I pm'ed Grunt, because again, it's beyond the scope of this thread.

Not sure why I have to reiterate that to you. Actually, it shouldn't be that shocking.

Howard, Morehouse and several non-religious schools have a seminaries too. It doesnt mean that they are christian schools.

Here is another issue about HBCU. We love our schools with a passion. So, when anyone at anytime go after our schools we knuckle up. We are like a big family and our grads play a major role in our communities and society in general.

Some might not remember that in the early to mid-90's the hip hop fashion trend was to wear HBCU hoodies and hats. When you tell folks you went to Clark/Atlanta, Morehouse, A & T, Spellman you get love and respect but we also get "why did you go to a Black College".

So, if some of us come off as sensitive well because we are but it is not to be disrespectful.

This thread just remind me how great it is to be American.

Peace

PS

We are getting a new console football game.

By far the best post in the thread

Who cares about skin color? what difference does it make?

I went to Livingstone College (class of '87) in Salisbury, NC which is a HBCU. Livingstone played in the first, I repeat first football game ever between two black schools. (The other school was Biddle University which now is named Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, NC) I am just glad that I now can play my alma mater in a game without creating them in an EA game. If anyone has ever been to a HBCU game they would know why this game is named what it is. It is an experience!!! I currently live in Dallas, TX now and one of the highlights of the year is the Prarie View vs Grambling game in the Cotton Bowl. A few years ago I took a couple of my co-workers (1 white and 1 black) who both went to predominately white colleges and had never been to a black college football game. They said it was the most fun they have ever had at a football game. And their exact words were "that was one of the best experiences we have ever had!!"
Will the gameplay be up to par with NCAA 10 probably not, will it sell as many copies as NCAA 10, probably not. But what it will do is let gamers who went to these schools have a little fun and remember their college days with enjoyment.
