For a guy always running his mouth about being "old school" you'd probably be in a fetal position watching anything before Teddy Roosevelts ultimatum rules. I think you misinterpreted my post. I was saying football isn't the same now as it was back 100 years ago. Or even 20, 50, 75 years ago. No one in today's society can relate to Yale and Princeton being football powerhouses.

Good point....just at random I pulled the top 25 from 1935 and you will note that AU is ranked but look who else is. http://www.tiptop25.com/top25_1935.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked why they picked 1917. I replied because the poll was for 100 years. If you don't want Captain Obvious answers, don't pose 1st grade questions.

Its probably time that we start giving Clemson their deserved respect (not talking to you, Jeff). Some here still think that they are inferior to us. Even historically speaking, that's not true.

I was very surprised to see SMU/TCU produced 677 yards of total offense and 42 first downs. I know Sammy Baugh was great but he attempted 43 passes in the game. I didn't know they ran any offenses that were that wide open back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y A Tittle of LSU.....In total, during his four year college career (44-47) Tittle set school passing records with 162 completions out of 330 attempts for 2,525 yards and 23 touchdowns. ...about what a good college QB will do in a season now. That might have been affected by the fact that he played both offense and defense. He also scored seven touchdowns himself as a runner.[7] His passing totals remained unbroken until Bert Jones surpassed them in the 1970s. His career stats over several seasons were less than a good college would produce and it was a record that held for 20 years. Tittle became a legendary NFL QB and played 17 seasons.

You may be thinking of AU64. I went to Myrtle Beach in 2013 ( tradition of my family to go to the beach during the first weekend of CFB.) There was a whole slew of Clemson fans at a sports bar and they were disgustingly obnoxious. They sang a Clemson song too much and at random times and wanted every single TV on the Clemson-UGA game. I realize I was in Clemson territory and that the Clemson-UGA game was big, but they could’ve spared one out of 15 TVs for the muted Auburn- Washington State game. I ended up getting kicked out of the bar to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
