How crazy is it to think it wasn't until 1972?

The first Tiger all American in football was Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley, who played at LSU in the 1920s.

Yeah, met him. Wonderful man. I suppose the OP meant African American. Geez. Stop. There have been plenty from every school. Geez, stop.

Technically, yes. Lora Hinton was actually the first scholarship player (1971) but was recovering from a knee injury, so Mike Williams was the first to see action on the football field (1972).

This for me as well. I guess I'm not racist!
Wait...... or does it mean that I am? I always get confused on this issue.

I thought the second "A" was for anonymous.

No. It means you think in terms of sports.

Mr. Tinsley was my math teacher at Tara back in the 70's.

AA = All-American, esp. on a sports-related board
Just say "black" next time, please.

Lora Hinton was the first, Mike Williams was the first to actually play.

Gaynell "Gus" Tinsley,
I remember seeing him at Ben Peabody's Esso on Plank Road when I was a kid. His daughter was my math teacher at Kenilworth Junior High in '75.
