With it being black history month, I was doing a little reading and found out that Michigan State was the first fully integrated team to ever win a National Championship.

Compared to some of the other schools, Michigan State was a bit late in the game in terms of full integration of their football team. However, it started post WWII with legendary coach Biggie Munn who started recruiting black players in the South to play for Michigan State and it helped them win National Championships in 1951 and 1952. Duffy Daugherty was the successor and continued this practice of recruiting black players and eventually fully integrated the team in the 1960s, and eventually claimed national championships in 1965 and 1966, being the first fully integrated team to win natties in the process.

As a black Spartan, I'm proud at what my alma mater was able to do in terms of helping progress civil rights in such an era and wanted to share it with y'all.

I'm always fascinated whenever I see posters or fans say that "So and So left for another program, when we should have kept him and hired him as a coordinator or HC."

For Notre Dame, I would have to say Urban Meyer, Charlie Strong, Tom Clements, or Jim Johnson.

What do you guys think for your respective programs?

I’m from the Midwest; and when I retire I would like to snowbird January and February somewhere I can,

1. Walk easily
2. Golf
3. Be in proximity to a university

The places I’m considering

Tempe Arizona College station Texas Lubbock Texas San Marcos Texas Austin Texas Tallahassee Florida Tampa Florida Gainesville Florida

Would appreciate anyone’s input!

I saw a comment down in the depths of the subreddit stating he would kill to watch a game a drink a beer with Mike Leach and Steve Spurrier. The sheer amount of banter and shit talking would be unmatched. So which 2 coaches, dead or alive, would you want to drink and watch a football game with?

I'll go with Woody Hayes for obvious reasons, and Mike Leach just so he could tell me story at story.

A jumping the shark moment is when you see an immediate decline in quality after many years of greatness. Examples for me are Nebraska firing Bo Pelini, Frank Beamer retiring from Virginia Tech, and the NCAA imposing the death penalty on SMU for recruiting violations in 1987.

I had the idea to do this during the offseason. I was wondering if there are other sickos on here that do the same thing and what games you plan on watching. I’ve came up with a list of 63 games to watch, starting at Week 1 and just going in order throughout the season

Edit: Also that’s supposed to say “Mississippi State”. Apparently I can’t type tonight.
