There is a SERIOUS problem with college football. Here are some interesting statistics I looked up. African Americans comprise 12% of the population in the US. They make up 60% of athletes that play football. In college FBS approximately 30% assistant coaches are African American. And there is less than 10% that are Head coaches. Black players have historically been steered away from positions that are direct lines to high-profile assistant coaching jobs. It’s called racial stacking, when minority groups are disproportionately relegated to lesser roles. The most visible example is black quarterbacks being moved to less-central positions. Data on 1,006 high school football players who did not play multiple positions and went on to power-conference college teams. Of black players who played QB in high school, 62% changed positions in college, per the study. Some moves are in the best interest of players, but only 16% of white QBs changed positions. Researchers found 22% of all players...
I am hoping that Hawg Channel posters can see this and comment without too much trouble.

The free option is at the bottom of the 3 paid options that are side by side
the steps are create a Gmail account linked to your current or a new Disqus ID & then create a Blogger acct & opt to set up a blog - set it up & look for its web address / URL ( copy it ) & then on the Disqus ID you intend to use on the Blog select add disqus to a site scroll down to get started - select I want to install Disqus on my site & enter the blogger URL ( web address ) that Blogger created & then proceed with Disquses instructions it should produce a little app on your blogger site on right side of the the settings editing page which you will need to cut & paste in to make Disqus the default comment software rather than bloggers own on the left side of the page ( I am quoting from memory as I cant go thru it step by step without creating another blog site )
BTW the drawbacks are 1) new pages are created in blogger not Disqus - disqus is merely an attachment to each new blogger page
2) only posters with a Gmail acct & signed up to Blogger can be added as Page Authors to put up new pages - all disqus users can post but only blogger uses can put up pages and only after they send you by mail their Gmail address for you to create an invitation to add them as a Page Author on your blog
3) Blogger pages do not send out invitations , they dont work like Disqus does so I recommend you post all your channel followers a link to the blog & create tag lists to invite posters to any page you create on your bl og
Yes its a big headache creating & running a Blog site unlike Disqus channel ownership & for an elderly tech illiterate like me its time consuming & confusing
God job HA being Johnny-On-The-Spot!!
