I was resawing some red oak that has been sitting in my woodpile for 2-3 years (shielded from rain completely). Most of what I've resawed has been really nice, but this red oak had a lot of black streaks in it. The streaks aren't coming from the blade, are not soft or susceptible to smearing. The one thing that made this log different than the others was that the end grain had turned dark, whereas the other's were not dark.
