Thanks TwentyTwo. If anyone can unearth some optimism out of a team like MISS STATE then it would be TwentyTwo! There are too many blacks on this team. But I will say this. One can understand to an extent that a team like MISS STATE of course will have a black heavy roster. That doesn't...

Since 2005 white starter list was 8,7,8,9,8,8,8,11,10,7 and 6 last year. About 6 this go around. Leonardfan was originally going to do this but he offered it up so I gobbled it up. Tough team to deal with considering they lost the great Winovich and possible starter or at least on the cusp, WR...

I think super fragile is too strong of a term for Aaron Rodgers. Since 2008 he has played pretty much 9 full seasons. Nicked up from time to time but not bad considering. He did miss about half of the 2013 season. And in 2017 he only played 7 games after a Vikings LB illegally drove him into...

Thanks Claimjumper. Caste bad you bet. The worst this season? Apparently not given that senior DE with the TE number of 19 Scott Patchan is getting a starting nod. I vaguely recall seeing him on the field last year but Miami is a team I usually avoid watching at all costs. But this Tate...

Especially looking forward to TwentyTwo's Clemson write up. Claimjumper's Air Force preview is also of some interest because they might feature more white defenders than any other team in the country. Waiting for the Alabama and Washington State write ups as well. Speaking of Clemson they...

Through the past year plus I have graded Laird a bit higher than both AJO and Nall. He reminds me of Rex Burkhead in that he can do multiple things very well. He also has excellent special teams potential. And he has such great character he would be a positive force in the locker room. Trouble...

Thanks Thrashen. Heartening to see athletic FB/HB Vitale sticking around and the emergence of WR Kumerow. Also important for Kyle Fackrell to build upon his break through season last year but I am not certain the Packers brass is all that interested in his development. They annoyingly added...

And yet another reason we have seen a decline in white skilled players at the college level. The bright lights of baseball. Prized 2019 Michigan State WR commit speedster dynamo Jase Bowen opted instead to play professional baseball. How is that going? In 100 at bats in the lowly Gulf Coast...

The Taysom Hill- Lamar Jackson-Trace McSorley triangle. I know Taysom is 28 and Lamar is 22 but as Tom Brady and others are proving more QB's than ever can play into their late 30's and perhaps beyond these days. So they tell us Lamar Jackson is the new face of football. The dynamic fast...

I can't find anymore teams I want to write up. The few I am interested in that haven't been written up have been taken. So I did nine total teams which is a little more than I anticipated. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. There are a lot of tough teams out there which I wouldn't have the...

Thanks Thrashen. Thrashen being our resident Patriots beat reporter and probably the best one out there I feel churlish bringing this up but out of the defenders you mentioned above I would categorize Mike Vrabel as a star. Primarily playing as a LB inside and outside he recorded 9.5 sacks in...

Majority white defense I doubt it. Closest team I can think of is Air Force which could start as many as 6 white defenders including just like Coastal Carolina two white safeties. Claimjumper is scheduled to write Air Force up. [ And thanks Leonardfan for write up]

White starters from 2005 are 9,7,7,10,11,11,10,10,8,7,7,6,and 7 in 2018. This year looks like 6. Like so many teams this year you figure things might look OK until you delve into the details and realize yet another team with a caste glow. That said I sort of like their HC Dave Clawson. He...

Out of sight out of mind. I remember CF posting about him when he was being recruited. One silver lining. One fairly reliable source indicates he is the prime MLB back up so perhaps we will see an actual white person playing defense for the Bulldogs. I guess we have a new "category" for white...

Since they sadly abandoned the women's New Haven Open, which would have started this week, there are no more significant tennis tournaments before the US Open so I figured I would get the ball rolling. On the men's side some intrigue is brewing. We all know about the big three of Nadal...

Couple of preseason games left today but despite a few nice stories all mentioned above like Winovich and Daniel Jones I see storm clouds up above. I saw a little of Patrick Laird's play but I didn't realize how good his stat line turned out. Same with the Chiefs WR Cody Thompson. Are they now...

Excellent write up Leonardfan. There was a time last season where Iowa was starting more white defenders than the entire SEC! So at first glance seeing only two white starters on the above list is disconcerting. As mentioned above they are still loaded with white talent lurking right below the...

Thanks Leonardfan. Rice has high academic standards and historically have featured more white players than the average. No question. Rice would not look out of place in the Ivy League. They have also been a sub par team for ages although they did manage to go 8-5 in 2014. A rare sight. Still...

Thank northwinds. I will try to cheer you up with some sort of fake optimism but this is a caste wall team. Fromm is probably a first round QB pick. I am most interested in the development of TE Woerner. He has untapped athleticism that might finally get exploited this season. But yes this is...

I mentioned sophomore S Drew Hartlaub in my Penn State write up. See below nice article describing his blinding speed. Next mission? Get him playing time!! https://thespun.com/big-ten/penn-state-nittany-lions/drew-hartlaub-penn-state-walk-on-40-yard-dash

I think the "decrease" in white players across the board is a correct observation. I became very irritated while I was writing up Tennessee. I even slipped up on a couple of their two deep white players because I was so agitated sifting through their players I got flustered. I even mistakenly...

A Yankees Dodgers World Series will bring in big ratings but Houston is loaded to the gills. Last night was a little crazy. Bryce Harper who was brought in to save the Phillies hit a dramatic game winning come from behind walk off grand slam moon shot at home last night. He tore around the base...

There is a rumor DE Zach Allen will start for the Cardinals week one but I don't recall seeing him on the field last night? #97. Did I miss him? The Kyler Murray experiment took a step back last night see above posts. Again hard to make big judgements on limited preseason games but it makes...

Just about had a heart attack. Everything is fine. ESPN just had a headline saying "Cousins" has a torn ACL. Turns out it was the basketball Cousins. Speaking of Vikings QB Kirk Cousins I predict this will be the season he reaches superstar status. Tonight should be the debut of WR Andy...

Since 2005 starter list was 9,8,8,9,11,12,8,6,9,13,10,7,9 and 8 last year. This year about 8 but 5 of them are OL. You get the picture. Since this team was "centered" around young black skill players like WR Rondale Moore I instinctively was turned off. The media wouldn't shut up about him. I...
