Ladies and Gentlemen -

After a number of emails from my beloved fans concerning the latest news from around the country and the college coaching world, I feel it is about time that I address the issue of color in college sports.

I know that many of you feel that this is a touchy subject, and I may even lose a number of fans over this article, but it has to be addressed.

Yes, I am prejudiced.
Call me whatever other names you want, but I am most definitely prejudiced when it comes to peoples color or colors as it may be.

I will always gravitate more to people of my own color because we share the same culture and history.
We may not be related by blood, but we are family of the same color.
The people of my color are my brothers, my sisters, my family.

I admit it; I would rather hire someone of my own color over those of another color.
Why? Because I am more comfortable with people of my own color and quite frankly some people of color I simply don’t want around me.
You all know who I am talking about.

I have no respect for people that aren’t proud of their color or colors as it may be.

I am tolerant of some colors and completely intolerant of others.
Sure, I have friends of other colors, but do I trust them completely? With few exceptions, I don’t trust them as much as people of my own color.

I know that some people hate me because of my color and I don’t care.

Please do not think this feeling is limited to my beloved South.
The folks I have met from Michigan and Ohio are some of the most prejudiced people in the world when it comes to color.
You know it too.
And Honestly, I am O.K. with that.

The bottom line for me when it comes to color is simply this:
If you are not Crimson and White, then you aren’t family.

I hope this helped.

Highly touted high school recruit Terrell Pryor finally decided on his choice of where to play college football as he announced yesterday….”University of Ohio State”? What?

That’s funny because I always thought it was called THE Ohio State University.

Note to Self: IF you make people wait an extra month and then have a BIG Ole news conference to announce your decision (Because you are just that damn important) insure you know how to pronounce the name of the college you decided to attend.

As hard as it is to believe….We are still waiting on news (any news) on the NCAA and PAC 10 investigation into Reggie Bush and the University of Southern California.

Let me be the first to offer my help…two words: Map-quest.

Just enter Reggie’s momma’s address (while he was an “amateur” student-athlete) into the appropriate line and BINGO! You have a map to the location!

Then compare the readily available contract from his former sports agent…and Presto!

Glad I could help…and as a side note for the NCAA.
Stop getting your “investigators” from the Aruba Police Department.

Lastly…Evergreen State University..STILL has the most disturbing mascot and fight song in all of collegiate athletics.

You don’t think so?

See for yourself….

As I set here…. I can’t help but wonder whatever happened to the NCAA and PAC 10 investigation into Reggie Bush and Southern California?

Where do they get their investigators? Aruba?
