I remember when Southern has a white QB.


Grambling had a white QB the same time Southern had Marcus Jacoby. Doug Williams griped and moaned during the entire Bayou Classic about the fact that two HBCUs had white guys as their starting quarterback.

Second man on the list

This is a very good friend of mine, and super nice man, Gary Carlyle.

He played fullback at Alabama A&M during the early 1970's. He later went on to be a coach and principal before retiring a few years ago.

Some interesting facts:

He is a member of the Alabama A&M Sports Hall of Fame.

He was once placed on the watch list for a national atheist organization for refusing to stop prayer at his school (He called it one of the proudest moments of his life).

He kept a picture of his college coach next to a picture of Robert E. Lee in his office.

He is a Civil War reenactor.

He is the former commander of the Alabama Sons of Confederate Veterans.

His stories about going to school and playing at A&M are nothing but positive, and this was during the early days of integration. I imagine his experiences were good because he is an extremely likable person who treats everyone with respect. He is also pretty darn big even in his 60's.
