Laura Ingraham Schooled By Benjamin Watson In Deeply Satisfying Fox News Segment
I swear that headline up there is not the result of late night Mad Libs. Patriots tight end Benjamin Watson was on Fox News with conservative shithead Laura Ingraham Monday to discuss a recent article by Jemele Hill. It became clear almost immediately that Watson was expected to share Ingraham’s sneering contempt for Hill’s argument, and when he did not, Ingraham was reduced to blurting out middle-school-grade retorts and awkwardly shuffling Watson off camera. It ruled.
Hill made the case very persuasively for the October edition of The Atlantic that top black recruits should attend and play for historically black colleges and universities, as a way of investing the value of their athletic exploits in institutions that “play an important role in the creation and propagation of a black professional class.” Her case is built on the monetary windfall reaped from athletics by overwhelmingly white schools in the Power Five conferences, largely via the work of black male athletes, and is backed up by eye-popping statistics:
About 30 Division I schools each bring in at least $100 million in athletic revenue every year. Almost all of these schools are majority white—in fact, black men make up only 2.4 percent of the total undergraduate population of the 65 schools in the so-called Power Five athletic conferences. Yet black men make up 55 percent of the football players in those conferences, and 56 percent of basketball players.
[...]
Despite constituting only 3 percent of four-year colleges in the country, HBCUs have produced 80 percent of the black judges, 50 percent of the black lawyers, 50 percent of the black doctors, 40 percent of the black engineers, 40 percent of the black members of Congress, and 13 percent of the black CEOs in America today. (They have also produced this election cycle’s only black female candidate for the U.S. presidency: Kamala Harris is a 1986 graduate of Howard University.)

Bama in trouble early. OL is a disaster and DL can’t get pressure or stop the run

Lol. If only Alabama was actually as bad as their fans pretend. Goal line stop to go into half time 14 points up on the road against a conference opponent....
I get they beat you last time you played, but that was 9 years ago [cough]play 9 conference games[/cough].
Big 10 east is looking like Ohio State and everyone else. With Wisconsin at home I could see them going undefeated this year.
Stanford sucks.

MSU and ASU is an ugly slug fest of defense. ASU hasn't allowed anyone to score in the first three quarters of any game this season. Two missed field goals for MSU

MS does this every year... Alabama can play un-ranked team and he always posts the same note... They have a great team but they wont win the National Championship...

Not a happy night Sparty land.
12 men on the field costs you the tying field goal. ASU with the upset.
And let’s go Huskies!

2019 College Football thread
Not every year but I do post what I think and what I see. Last year lack of depth in secondary and zero pass rush as well as TUA being inconsistent vs good teams I thought they’d lose eventually and they did.
This team is elite at QB and WR but really average or below average everywhere else. OL is plain bad currently. RBs aren’t the same
Kind of backs as in the past. Still no pass rush and ZERO depth at LB where they are playing freshman. Special teams remain an inconsistent mess. They’ll win most games but watch Aggie in College Station as well as LSU at home.
This defense has allowed over 100 yards rushing in 2 of first 3, they once went 6 years and only allowed over 100 3 times. Run game didn’t gain at least 100 on offense for first time in 69 games.
Good team, better than most, but not a complete team by a mile.ROLL TIDE ROLL
