anyone with the boxset ever watch the extras. half of the cast is from England, Scotland, etc. Damien Lewis who plays Winter is. I had no idea. Also, the guy who plays Doc Roe from south La. is too. I know they are actors, but it's weird that they are playing American soldiers and then hear them talk in real life. Still an awesome series. I watch it everytime it's on tv.

I knew that Damien Lewis is English and there were a few others, but I didn't know that half the cast was.

I'm not defending Spike Lee because I def don't like him, but you should have asked that veteran the reason why blacks didn't fight, they weren't allowed in most cases because of racism, that is why they were assigned those other duties you listed, but they were small groups in some cases that were pressed or forced white leaders in those cases to make the decision to use them to fight because their white counterparts had suffered heavy casualties, the group called the Tuskgee Airmen being one of them.

oh and I might add they fought with passion and distinction, I guess to prove to their whitecounterparts that they were up to the task, me being a former military man appreciates that.

O yeah. There is no question that race played a role in the situation. There is also no doubt that they did a little fighting, and should have been allowed to do more.

I just think that there really wasn't that much of a reason to cast them because they really weren't that visible on the front lines. It would have taken away from the authenticity if there was a noticeably high number of black African Americans in the war movies... Or if the ratio of black:white soldiers was nowhere near the truth.

I quick call only unless I'm looking for something to pitch on a visit.

The perfect scenario is playing a good rival in weeks 8, 9, 10, or 11, and having all of your recruits at that game. Those weeks are early enough that you don't lose recruits to other teams when they get visits, and late enough that you have the recruits very interested. Blow that team out and you will usually get 6 or 7 recruits that week and a few soft commits.

Doing this will get a minimum of 6 or 7 five stars and up to 14 or 15. Then you can easily find enough 4 stars to fill out the class.

I usually average 10 or 11 five stars and the rest 4 stars. Every once in a while I'll pick up a 3 star when I need it at a position that is hard to fill such as FB, TE, and Center.

The best team to do what I do with is LSU. I've played dynasties with a bunch of different teams and LSU is the easiest to recruit with because one year you have Alabama and Ole Miss at home in weeks 10 and 11 I believe. You can dominate recruiting those years like no other. Then the next year Auburn is like Week 8 and Arkansas is week 12. Usually you won't do as well because week 8 is still a little early to draw a lot of commits.

Oh no. Not this.

I watched it. I think it has some potential too.

I think she said Irving Meyers.

Shouldn't they be looking at teams that are actually worth a shite?

I'm pretty sure that smiley with sunglasses above his name means it was a joke.

Nitro Circus is better

Looks like some of the Aggies really don't care:
