its unreasonable because you were told that he had been trying for 3 years to get it done and had been denied by the governor of the state.

Even before your little diatribe I acknowledged Bear had been trying when I linked the USA Today article.

But if he didn't begin until 1967 (if you're using 3 years before integration actually happened), then Bear already had 3 championships under bis belt.

Wallace would have committed political suicide had he taken Bear on at that time.

This was nothing but a blatant troll thread from the beginning.

No, it really wasn't. The worst thing I've as much as implied is that perhaps Bear should've been a little more aggressive. That's it.

Relax.

I think the OP is underestimating the power Wallace had. The ONLY reason Wallace gave in was because of the Federal govt. but make no mistake, Bear couldn't hold a candle to Wallace as far as power doing that time.
