  • Anyone want to calculate the percentage of white scholarship players in the SEC?

    Has to be single digits.

          Nine if you count foreign players.

          • It's getting hard not to support K-State with what Tang is doing.

              • It pains me to admit that I’ve watched more KSU games this year than WSU ones.

                  Admiration for Tang for sure. Lot's of good KSU people out there......................., and then a few, it's best to keep one's distance from (True of every base). Cheer for them? Against some teams, that's not hard to do. Support K-State? I can't go that far.

                  • Didn't watch the OU/TCU game, but the box score had some interesting stats. OU's tandem guards of starters Sherfield and Uzan got embarrassed by TCU's Miles and Baugh, so much so, OU played 2 guards (Cortes and Noland) off the bench just as much. Here's the 3 tandems' lines:

                    TCU Miles / Baugh: 55 minutes / 10-15 FG / 3-6 3pt / 13-14 FT / 36 points / 5 assists / 3 TO / 4 steals

                    OU Sherfield / Uzan: 49 minutes / 3-21 FG / 1-11 3pt (1-8 Sherfield) / 0 FT shot / 7 points / 3 assists (all Uzan) / 5 TO / 0 steals

                    OU Cortes / Noland: 48 minutes / 6-11 FG / 3-4 3pt / 1-2 FT / 16 points / 8 assists / 3 TO / 2 steals

                    TCU won 79-52.

                        And yet 10 years ago, someone de-pants'ed him in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. It was so bad that his point guard cried.

                          Legacy hire? AND if not mistaken, his seat HAS been warm at times....

                            IIRC, he’s a TCU grad.

                              A number of reasons for this. Take a look at the baseball, swimming and soccer rosters. Basketball has camps and clubs sponsored in every inner city. If you are talented you will be found. Suburban kids’ parents foot enormous bills to get their kids to the top of the club sports. Most of these kids and their parents never expect to see a nickel of pro money.

                              If MLS were paying for camps and academies and had NBA style salary structures you would see a lot more black soccer players too.

                              100 years ago Jews were highly over represented in boxing in the US. After WWII and the GI bill getting your brains bashed in no longer seemed the best way to make a living. Boring yourself to death as an accountant or dentist or tax attorney did. Fast forward to today: how many Chechen fighters have a chemical engineering path open to them?

                                I haven’t yet but I’m going to start, and I’ve even ordered a KState hoodie. Haven’t worn any WSU gear in over a year. I just have no pride in the product Saal is rolling out.
