Least excitement I've had for a game since Ty was here.

I agree with most of what you said in this post @Dennis_DeYoung except for the "two black parents" shit. That colorism shit is taking it too far. Look, the truth is the mixed kids have taken over West coast football. The vast majority of the best black players are mixed. Even the Asian players that we are starting to see make it to the D1 level that UW is all over are mixed. It's just the way it is these days out here where there's less racism.

Now, I'm no anthropologist or biologist but I've heard racial mixing produces offspring that have more genetic diversity which has the potential to create even better athletes. Taylor Rapp is not Taylor Rapp if he's full white or full Chinese. He's the athlete he is because the mixture of the two makes him a better athlete. Then you can look at guys like Blake Griffin, Aaron Gordon, Zach Lavine, and Russell Westbrook in the NBA. They are the most explosive players in the sport and they're all mixed. There's really no reason to think the "dark skin" players with two black parents are on average better athletes especially on the West coast. Is Black Beast any less of an athlete because he's half white? No, and perhaps he's a superior athlete BECAUSE he's half white.

However, I must admit. I too once wanted UW to look like Bama with nothing but a bunch of dark skin black players on both sides of the ball. But now that I've seen a serious lightening of the West coast football talent pool in recent years, I now realize that that is never going to happen. Just look at how few elite players are available on the West Coast who have two black parents in this class. Joe Ngata, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Drake Jackson, Stephon Wright, Taj Davis, Cameron Davis (maybe?), Isaiah Foskey, maybe five or so more not on UW's radar and THAT'S IT! Those are the only ones and UW is recruiting almost all of them. What more do you want?

Based on what I'm observing it appears there was a massive drop off in West coast black men impregnating black women combined with a huge spike in black men impregnating white women in the late 90's and early 2000s (Petersen era West coast talent pool). Prior to that, there was less West coast racial mixing (Sark era West coast talent pool). Unless this trend reverses (it won't), it is likely UW's roster will be mostly mixed black kids followed by Poly's, then whites, then full black kids during the Petersen era.

Petersen is not white washing this team and he's not avoiding recruiting dark skin black players. He's recruiting the best West coast talent available and most of them happen to be mixed. Next season Jake Browning, BBK, Tevis Bartlett, and Jake Wambaugh will all be gone. Then who will you complain about? All the annoying, boring, no-swag-having, less-talented, try-hard white guys will be gone and replaced by guys like Jacob Eason and Jackson Sirmon.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry UW football teams will never again look the way you want them to. I'm sorry they'll never be dark enough for you. I'm sorry they'll never look like your favorite UW teams from the 80's and early 90's. I'm sorry white women love black cock and the new generation of West coast elite athletes are mostly mixed. But you must move on and get over it.

Now, if you want to see some bad ass dudes who play with emotion, passion, and energy instead of emotionless, boring white guys, look no further than all the Poly dudes UW is recruiting. They will bring the emotion and the swag back.
