Actually, it's worse than that. Alabama is 65 percent white and 26 percent black with a 95 percent black football team. It's pathetic.
...I'll just mention a few more RB's in addition to Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy. Glenn Coffey, TJ Yeldon, and BJ Emmons. Lacy and Yeldon ran blazing 4.67 HH 40 times.
Emmons, I especially have hard time with. No one here J probably remembers him. He is from my area of NC. He came on just a couple of years after my son was playing. Saban never even sniffed my son's way as a RB, but recruited and gave Emmons a scholarship. Emmons was nowhere near the RB my son was, but somehow they found him. Emmons washed out after only one year in Tuscaloosa.
BJ Emmons left Bama after his freshman year.
Eddie Lacy was the second Packer to rush for more than 1000 yards in his first two seasons. 750+ yards his third season with injuries building and his fourth year ruined by injuries but had 5+ yards per carry but less than 400 yards. Left the game after another injury riddled season basically.
Glen Coffee left the NFL after one season to become an Airborne Ranger and served his country as such.
some you forgot to mention….Derrick Henry one of the best backs in NFL history.
NAjee Harris, 1000 yards his first two seasons and counting.
Josh Jacobs 1000+ yards in three seasons and 800+ in the other two. All pro numerous years.
Mark Ingram almost 9000 yards in his career so far with three seasons over 1000.
Kenyan Drake has had a solid NFL career.
As I said before, there has been busts and over-rated players from Bama but in no way shape or form can it be accurately said the majority or most have been busts. I would rather not defend the caste system players Bama has produced but nonetheless, it is my home state university. I would rather Bama have the national titles than any of your home state schools especially the grotesquely arrogant big ten schools save Iowa and Wisconsin. Both universities I strongly support and directed several players to back when I coached hs football in Florida and Georgia. HC 9th grade for several years and assisted varsity for 6 years at two different schools before going into private business.
Simply put, I won’t allow the northern haters or haters of other ilk to just blatantly lie. I doubt the bust rate is any different from Bama players in fact, it is likely a better rate of success. Truth be old, Ihave found very little joy over Saban’s run but it was most sat to see Bama best hell out of Michigan, Ohio State and Notre damn especially since Bama was robbed and cheated out of a third National Championship in a row back in 1966. The reasons were primarily jealousy (as we still see today from at least two in this thread), northern bias and northern liberal bigotry.
Alabama was 100% WHITE and undefeated, untied was blatantly cheated because Notre damn and Michigan state were barely integrated and had tied each other 10-10. Bama had won the two previous Championships with all white teams. And dominated Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Neither ND nor Mich state played in a bowl game for various reasons. Bama was voted third and just like in 1860-1861 northern bigots turned against whites in the south. They have nobody to blame for the South brutal dominance today except themselves.
1966 The Missing Ring. When Alabama was blatantly discriminated against for being a DOMINANT ALL WHITE TEAM
Like all of you, I plan and hope for the day when the caste system is destroyed and whites are allowed to succeed or not based upon their merit. Without any doubt, thousands and thousands of whites boys and girls have been forced, tricked or corrupted out of opportunities in athletics over the past 50 years. So personally, I’d rather not continue to point out the successes of non whites and I won’t unless I read nonsensical exaggerations
I’m not sure how much some of you are doing to change it but I definitely use my time to teach and train teens - young men how to break through such barriers via physical and mental strength by Sambo, Strength and Conditioning programs for 6-9 grades, education and outdoor activities summer camps.
I have no doubt some of you are using your time to advance our purpose with your own children and hopefully outside your home too!
As for the Alabama’s demographics…67% white as I said and I guess the 24% is different on this site than another I read.
