Hall of Famer
Zach Masch with the sack!
Jimmy Chitwood said:good call on Greg Ellingson, Riddlewire. i seem to remember some brief mention of him a while back, but he has flown under the radar here. and he really can fly, both on the field and in the air.
i did a little digging, and he had a personal-best 22-6.5 long jump in high school. also, according to this interview, the 6-4 Ellingson says he runs a 4.5 in the 40, but he sure seems to run faster than that on the field.
hopefully, he'll get a chance to show his stuff for the NFL. it'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers he posts at his Pro Day, because it is very unlikely that he'll get invited to the Combine.
Well he did recruit a white kid at b-back, so maybe he is learning. I don't think he had this bad of a season at Navy, yet he supposedly had "inferior" athletes.northwinds said:Great to watch the Falcons beat almost coal black Georgia Tech. I mean seriously GT looks like a team from a "Historically Black College"....Bobby Dodd would be rolling over in his grave. I wonder if it will ever occur to Coach Paul Johnson, when he's out recruiting, that his team was held to seven points and lost to a team that plays 9 white kids on defense........seriously how can somebody's mind work in such a f#cked up way. Way to go Air Force....and I grew up a Georgia Tech fan.....they left me, I didn't leave them.
This is one of the key problems with the caste system that has yet to have a dent put into it. If you look at, say, Rivals top 100 players at ANY position, specifically the "prized" 4 and 5 star athletes, they are almost without exception, BLACK. And if he wants to stay in the good graces of the alumni and boosters, he's better DAMN well bring in a bunch of these kids who are graded by the "best, unbiased scouts"snow said:Well he did recruit a white kid at b-back, so maybe he is learning.

Electric Slide said:I have a very different take on this. I believe is a coach put out a team with 16 white starters and they won a National Championship without black 4 and 5 star recruits, the boosters, supporters, and season ticket holders would not be upset at all. While it's not football, I didn't see any Duke fans last year have reservations about their national title because they're weren't enough black "stars." I think sometimes we overestimate the determination of DWFs in all matters other than their desire to see their team win.

<div>if you are referring to #18, he's not White. that's Micah Hyde, and he's a really light-skinned brother.</div>
