I appreciate and respect your approach to this topic.

Thanks my man! Glad to be here.

Certainly understand wanting to defend the history of your school. I feel the same about Alcorn. We (meaning black people) just have to be tactful in how we do so if some folks are ever to be brought around to a full understanding of the significance of HBCU's. My hope is that this game might do that in some ways, assuming it's a good game.

I'm worried that too much time was spent on the band 'Dance Dance Revolution' aspect and not enough on the on-field aspects. But I have to give them props for realizing the importance of these bands in the culture surrounding HBCU football.
