellations I tip my hat to them. They laid in the weeds for a spell to see which way the wind was blowing. I can't fault them for that. And after watching the...

    Thanks for the updates fellows. Always informative and I like to hear about Tortu. I like to hear about Alica Schmidt too for entirely different reasons not that I am obsessed or anything. ;)

    What can I say. Five star center Nate Bittle is heading to Oregon. Hopefully not in a towel waving role?
