worth repeating

bear and alabama took their sweet time integrating... prejudice? definitely... racist? it depends

know this... bear could have led integration in the SEC and south - he didn't - his teams of 1960s lost at least one national championship because the tide was all white - undefeated and uncrowned - cannot recall the year

1966. And it wouldn't have mattered. We didn't win it then because of Civil Rights and the entire south. Not just because we weren't integrated at that time. It was hugely political and a statement to the whole region.
