    2017 New Mexico Lobos

    Looks like Gerhart will get the start this Saturday at qb due to concussions to the quotablack and the number two qb.

    Total white starters, just a little down

    I did a quick league wide survey and found about 177 total white starters in the NFL. There are about 38 white starters on defense which is higher than in recent years, but that overall number is right around where it has often been in the last few years. For one season it hit around 190, but...

    2017 NFL Team Write-Ups

    Don, I hope to put up my annual overall white starters in the league with a minimum of description by team like I do some years. Usually its in the 170's total (that's about 5.5 white starters per team), and I believe this year should be about the same. Probably have it up either this week or next.

    The Trump Era Begins

    Have to give credit to Trump for announcing support for Cotton and Perdue's immigration reduction measure. It would take a miracle for it to pass, but nice to see Trump on record as supporting it. Say what you will about the man, that's a huge difference between him and Hillary Clinton or the...

    2017 Syracuse Orange

    Looks like one more white starter, due to black O-lineman out for the year. Sam Clausman or Andejas Duerig will be starting at guard now.

    The Trump Era Begins

    I'm disappointed in Trump going after Sessions. Not over policy, but Sessions' handling of the fake Russia stuff. He should be handling this with Sessions privately, not over Twitter. Its frustrating in that Trump seems fine with Sessions overall actions as AG, but is focusing on his recusal...

    2017 Alabama Crimson Tide

    Deceptive Speed, I'm wondering how secure Holcombe is as an actual starter. Some recent depth chart analysis has him as a top backup at linebacker behind some of Saban's athletes. Would be great to see him actually out there starting, but with any SEC team any time I see a white player on...

    2017 Kansas Jayhawks

    Kansas is one of those teams that should be whiter, and every year I expect improvement. Kind of like Idaho, Northern Illinois or Iowa State, other programs that should be whiter. At least those programs are getting whiter of late, maybe Jayhawks will over time as well.

    2017 Iowa State Cyclones

    That's great that Lanning will be starting LB, and Park takes over as QB. So Park leaves a program with too many good white QB's, goes to one that could use him, and his predecessor finds a spot on defense, whats not to like about that.

    2017 College Football News

    Hey McCaffrey dude, maybe we should just be glad he's allowed to start on D, and wasn't told to bulk up and be an offensive lineman.

    The Trump Era Begins

    Yeah, assuming his mom is really from the Hebrides islands I find the likelihood of her being Jewish about as likely as the Raiders having an all white starting offense this coming season. Michael Anton is another pretty good guy I think in his administration. He's on the National Security...

    The Trump Era Begins

    Not convinced about the Trump Jewish background at this point. If its true that his mom was born in the Outer Hebrides in Scotland I think its pretty unlikely that she was Jewish. Trumps paternal grandmother, maiden name was Elizabeth Christ, which if true doesn't sound like a Jewish name.

    One hundred years since Wilson throws the US into WW1

    So on Thursday it was the 100 year anniversary since President Wilson's awful decision to declare war on Germany. There are many facets of that debacle. One that stands out is how soon he reached the decision for war after the overthrow of Czar Nicholas in Russia. He abdicated on March 15...

    The Trump Era Begins

    I'm wondering how to rank the sabre rattling over North Korea. Is this something the Neocons approve of as well? Wouldn't there be the danger of the US and Trump administration getting too focused on North Korea and then not being as likely to intervene in the Middle East on Israel's behalf?

    The Trump Era Begins

    It is somewhat positive that according to some accounts the reason for Trumps displeasure with Bannon was more personal, petty and non-political. I hope this is so.

    The Trump Era Begins

    I would say we have to take the good Trump and the bad Trump at the same time. Even before his election he would say things like the Iran deal was terrible, he was the most pro-Israel GOP candidate, etc. During the campaign some of his big supporters were Adelson, Guiliani and John Bolton, and...

    2017 NCAA Tournament

    Well, at least one team in the championship game will be somewhat supportable. So often it seems that the finalists, even if they have one white starter he'll just be a role player. With the Bulldogs the white players who play are key contributors and pretty strong dudes as well.

    2017 NCAA Tournament

    Forgot Xavier's win, make that 12-5 against the all blacks. I'm rooting for St Mary's of course, but wouldn't be too sad if Arizona wins as they seem like they could go far in the tourney as well.

    2017 NCAA Tournament

    By my count, in games where an all black starting lineup team has faced a team with one white starter or more, the more white team is 11-5, with Wisconsin contributing two of those wins.

    2017 NCAA Tournament

    Jack, I think Payton Pritchard of Oregon has been starting since mid-season, so at least one less all black starting lineup out there.

    Geert Wilders

    A couple of random thoughts on the election. The VVD, the liberals under PM Mark Rutte I believe in some ways tried to coopt Wilders message somewhat, even though Rutte seems to be a typical euroweenie. Back in 2010 Wilders was actually backing the first Rutte coalition goverment in parliament...

    2017 NFL Draft

    59 non special team white invites for the combine is extra low. Last year it was 72, and similar numbers to that in other years. Bright spots are 5 WR's invited, downside among other things is low amount of tight ends, and D-linemen, and of course DB's.

    Super Bowl LI

    Some random thoughts that haven't been covered yet on last nights great game. Coming back from 25 down required a number of key, coin flip, 50-50 chances to go the Pats way, plus some long shots thrown in. On the drive to get the first TD, the Pats had to convert a 4th and 3. Got it. Then they...
