DON HASKINS: The
Bear has always insisted
he wasn’t trying to make a
social statement; he was
simply starting his best
players — and they hap-
pened to be black. But
when Haskins and Texas
Western (now UTEP) won
the 1966 NCAA champi-
onship with an all-black
starting five, doors that
had always been closed to
black athletes began
opening. Haskins died in
September at age 78 in
his beloved El Paso.

ROGER CLEMENS-
STEROIDS: The pitcher’s
trainer outed Clemens to
baseball investigators last
year as a steroid cheat.
BOB KNIGHT: The
Indiana and then Texas
Tech coach did every-
thing loud in his memo-
rable career. He coached
loud, argued loud, berated
loud, lived loud. But he
retired quietly, on a week-
day in the middle of the
season with almost no
notice. He won three
national titles and more
games than any other
Division I men’s coach.
He’ll be remembered as a
flawed genius.
It was a
sweet
sports.
The state lost two icons
when trailblazing UTEP
basketball coach Don
Haskins and TCU grid-
iron great Sammy Baugh
died. But their deaths, at
the, least, permitted us a
pause to celebrate their
accomplishments.
Baugh was a Texan
through and through —
born in Temple, attended
TCU and bought a ranch
in West Texas that he
returned to just as soon as
he could. But his retire-
ment to ranching came
only after establishing
himself as one of the best
pro football players in the
game’s history.
Haskins was so much a
Texan that he’s forgiven
for being born in
Oklahoma. He was an
old-school coach whose
team toiled in anonymity
until 1966, when Haskins
started five black players
and won the NCAA title.
That was a first and it was
a game-changer, creating
previously denied oppor-
tunities for African-
American players every-
where.
Here’s a look at Slingin’
Sammy, “The Bear” and
some of the other top
sports stories in Texas in
2008:.

SAMMY BAUGH:
Slingin’ Sammy Baugh
was a cowboy and a quar-
terback, probably in that
order. Perhaps the best
all-around player in pro
football history, Baugh
once led the league in
passing, punting and
defensive interceptions in
the same season. After
winning a national title at
TCU and two pro champi-
onships with the
Washington Redskins,
Baugh retired to his West
Texas ranch. He died in
December in Rotan at the
age of 94.

NASTIA LIUKIN: It
took an amazing effort to
steal some of the spotlight
from Olympic star
Michael « Phelps, but
Liukin did it. The North
Texas gymnast won the
coveted all-around gold,
helped the U.S. team win
silver and picked up three
more medals. She was
graceful, elegant and —
apparently unlike some of
her Chinese rivals — of
age.
