I am psyched! The family went to the movies yesterday, "The Greatest Game Ever Played" (good flick!) and in the previews, Disney is giving the Remember the Titans treatement to Don Haskins' Texas Western team!

For any who don't know this is the first all black starting five in college basketball to win the Division I (or equivalent at the time) national champioinship.

It looked awesome!!!!

In 1998, Texas Monthly ran an excellent article about Texas Western's coach, Don Haskins, when the men's final four was played in San Antonio.

It was the first time in history that five black players had started a championship game. Haskins' Texas Western Miners (as UTEP was known then) pulled off the biggest upset in the NCAA tournament to date, but that night they won much more than a championship title. UTEP remains the only Texas school to have ever won a men's national championship in basketball. http://www.texasmonthly.com/ranch/finalfour/index.php
