FOOTBALL FACTS

Thanks for joining us once again as we look at some football facts. This time we’ll look at "From a regional to a National sport. From 1930-1958"

In the early 1930s, the college game continued to grow, particularly in the south, bolstered by fierce rivalries such as the "Third Saturday in October"—a rivalry between Alabama and Tennessee. While prior to the mid-1920s most national powers came from the northeast or the midwest, the trend changed when Wallace Wade's 1925 Alabama team won the 1926 Rose Bowl en route to its first national title. Because the South lacked any professional major league sports presence, college football quickly became its most popular spectator sport.

As it grew beyond its regional affiliations in the 1930s, college football garnered increased national attention. Four new bowl games were created: the Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, the Sun Bowl in 1935, and the Cotton Bowl in 1937.

In 1935, New York City's Downtown Athletic Club awarded the first Heisman Trophy to Chicago halfback Jay Berwanger, who was also the first ever NFL Draft pick in 1936.

The 1950s saw the rise of yet more dynasties and power programs. Oklahoma, under coach Bud Wilkinson, won three national titles (1950, 1955, 1956) and all ten Big Eight Conference championships in the decade while building a record 47 game winning streak that still stands today.

Woody Hayes led Ohio State to two national titles, in 1954 and 1957, and dominated the Big Ten conference, winning three Big Ten titles—more than any other school.

Nine out of ten Heisman trophy winners in the 1950s were runners. Notre Dame, one of the biggest passing teams of the decade, saw a substantial decline in success; the 1950s were the only decade between 1920 and 1990 when the team did not win at least a share of the national title. Paul Hornung, Notre Dame quarterback, did however win the Heisman in 1956, becoming the only player from a losing team ever to do so.

It’s NOT easy to make a video and watch what happens It takes guts to put yer stuff out there..

It's been fun reading people's reactions. I'm even getting interesting feedback from my MIL in Anchorage. She's a real estate agent and there are several Korean agents in the office. LOL!

[MS.BEHAVIN]

LUVEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
LOL
Yeah, I’m just tired and disgusted..
How’s you?

[luvie]

That is very cool!

I wish I had thought of it. I don’t think I had a media
card big enough to record all of it. It would have been fun!

[luvie]

You’re leaving already?

(((hugs)))

Nighty-night, MY!

[Tamar1973]

Need some soju?

[HiJinx]

That’s a shame...I hate when management is either too short-sighted to invest in personnel, or too lazy to hire and keep good personnel.

I hope things work out for you...

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Really?
Did the Koreans like your recipe?

[luvie]

Well, I am tired and NOT disgusted! LOL!

I am off tomorrow and that covers a multitude of “sins”! :D

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Thanks Jinxy.
These people couldn’t schedule a fire drill!
And folks wonder why there is a shortage of nurses..

[luvie]

Never let ‘em see ya cry!

That’s just wrong...and probably breaks a lot of labor laws!

[Tamar1973]

Really? Did the Koreans like your recipe?

Apparently. They told my MIL that I had an interesting twist on kimchi pizza, which is different from what they make in Korea. With Chuncheon style chicken becoming more popular nationwide (thanks in part to Winter Sonata) maybe my recipe might catch on there too. I can dream, right?

I need all the help I can get if I ever want to become BYJ's personal chef. LOL!

[SevenofNine]

[MS.BEHAVIN]

What I really need is some sleep.

[HiJinx]

Not me...lousy pay, lousy work conditions, lousy hours...

A lot of your satisfaction comes from caring for patients, not from wages or conditions.

It’s a lot like soldiers or firemen...
