Thanks JC. Coming into this contest I feared Keldrick Williams because I saw dis mug in Crampton Bowl when he was in high school and I remember thinking at that time after about 3 or 4 series "this guy is going to be good". the guy was classic. I enjoyed seeing him run through the likes of JD and Robert E. Lees (esp at the hands of Sidney Lanier, a now black inner city perennial doormat of high school football in south/southcentral Alabama.) given their perennial high school dominance in MGM. Other than that, please beat (APB and then) Southern at all cost.

Tuskegee founder Booker T. Washington came from Hampton University and GSU 2nd president, Ralph Waldo Emerson Jones came from Southern. I believe Booker T. Washington had a hand in establishing several HBCUs throughout the deep south. Booker T. Washington's national park is located in Franklin County, Virginia near Smith Mountain Lake. Some of you graduates of these great institutions need to go there and research this man past.

While matriculating through North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University grad school, my friend, and being an undergrad of Tuskegee University as well as knowing the Virginia (errrrrr, Hampton) ties of Booker T. Washington, I was intruiged with being so close to Virginia/Hampton and had to explore. BTW national park was not a long ride from G'boro so I made the roadie. It was fascinating (especially being a small town/country boy from south Alabama that could relate to the setting there.). It was really a moment of i don't know how to explain it but just connection or whatever. Great to see the honor to Booker T. in Virginia after knowing how sacrid he is in the tiny, obscure, eastern Black Belt region of Tuskegee/Macon County Alabama. Fascinating.

Skegees QB reminds me a lot like SU's. For a moment, I thought we were playing SU again. Comegy said on TV that his coaching staff saw all the games that Bama State played, and those schools that we struggled against, he used a combination of their plays and perfected them against ASU. So, every year TU can sit back and watch until the last regular season game of the year, and try to perfect it against ASU. It was a good strategy, but our coaching staff should have come out with a totally different game plan just for that game. TU's QB is the best I've seen this year with SU's Ricks running a close second.
