Hey RockyB...You watching South Dakota State??
Freshman QB Mark Gronowski 67 yard TD Run! Looks like a RB ...136 yards rushing on 9 carries early 4th Qtr

WR Jadon Janke 4 TD's last two games; twin brother Jaxon held in check so far 1 catch - 24 yards

North Dakota State had a nice run; they will bounce back in the Fall...just bad for them to play so many games in a calendar year
RB's Hunter Lupke led w 57 yards rushing on 12 carries (from Wisconsin) ; Dominic Gonnela(from FL) 10 carries 46 yards

When games like that have 90% non white carries by the backs, I turn the channel.
I was excited to see the games on tv, hoping to catch Luepke carry....no dice.....

One to keep an eye on - could easily be a safety at the FBS level:

Kennesaw State senior LB Bryson Armstrong entered the NCAA transfer portal.
Armstrong (5'11/205) may not fit the mold of a traditional linebacker based upon his listed dimensions, but don't be fooled: he was one of the best at the FCS level during the 2019 season. Earning second team FCS All-America honors from both the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) and STATS, Armstrong finished that season with 95 total tackles (51 solo, 12 for loss), 3.5 sacks, one interception, three passes defensed, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and one blocked kick. Also the 2019 Big South Defensive Player of the Year, Armstrong racked up 30 tackles (21 solo, 5.5 for loss), 1.5 sacks and one interception in four games this spring.

Thanks for the head's up Leonardfan! Will be interesting to see WHERE Armstrong ends up??

I am just doing some quick look overs at college football rosters for the 2021 season and it looks like Brendan Schooler has been moved back to DB!

I am just doing some quick look overs at college football rosters for the 2021 season and it looks like Brendan Schooler has been moved back to DB!

That is great news, the position he should’ve been playing all along. He should’ve been a 4 year starter at safety for Oregon, his true freshman season was the best I can recall for a power 5 white DB (or arguably Nick Anderson in 2020 especially under the circumstances).

Texas has been a very bad defensive team for years now - I do hope that Schooler becomes a starting safety for the Longhorns this year. Taggart moving him from DB to WR is a pure caste move. Sarkasian does not have a great track record with white athletes either but hopefully he gives Schooler the job based on his freshman year and overall athletic ability.

In some sad news Sam Ehlinger’s brother - Parker who was a LB for the Longhorns passed away a couple days ago.

 

[Bucky]

South Dakota State looking good! Jaxon Janke had a TD catch earlier and now The true Freshman QB Mark Gronowski with a TD catch on a trick play!

*Also good news for Schooler! Very interested to see where Armstrong ends up.

The Buffalo Bulls hired 37 yr old black man Mo Linguist to succeed Lance Leipold, who is off to Kansas after Les Miles got me-too'd this winter. Buffalo's roster was already quite black, so no changes expected there, although maybe Linguist can go for the full 22-skidoo. Linguist was previously the "co-DC" at Michigan, where he'd been for all of three months. He's known for his "recruiting prowess," which means convincing highly-ranked black players to commit. Don't expect Michigan to get any whiter in the meantime, either, although they may bleed off a few high-upside recruiting targets. It's just another monkey wrench for Jim Harbaugh to have to deal with on the hot seat.

 

[Bucky]

South Dakota State Vs Sam Houston State for The FCS Championship! Let's go SDSU Jackrabbits! Clear caste favorite.

Doubt Leipold does anything of note at Kansas, he seems to have adapted well to recruiting affletes from D3 Whitewater to Buffalo. Buffalo with a diversity hire to replace him, classic.

It looks like college coaches are trying to get rid of the few white linebackers left playing in colleges.

Makes sense - blown tackles and blown coverage - now that's upside! Goes hand in hand with the lopsided rules making it easier to play offense.

In all seriousness you would think if players on defense are getting lighter then football would go back to a power running league to exploit the lack of tackling talent so many of these hybrid black athletes posses.

Here’s another Zane Dudek type article.
You guys mentioned Luepke earlier in the thread....
Breaking records running the ball, but the Pu$$y, afraid of blacklash, white coaches and recruiters pass and he ends up a fullback.

Dudek would have been a cult figure at Pitt.

https://www.inforum.com/sports/foot...own-since-Green-Bay-Packers-star-of-the-1940s

Pitt will never play a White running back. There's plenty of local talent like Dudek who are always passed up. Or they're treated like Dustin Picciotti from eastern PA, who tore it up in high school. Picciotti was 6' 3" and 235 pounds and was fast and strong as a bull and a powerful runner, reminiscent of Rob Konrad. The kind of running back who's called a freak of nature at the NFL Combine, the kind of running back the NFL used to automatically want as a three-down back. But Pitt turned Picciotti into a fullback, which is also how the so-called recruiting services -- a vital linchpin of the Caste System -- had him listed. Unfortunately he had some concussions and ended up leaving the program.

Skimmed the article, but it confirms my hypothesis that the boosters/admins blurt out "We want Bamas' results" and then the admin/coaches go out and recruit a team that looks like Alabama and then it all falls apart because they forget the most important part that Alabama probably spends more on babysitting life coaches than most programs. Proving that Saban is a genius and that most of college ball is comprised of donut eating slobs/grifters making a check.

A name to keep an eye if he decides to return to the FCS this fall.

South Dakota State vs Sam Houston State played today. Sadly Sam Houston barely won.

Bummer. Missed the game due to work..At least it was competitive. Word is that Sam Houston QB Schmid has 4.4 speed.

Just came across this player and I was not previously familiar with him. USC DE Nick Figueroa, 6’5” 260lbs senior came to USC from Juco in 2018. In his 2 seasons at USC (started all 6 games in 2020) he has 30 tackles, 9 TFL, 5.5 sacks, 1 FR. Good size player with experience, a 10 TFL season isn’t out of the question for him in 2021!

Luke McCaffery transferring from Louisville already. It was a dumb decision to transfer there in the first place

The boys have been shuffled around so much it’s hard to believe.
You’d think between the talent and the name, they’d be treated like legacies.
Does Ed get too involved?, is the talent level not as high as we think?

They’ve barely played after all of these years.......Best of luck guys.

 

[Leonardfan]

Hopefully he can enjoy a healthy year and have a Jake Funk like final year.

Illinois redshirt senior RB Mike Epstein will return for the 2021 season, his father told the Champaign News-Gazette.
With Epstein (6'0/205) having been limited by multiple injuries throughout his Illinois career, it was fair to wonder if he would take the NCAA up on its offer of an extra season of eligibility. Apparently the redshirt senior has decided to give it one more go, giving the Fighting Illini's running back room a welcome boost with regard to both talent and experience. In addition to Epstein, who can be effective as a runner, receiver and blocker when healthy, Illinois will have Chase Brown, ECU transfer Chase Hayden, Jakari Norwood and Reggie Love as possible options at running back this fall.

Colorado QB Sam Noyer transfers to Oregon St.

[Leonardfan]

Hopefully he is eligible this year. If so I would think McCaffrey has a strong shot at being the starting QB and make a solid impact on the Rice program.

Former Nebraska QB Luke McCaffrey transferred to Rice.
McCaffrey's quest for a starting quarterback job takes him to yet another school, less than four months after he transferred to Louisville after beginning his career at Nebraska. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound redshirt freshman may need a waiver in order to be immediately eligible at his next stop, as the NCAA's change to transfer rules only applies to athletes who are moving from one school to another for the first time. That being said, since McCaffrey never officially suited up for the Cardinals, he may be able to play immediately at Rice.

 

[Booth]

Louisville Head Coach Scott Satterfield claims McCaffery came in wanting to be the starter and after 3 or4 days McCaffery decided it wasn't going to happen there. His father and mother are huge influences on him.

 

[Bucky]

Stupid decision to even consider The Black Birds. Hopefully he'll be eligible at Rice right away.
