The SEC: where even the white kids are fast

 

Welcome to The Mean Lil’ Black and Gold Girl’s most non -PC post yet, courtesy of the Nation of Islam Sports Blog. Everyone saw the (admittedly impressive) performance of Tim Tebow. He was running, gunning, running and running some more, with the occasional pass. And he’s white with a barely qualifying SAT score.  The times, they have a changed!

But this blog does not celebrate the achievements of (f*ck) Florida Gators, except when they come against overrated teams from other conferences which blow. Today, I am here to pay tribute to a Tiger whom has entered legendary status with a undeniably gutsy performance, a young man who is probably sorer than some of my hasher friends (TOM), who has earned a lifetime of free massages and bowls of gumbo, and who is the rarest of commodities these days:  the white running back who is actually a signifcant part of the offense. Coach Les called the plays, but the boys had to make them. And there was no better one play made in Baton Rouge Saturday night than by the one and only Jacob Hester.

From the Nation of Islam Sports Blog:

Jacob Hester: Ode to the White Running Back

In days of yore, you ran free in packs
All over the field, white running backs.

Fast Negro runners with amazing grace,
Slowly began to take your place.

Once there was Riggins and his mohawk,
Now you line up and mostly block.

Slow of foot and without much style,
We watch you try and it makes us smile.

You lower your shoulders and get three yards,
Moving less like backs, more like guards.

They talk of your motor and how hard you compete,
And try not to mention your clumsy feet.

But like the infrequent moon that’s blue,
There are the times you still come through.

At the end of the game; it couldn’t come later,
You drove through the line to defeat the Gator.

Jacob Hester, we will cut you some slack
You aren’t too bad for a white running back.
