Bonus 19: The History of American Football, Part 1 - ft. Sicko Jordan from the Sickos Committee
🕑 Added 2024-06-29 18:33:14 +0000 UTCJordan from the Sickos Committee joins Tom & Liam to discuss the history of football. It turns out that there's too much history so this starts from the middle ages and runs up to about WWII. We cover the ancient origins of the sport, how the split between it and rugby began, and how Walter Camp basically did a Great Man Theory all on his own. Check out the attachment for the information we put together.

I would've had so much more school spirit if Eastern Michigan was still the Normalites

Loved this! However I would like to say that men’s rowing can be NCAA (I’m a D3 rower) but most of the time it’s club
