[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 402274, member: 2175"] If he was the first black QB in a major Southern football program that at the time was, as they say, storied, then he had more pressure than 90% of us ever experienced, so give the guy some windage. GT was still living, faintly, in the righteousness of being the first major southern (white) football program that competed against a black athlete, Bobby Grier of Pittsburgh in the 1956 Sugar Bowl. Politicians of the time as of today, still, made fools of themselves trying to keep Tech home. [/QUOTE]
