The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, la, la, la, na, na
La la, na, na, la, la, la, la, la"

Welcoming Black players onto the team was obviously the correct the right to do, but what year did they start paying them?
When did they start making chargers?

Chargers came out in 66 so theoretically 66 ;)

Wilbur Jackson signed with Alabama in the spring of 1970. Wilbur Jackson was black.

Yes indeed it is difficult to get bama zealots to understand something when their whole identity, self-esteem and self-worth depend on them not understanding it.

Is that some sort of bot language for "I was wrong"?

Woodrow, I'm going to run up the score on what a disaster you have been in this thread. The first black football player Bryant offered a scholarship to was Bo Matthews from Huntsville and committed in 1969. He actually was a guest of the Alabama team at the 1969 Liberty Bowl but later changed his mind and attended Colorado.

I saw that documentary... Bear knew EXACTLY what he was doing... Luckily the ignorant racists who didn't want any black players have mostly died...

Two years AFTER Auburn. Now move along and please when UAT loses a football game please don't beat your wife. It is a known fact that UAT football defeats lead to an increase in domestic violence.
They started offering scholarships to black players in 1968.
It wasn't that easy to get them recruited back then because of the extra hardships they would be forced to endure.

You are thinking of the 1979 sugar bowl for the 78 season. Uga won the nc in 1980.

How accurate would the old schoolers on here say this is?
Fairly accurate.
I ceetainly don't have issues with it. But I am disappointed that C.M. Newton doesn't get more recognition, and while basketball certainly wasn't as big in the state when Newton got basketball rolling, but in 1974, C.M had the first all black starting lineup in SEC history with Leon Douglas, Charles Cleveland, Rickey Brown, Ray Odums, and Boonie Russell. That was truly groundbreaking, and C.M. only lately has started getting the credit he deserves.

Bear is everything Saban isn’t, (besides an alcoholic), a nice likeable guy that was fearless

Well the people whining about politics in sports back then are the same ones doing it now.
