    If there was ever a conference that placed black men on the back of a flatbed truck and considered their value for manual labor, it is the SECSECSEC.

    I specifically said no racist crap.

    ...and if the politically correct UW would send a flatbed down to SEC territory and convince athletes only valued for their manual labor to hop aboard the PNW express, I'd be all in. I guess I'm racist that way.

    I'll bet even Ole Piss dials down Johnny Rebel. That's what everyone in this country does. They react and copycat. "Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Everyone is removing it! Ahhh!! We better do it too! Ahhh!!"

    Not sure if I'm disturbed or flattered. I will go with abundance.

    As a southern black man I can tell you this much: I know that the confederate flag is not meant as an 'embracing racial harmony since 1861' design.

    Football and football recruiting did more for integration of southern universities than anything. The schools that held on the longest to the old symbols did the worst in the new SEC. Ole Miss is a great example of that. Their recent rise follows getting the student fans to stop bringing flags to games and stuff like that.

    Billy Bob may not like all Blacks but he loves those NFL D linemen and wide outs. Bama plays a Black QB and its no big deal.

    WSJ: The Game That Changed Alabama
    The game, a 42-21 Trojans rout, couldn't have left a stronger impression on the Alabama faithful. The Trojans gained 559 yards, nearly 300 more than the Tide. Mr. Cunningham rumbled for 135 yards and two touchdowns, and needed just 12 carries to do it. "They were good players," Mr. Cunningham says of the Tide. "By no means am I implying that they weren't. But we were bigger, stronger and faster."
    Alabama's football program first established itself more than 80 years ago, becoming the South's flagship team when it went west and won the 1926 Rose Bowl. The Tide excelled in the Depression years and won three national titles in the 1960s under Mr. Bryant. But the slowness of the South to accept integration started to hurt the Tide, culminating in that 1970 season opener against USC.
    The legend of that night, which has become known as the Cunningham game, has been exaggerated, misremembered, misunderstood and mythologized. Books overstate Mr. Cunningham's yards and touchdowns. Mr. Cunningham is famously said to have done more to integrate Alabama in 60 minutes than Martin Luther King Jr. did in 20 years. Aside from whether he did or not, the quote is alternately attributed to Mr. Bryant and two former assistants. "I've been here 20 years," says Taylor Watson, curator of the Paul W. Bryant Museum in Tuscaloosa, "and I've never been able to figure it out."

    Southerners have always been fond of strong, productive field hands.
