The Black Kicker
While watching Miami run all over Virginia Tech (what happened Vick?) Jean notices that she can't recall having ever seen a Black place kicker. Of course, a deep discussion follows.

Umm... yeah. Believe it or not, I (we) spent our Saturday night sitting on the couch creating this blog / podcast. After having an exhausting day between the gym and watching Carolina beat Arkansas, we couldn't muster enough energy to do anything other than sit on the couch and do geek stuff.
Back to the Florida Vandy game. With such a close game like that (Florida wins 49-42 in overtime), and considering our winning streak, I’m predicting a Carolina win over Florida.
BTW, feel free to post some NYC stories, since we can’t be there!

I've been trying to find some statistics about black kickers for you guys. apparently, they only keep statistics for black coaches. strangely enough, some HBCs have white kickers. I think XY brings up a good point--you really don't see many black kickers. I wonder what DeBerry would say! Anyone who doesn't know who that is can follow this link.

Let me know if you guys want some more in-depth statistics. I did read that only 4% of college football coaches are black. this is quite a disproportionate number.
