Los Angeles, Calif. Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017 HEAD COACH CLAY HELTON Opening Statement “Glory to God and bunch of great kids who just refused to quit tonight or give up and just kept on fighting. Credit to coach Herman, I have respect for him and Texas. I’m so glad we caught them early in the season because that team is going to be really, really good. They’re doing some great things and that team will continue to grow. They’ll be a pain in the butt next year when we play them again. A great coach and great squad we played tonight. Credit to our defense, I think for about three and a half quarters played phenomenal, helped us when the offense was struggling keeping us in the game and keeping us ahead. they down the stretch by Sam (Darnold) and Deontay (Burnett), I don’t think I’ll ever forget in my life, the best 2m in drive I’ve ever been associated with. Having to go that far in that little of time, you hope for perfect execution and that’s what you got. The guys were poised, guys that had practice that situation a million times, they knew exactly what to do. So proud of them that when the lights were the brightest they executed. Again, the young man there doesn’t play like a freshman.

  • October 2019
    Abington Senior High School, Abington, PA, 19001 October 2019 It’s October! Th ink Pink! By Rachel Oh Th e start of October signals many things: colder nights, changing leaves, approaching early action/decision deadlines for seniors, and of course, the annual Pink Out football game! Versing Pennsbury this year on October 18th, the night is sure to be fi lled with excitement and is an easy opportunity to express school spirit through a great cause, with a sea of pink shirts swallowing the bleachers and the fi eld every year. Pink Out Shirts, designed by our wonderful Key Club, will be sold during the week of the 18th in Cafe A. However, instead of collecting the profi ts, the Key Club will donate all of the revenue from t-shirt sales to four foundations: Th e Breathing Room, Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, Unite for Her, and Living Beyond Breast Cancer. Th e Breathing Room specializes in supporting and caring for local families aff ected by cancer, while Unite for Her is committed to help women diagnosed with ovarian or breast cancer through free therapy. Living Beyond Breast Cancer provides information and off ers either online or in-person programs to those aff ected by breast cancer, and the Asplundh Cancer Pavilion, associated with Jeff erson Health, is an advanced medical center that personalizes in caring for any type of cancer. From the various missions these foundations strive towards, it’s evident that a $10 shirt can go a long way. Th e game lasts from 7pm-9pm at the Schwarzman Stadium, and it is a fun yet rewarding way to spend a Friday night.

    UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GRADUATE COLLEGE DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS Norman, Oklahoma 2014 DESEGREGATING THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE: RACE AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL IN THE SOUTHWEST, 1947-1976 A DISSERTATION APPROVED FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ____________________________ Dr. Stephen H. Norwood, Chair ____________________________ Dr. Robert L. Griswold ____________________________ Dr. Ben Keppel ____________________________ Dr. Paul A. Gilje ____________________________ Dr. Ralph R. Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.
