I did come back after all. Wow, I must be an idiot.  First off, Forest, you called my first post here total crap. Was that sarcasm, too? If you start off by attacking, don't expect later silly comments to be taken as sarcasm. It just doesn't work that well without some kind of a pointer to the...

SHA, that's why I quit these boards over and over because people want to make it personal. It's supposed to be fun, or why else are we here? Plus, at least be rational and offer something intelligent in return.  This may be my last comment on this and maybe on the board is that the DKR class...

Oh, yeah, I totally agree with you and I detest racism with a passion and it's embarrassing that Texas was the last all white national champions.  But, it is what it is as you said. That all white team just beat everyone they played and that's not their fault that they played in the 1960s in...

That's a total contradiction to what you said earlier about white competition. You can only compete against who you are lined up to play. Those old white dudes played against other old white dudes mostly. Other than Jerry Levias, there wasn't much speed around back then, but they compiled a nice...
