  • Nothing Minor About It the American Association/AFL of 1936-50
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 12, No. 2 (1990) Nothing minor about it The American Association/AFL of 1936-50 By Bob Gill Try as I might, I can’t seem to mention the era before World War II without calling it “the heyday of pro football’s minor leagues.” But it’s not just an idle comment. In the 1930s several flourishing regional “circuits” of independent teams coalesced into outstanding minor leagues. From today’s perspective, one of the least likely locales for such a circuit was the New York-New Jersey area, where fans had the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to satisfy their hunger for pro football. Despite that, the area produced the best of all the pre-war minor leagues: the American Association (soon to be immortalized in another best-selling PFRA publication). The AA was formed in June 1936, in response to a proposal by Edwin (Piggy) Simandl, manager of the Orange Tornadoes. Charter members were Brooklyn, Mt. Vernon, New Rochelle, Orange, Passaic, Paterson, Staten Island and White Plains. Several of these cities had been represented in two earlier leagues, the 1932 Eastern League and the 1933 Interstate League, both of which failed after a single season. However, those leagues didn’t have Joe Rosentover as president. Despite the early demise of his own Passaic club, Rosentover remained at the helm of the league for its whole existence. The AA’s first season was somewhat like that of its main rival, the Dixie League, which also opened for business in 1936. No team established any clear superiority, and at the end of November Rosentover announced a playoff series matching the top four teams, two each from what the newspapers sometimes called the New York group and the New Jersey group.

  • Left out of College Football Playoff, Ohio State Is Headed to the Rose Bowl
    Left Out Of College Football Playoff, Ohio State Is Headed To The Rose Bowl For the second season in a row, a Big Ten championship wasn’t enough for Ohio State to get into the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes (12-1), coming off a 45-24 victory over Northwestern in the Big Ten title game in Indianapolis on Saturday, found themselves on the outside looking in when the final playoff field was announced Sunday afternoon. Alabama got in as the No. 1 seed with Clemson at No. 2, Notre Dame at No. 3 and Oklahoma rounding out the playoffs in fourth. Ohio State, it turned out, wasn’t even the first team on the bubble. The Buckeyes stayed at sixth in the final rankings, one spot behind Georgia. While the playoffs are out of the picture for Ohio State, the Scarlet and Gray are set for a trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., for the first time since Urban Meyer took over as head coach. The Buckeyes last played in the Rose Bowl in 2009-10, when they beat Oregon, 26-17. This time around, Ohio State is set to face Washington on New Year’s Day. The Huskies (10-3) clinched their berth in the Rose Bowl by beating Utah, 10-3, on Friday in the Pac-12 championship game. Ohio State is 7-7 all time in the Rose Bowl, which traditionally pits the Big Ten champion vs. the Pac-12 champion. The Buckeyes missed out on the Rose Bowl last year because it was one of two CFP semifinal games instead, leaving Ohio State to face USC in the Cotton Bowl.
