    2018 College Football Week 1

    A real mystery here. Gaither was a superb baseball player who started off last season with a bang and then virtually disappeared. Couldn't tell if he was injured or just demoted. Exceptional speed. And he is only a junior!!

    2018 Michigan State Spartans

    Thanks Leofan. A rugged team not afraid to play white defenders. Tough win last night but as figured LB Joe Bachie played the hero. I like the mobile QB Lewerke. Very exciting player. Keep an eye on DE Willekes. Had a couple of sacks last night and is a terror off the edge. NFL prospect down...

    2018 Ohio St Buckeyes

    Thanks Leofan. Raise your hand if you are an Urban Meyer fan. Anybody? I thought not. Frankly nobody likes him. Arrogant jerk. And Ohio State had a lot more white players before he took his SEC mindset there. He does set up caste teams but we have to be fair. What team has produced 3 edge...

    2018 Kansas State Wildcats

    Thanks Leofan. Right Bucky this is a solid Big 12 program that is preferable to most all of the others in that conference. WR Schoen got injured late last season. Hopefully he can build on his exciting last season. I think he is much better having Thompson as the starting QB. Durham I believe...

    2018 MLB Season

    All good names Carolina. Yelich is part, perhaps a quarter, Japanese. I love Benintendi's smooth swing and all around talent. SS Trevor Story is another star in the making.

    2018 NFL Preseason Thread

    Should have seen this coming. I have never seen a back up QB play special teams unless as a holder until the Saints decided to play Taysom Hill on special teams. Now instead of a dynamic "Michael Vick" like back up who could have been thrust into the limelight if the Saints keep him Hill will...

    2018 MLB Season

    Quiet here on the baseball front. I saw White Sox CF Adam Engel go 3-4 last night and he is batting over .400 the past week. But it is too early to tell if he will stick in the Major Leagues. His current bating average is now at .240 which is not bad for a 26 year old who many fear wouldn't be...

    Mike Trout

    Trout went 2-3 last night with a Home Run. He should surpass 100 runs scored this season despite missing several weeks. About that. For the second straight year Trout has missed a decent chunk of time sliding into a base head first. He even wears one of those stupid looking oversized mittens...

    2018 NFL Preseason Thread

    Rocky I agree it doesn't matter to me as well if Switzer stars with the Steelers or the Raiders. I don't like to see a player tossed around like a rag doll like Switzer. But if it works out I will be happy. But there are two cliffs that have to be jumped over. First he has to make the team...

    2018 Mississippi State Bulldogs

    Thanks Vanilla. Like Free above just when you thought it would be safe to throw this into the garbage disposal they catch you by the ankle with a running white QB and promising young white WR. Usually I have some sense of whether a player has NFL ability but I must admit I can't get a read on...

    2018 Stanford Cardinal

    Thanks 22. During the CM era it was easy to get behind Stanford full hog. Quite right 22 they are a solid program. They have a lot of things in place and the depth chart looks promising. Anytime I see a white CB listed my interest level rises fast. I have two concerns. First this team like...

    2018 Iowa Hawkeyes

    Thanks Leofan. Iowa is that rare team that you can instinctively get behind every year without too much of a fuss. There is usually something to cheer about in Hawkeye land and unlike a lot of programs Iowa is a program that is as steady as it comes. Not everything falls into place. Last year...

    2018 Kansas Jayhawks

    Thanks Leofan. For the life of me a I have never been able to figure out Kansas. How many blacks live in Kansas? Apart from Dineen they do have some white WRs who should see the field but the question is how much? It is the same old follow the yellow brick road to caste land. For every...

    2018 Clemson Tigers

    Thanks 22. 22 captures the essence of what is going on with Clemson. Despite WR Adam Humphries an NFL player who played at Clemson (low key while there to boot) Clemson has traditionally been very caste. Coach Swinney has changed things up a bit and his recruiting patterns suggest a coach not...

    2018 US Open

    Good thing Halep bagged the French Open. Despite a strong hard court season Halep, much like Wimbledon, has been bounced early at the US Open. Good grief. Just another reminder that the women's division is up for grabs. Too bad she was in the same bracket as the Williams sisters. Don't want to...

    2018 NFL Preseason Thread

    I am turning into a gossip columnist with all this preseason speculation. Trying to seek out possible good news UDFA LB Greer Martini might stick with the Packers. The downside? Kyler Fackrell might not stick. Fackrell was a top prospect before tearing his ACL in college. His stock dropped...

    2018 NFL Preseason Thread

    Shocking news. Right if Switzer doesn't stick as their return man this dynamo could be out on the streets. I agree I just can't envision ******* Tomlin carving out WR space for Switzer. More bad news. Titans WR Campanaro has been injured this preseason and reports are the ghastly Titans will...

    2018 NFL Preseason Thread

    Can't catch a break if it landed on us. On the front end, the NFL draft, there has been some positive movement in the WR department. On the back end, when it comes down to trimming the roster to 53 things veer towards the bleak once again. WR Hansen is a clear example. Just an eerie disregard...

    2018 Northwestern Wildcats

    Thanks Leofan. This is more like it!! Fitzgerald is a HC comfortable in his own skin and to his credit he doesn't follow lock step the rules of caste. And this team is damn exciting to boot with a mobile NFL type QB, albeit a torn ACL is always a bummer, and a white friendly receiving core...

    2018 Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

    Thanks La France. Not a team I will pursue but at least they have a pulse, weak as it may be. La France entertaining as always though.

    2018 Illinois Fighting Illini

    Thanks 22. And I look forward to your weekly wrap ups this season. You wonder with this HC if Illinois is a bit like Georgia Tech where some white skill players flash for a couple of more years before the cupboard runs dry? Obviously Epstein, the key player, flashed perhaps NFL type talent...

    2018 Penn State Nittany Lions

    Thanks Leofan. My caste prick meter is pretty keen and Franklin fits the bill. I have been predicting this outcome for years now. With that he deserves some credit for the likes of S Apke--albeit he switched him from WR and TE Gesicki. He also starts a dynamic athletic QB in McSorley. But...

    2018 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

    Thanks Vanilla. Very perceptive point. This has been a caste factory for a long time and Vanilla is probably right that once Stewart and Cottrell are gone expect the same old you know what. I am glad they multi task Stewart because being a WR in an option attack is a lonely job. The main man...

    2018 Miami Redhawks

    Thanks Leofan. A standard MAC team that offers up some interest. A white WR etc. and some white depth at key spots. The MAC is my favorite mid major conference because most of the teams keep their heads above the caste line if only barely but these days we have to take what we can get.

    2018 Michigan Wolverines

    Thanks Leofan. What to make of Michigan? There was that rare moment in time ten years ago when RB Sam McGuffie looked headed for stardom before the bottom fell out. It has been pretty barren since. Michigan has been a down the line caste team for years now. Last year, see posts above, their D...
