ʜᴏɴᴏʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘᴀꜱᴛ, ɪɴꜱᴘɪʀɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ꜰᴜᴛᴜʀᴇ. This February, join us as we celebrate and remember those who paved the way for future generations to come. Up first, Sherman Howard and Alva Tabor. In the fall of 1948, the University of Nevada football program was faced with a choice. Tulsa University warned against bringing any of the Pack’s black players to the competition. The university’s telegram stated “Nevada is aware of the traditional background of athletics in the state of Oklahoma … and the decision is the prerogative of Nevada”. The team had a decision to make. Forfeit the opportunity to travel to Oklahoma and play the game, or stand with their brothers and make a choice not many were willing to make. Backed by their teammates, Tabor and Howard went down to Oklahoma, and proceeded to hand Tulsa their worst loss in 31 years, 65-14. Tabor is recognized unofficially as the Pack’s first black quarterback, and also contributed to the team in the fullback and all-purpose back positions. Howard was a running back who contributed to the ‘47 and ‘48 teams’ record of 18-4, with back-to-back bowl appearances. These two truly understood what it meant to have the support of a Pack family, and we are proud to recognize and remember their legacy and contributions to this university.
