San Francisco is a beautiful city. The University of San Francisco had a beautiful season in 1951 (as well as it being a beautiful school). But this terrible stipulation of leaving behind Black players just to go to a Bowl game was absolutely ugly and atrocious. Their program would probably still exist today had it not been for this terrible injustice. This was a powerful program crippled by that terrible "leave behind your Black players" stipulation in 1951. Great shame for such a great team.

The 1951 University of San Francisco Dons Football Team is the Best Football Team in college History and the best team you never heard of. Undefeated, untied, uninvited. They were also called the Magnificent Eleven and the team cleary made a huge impact in college and the NFL. I wish one day they would make a movie about this remarkable football team.

They had to be really great with all those future Pro football All-Pros and Hall of Famers on it.
