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.

    1962 Minnesota Twins Media Guide

    MINNESOTA TWINS METROPOLITAN STADIUM - BLOOMINGTON, MINNESOTA /eepreieniin the AMERICAN LEAGUE __flfl I/ic Upper l?ic/we1 The Name... The name of this baseball club is Minnesota Twins. It is unique, as the only major league baseball team named after a state instead of a city. The reason unlike all other teams, this one represents more than one city. It, in fact, represents a state and a region, Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, in the American League. A survey last year drama- tized the vastness of the Minnesota Twins market with the revelation that up to 47 per cent of the fans at weekend games came from beyond the metropolitan area surrounding the stadium. The nickname, Twins, is in honor of the two largest cities in the Upper Midwest, the Twin Cities of Minne- apolis and St. Paul. The Place... The home stadium of the Twins is Metropolitan Stadium, located in Bloomington, the fourth largest city in the state of Minnesota. Bloomington's popu- lation is in excess of 50,000. Bloomington is in Hen- nepin County and the stadium is approximately 10 miles from the hearts of Minneapolis (Hennepin County) and St. Paul (Ramsey County). Bloomington has no common boundary with either of the Twin Cities. Club Records Because of the transfer of the old Washington Senators to Minnesota in October, 1960, and the creation of a completely new franchise in the Na- tion's Capital, there has been some confusion over the listing of All-Time Club records. In this booklet, All-Time Club records include those of the Wash- ington American League Baseball Club from 1901 through 1960, and those of the 1961 Minnesota Twins, a continuation of the Washington American League Baseball Club.
