Football's First Coaching Schools and Clinics

I recently came across a claim that the first football coaching clinic came in 1924 under the direction of Ira \"Irl\" Tubbs, then the football and basketball coach at Wisconsin’s Superior Normal School. Tubbs played football at William Jewell before coaching at Superior High School, where his top player was Ernie Nevers. Tubbs’ 1920 team was widely considered the best team in the state. Their only competition for the mythical state title came from East Green Bay High, coached by a young Cur — www.footballarchaeology.com

Unintended Consequences of the Fair Catch Signal

As football transitioned from rugby, it brought along rugby’s rules and traditions, including rugby’s fair catch, in which players signaled the fair catch by \"heeling in\" as they made the catch. Heeling in occurred when players struck the ground with the heel of their foot, creating a divot to mark the spot. Since heeling in occurred simultaneously with or just after the catch, the kicking team players covering the punt could not tackle the returner until they saw whether or not he heeled — www.footballarchaeology.com
The fair catch signal was derived from rugby and Football Archaeology dives into the history of this signal

The 1933 Rules Committee And The Future of Football

Regular readers of this site and other intelligent people know that American football has often faced conflicts over the game’s direction. Today, the primary disputes in college football are player safety and money. Some see targeting and other rules intended to eliminate dangerous hits as at odds with the aggressive play they consider central to football. Likewise, college football’s transfer portal and NIL move the game into territory many do not like. Regardless of where you stand on eith — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football Archaeology looks back at the 1933 NCAA Rules revisions and the issues they had that affected football forward.

Buffaloes Blitz Longhorns in Thrilling 2001 Big 12 Championship

The 2001 Big 12 Championship Game saw the #7 Colorado Buffaloes pull off a stunning upset against the #3 Texas Longhorns, claiming their first Big 12 title in a dramatic 39-37 victory.

-An Offensive Showstopper:

The game was a high-scoring affair, with both teams showcasing their offensive firepower. Colorado's Bobby Pesavento and Texas' Chris Simms combined for over 600 passing yards and five touchdowns. The offensive fireworks kept fans on the edge of their seats throughout the contest.

-Late-Game Heroics:

With the score tied at 37 and just over a minute remaining, Colorado's defense forced a crucial turnover. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Pesavento led the Buffaloes on a game-winning drive, culminating in a 4-yard touchdown run to seal the victory with 28 seconds left.

-An Unforgettable Upset:

The 2001 Big 12 Championship Game is remembered as a classic in college football history. Colorado's unlikely victory against the heavily favored Longhorns was a testament to their resilience and offensive prowess. The game cemented the legacy of Colorado head coach Gary Barnett and quarterback Bobby Pesavento.

The First College Team To Fly To A Game

The aviation world advanced tremendously during WWI as planes grew sturdier, faster, and larger. Those advances leaked over to the civilian sector after the war, along with a desire by the military to promote flying by civilians to ensure a steady supply of trained pilots. Government agencies joined the game by advocating for taxpayer-funded airports to support the flying craze, ensuring their communities would not be left out if heavier-than-air flight took off as expected. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football Archaeology points to the first team to fly to a game in this fascinating story.

Abusing Football Officials

With the start of the football season, we will soon hear of frightful behavior by players, coaches, and fans who assault game officials due to the calls or lack of calls made in games. Such behavior is unacceptable whenever it occurs, but it would be a mistake to believe this type of behavior is new. The world has always had jerks, and a part of its jerk population has found its way onto football fields. So, here are a few stories of our grandparents, great-grandparents, or their ancestors actin — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football Archaeology digs up some events where fans and players got into altercations with officials over a call.

The Carlisle Globetrotters

College football remains a predominantly regional game despite the geographic barriers breaking down in recent years. The major conferences have geographic cores; with limited exceptions, teams at lower levels play in conferences covering one or a few bordering states. Travel time and costs have driven the game’s geographical orientation since the beginning and continue to do so today. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy Brown takes the Football Archaeology to the legendary Carlisle Indian School teams and their tendency under multiple head coaches to travel great distances to play games against top competition.

Cal Tech Eyeglass Shield

I’m a sucker for oddball pieces of player equipment that one person or another developed along the way, and the more quickly the equipment died out, the better. Facial and eye protection is among football’s richest veins for oddball equipment. The nose guards of the 1890s and 1910s led to executioner’s masks in the 1920s, and birdcage face masks in the 1930s, and a proliferation of Lucite and rubber-covered metal masks in the 1950s. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P. Brown takes his Football Archaeology back to an innovation by the Cal tech team where they protected the players who wore glasses with a face shield.

Hyperbole and the Game of the Century

Hut! Hut! Hike!, published in November 2022, describes the origins of over 400 football terms. This is article #5, covering additional aspects of football’s terminology. A \"game of the century\" is a huge matchup that football fans nationwide anticipate, watch, and look back upon at levels, unlike your run-of-the-mill big game. While few agree on the criteria for what constitutes a game of the century (GOTC), they have proven popular. — www.footballarchaeology.com
How many times have we heard that a great game in college football was the Game of the Century? Many time in the 20th Century. Tim Brown focuses this Football Archaelogy post to identify these great games.
