Why stop there?

They need to make a black vs white game.

Sure, might sound lopsided on the surface, but since the kicker position would be vacant on the blacvk team, I'll take the Fighting Whities.

Sure there's a market for it. I haven't played NCAA Football games or anything so I'm not sure HBCU's are represented in them.

Brilliant idea if they can pull it off, still looks like a work in progress. I know several folks who played ball at an HBCU, I forwarded this link to them, thanks R-Jack.

It's not really a "racial" thing. This years valedictorian at Morehouse is a white dude. There's a few white dudes ballin' at HBCU's too.

So much for "Madden Jinx" from this edition. Ron Mexico is already in jail.

What's 'funny' about that white dude is that his mom is remarried to a black man and he has several black siblings... and yet his family still told him that he'd be better off not going to a black college because, you know, black colleges aren't upper tier enough. What's even 'funnier' is that his roommate went to Morehouse to get the 'black experience' after spending his whole life as the 'only one' in white schools.................. and here he is bunking with a white boy. Talk about circling around the matter of 'authenticity'. If you've never been around other black people, are you more less or equal black as the white boy who's grown up around nothing but blacks? Likewise, if you're hardly ever around other white people, are you more less or equal white as the black boy who's been surrounded by nothing but whites?

Who speaks best on blackness? or whiteness? What happens when either is wrong?

As for the videogame, I think it's a great idea. It's obviously a collector's item, just because it exists. That would be one reason alone to buy it. I like the touch of having the title include a drum major. I also think that historically black colleges and universities should have never been excluded from the 'real' college versions in the first place. But they're excluded in real life, as well.

Shouldn't that be rectified, RJack?
on a short leash, apparently.

Bullshit. It was Morehouse vs. Columbia. Columbia is an Ivy League school. It wasn't because Morehouse wasn't "upper tier" enough.

There's only one trots forum, though.
