Since the story on the @DeptofDefense's website on Jackie Robinson has been deleted, here are the details of his service in the United States military.
In 1942, Robinson was drafted and reported to Fort Riley, Kansas. By early 1943, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant before joining the 761st tank battalion, also known as the Black Panthers.
A year later, after Robinson boarded an Army bus, the driver asked him to retreat to the back. Robinson refused -- more than a decade before Rosa Parks. Robinson was court martialed and later acquitted.
He spent the rest of his military service at Camp Breckinridge, where he coached Army athletics teams. Robinson was honorably discharged in November 1944.

Welp, USC got hosed on the DPI no-calls in OT, but the Trojans' game management at the end of regulation was just terrible.
Bottom line: It's Oct. 12 and USC is done.
No chance to reach the CFP through at-large route & won't make B1G title game with 3 Ls (and counting)
Not only did Magic Johnson and Larry Bird enter the NBA in 1979-1980 (most know the significance of that), thatโs when the three-point line was introduced. It was the beginning of the modern NBA. It isnโt an arbitrary date. The NBA was simply a different league prior to 1979.
