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

Smoke On The Border, The 1879 Michigan-Toronto Match
Parts of the Detroit area had air quality readings in the 150s and 160s yesterday, placing them on par with New York City, though the skies appeared clearer here for some reason. Of course, discussing air quality is not Football Archaeology’s core competency. Still, it connects with events from 144 years ago when the University of Toronto sent a team through Southern Ontario and across the Detroit River to play the University of Michigan in the Wolverines’ second-ever football game. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football Archaeology goes into a story about the Michigan Wolverines' second-ever football game against a team from Toronto on November 1, 1879.
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.
1934 Alabama Double Reverses Your Pleasure
When your team has one of the greatest ends in football history, one would expect the first touchdown pass of his senior year to come before the season’s seventh game, but that is what happened with Don Hutson and the 1934 Alabama team. Hutson was a fabulous, fluid athlete who played left end for Bama during the days when every end was tight. The counterweight on the right side of Alabama’s line was a junior named Paul \"Bear\" Bryant. — www.footballarchaeology.com
The FootballArchaeology.com website tells the story of the 1934 Alabama Crimson Tide and their talented speedster, the legendary Don Hutson and how the team devised ways to get Hutson the ball in open spaces.

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.

Peru State Football 1908-1911
Football Archaeology has run a handful of stories about football at normal and teachers’ colleges in recent months that covered: 1906 UW-Stevens Point 1907 Slippery Rock 1907 Eastern Illinois 1916 UW-River Falls 1950 Florence State (North Alabama) Each resulted from an RPPC or schedule that caused me to dig into the team’s story. Readers are fortunate today because I managed to string together RPPCs of the 1908, 1909, and 1910 teams from Nebraska State Normal. Most called it Peru Normal then — www.footballarchaeology.com

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.
NFLers Avoid Campus Women
I don’t know whether NFL players and prospects still receive a list of dos and don’ts upon arrival at training camp, but they did when the Chicago Cardinals arrived at Lake Forest College to prepare for the 1956 season. The Cardinals went 7-5 that year, good for second place in the league’s Eastern Conference, but they failed to attract much attention among Chicagoans, who trickled into Comiskey Park for Cardinals’ home games. Even after starting the season 4-0, only 30,553 bothered show — www.footballarchaeology.com
