Around SBN: New York Giants Super Bowl XLVI Ring Unveiled

The 2006 College Football Blogger Awards: still pending!

by Joel Hollingsworth on Jan 5, 2007 9:02 AM EST

Okay, so I told you there were going to be SNAFUs, and, well, there have. Most of the time variety. But contrary to rumor, Brian is in fact still alive and kicking, and he and I have been diligently working on getting the official nominations for the 2006 College Football Blogger Awards rolled out, but it's proving to be even more work than we anticipated. We have enlisted assistance from some notables you will surely recognize and trust, and so we should be only a few blogging days away from finalizing the official nominee list and announcing it. I am traveling for the next two days, though, so don't count them as blogging days.

Stay tuned. Meanwhile, enjoy the nifty new Snap preview thingy I installed this morning. If you haven't done so already, roll over a link to a site outside RTT. Preview! Snap!

Ahh

Well thank Wordpress for that one. I ain't got no truck with java. It's not natural.

Orange and White game film breakdown

The 1970 game between Alabama and USC has been heralded by many (usually Trojan fans) as the contest which lead to the integration of Crimson Tide football. It's nonsense, of course, but that hasn't stopped that version of the story from spreading by West Coast revisionists.

One reasons Tennessee fans should be disappointed with this sloppy telling of history is that it almost completely discounts a historic game involving the Vols a year earlier.

In 1969, Lester McClain and Jackie Walker (pictured above) started in the Third Saturday in October game and broke the color line at Birmingham's Legion Field (a third black player, Andy Bennett, got into the game as well). Not only that, the Vols handed Bear Bryant's Tide team a 41-14 beatdown that afternoon.

I tell a bit of the tale at Roll Bama Roll today in my scathing review of a book about the 1970 Alabama vs. USC game, One Night, Two Teams.
