Buffalo Plays For The Team That Stood Up To Racism

1958 Buffalo squad earned a trip to the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, but the team turned it down because their two black players would have to stay home. Now, a much improved Buffalo team gets to play in its first bowl game, the International Bowl, with not only black players, but a black head coach, Turner Gill.

Gill, 45, is one of four African-American coaches at the major college level. Under his three-year guidance, Buffalo Bulls have defied expectations. Gill recently signed a contract extension in Buffalo after being courted by Auburn University and other major schools with coaching vacancies.
