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.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

    82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA

    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

    Famed CU Coach Eddie Crowder Dies Page 1 of 3

    Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies Page 1 of 3 Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies By Neill Woelk Wednesday, September 10, 2008 Eddie Crowder, the man who took Colorado’s football program to national prominence as a coach and set the stage for one of the school’s most successful eras as its athletic director, died Tuesday of complications from leukemia. He was 77. Crowder leaves an unmatched legacy at CU. No other man has had more of an influence on Colorado’s athletic department, with that influence spanning more than four decades. As the football coach for 11 years, Crowder led CU to a No. 3 finish in the nation in 1971, five bowl games and a 67-49-2 record, including CU’s first 10-win season in 1971. As CU’s athletic director for 20 years, he took Colorado into the era of big-time college athletics. He also recovered from what he would later call his “biggest mistake” — the hiring of Chuck Fairbanks as the Buffs’ football coach — to set the stage for what would become a golden era of CU athletics. “Eddie Crowder held Colorado athletics together,” said former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas. “Let’s be candid — Colorado has never had the resources of an Oklahoma or Nebraska. “But in large part, they’ve been able to compete with those schools on a fairly regular basis because of the efforts of a guy like Eddie.” Crowder’s influence is still being felt at CU. Two of his final hires were football coach Bill McCartney and women’s basketball coach Ceal Barry, both of whom led the Buffs to unprecedented national prominence.
