How Football itself got its unique shape and its history, the story may surprise you!
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.
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.
1966 Football Practice Equipment Catalog
Football teams practice four, five, or more times more often than they play games, so the methods and equipment used in practice are vital parts of the game’s history. Today we review an eight-page catalog released by Premier Products in 1966 that touts their blocking sleds, dummies, and a few miscellaneous items. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P Brown takes the Football Archaeology focus to the practice equipment for football in the 1960s.
James Gilbert - Evolution of College Football Fields
I typically fill the virtual pages of Football Archaeology with combinations of words I string together to explain some element of football’s past. In honor of our national holiday, however, today’s focus is on a labor of love prepared by James Gilbert. James and I co-authored a — www.footballarchaeology.com

Cleveland Indians Football
July 12, 1931 - Cleveland Indians franchise forms after the Cleveland Tigers franchise changed their name and then subsequently folded after the 1921 season per the ProFootballHOF.com website. According to the American Football Fandom site this was the first of three different instances of an “Indians” pro football franchise in Cleveland. A second "Indians" NFL team arose in 1923. That team played as the "Indians" for the 1923 season before changing their name to the Cleveland Bulldogs in 1924. The third rendition of the Cleveland Indians came in 1931 when the League sponsored the club that only played games on the road. The NFL intended to locate this team permanently in Cleveland. However when no suitable owner was found, the franchise folded after just one season as visiting gate revenues. These three Cleveland teams are viewed as three totally different franchises by the NFL.
First and Five, Eight, Ten, or Fifteen
During the game’s early years, football’s rules were virtually identical to those of rugby which did not allow teams to maintain possession from one scrimmage or scrummage to another. When football went down the possession path in 1880, the rule makers assumed that teams possessing the ball would play honorably, punting when they could not advance the ball after a few scrimmages. However, Princeton had other ideas and kept the ball play and after play versus Yale in 1880 and 1881, leading to — www.footballarchaeology.com

Alternating Sets Of Downs
A Tidbit published a few days ago described how American football transitioned between 1906 and 1912 from requiring teams to gain five yards in three downs to ten yards in four downs. Some prominent coaches argued that teams should gain eight or fifteen yards in four downs, but they adopted the four downs to gain ten yards approach, which remains the rule today. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P Brown takes Football Archaeology into the thought of one innovative coach to alternate the number of downs teams would have and even eliminate the game clock.
Football Training Camp In The 1910s
It is that time of year. College football training camps are opening nationwide, almost all filled with hope, if not optimism, since we are one month from launching a new season. Most camps are held on campus nowadays, though some venture off for bonding and other purposes. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football archaeology goes back in time to describe early gridiron training camps, who had them and what they did.
Canadian Football Is Open For Business
Today’s Tidbit is published early as a public service to those who do not regularly watch the CFL but should. It is a wide-open game featuring five wide receivers, though that did not stop Montreal and Ottawa from playing to a 22-21 score last night in a game featuring ten made field goals. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football Archaeology examines the rules and basics for understanding Canadian Football and the CFL.
