Texas was number 1 and beat number 2 Arkansas in Fayetteville. I don't think Nixon going into a locker room made a difference.



Why'd they say it was controversial then??

Nixon was a football fanatic.

I remember reading Hunter Thompson's account of an hour long limo ride with him where it was agreed upon beforehand that they would not discuss politics/policies.

Thompson was blown away by the President's knowledge and passion about football, and that is literally all they discussed for an hour (according to both men).
