The two best running backs you've never heard of, yet, play for trashy schools on the West Coast, not Oregon or USC who have a total of NO running backs. The first is a guy at Cal Berkeley named Adimchinobe Echemandu (this is real, he's from Africa by way of Hawthorne High in LA). Big, fast, tough and hits a hole like lightning. You may hear about Cal later on in the year. The second plays in the sticks for Oregon State, another team you won't see on TV this year, and his name is Steven Jackson (6'2", 225 lbs) who plays for Oregon State, a team with nothing else. You wonder where guys like Portus and Holmes and a few others come from, it's from the stick schools with programs you've never heard of. Cal is a stick school (not even a team website) with racial problems dating from the 60's and it's unlikely that any coach can win there for long. Every Black there thinks they are being exploited when asked to attend class, although things may be changing since Echemandu did sit out a season due to academics and didn't slink off to some Div II school where he could slide.
Clarett will "win" his case and get hurt within the first six NFL games and that will be it. Bottom line here is that Blacks think education is "white" and have no use for it, til they go on welfare and it's too late. It is amazing at this late date where African Americans WITH educations are rising to the top in many places, these people are called "Toms" and "Aunt Jemimas" precisely because they are educated and successful. That's Black Life.
