Superior Races -- My Experience

Over the past three weeks, I have been thrust into the wild and wacky world of college. This is not just any run-of-the-mill college either. This is Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech is a very prestigious school and will have struggles that not many other schools will have. Tech is one of the best academic schools in the country and fourth in the world in computer science (free plug for that half of my major). Existing at this institute that all colleges face, however, is one issue that all colleges face: race. In my previous blog, I told of Walt's theory of superior races and gave my opposing opinion. Here is a personal experience of mine from the first month I have experienced as a first year yellow jacket...

Looking at the two most recent football games we have played. There is no such thing as a superior race. Once you get on that field, race goes out the window. It all comes down to how hard you trained, how much you want it, and how well you cover your teammate's rear. The video below doesn't exactly address the race issue, but listen to the lyrics. "We've got the perfect option." Now look at the players on the team. Not all are black or white!! There is a good mix of races on the team, as there always will be. That is GA Tech's perfect option: get the best players in the game coupled with the best coach in the game. Race does not matter in sports. It is ALL about how good you are at playing the game.
