Integration has not been kind to the Vols, that's for sure.

I don’t know about the other schools, but Auburn integrated basketball in ‘68 and football in ‘69.

Wow, integration happened later than I thought. smh
the man carrying the football in this photo was an All-American at Syracuse, went into the NFL and set the career rushing yardage record that stood for almost 2 decades, became a Hollywood action star, and retired from football at age 30 - all before the first black football player set foot on an SEC gridiron

You have not traveled much if you actually believe this. I spent 30+ years in the rust belt and the racism there would make Mississippi from the 60's jealous.

The bigots and hate mongers and segregationist pigs in Ohio treated blacks like cattle and less than human for 39 years.
That's a long time to hate.
From the time the first football game was played by Ohio State in 1890 until 1929, THE Ohio State was dominated by African American hating sludge humans who didn't want any of 'dem coloreds on their lily white team.
Shameful.
The sheet wearing clowns had one half white/half black player in 1891 and then one fully black player, Julius Tyler, five years later and then the Klan dominated faculty and leadership of Ohio State decided they didn't want any more of "them Negro's" on the team again until 1929.

fricking neanderthals
For 61 long, desolate, depraved, and lonesome years, the Oklahoma Sooners refused to allow what they termed "blackies" to be members of their precious, white is right, segregated teams.
That's a travesty. The whole state seemed to be eaten alive with bigotry, didn't it? Why were the citizens of Oklahoma and the Sooner teams for all those decades like that?
Was it just who they were?
