Race and College Football in the Southwest, 1947-1976
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. -

Titans-Ravens Supplemental Notes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JANUARY 9, 2020 TITANS-RAVENS SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES VRABEL LEADING CHARGE TO SECOND PLAYOFF GAME: Titans head coach Mike Vrabel became the franchise’s sixth head coach in franchise annals to have the team in the playoffs within his first two full seasons. This week he can become the organization’s first head coach since Lou Rymkus from 1960–1961 to win at least two playoff games within his first two seasons. Vrabel is the fourth head coach in Titans/Oilers history to win a playoff game in his first two full seasons. He joins Mike Mularkey (2017 playoff victory), Jack Pardee (1991) and Rymkus (1960 and 1961). Titans/Oilers head coaches in the playoffs within their first two full seasons: First Full Season Postseason Berths Playoff Wins in Head Coach as Head Coach in First Two Seasons First Two Seasons Mike Vrabel 2018 2019 (Year 2) 1 Mike Mularkey 2016* 2017 (Year 2) 1 Jack Pardee 1990 1990, 1991 (Years 1 & 2) 1 Wally Lemm 1966* 1967 (Year 2) 0 Frank “Pop” Ivy 1962 1962 (Year 1) 0 Lou Rymkus 1960 1960 (Year 1) 2 * Mularkey served as interim head coach for the final nine games of the 2015 season.

The conference is again filled with dynamic offenses. This season as a whole, there are plenty of solid teams, but Oklahoma and Texas look to reign supreme. Oklahoma Sooners: The Oklahoma Sooners were blown out in their season finale against Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl last season. With quarterback Landry Jones in the NFL, the quarterback position is wide open between junior Blake Bell, sophomore Kendal Thompson and freshman Trevor Knight. Bell is projected as the starter, but it is unknown what he can bring to the Sooners passing game. In two seasons, Bell was the Sooners goal line specialist and scored 24 career rushing touchdowns. However, he has not thrown for a touchdown. Running back Damien Williams brings experience to the backfield. Williams finished with 976 yards and 11 touchdowns. The Sooners return seven players to its offense, but the defense only brings back four to its unit. The defensive secondary needs a lot of holes to be filled as only junior cornerback Aaron Colvin comes back. Players to watch on offense: QB Blake Bell and RB Damien Williams Players to watch on defense: CB Aaron Colvin and DE Chuka Ndulue 4 Texas Longhorns: To Longhorn fans, last year’s 9-4 record was an ok season, but not a good or great season as it would be for many programs. -
