Last question first. Right hand middle finger for your eyes to see. The color of players has nothing to do with ND football prowess who I have had the pleasure of witnessing for well over 30 years. Now I'm pretty sure that I don't agree with the majority of their parents politics but that don't have anything to do with football and the brand they play. For that matter, I can't stand what a bunch of LSU supporters and fans represent but I like LSU football. I can separate the two unlike some others. That's like saying, I can't compliment Boston when they had Dave Cowens, John Havilachek etc. because they are predominately white and forget about the brand of ball they play. I don't roll that way. I said before the EF game that ND was going to kick their ass not because they were predominately white but because they had the better football team and know the history. When I think of Peabody or White Castle, I certainly don't think of football. :lol: :emlaugh: Basketball yes, football, hell no. Sunday mornings are some of the most segregated hours not only in Louisiana but in America. Notre Dame represents a Catholic School in predominately white Catholic parishes (98% white) that is not recruiting to represent Louisiana, Crowley or Acadia Parish (state parish which is different from a Catholic parish) racial demographics. John Curtis first and last football coach name is John Curtis which is the school's name. ND and JC don't have the same agenda which isn't a news flash. What's the distance between members of the Lafayette Diocese St, Michael, St. Joseph, and St. Francis parish and the parish seat of Acadia Parish?
First, I agree that ND was better coached and had more disciple and that was a key to them winning, They are real good at winning like that. Their style evens out some of the athletic differences. I also agree with your statement "The color of players has nothing to do with ND football prowess".
But your statement about the parish being 98% white is just WRONG, I repeat
WRONG. Acadia Parish is 67% white and 33% black, which is the same at the entire state. They have black athletes available, but they ain't trying to get them.
Now let me elaborate on the point. First John Curtis is recruiting the elite black athlete, which in itself requires work and money, and then they are recruiting against other white Catholic schools in New Orleans that have money also (like Rummel, Brother Martin, Shaw. etc) in addition to the public schools, but they can get kids from all over New Orleans. Now lets take Clinton, it is actually 40% white, but where are the white kids in Clinton?, at Sillman Institute (about 0.2 miles from Clinton High School), You may have never heard of Sillman, because they don't even play in the LHSAA, they play in the MAIS (Mississippi Association of Independent Schools). Most of those white private schools in that area of the state won't play black schools or even be in an association with them. They would rather go to Mississippi and play. But the point is they are not zoned and can get kids from all over, just like ND does, and just like John Curtis does, but they don't have to spend the money/effort John Curtis does. And Sillman being almost all white has nothing to do with Clinton be all white (which it aint) no more that ND of Crowley being almost all white when Crowley
IS NOT almost all white.
But I agree, they (ND) keeps a damn good, well disciplined team that wins. And unless EF steps its game up more, EF will have the better athletes and ND will probably kick they azz again this year, and some will be crying about a call here or there, or the refs or whatever.
Finally, a question, if you pick your nose with your own middle finger, won't you be flipping yourself the bird? Just asking??? LOL!!!!
