I haven't seen anything posted about this yet, so I thought I'd make mention of a really cool book that I discovered last night. The Barnes & Noble in Denton is selling autographed copies of The Game Changers by Jeff Miller. The book is described to relate the story of Abner Haynes, Leon King, and the true origins of racially integrated collegiate football in the state of Texas. I can't make an honest recommendation, since I haven't started reading it in earnest, but I was definitely excited to see a book like this on the shelves of a large national retailer. Check out the link below to review a summary from the publisher's website, or stop by and pick up a copy for yourself! GMG!

I just finished reading this book and it should be required reading for any college football fan in Texas - especially North Texas fans.   I arrived at North Texas State College in the Fall of 1960 so I missed the 1959 Sun Bowl team but many of the younger players and all of the coaches were there.  I got to know a bunch of them.   Our world is far from perfect today but it is so much better for many people than it was back then.  We still have work to do but a lot of progress has been made.  Find a way to pick up a copy of this book.   It is worth your time and dollars to get it.

      I can actually see UTEP getting the nod plus someone else (somehow doubt it ll be NMSU). C-USA just found a way forward and now this. Then again, no more UTEP might actually help C-USA build something of an identity that would be more clearly eastern (might then actually change the name too).

      Phil Bennett on Smoaky podcast

      He has. He did a segment with Sanoe. Smoaky called PB who was here in his office, I believe. My understanding is that Smoak still does the Baylor radio and they are old friends. Denton could sure use another radio station. KNTU is now the only radio station in the county to my knowledge.

      USC and UCLA to the Big 10

      Toddling off to bed and at this moment my outcome rankings from most to least likely. 1. B1G adds two more, some mix of Stanford, Oregon, Washington, the Arizona schools or Colorado. I think most likely is Oregon and either Stanford or Washington. PAC-8 makes a hard play to get 8 of the Big XII to defect. If unsuccessful congratulations SDSU, Boise, UNLV and if BYU says no, probably Hawaii. 2. B1G holds at 16, PAC-10 probably isn’t looking to join Big XII and vice versa unless someone gets panicky. If no panic, SDSU and Boise probably get the nod. 3. B1G adds four more. PAC-6 is reeling and Big XII probably just absorbs them unless there’s a big measure of regret in Big XII over expansion.
