Irrelevant story about those old timey jerseys (i.e. the one he's wearing in the first picture), they always looked like they were tucked in so tight because they had flaps that went under the crotch to hold the jersey on, for example:

More blacks were lynched in Florida than any other state. Did you know that?
And are you saying -- I know you don't think very clearly - that Knoxville was some bastion of apartheid in the 1950's?
Or did similar conditions prevail in other places?

used to work with a guy on that team, Bill Lanter (bottom right). Great guy. Always had great stories about Majors and Neyland -- who was AD at the time.
