Biography
Follow my website, tomshahanan.report I write about true 1960s college football integration pioneers, starting Michigan State coach Duffy Daugherty's 1960s Underground Railroad teams and players that broke barriers in the SEC, SWC and ACC. The stories also explain how the 1970 USC-Alabama game is made up of myths and fiction created nearly 20 years after the game to aggrandize USC's role and obfuscate Alabama coach Bear Bryant dragging his feet until 1971. I'm an awarding winning writer from a long career covering sports for the San Diego Union-Tribune, Voice of San Diego and as a freelance writer. I also cover ACC sports for my website, All-Sports Discussion and The Wilson Times.
