1958 UB Team Saluted on ESPN


The best sports story of the weekend was the UB Bull winning the MAC EAST. The best human interest story of the weekend was ESPN's Outside The Lines report on the 1958 UB team that passed up a bowl bid because Florida rules did not allow for whites and blacks to play on the same field. Check out the video story here, and read Eric Neel's followup article here.

Besides the social relevance of the piece, the article includes some neat recollections such as Elizabeth Taylor dedicating the UB dorms and some ultra-cool program covers from the era.
