Conference expansion, integration, etc. Bear Bryant in all his years had two undefeated seasons...one was against a bunch of whites dudes in 1961 and one was in 1979 where they played zero teams outside the South...no Big 10 teams, no Pac-10 teams

Integration should have happened sooner all over the country - and the overt resistance to integration in the south was obviously shameful. But I always wonder what the hell people are talking about when they ONLY talk about the southern teams. Many of the northern teams that were supposedly integrated had a very small number of black players - a number that was capped by the administrations to keep their teams mostly white.

And FWIW the criticism implies Bama ran up their record against white teams when one of the weird curiosities about his tenure is how poorly he typically fared against some of the all white Texas based teams. The average fan has probably heard about the television fictionalization of the Bama/USC game but it ignores both that Bama won a healthy majority of the games in that series and that they were on the road to integration when a great black player on the Tennessee team a year before performed so well.

And as to your other comment?!?

I mean look at some schedules...the 1979 SEC schedule is one of the worst ever

1979
Auburn - Kansas State, Wake Forest, NC State
Alabama - Baylor
UGA - Wake Forest, Clemson, Virginia
KY - Maryland, Indiana
LSU - Southern Cal, Wake Forest, Rice, Colorado
Tenn - Notre Dame

1979
Arizona - Texas Tech
WSU - Ohio State
Oregon State - KSU
Oregon - Colorado, MSU, Purdue
Cal - Michigan
UCLA - Purdue, Wisconsin, Ohio State
USC - Minnesota, Texas Tech, LSU, ND

Those numbers seem pretty similar - especially if you are talking about the 79 SEC schedule as one of the "worst ever". What's up with that? Whenever I look into one of your claims it seems to always be some half truth or near falsehood. Are you just trolling the whole time? Seems like a waste of time.
