Er, maybe you should step away from whatever you are smoking. The SWC was not intergrated until Jerry Levias broke the color barrier @ SMU in 1967. Blame the existing social mores in Texas @ the time, but not DKR. Royal’s Texas teams were loaded with talent in 1968, 1969 and 1970 with kids that had already committed to Texas and Ballard’s new offense. I knew DKR personally and he did not recruit blacks even after his first NC in 1963 because of outright racial bigotry on a wholesale scale in Texas.
Roosevelt Leaks and Earl Campbell were the first of many blacks DKR effectively recruited to UT because they were comfortable with DKR. Recruiting goes both ways, the recruit has to like the coach, his program, and the environment. DKR succeeded in that manner. Yes,The national championship squad in 1969 was all white, you are correct. Royal had enormous hurdles to over come in the State of Texas and remedied that by actively stepping up to the plate. DKR did a great job as AD in making sure that all of the teams UT fielded had more than enough of qualified, quality athletes regardless of skin color.

You may be a texas grad, but you know nothing of DKR. Ask Roosevelt Leaks and Earl Campbell about DKR and how he did bring black athletes into a prominent role int Texas football. Hint: DKR was at the fore in recruiting blacks to UT. FYI Leaks was recruited from Brenham in 1971 and Earl from Tyler in 1974 went to Texas because of DKR. Earl’s brothers followed Earl to Texas because DKR readily accepted blacks into the UT family. As AD he did even more to integrate UT athletics. Have some actual facts before you take a holier than thou attitude.

What great games those were…..Royal on one side, Switzer on the other…..

‘Hook EM’…..and ‘Boomer Sooner’ too.
