Going to explain my selfish vote for OT here. I've been voting all along for the change I liked better. So voting for integration seemed like an obvious vote all the way to the end right? Well, thinking about it not so much as which change I liked better for the game, but which change I personally liked better, as a fan of a program that had a 15 year run like they've never seen in the 50's and 60's based largely on being one of the first schools to go into the south and recruit the black kids that the SEC didn't allow, the change in the SEC on that front hurt MSU's program probably more than anything else.

We made it this far before our first tie?

Thus I'll break it, and civil rights progress goes down in an upset.
