Black College Football Experience coming in November

Dec 3rd 2007 3:52PM (Joystiq)
yo, i swear most of ya'll are ignorant as fawk!!! As a graduate of the the #1 HBCU in the country, the REAL HU...Hampton University, I am glad a game like this is coming out. Alot of ya'll need to do some research on the history of HBCUs. I went to both a PWI & HBCU, so i've been on both types of campuses. Many black colleges were started right after the civil war ended and when we black folks were not allowed admission into the predominately white institutions. HBCUs have allowed anyone regardless of ethnicity(cuz there's only one race, the human race) to attend. and for people wondering why do we still have hbcus, the same can be said for whey is there still women-only colleges, or catholic schools, or yeshiva universities. and as far the teams go, there are white, hispanic, asian players on the various teams thru out all the different conferences. and like someone pointed out before, its a different type of experience at the games then at, say, a Michigan(and i am a die hard Wolverine fan) game. The bands, the cheerleaders, the dancer girls, the chants from the crowd. You wont understand unless you've been to an hbcu game. and lets not forget about the various classics...Battle of the Bay(Hampton vs Norfolk St), Battle for the Real HU(Hampton vs Howard), Circle City Classic, Music Bowl Classic, Gold Bowl. The rivalries between the hbcus are just as intense as the GA-UF, UMich-Ohio St, Cal-Stanford, etc rivalries. And we dont really have any representation in the EA ncaa games either, so why not create something to rep for the various black college conferences.

big up the real HU...HAMPTON!!!
shake deez!!!
