Track talk, you hadn't posted about it for a while, guess it was time for useless info we cant use eh rich?
...is a book written by Willie Morris. While it is about Dupree who dazzled the college football world back in the day, it's more about the south. How a big fast black kid was treated and all the problems southerners had with anyone different. Dupree was from Mississippi. The gallant old south, the passionate south. A place where if a black man even looked at a white woman he'd end up hanging from a tree. What was wrong with those people, those southern hicks?
Today the SEC is the best track/football conference in America. Mostly due to the black athletes who no longer have to attend Grambling or Jackson State, now it's Alabama and LSU. What if the south was still keeping blacks out of their schools? Well that wouldn't have happened because as ignorant as those southern hicks were they did realize that without the black athlete they are a non player on the college football scene, Football far more important than race.
When it comes to track the SEC could beat most countries.
The Courtship of Marcus Dupree (courtship-all the schools trying to recruit him, Oklahoma landed him) and a book by James Whitehead called...JOINER...the best books on football, the south and bigotry/racism. That I've read anyway.

Book Description
Publication Date: October 1, 1992
At the time of Marcus Dupree's birth, when Deep South racism was about to crest and shatter against the Civil Rights Movement, Willie Morris journeyed north in a circular transit peculiar to southern writers. His memoir of those years, North Toward Home, became a modern classic. In The Courting of Marcus Dupree he turned again home to Mississippi to write about the small town of Philadelphia and its favorite son, a black high-school quarterback. In Marcus Dupree, Morris found a living emblem of that baroque strain in the American character called "southern." Beginning on the summer practice fields, Morris follows Marcus Dupree through each game of his senior varsity year. He talks with the Dupree family, the college recruiters, the coach and the school principal, some of the teachers and townspeople, and, of course, with the young man himself.
Dupree was actually a running back not a QB.
