Too White to Win (now enhanced with an evolutionary biology lecture!)

[whlinder]

My perception from reading this thread is that I'm the only non-white dude on this board.

Why do you hate @Swaye @RoadDawg55 and @BrickSquad???

@ExtraChrisB - etc. We are a quite diverse group for UW fans (given that centering your life around SEA is a prerequisite on some level for being here and the PNW is one of the whitest places in America.

As a slow-strategy (based on that framework) blindingly white boi from an east-coast public HS which was roughly 33% black 30% latino and 25% white (rest Asian/middle eastern/African/other), the joke when I went to UW/lived in SEA was that if I saw a black person they played for the Huskies/Seahawks/Sonics.

It is definitely true that people are far more creative and innovative when they have limited resources.

Notice any symbolism here- i.e., where we take the group pics of the recruits?

It's also an interesting framework to apply to the old tyme row boat legends. Joe Rantz would without question be considered fast-strategy based on that framework but was someone who reaped the benefits of the stable, supportive environment of Washington Rowing.

@whlinder the worst thing that can happy to anybody is that they get comfortable ... always need an edge

Agree - Rantz's environmental inputs as child would have been Fast Strategy no doubt. Then he goes on to beat Nazis and become a chemical engineer.

It's great, I forgot that this board has a token black, a token native, a token asian. I can see how I fit in as a token latino. It's like I was born to do this. Now we just need a poly man so we can be a truly multiethnical board.

That used to be @OscarZetaAcosta and then @topdawgnc but I think ICE got them both.

What I'm saying is what your seis amigo.

Fucking Trump and his fucking war on Messico.

Been having to lay low ....

You might want to meet our token Latina

@allpurpleallgold

I don't get the joke, but I'll upvote so I feel like a part of group.

Hola amigo! I hear Juarez is hermosa this tim of year!

This is one of the most goddamn fascinating things I have read this year.

Here's a big question, can a black coach do a better job of making the slow strategy approach appeal to black kids? Obviously Bonerpopper and Lake do the best job of bringing in black kids on the staff, but they also recruit the blackest positions. Are they getting black kids because they're black, or because that's the position they recruit? I'm guessing with Lake it's A and Keif it's B. Would a black coach on the DL or LB do a better job getting Fast Strategy kids to buy into Slow Strategy life? Obviously it would have to be the right black coach, but it seems likely the answer is yes.

The next question is how well do poly coaches sell fast strategy to black kids since we have two on our staff and another poised to be promoted?

Final thought - how the fuck did Huff pull Curne from Texas??? That might have been the recruiting job of the year.

I think curne comes from a fairly nice middle class black family that understand what Pete is selling. If curne was from the hood, then a different story. @Tequilla is the high school curne went to in the hood?

Also Mele went to the SLOWEST (richest/whitest) high school in Tucson.

I can make some more points about this at a later date, but just think of it like this... you think a Natty winning team would ever have a picture taken that looks like this?

The solution to our too many white players problem is more Africans. The Africans that are coming to America and giving birth to baller ass children like the Ngata's and Levi's parents are educated with jobs and provide a stable, two-parent living environment for their children. Therefore, it is more likely that African players fit the OKG profile than regular African American's; many of which come from a single parent household and poor background because the government loves to lock up their fathers instead of all the white drug addicts in the suburbs. In short, more Africans equals more black people that fit the program which equals less white people.

Pretty much.

We should set up some sort of, maybe a trade, with the countries of these Africans. We can bring the older ones here to reproduce and make good football players. We can provide the older one with food and shelter in the meantime.

No. We need to send his lazy ass to OSU.

DAMMIT. At least you had the good sense to—to some extent—present blackness. We'll call you a Dolzeal. In a positive way.

Full name is Chris Brown... you’d be amazed how many people’s first reaction is, “but you’re not black?!”

Too bad we didn't get the CB from Bonny this year. When I was a kid I loved Chris Brown who played 3B for the Giants, then the Padres.

The new Chris Brown is not a favorite.

Remembering my conversations with Metrics Superiority guy about the demographic issue and it’s actually the Big Ten who is going to be the most fucked as black migration has reversed and has started to go back towards the south from the Midwest.

And the rich (SEC) will continue to get richer.
