    Forget the Titans. Remember the Bulls. Page 1 of 4 Forget the Titans. Remember the Bulls. Last Updated: Thursday, January 8, 2009 | 6:06 PM ET Comments1Recommend25 By Conrad Collaco, CBC Sports Bulls coach Turner Gill, a former star quarterback for the Montreal Concordes, is one of only four black coaches in the 119-team first division of the NCAA. (David Duprey/Associated Press) Finally, the University at Buffalo Bulls will go to the big game. On Jan. 3, the Bulls will take on the University of Connecticut Huskies in the International Bowl at Toronto's Rogers Centre. The University of Buffalo earned the berth with a surprise win over undefeated Ball State in the Mid- Atlantic Conference Championship in early December. But the International Bowl isn't the only football game on Buffalo residents' minds. Many will be thinking about the bowl game that was never played. When you remember the Titans, remember the 1958 Bulls too. They were invited to Orlando to play the Florida Gators in the Tangerine Bowl. The invitation had a catch: the team could play, but their two black players couldn't. Running back Willie Evans and defensive end Mike Wilson were not welcome. The Orlando High School Athletic Association owned the field, and they wouldn't let blacks and whites play together. Racial divides American college football in the south was a whites-only game. In 1962, James Meredith became the first black man to attend the University of Mississippi, and he was ushered in under protest and armed guard. That year, despite death threats, Darryl Hill became the first black football player in the Atlantic Coast Conference, made up of mostly southern teams.
