Description: It's 1969 at the University of Wyoming, where college football is treated like a second religion.

From our play cousins across the pond, our own B.A. Parker hosts the BBC World Service's Amazing Sport Stories: The Black 14. Listen to the rest of the series wherever you get your podcasts.
