Yeah its Wakanda Colorado now. LeBron and DWade both expressing their interest and support in this Black Power Team.
They’ve got a good offense, but they’ll lose a few games. Especially if Defense is going to continue to be in shootouts.
Clemson RB Will Shipley has heated exchange with coach C.J. Spiller. Dabo reacts

I wouldn't say averaging over 7 yards a carry this season is struggling. His career average is 5.6. Clemson as a team is struggling a bit. Shipley played well in the Duke loss and had plenty of touches. There was no use in carrying the ball 20-30 times in blowout wins against Charleston Southern and Florida Atlantic. We'll find out if Clemson has improved against Florida State next week. As long as second string RB Mafah is healthy, Shipley will have to share RB duties. BTW, Shipley had the most carries against FL. Atlantic, 10. Mafah only had 5.
I didn't see this weeks game, so I don't know why Shipley struggled a bit. They probably ran him straight up the middle with 9-10 in the box.

I was gone all day yesterday, got back late and watched a lot of these games deep into the night...Saw the Shipley/Spiller thing. I was just frustrated that he only had ten carries. Lots of our other guys had minimal carries as well,,,,Doing well, but low carries.....Its so easy to root against Colorado now. It’s like Miami U 30 years ago or so. I was checking box scores when I got home of the games I couldn’t record. Cash Jones, as mentioned, getting meaningful carries and cashing in was awesome.
Jack Griese for Virginia got a few carries in game one, but nothing since.
So much for bloodlines.....I keep looking them up. Dylan Laube has been my favorite surprise this year. Hopefully that turns into draft interest.
Haven’t seen him play live yet.....

I see the media, in unison, as always. Has labeled Blackburn’s hit as “egregious”. It seems he’s getting hate from all directions on his hit that took out Hunter. Hunter is out a few weeks now, pobrecito.
Blackburn also had an INT off future Heisman Winner, Shadeur(French for Douchebag). So any promo is good promo, well done Henry! At least DWFs will remember you now.

I hope hope Blackburn
Awesome Stuff TwentyTwo! I appreciate all this.
What the hell happened to that big back out of Wyoming that was averaging 7 yards per carry? Was he injured? I couldn’t find anything online about an injury.
Heres a sweet run by Yankoff! Part of the reason I was against Steele transferring to UCLA besides him , splitting touches was they already had Yankov a big back who I think could be just as good as Steele or any other back on the roster.

In looking at the Clemson highlights, not making excuses for Shipley, but it looks like he ran up the middle most of the time even on his longest carry, 19 yards. Mafah's TD run was an outside sweep.
Mafah is supposed to be the power back.

Blackburn's play was much more frequent in years past, especially in a rivalry game. There are no enforcers in college or NFL football anymore which is part of the reason the players act the way they do.

I just saw an article stating that the vast majority of social media said the Colorado vs Colorado St. Game was fixed according to the fans.
All I'm gonna say about this is that Colorado sure is in the refs pocket and many players for the Rams didn't make an effort on key plays.
There is no way that Col. St. should have lost this game. I can't stand Colorado and their infantile punk coach slimetime.

I agree about how Shipley was run. You have to be creative wtih fast shifty guys. The niners had to learn how to use McCaffrey better. At
first they did the same thing. So part of the blame goes to Shipley and the other half the Off,Coord, & Running Backs Coach.

This members of this site have been fantastic in it's criticism of how Shipley is utilized going back a few years now. Perhaps with the Blackburn play and Shipley's sideline dispute with his position coach former RB CJ Spiller White athletes are finally start to push back against a system which has systematically discriminated against and mocked White athletes for the past 50 years.
Loved seeing Blackburn with the hit plus how he stood over him! The media is out of their mind they don’t like seeing a strong white man laying the wood. But Blackburn sent a message to whites everywhere that it’s ok to play tough hard and not take a backseat

Their are clips of him/it Travis Hunter on social media talking **** during pregame. Hunter probably got what was coming to him and yet the media and NPCs are making him out to be the victim. Microcosm of blacks in society. Sanders the qb is also rich, entitled and privileged (with no self-awareness on top of that). Yet Whites who still watch football are in support of them. It's insanity.

Seriously! If we could win RB & DB, and make WR a little stronger (IMO getting better every year), it would be huge!
Clemson's wide receiver Cole Turner is out for the year with a leg injury. I might be misinterpreting what the fans mean but they seem to be dumping on Shipley for arguing with the coach. Shipley knows that he is not being used the right way to get the most out of his talents. I would not be surprised if he transferred, just my opinion. A lot of nasty stuff was said about his actions.

Blackburn is my nominee for CF player of the year! No one can convince me that Blackburn’s race isn’t playing a role in this overreaction to a hit in a rivalry football game. This is the same media and NPCs who made much less of a deal over Myles Garrett’s assault of Mason Rudolph.

This seems like alot of whining. The 2 players had momentum that set them on a collision course. I think Blackburn did lower his shoulder, which could be construed as ill intent or just bracing himself to not take the brunt of the impact. We've seen blacks headhunt Whites much worse and much more often over the years. These anti-Whites complaining are hypocrites, as always.

Keeping an eye on Jack Griese tonight for Virginia, no carries yet.
Last week he had 2 for 11 yards....
Buried on the depth chart, so much for having a famous name.
