Pretty proud of CU's record here. Just a part of the story, but certainly speaks well for where CU has been on this subject back in 1969.
"The crowd was hostile towards us", Collins recollected. "People called us the N-word and spit on us. I always said, they had never seen black people playing football before because that's how they acted."
With tensions running high and the game nearing kickoff, an official from the SEC informed Crowder that only a single player would be allowed to represent CU for the coin toss. Crowder wanted to make a statement knowing his team was upset from their entrance into the stadium. He decided Collins would be the one to stand at midfield and show the Buffs wouldn't be divided. The senior captain was playing in his final college game. After celebrating with his friends earlier in the week, Collins found himself standing alone facing the entire Alabama team for the coin toss. A record crowd of over 50,000 people would watch history happen in front of their eyes.
