Last May the former president approached Rutgers coach Vivian Stringer at a birthday party in Atlanta for civil rights activist Andrew Young. "He sees me and he says, Come here," recalls Stringer. "I was like, Oh, my God'. Then he put his arm on my shoulder and said, 'Man, I taped those games. I love those games. I was sure you were going to win the game against Tennessee. And you just made short order of LSU.' I said, 'You watched the games?' He said, 'Are you kidding me? I didn't know what you were going to do with Sylvia Fowles?'" Not many people do.

Oh, the history books might say something different, telling as they do of a black man named James Meredith and the failed, violent efforts to keep him from enrolling at the school, and the beginning of the end of segregation in the depths of the South. But posterity also records that after the gun smoke and tear gas had blown from the campus, the Ole Miss football team went 10-0, even as it shared its practice field with the federal troops bivouacked there. It was no small balm to white Mississippians, who watched what they called "our way of life" come forcefully to a close.
