2015 INDUCTEE DONALD SANFORD ONALD WAS BORN AND RAISED IN PARRISH, ALABAMA, where he Dfollowed in the footsteps of his uncle Bruce Jones, a member of the “Half Century All-Time Great Players at the University of Alabama.” Donald started every game in his career at Parrish where he played for coach Edward Childs. His senior year, they amassed a record of 11-2-1 beating Birmingham powerhouse Woodlawn 13-6 in a game played at Legion Field.

He played on the Crimson Tideʼs last Southern Conference Championship team (1930). Donald was key figure in Wadeʼs last game at Alabama where he anchored the offensive line in Bamaʼs 24-0 win over Washington State in the 1931 Rose Bowl which clinched Bamaʼs 10-0 season and gave the Tide their fourth National Championship.

FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theifra 100 Years Ago Today, Notre Dame’s First Trip to West Point Made Football History By Jim Lefebvre [www.CoachForANation.com] On the afternoon of November 1, 1913, a pair of football teams representing all- male institutions of higher learning met on the Cullum Hall field at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. On that day, it is said, football changed forever. For 18 students from the University of Notre Dame, a small Catholic college in northern Indiana, the trip began two days earlier, when they boarded a day coach in downtown South Bend, headed East on the longest football trek ever attempted at a school that began playing the game 25 years earlier. The captain of the Notre Dame squad, 25-year-old Knute Kenneth Rockne, reflected on his journey of the previous two decades. As a five-year-old, he was a new immigrant from Norway, learning English at the spanking new Brentano Elementary School in an area recently annexed to Chicago. Now, he stood at the very heart of American pride – ready to take on the accomplished young men to represent an entire nation on the playing field.

Urban Meyer’S Career Ranks Among Coaching Elite by Tex Noel/1St-N-Goal; Secsportsfan.Com/Stathistorian
Urban Meyer’s Career Ranks among Coaching Elite By Tex Noel/1st-N-Goal; SECSportsfan.com/StatHistorian The SEC has not only produced some of college football’s outstanding players the game of college has—or will ever—seen; but also many of highly successful head coaches, once patrolled a conference sideline. The earliest mentor to make his mark was Alabama’s Wallace Wade; who career in the mid- 1920s hold a slim three percentage point lead over, are yall ready for this, a coach from Vanderbilt, who 20 years earlier had produced some outstanding teams ever on the Nashville gridiron. Before you go and say, the conference celebrated its 75th Anniversary last fall, there wasn’t an SEC per se back then. You would be right, SEC fan; but before there was an SEC most of today’s current conference line-up were members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and later the Southern Conference, both precursors to the SEC. As Wade’s accomplishments brought an early recognition to the conference in his first four years, 1919-23 at the helm; the coach that would compile the highest winning percent over the first four years of his SEC coaching career was just getting started. At the start of his tenure in Knoxville, Robert Neyland’s charges equaled Wade win total but had a higher winning percentage, .934—to--.837, respectively. Why are the first four seasons used to rank the coaches? Simple, Florida’s Urban Meyer in 2008 completed his fourth season in Gainesville; as this compilation will show how he compares to other coaching greats that have called a SEC school home.

FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/theifra ****INSTANT HISTORY**** By Tex Noel, Executive Director For the first time in college football’s stathistory/Teams scoring 500+ points, two teams would register their 500th point, playing in their eighth game—not only in the same season; but also on the same day! Perennial 500+ scoring team Mount Union has kept its record of consecutive seasons recording 500 or more points alive—at 20 [1995-2014]—with a 66-7 victory over Otterbien. It is team’s 21st overall. Thus far during the 2014 season, the Purple Raiders have scored at least 58 points in all 8 of its games; recording a 66-7 triumph. This was the school’s third highest score this season. In contrast, Morningside, currently the top ranked team in the weekly NAIA Coaches’ Poll, would register its lowest game score game of the season, a 44-21 triumph over Concordia (Neb.) to be a part of the scoring accomplishment. Both teams have two games and any possible post-season games to increase their tallies. With the teams reaching 500+ points in a single-season, the “record” of consecutive seasons remains in tack.

After winning six of the National Football League’s first 24 championships, the Packers won only 55 games, while losing 107 and tying 3, from 1945 through 1958. No wonder that Packer fans dwelt on the past, and the great legends of the past—Canadeo, Hutson, Herber, Hubbard, Hinkle, Dilweg, Lewellen, Isbell, Michalske, Lambeau. But the greatest legend of all was Johnny Blood, because he was not only a great football player, but also a colorful, flamboyant personality off the field. (His one-time teammate and fellow member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, Clarke Hinkle, once said, “Next to Johnny Blood, Joe Namath looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy.”) I grew up in Green Bay during that period and, by the time I was thirteen and thinking of becoming a writer, I knew that someday I wanted to write a book about this legendary charac- ter.
