NDIANAPOLIS, Indiana -- A Facebook rant from a prominent Indianapolis figure was raising eyebrows Friday, Call 6 Investigator Rafael Sanchez reported.
Call 6 Investigators obtained a Facebook posting from Charlotte Lucas in which she appears to write disparaging remarks about minorities. Lucas founded Lucas Oil with husband Forrest in 1989 and currently serves as executive vice president of Lucas Oil Products.
"I'm sick and tired of minorities running our country!" Lucas wrote in the post. "As far as I'm concerned, I don't think that atheists (minority), muslims [sic] (minority) nor any other minority group has the right to tell the majority of the people in the United States what they can and cannot do here. Is everyone so scared that they can't fight back for what is right or wrong with his country?"

WSSU hitting the road to Chowan
MURFREESBORO, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State will play its first true road game of the season today at Chowan. The Rams suffered their only loss so far on Sept. 13, to Valdosta State, in a neutral-site game played in Powder Springs, Ga. — four hours from Valdosta State’s campus.
Today’s game (7 p.m., WTOB 1380) will match one of the CIAA’s top offensive teams, the Rams, against one of the CIAA’s worst defensive teams, the Hawks.
Despite his team’s 25-game winning streak against CIAA opponents, Coach Kienus Boulware said that his Rams aren’t looking past anybody.
“Right now, the conference is still wide open, so you don’t know what to expect,” Boulware said. “Any given Saturday, anybody can win, so we have to have that mentality. The team that makes the fewest mistakes usually winds up on top.”

Aggies Overview: North Carolina A&T heads into a marquee matchup with the S.C. State Bulldogs in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome this week. The Aggies have their sights on winning a conference title but in order to be the man you have to beat the man and for the past 12 seasons the Bulldogs have been on top. In fact, the Bulldogs come into the game the defending MEAC co-champs after winning their fifth MEAC title in 12 years last season. Ahead of a crucial MEAC game, the Aggies ran into some injury problems last week. All-conference running back Tarik Cohen didn’t play last week at Howard. Quarterback Kwashaun Quick left the game in the second quarter and did not return. Punt returner Khris Gardin also left early along with punter Dominic Frescura. What the Aggies do have is a receiving corps that is getting better and better. In the past two games, the Aggies have completed 34 passes. They completed 39 passes over the first three weeks of the season.
S.C. State Overview: S.C. State has been one of the MEAC’s premier teams over the past decade. At the head of all the success has been coach Buddy Pough who into today’s game 11-1 against A&T. Pough, a former Bulldogs player, picked up his 100th career win when the Bulldogs defeated Hampton 17-10 last week at Hampton. Pough accomplished the feat in just 145 games coached. Redshirt sophomore Adrian Kollock and fifth year-senior TeDarrius Wiley have shared the quarterbacking duties this season. Kollock is completing 63 percent of his passes, which ranks him 27th in the nation. He is also averaging 7.6 yards per pass attempt which is the 29th best total in the country. In the Bulldogs’ win over nationally-ranked FCS Furman, Wiley played the whole game and threw for 92 yards and a touchdown. The Bulldogs’ schedule has also included FBS Clemson and FCS nationally-ranked Coastal Carolina. S.C. State’s defense has been spectacular the past two weeks, giving up a total of just 17 points.
News & Notes:
“Coach Broadway and his staff have done a good job of getting that program back to the forefront of our league. They really ought to be 5-0 because they had Coastal Carolina dead to right. They are about as good a team I have seen around here in a while. Both teams are young because they have turned over a good portion of their personnel from last year to this like we have. They seem to be playing very well with some of their new guys and we’re still trying to find our way with ours.”
S.C. State head coach Buddy Pough on playing A&T
“South Carolina State has won something like 12 out of 13 games against A&T, so people ask me if it is a rivalry. I don’t think it is a rivalry when it is one-sided. That’s domination if you ask me. I have a lot of respect for South Carolina State and how they run their program and how they do things. If you look at them on film, they’re well disciplined, well coached and they know what to do on the field. On the other hand, we’re an up and coming program, and we’re getting close. We just need to learn how to win these types of ballgames. One thing I admire about them most is that they have won five championships in the last 12 years.”

Game Preview: Prairie View A&M vs. Jackson State
THE SETUPJackson State wants to keep the momentum rolling.
After grabbing its first conference victory in overtime at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the Tigers (3-2, 1-1 SWAC) hope to build off that win and see progress in their offense. That starts today, when they host the only winless team in the Southwestern Athletic Conference — Prairie View A&M (0-4, 0-3 SWAC).
But the coaches heeded a warning to their players, reminding them of another winless team they faced two weeks ago in Grambling State. Although PVAM and GSU are two different teams and from the West, PVAM returns a veteran quarterback in Jerry Lovelocke, whom JSU didn't face last season because of injury.
The Panthers, who are facing APR sanctions this year, are coming off a 26-20 loss to Grambling.

Alabama A&M ‘scared to death’ of Grambling
GRAMBLING, Louisiana – So much for Grambling’s demise as a football power. In a matter of weeks, Grambling has transformed itself from an 0-3 team to a program that is apparently feared by Southwestern Athletic Conference coaches.Grambling is 2-0 in the SWAC after securing convincing wins over Jackson State and Prairie View A&M.
Now the Tigers ride a two-game win streak to Alabama A&M to take on the Bulldogs in their final contest of a six-game road trip.
“I’m scared to death. Anytime you face Grambling, it’s going to be a tough football game,” said Alabama A&M coach James Spady, who was a Grambling assistant from 2007-09. “They’re riding high. They’re experiencing some success and to be very honest with you, they’re going to be a very formidable homecoming opponent.”
