Fantastic game between NU and MSU. NU with the win in 3OT. Awesome Iowa St knocked TCU out of playoff contention. Houston beating undefeated South Florida was favorable too. A shame Penn St couldn't pull it out against OSU.

OSU is at Iowa next week - let's hope the Hawkeyes can knock them out with their defense. They also have to play MSU and Michigan. My guess is that now they are going to annoint JT Barret the heisman winner and neglect Mayfield for the rest of the year.

How the hell does PSU blow a lead that big in one quarter? Must be all of those dumb white boys on the team who lack discipline and focus. Seriously are there any big time programs that are more loathsome than Ohio State? It's been a decade now since they started a White quarterback for a full season. And the OSU DWF are some of the worst people in the world. OSU football is the state sanctioned religion of Ohio.

Wyoming blowing out New Mexico. Allen looks pretty good, I get why he is viewed as a first rounder. I have seen enough of him this season to believe he is a 1st round worthy prospect. His receivers drop quite a few balls.

The caste system mindset is deeply ingrained into Davie. Gerhart is the best QB on the roster yet because he is white Davie refuses to play him.

If Gerhart wanted to play, he should have gone to one of the many Division I-AA schools. He is not going to get a chance to play qb for one year only at a FBS school when he has no history of qb play at his previous FBS university(Arizona St.)

.....and he should have been a running back......(like it was earlier reported).....
Anyone else with that pedigree would've been handed a job.....
He got f-ed......Would've been nice to see him gain 1000 yards for North Dakota or someone like that.......Hell, why didn't Stanford recruit him???

My guess is because Stanford had Sanders and Love at the time plus McCaffrey and they didn't know if Christian would stay or leave early.

Despite the success of his brother Toby, Coltin Gerhart was never going to be given a chance to start at running back at FBS schools. Coltin doesn't understand this. In this article(http://krqe.com/2017/09/19/gerhart-will-get-his-first-start-as-lobo-quarterback-at-tulsa/), Coltin says "You know I came here as a running back so I didn't think I would start at quarterback for this week". Instead of starting at running back, he is a third-string quarterback at New Mexico. He really seems to have no clue about the caste system.

But he actually could have started at running back..... at many FCS schools or Division 2 schools. FCS schools like South Dakota St., North Dakota St., South Dakota or North Dakota. Or he could have started at the Ivy League schools like Zane Dudek at Yale. According to this website(www.compughterratings.com/FCS/rankings), there are 124 FCS football schools and 169 Division 2 schools(including Minnesota Vikings Adam Thielen's school Minnesota St. Mankato).

There are plenty of schools where Coltin could have played running back. For that to have happened, Coltin would have had to understand the caste system. But he didn't. So a fantastic football player will waste his college years on the bench at the FBS level, when he could have been a star at the FCS or Division 2 level.

Looks like Florida is about to fire Jim McElwain and they think they have cause so they won't have to pay him his 12 million dollar buy out. And it's all because last week he said that he and his affletes have received death threats by some angry DWFs. I don't know if he's making it up or not but it really pissed off the university. It's not like I have any sympathy for McElwain or any caste head coach for that matter. So I don't really care if he's being fired unjustly. I find this whole situation pretty funny.

I think many of the kids do know the score. It's not just the coaches though - it's the whole recruiting complex which has proliferated into several media sites that arbitrarily rank high school players.

In one key respect an awful week overall for white skill players. That West Virginia game was a complete bummer as Grier and Sills couldn't connect. Brutal to watch. Sills has the rest of this season and next to prove he is NFL material and from what I've seen he does show up on 2019 draft lists. He needs to avoid games like yesterday but is still having a terrific season. There were a few positives though. Two caste ridden teams USF and TCU went down as noted above. And also above Wisconsin back up RB Gorshek #37 looked real good. Ironic as Leo mentioned BC's D destroyed Florida State without their "media darling" Landry. Good.
Notre Dame's white O line kicked the crap out of caste ridden NC State's front running defense. Again I have no tolerance for teams without white defensive players. And Miss State a total caste team has a QB Fitzgerald who continues to put up impressive rushing numbers (18-108). Speaking of QB's both Thorson and Lewerke put up big passing numbers in an overtime thriller. NFL scouts are tracking Thorson more and more. He has several white WR's. In addition, mentioned last week LB Pat Fisher #42, who recorded 17 tackles, looks to be a Freshman All American with a great future.
As for the big game there are two things bothering me about Penn State--actually three because I am not keen on their caste coach. First despite S Apke who played brilliantly yesterday, after DE Buchholz went down early apart from a DT they have a lack of white LB's and DE's which is unusual for Penn State. And while electric McSorley and great all around athlete Gesicki are players to root for this team has become ALL ABOUT RB Barkley. I won't deny he is exciting but the media has been going into predictable hyper overdrive and when he ran back the opening kick off and also ran one in early from 30 yards plus I started to get a sick feeling. Then the worm turned. Even though their statistics weren't anything to write home about both Bosa and Sam Hubbard, who Penn State couldn't block, among others were DISRUPTIVE and basically stuffed Barkley the rest of the game. Ohio State won this game because they dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Little known fact Ohio State had a white WR catch a pass---when was the last time Penn State had a white WR of any significance? Also see below a play by Sam Hubbard that reinforces why he is one of my favorite college football players. The word is BEAST.
As mentioned above Zane Dudek ran wild--I managed to miss all of his nifty runs by changing channels at the wrong time. He also caught 4-45 to go along with the not too shabby 25-173 stat line. See below a wild play by "Sudden Sam." Say hello to Sam Heisman boy Barkley.
