1. my insight is seen in my comments to #4. I just see more what minorities must feel in a situation where they are an EXTREME minority, such as UWO. I think this article puts a white reader into a situation where they haven't been in often, the minority.

2. I think a part of the article that showed detail, i don't know if it is memorable was this pasage "The shirtless blond 19-year-old in shorts stained with sweat kept dropping back to pass, his hands at times so wet it was hard to grip the ball. He was throwing to a friend, working "up the ladder," as it is called, starting with short passes and ending long. "

3. I thought that this detail was very interesting to someone who may not know much about schools like Southern or Grambling State and thier history, a very black dominated history.

"Marcus Jacoby was unaware that if he accepted the scholarship, he would be the first white to play quarterback for Southern University.

And he would be the first white to start at quarterback in the 76-year history of the black Southwestern Athletic Conference. "

4. You often see a story of an athlete who is a minority entering an arena dominated by whites. However, rarely do we here of a story where a white man is the minority. In this case you have a man who not only will attend a black university but be the leader of one of the most respected teams on the campus. This is the same campus where only 5% make up minorities (whites being a minority). I think it offers insight into the struggles and uncomfort blacks feel at times and relates it to a person who has not gone through that, someone who is white. Very compelling.
