Along with CSU's loss (at home), Virginia beat Louisville handily, giving them their second loss.
Am I alone in losing practically all interest in a team once I find out their QB isn't White?
Am I alone in losing practically all interest in a team once I find out their QB isn't White? Of course I'm happy if I hear whatever White players are on the team do well, but I always think a Black QB is basically an atrociously inferior, forced substitute for the random White dude who would be miles better. Plus Black Quarterbacks are rarely held accountable for their team's failures but given practically all credit for their team's success.
For White QBs who lead a majority Black team it's the opposite dynamic, but still, at least for the QB to be White is the natural order of things.

Riley was the personal choice of the AD, who was canned midway through last season. I believe he wanted Riley to run the program like this and recruit the way he did, basically abandoning the "Nebraska Way". He recruited a bunch of thugs when he was at OSU and it eventually caught up with him...Thanks for the update, Heretic.
As I noted, I used to follow college ball much more closely, until the early part of this decade. Anyhow, I sort of remember Mike Riley being fairly white friendly at Oregon State, kind of like a Mike Leach or Chip Kelly type. Didn't Riley have Mike Hass and Sabby Piscatelli as big stars on his white friendly teams at Oregon State?
Point? As someone who has not followed much last few years, I'm kind of surprised Riley would recruit that way anywhere (even at Miami or South Carolina type schools)....but particularly surprised (shocked) at Nebraska!
Have to wonder if recruiting mostly all-black teams at Nebraska was his choice, or did some "higher up" push him in that direction...perhaps University President or AD?
What kind of ultra lib parents do you have to have to get two last names?
This new generation and all the weird crap.....
