A guy who knew him once told me that Bear died miserable knowing that it was black people that made him famous.

Black people made him who he was, and he never liked that.

The Bear won hardware. Something 2021 UGA knows nothing about.

Historic defense and nothing to show for it.

I never met him and I don't know but didn't he break the color barier in the SEC?

Why drag this up now? It is a different day and time. People have evolved from their darkest past.

I would guess most in Bears era and his age were a little racist. How alot of them were brought up.

Everyone of that era was basically the same and since everything is racist now, that’s a relative yes, but consider that mountains, space travel, highways, professional fishing, among many other things, today are considered racist.

Bear Bryant left aggie because they told him they would be the last team in the swc to integrate. He told them that's where they would finish and left for Bama.


He wanted to win and knew what was coming and what it was going to take to win.

The guy you talked to don't know shite.

The problem that Progs have these days is a lack of historical knowledge and understanding of context. Willful ignorance.
