Bronko was a class unto himself.

This is supposed to be a youtube short..... obviously I'm still trying to learn how TH-cam and video making work....

Hi. I’m curious, did you ever play football? Hope all is well. You look well 😊

It is KUH NUTE get it right..................... Love Thee, Notre Dame N D #29 & S D T T Respect Coach Knute Rockne: It’s Kuh - newt

It's yay Alabama not yeah Alabama I enjoyed this though. Thank you for sharing

Michael IHOP McNish Bryant U guard. Famous for serving up countless pancake blocks.

William Slug McNish Glassboro State College

Saw his grandson play hockey vs. Ohio U. in Bird arena. I believe he was on the Air Force squad. He was physically similar to grandpa.

I met Doak Walker at a book signing a few years before his accident and death. Texas Monthly Press had issued books on Daryl Royal, Sammy Baugh, John David Crow, and Doak Walker. He was so nice, wanting to chat for a while. I felt guilty because of the long line forming behind me! He was really classy!

Before NIL, the definition of an amateur was one who accepted cash instead of checks.

Another great video

Larry Csonka + Dick Butkus = Bronko Nagurski. Maybe.

A similar story is told about Wallace Jones recruiting farm boys for Alabama. If the coach saw a farm boy plowg4 he would ask directions. If the boy pointed with his finger, the coach thanked him and went on. If the lad pointed with the p;aw, coach took him to Alabama.

He carried the team on his back

Fantastic work! The only thing of relevance you didn't include about Bronko Nagurski is that he has the greatest football name of all time. (A close second goes to Dick Butkus and nobody else belongs on the list. 😁)

Did he ever play against Polk High?

Nice to see some classic Big 10 stuff again.

Having been in Northern Minnesota in the summer, this I can agree on, the summers are amazing and they only have the big mosquitos where bug spray actually works.

Love this channel I wish you would do ine in Jock Sutherland or Red Blaik

I'll forever hate the Bears, but Bronko Nagurski is the ultimate old school football player name. Just sounds tough.

My grandfather was an outstanding high school football player in Detroit. He graduated during the depression and had to help his family so he couldn't go to college and play ball. He did play semi-pro in the area. At some point his team was playing against Nagurski's. I don't the details, a practice game or some kind of exhibition. He tells the story about how he got a clean shot at Bronko. He went to the make the tackle and the next thing he knew it was ten minutes later and he was waking up on the sideline. The last thing he could remember seeing was Nagurski's knees driving toward his head. Man, he loved to tell that story.

Terrific stuff! Go, Gophers!

Another great video. Speaking of Minnesota I' love to see a video on the oldest trophy in college football, the little brown jug. The story is half legend & half fact. Did Yost really believe minnesota would try to poison his team?

One day in the 19th century, a group of Yale students inflated a leather encased pig's bladder, and took it outside to kick around. Fifteen minutes later, there were athletics scandals and scholarship violations.

Well done. Very enjoyable.

This has gotta be the coolest sports channel out there

But the defense didn’t recover the ball! How do you give the defense something they didn’t take?

4:09: I am surprised that with four blocked punts, neither team was able to take advantage, either through returning a block for points or taking advantage of field position, probably in the territory of the other team.

2:02: The third paragraph here suggests the teams totaled 23 yards in total offense ( if we assume neither team completed a pass because both "abandoned passing"). Whichever way, Wikipedia says the game set the all time NCAA record with 30 total yards gained by both teams.

Another great video, good sir. How about doing one on the 1946 game between Notre Dame and Army? The previous two years, Notre Dame had lost 59-0 and 48-0 to Army. They still didn't score on the Cadets in 1946... but this time they managed a 0-0 tie.

He also set up the initial Big Ten Championship game in 1899 where the Maroons went to Madison and beat the Badgers 17-0. You briefly mention he played in the first basketball game but while he did not serve as the coach but for one season (1920-21) he played a major role in early basketball and was also a member of the inaugural Basketball Hall of Fame class in 1959 as a contributor. He set up many championships, including the first BIg Ten championship in 1908 to determine whether WIsconsin or Chicago would face Penn in a best of three to determine the national champion. Chicago beat Penn when John Schommer hit an 80 foot buzzer beater. He also set up a national high school tournament that ran for several years in the early 1920s.

In those times, back in the 1930s, a fair catch might have still had an option for the receiving team to elect for a "free kick" from the spot of the fair catch, with option to place kick or drop kick or punt. The one fair catch might itself had resulted in a punt, from the point of the catch with the other team being required to stand back 10 or more yards, rather than lining everyone up at the line of scrimmage with the punter several yards behind the line of scrimmage in order to avoid getting his punt being blocked. Now in the 21st Century in college level football, a fair catch kick is no longer allowed, while in NFL football a fair catch kick is allowed, but with a punt as a fair catch kick being an illegal procedure, and the place kick or drop kick either scoring a field goal or else being awarded to the other team at the spot of the kick if a field goal was not achieved. Back when a fair catch could result in a free kick, part of the punter's job in the case of very bad field conditions was to punt the ball in such a way that the receiving team would be unlikely to call for and then actually achieve a fair catch, since being able to punt the ball from the point of the catch rather than from several yards back on a subsequent play from scrimmage would be a significant field position advantage for a team that achieved a fair catch, perhaps explaining why with more than 50 punts in that 1930s era football game, only one fair catch was achieved.

Ugh, you're a Jon....lol the evil John's of the world!!!😂😂

Red Grange was the first superstar in the history of football. Because college football has always mattered. Pro football did not really matter to the general public until December 28, 1958. When the Baltimore Colts defeated the New York Giants in the first game in the history of football to go into overtime in front of a national audience.

Yoicks! 1318 punt yards by one punter! That's insane! Well, the whole game was insane. I wonder if they had any punts that stuck right in the mud like in that one famous NFL mud game. Is 1000-yard punting _seasons_ a thing?

OSU Michigan snow bowl from 1950 was unusual.

Could you do one on Howard Jones USC coach

GOAT 🐐 CHANNEL i love all old college football stories when i was kid still do

I added chapters if you want to skip ahead, even if i wanted to, just the way you said that, i dont think i could skip ahead!

If that had been Canadian football the touch back punt would had been a "rouge", one point and whoever scored it would have won the game. Sounds about as futile as the Michigan Ohio State game of the early fifties that was played in a blizzard. I heard that game on the radio, and have seen videos on You Tube. Ridiculous.

As for limiting presnap motion in 1921, one of the big differences in Canadian rules is still allowing it

Great video! Now do one about the “ toilet bowl”, oregon vs Oregon state that was the last 0-0 game

This is a great channel the thing about those old coaches they were intellectuals also John Heisman was an Shakesperean actor and Knute Rockene was Science teacher

4th quarter, down 14-9 to Ohio (🤮) Let’s go, I believe in you the Huskers 👌

Me and my brothers luv your content!! Football 🏈 has a brutal history! We appreciate guys like u that keep it real!! 💯

Excellent introduction for a new student of the game. I can see that we really need to know the history to understand the game today. So much information is given that I need to take some time to after each episode to digest it all. I really like your conversational presentation style. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge.

Love your videos as always

Hell yeah university of Chicago legend who got sabotaged by its own athletic director great story

Your videos r awesome brother!! U have seen much more college football than me amd respect your views! 🤜

how about a series of videos covering the stories of the rival trophies in college football like the paul bunyan trophy . many of them are between schools in the big ten
