Fight On Trojans!!!

I did not get to see the game in its entirety *recovering from a champaigne haze the night b4* but in between commercials and me being comatose I held my two fingers high, shouting in slurred speech “BEAT the Wolverines”.

I did see the end/recaps of the Boise game, and all I could take away from it was that damn proposal. Now I’m not trying to start the New Year as a BBW (Bitter Black Woman) but how cliche is it that the Black football player stands to interview and has the YT cheerleader on his arm. I mean, I understand its Idaho and all, but are there No other Black Women in the state. And if she is lacking pigment, MUST she be a cheerleader?!?!?!?!?! Now I gotta be a hater cause I point out the obvious…Well, as Redman says…”I’ll Be Dat, I’ll Be Dat”

Mmm, girl, tell the truth. I was thinking the same thing, like “who IS this broad all on homies arm?”. VERY cliche. At least it was his girlfriend, and not random cheerleader X…….I guess. But my stomach definitely turned once or twice. Besides, homie is from San Dimas, CA. I know that means nothing to you, but those who know anything about San Dimas will agree that its no a surprise……at all. *sigh* C’est la vie. ~B. Good

Good call on the games. FYI I stole your game pictures. Thanks.

Sooooooooooo am I the only black woman in America NOT surprised by the proposal. Have you SEEN Ian Johnson? It took me half of the game to even realize that HE was black. So not only is he the lightest black man in America, but he lives in BOISE! There can’t be more than 10 black women in the right age range for him in the whole state, and they’re probably just like black women in college everywhere else, trying to get an education, not a football player. Not necessarily sure if that’s the right approach, but hell it’s the one we tend to take.

LOL @ why didn’t you seduce Carson Palmer. C’mon B…Carson? Really? I think we could have found someone else on the team for ya. He may not have had a Heisman, but if he’s still on a roster, who the hell cares )

LOL, I wasn’t really surprised by the proposal. I think I was more surprised that I wasn’t surprised, lol. And “how bout it” to the statement that black women in college are trying to get an education, not a football player. That was my downfall, lol. I shoulda been tryna get a football player; join the Song Girls or somethin’! And what’s wrong with Carson? Perhaps I shoulda just seduced Pete Carroll.

Pete’s a much better choice…Carson wasn’t cute. I dunno he just always seemed big & kinda dumb to me. I guess I’m just more of a fan of the new school Trojan football players (Matt, Reggie, Lendale, DJ) then the old school versions (Carson, Sultan, Mike Williams and nem). You could have at least seduced Troy Polamalu…I would allow that

My vote is for Pete and have Troy as a back up!

Now, for Ian Johnson. The truth of the matter is that I like the kid, met him once or twice. He played football with my younger brother. I don’t blame the proposal to the white cheerleader (although very clichéd) to him being in Boise (while I do agree with Reet, about the quantity of black women in the area).

Let’s keep it real. You are a product of your environment. This kid is biracial (mixed with what, I don’t know, never met his parents), grew up in San Dimas, attended Damien High School and then went to college in Idaho. HE NEVER HAD A CHANCE. And this is something I’ve had to personally come to grips in terms of my brothers.

Ideally, I’d love every strong black, educated male, to find his equally strong, beautiful educated black queen, but that’s just not a reality nowadays.

I just don’t understand why this story received so much media attention? I understand the whole football player, head cheerleader backdrop, blah, blah, blah; but REALLY, WHO CARES? There were much more important stories to discuss, such as, the beat down Michigan received courtesy of our USC Trojans.

For the record, who really cares about the National Championship Game this year? I know I don’t!

LOL, I don’t care about the National Championship either. I think OSU fans and Florida fans are the only ones who care. Actually, maybe its just the players.
