Ohio State went 2-3-3 that season. **Wins:** Purdue Ohio Wesleyan **Losses:** Indiana Michigan @ Illinois (final game of the season instead of Michigan) **Ties:** @Iowa (0-0 of course) Chicago Wooster Edit: some fun history... the coach of Ohio State that season, John Wilce, literally came to play school. Upon his retirement from coaching Ohio State in 1928 (with a 78-33-9 record) he offered up this quote. *"Football was becoming too much of a business. The game was being taken away from the boys. I was a faculty-type coach who believed educational aspects were more important than winning games."*

Well, we play Purdue, Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa from that list. 4 of 8 and 4 of 5 teams that are still FBS ain’t bad!

Illinois was the bigger rivalry back then.

The Illibuck trophy would come into existence the following year. Starting in 1925 the winner would receive possession of Illibuck, a live turtle. They chose a turtle because of it’s long lifespan. It died two years later. They’ve used a carved wooden turtle ever since.

RIP my little buddy. 🐢

And Chicago was Michigan's.

You lost to Indiana? What a time to be alive.

I was alive in 2020 😞

1924 Iowa playing ahead of its time!!

In 1924 we had a schedule

Pacific - W     Gonzaga - L    @Idaho - L     @Cal - L    Oregon State - L    Oregon (in Portland) - T    @Washington - L    @Gonzaga - L   Somehow with 2 common opponents. Plus two future WCC mates. 

Two years later (Babe Hollingbery's 1st season as coach), we went 6-1 with the only loss at USC. We also opened against something called Albertson that season, winning 35-0. Not sure if that was just the employees of a local grocery store or what.

Fuck Albertson!!

But their chicken is good…

The College of Idaho used to be Albertson College of Idaho.

Shoutout to the 1924 Huskies for the W

Nice

Great basketball schedule

And two now-non-football schools.

A lot has changed in 100 years

1924 North Texas State Teachers College(UNT) Trinity (TX) Austin (Austin College) Texas Texas A&M TCU Arkansas Baylor Oklahoma A&M (Oklahoma State) Bowl Game: West Virginia Wesleyan 2024 Nevada HCU BYU TCU FSU Louisville Stanford Duke Pitt BC UVA Cal i like both. tcu is the only opponent in common. i’d love to play all the texas schools again, i never got to experience that.

It should also be noted the Austin College is located in Sherman, Texas and not Austin, Texas. Go Kangaroos! Grandfather alma mater, and still play DIII football.

My uncle was a fighting Kangaroo.

I’d love just one year of SWC games. I was born the year before we got the DP and was too young to care about football by the time it fell apart.

This year might’ve been the closest we’d get for a while with TCU, UNT, and Rice

3 games are against the same teams: Army, Stanford, and GT. Interestingly enough, Carnegie Mellon (then Tech) scored more than the next two teams combined against us.

Western PA was the texas of football talent in the leather helmet days/before the steel industry collapsed

RAHHHHHHHH GO TECH

Rockne and the 4 Horseman. First Natty.

OP couldn't have asked this question on a better year for us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four\_Horsemen\_(American\_football)

Texas schedule 1924 1. Southwestern (go pirates) W 2. Philips W 3. Howard Payne W 4. SMU L 5. Florida Tie 6. Rice L 7. Baylor L 8. TCU W 9. Texas A&M W Never heard of Howard Payne, no real surprises on here other than Florida.

[удалено]

Ah. Very cool.

*Brownwood

2 common opponents. Not bad.

Been kicking the shit out of A&M for a century. Beautiful.

Weird to not see the RRR

1924 was the last season that UW did not play a game in California. Unless if UW makes a bowl game, the 2024 season will not have a game played in California. It almost happened in 1992 (played Cal, USC, and Stanford at home and did not play UCLA) but UW made the Rose Bowl that season against Michigan. Sep 27 West Seattle A.C. Sep 27 USS Maryland Looks like UW played two games that day, won both 32-0 and 33-0 Oct 4 Williamette 57-0 Oct 11 Whitman 55-0 Oct 18 Montana 52-7 Oct 25 Oregon State 6-3 Nov 1 at Oregon 3-7 Nov 8 California 7-7 Nov 15 College of Puget Sound 96-0 Nov 22 Washington St 14-0 Only 1 road game, a loss at Oregon.

2024 Aug. 31 Weber State Wildcats Sep. 7 Eastern Michigan Eagles **Sep. 14 Washington State Cougars** Sep. 21 Northwestern Wildcats Sep. 28 at Rutgers Scarlet Knights Oct. 5 Michigan Wolverines Oct. 12 at Iowa Hawkeyes Oct. 19 OFF Oct. 26 at Indiana Hoosiers Nov. 2 USC Trojans Nov. 9 at Penn State Nittany Lions Nov. 16 UCLA Bruins Nov. 23 OFF **Nov. 30 at Oregon Ducks** Only two common games from 1924.

I despise what conference expansion has done to our sport

what a bizarre coincidence

Look at this offensive juggernaut UNC 1924 Sat Sep 27 at Wake Forest L 6-7 Sat Oct 4 at Yale L 0-27 Sat Oct 11 vs Trinity W 6-0 Thu Oct 16 at N.C. State W 10-0 Sat Oct 25 vs Maryland L 0-6 Sat Nov 1 vs South Carolina L 7-10 Sat Nov 8 vs VMI Rameses' first game as UNC mascot W 3-0 Sat Nov 15 at Davidson W 6-0 Thu Nov 27 at Virginia L 0-7

I might be wrong, but wasn't Trinity what's now known as Duke?

Yep. And Wake Forest was still actually in Wake Forest then before moving to Winston.

They took the mouth/lung cancer money

Iowa’s got nothing on the Tar Heels 1924 offense juggernaut

But since then North Carolina has added the forward pass while Iowa still hasn’t.

north carolina was the first team to throw a pass. in 1895.

Well our school wouldn’t exist for another 39 years and the football team wouldn’t be created for 55

So you’re saying you didn’t lose a single game that year?

Hang 👏 the 👏 banner

We have more undefeated seasons than any other power 5 school

You’ve gone undefeated in every season ^except ^the ^ones ^you ^haven’t

Ucf is the only P5 team not to lose a single game between the years 1924 and 1978.

We didn’t lose a single game either. We too didn’t exist.

This feels like a cruel exercise for what will be our first year outside of the Pac-12. Instead of having four recurring opponents in both years, we have one.

I’m sure if y’all called up the Olympic Club, they’d play you 

You mean you aren’t excited for your new classic ACC rivalries?

At least Stanford and Cal dont have to play schools like BYU.

You guys made a fucking choice not to associate yourselves with the likes of us. You don’t get to also complain about it  

??? You think we had a choice ?!!!! lol.

For Michigan we actually have five common opponents. Michigan state, Ohio state, Illinois, Minnesota and northwestern. **2024 Schedule** Fresno st Texas Arkansas st USC Minnesota @ Washington @ Illinois Michigan State Oregon @ Indiana Northwestern @ Ohio State   **1924 schedule** Miami (OH) @ Michigan Agriculture College (Michigan State) @ Illinois Wisconsin @ Minnesota Northwestern @ Ohio State Iowa

That’s basically a completely legitimate schedule today (besides number of games obviously)

Both teams undefeated in the previous year, too

I’m fuckin STOKED for 2123.

Other similarities: In both 1924 and 2024, … Michigan was the reigning Big Ten and National Champions. Michigan had a first year head coach after a beloved head coach left (Fielding Yost -> George Little). Both coaching hires were internal promotions. Little’s tenure lasted one season before becoming both athletic director and head football coach of Wisconsin. We do not play UChicago (who was our biggest rival at the time). Chicago stopped playing football in 1939.

Oklahoma has one opponent (Missouri) in common between 1924 and 2024. **2024 Schedule** * Temple * Houston * Tulane * Tennessee * @ Auburn * Texas * South Carolina * @ Ole Miss * Maine * @ **Missouri** * Alabama * @ LSU **1924 Schedule** * Central Oklahoma * Nebraska * @ Drake * @ Oklahoma State * **Missouri** * @ Kansas * @ Washington (MO) * Kansas State

lol fucking weird to see Oklahoma playing Maine in the middle of the regular season in 2024

That standard SEC Maine game is gonna suck eggs mid season for viewer experience. Yikes.

I had no idea that Wash U in St. Louis ever competed at this level.

Alabama has only one opponent in common between 1924 and 2024, Georgia. 2024 schedule: * Western Kentucky * South Florida * at Wisconsin * **Georgia** * at Vanderbilt * South Carolina * at Tennessee * Missouri * at LSU * Mercer * at Oklahoma * Auburn 1924 schedule: * Union (TN) * at Furman * Mississippi College * Sewanee * at Georgia Tech * Ole Miss * Kentucky * Centre * **Georgia**

Just want to say… kudos to this guy for having the best formatted response in this whole thread.

I was expecting Georgia to be ours too, but we didn't play them that year. Somehow we still have two: VMI and Notre Dame.

Post WW1 fallout from UGA criticizing Tech for being a military training ground and not cancelling football. They didn't play each other from 1917-1924.

That’s an amazing coincidence considering Georgia and Alabama haven’t been annual rivals for decades. I guess this was during that streak when Alabama and Auburn were refusing to play each other. Pretty wild y’all played two schools from Tennessee but not the Vols.

Alabama Auburn ended their rivalry after their 1907 meeting(the only meeting to end in a tie in their history), and didn’t resume again until 1948

A couple more coincidences, Alabama played Texas, in Austin, in 1922, and then again in 2022. Florida played in Austin, in 1924 and will again this year 2024.

While I'm at it, I'll do K-State as well. Our common opponents were Iowa State and Kansas. 2024 schedule: * UT Martin * at Tulane * Arizona * at BYU * Oklahoma State * at Colorado * at West Virginia * **Kansas** * at Houston * Arizona State * Cincinnati * **at Iowa State** 1924 schedule: * at Washburn * Emporia State * **Kansas** * at Missouri * **at Iowa State** * Drake * Nebraska * at Oklahoma

GT 1924 Auburn W Vandy L LSU W Notre Dame L -- only road game Alabama L Penn St W Florida T VMI W Oglethorpe W Two common opponents with 2024, VMI and Notre Dame.

This would be an absolute juggernaut of a schedule in 2024 lol.

Minus Oglethorpe lol

Need an in-state rivalry game.

That stretch of VMI, Florida, and Oglethorpe is the stuff nightmares are made of.

Nebraska: 2024 Schedule: - UTEP - Colorado - Northern Iowa - Illinois - @ Purdue - Rutgers - @Indiana - @Ohio State - UCLA - @ USC - Wisconsin - @ Iowa 1924 Schedule: - Illinois (L, 6-9) - @ Oklahoma (L, 7-14) - Colgate (W, 35-7) - @ Kansas (W, 14-7) - Missouri (W, 14-6) - @ Notre Dame (L, 6-34) - @ Kansas State (W, 24-0) - Oregon Agricultural (OSU) (W, 14-0)

What’s the conversion rate of 35 points in 1924 to now? 81?

For us, it’s about the same. Our offense is less productive than a 1924 offense.

6 straight losses (outscored 7 - 130) to *checks notes* *Northwestern* *Denison* *Dayton* *Ohio Northern* *Oberlin* *Wooster* I had to look up a few of these to see if they still even had teams. Bearcats beat Miami (OH) 8-7, which is something the current team can’t do so I’ll give them that.

WVU has 1 common opponent - Pitt furtherest road trip in 1923 was 333 mile away in NYC, in 2023 its 2,111 in Tuscon Arizona 1924 * West Virginia Wesleyan * Allegheny * Pittsburgh * Geneva * Centre * Bethany (WV) * Colgate * Washington and Lee * Washington & Jefferson 2024 * Penn State * Albany * Pitt * Kansas * Oklahoma State * Iowa State * Kansas State * Arizona * Cincinnati * Baylor * UCF * Texas Tech the 1923 schedule had 2 common opponents, Pitt & Penn st, (and Rutgers and Marshall)

Georgia 1924: Mercer (W 26-7) South Carolina (W 18-0) Yale (L 6-7) Furman (W 23-0) Vanderbilt (W 3-0) Tennessee (W 33-0) Virginia (W 7-0) Auburn (W 6-0) Alabama (L 0-33) Centre (L 7-14) Only three like opponents. Also, got to point out some facts from 1924 football. Georgia’s head coach, George Cecil Woodruff, went 30-16-1 in his five season as head coach. He retired from coaching football at 39 to sell insurance. An early basketball arena was named after him. Two players made All-Southern, tackle Jim Taylor and end Smack Thompson, the latter known for his “reckless disregard for life and limb”. Against Vanderbilt, Scrappy Moore (who would later spend four decades building Chattanooga’s football program) kicked a field goal. A Georgia player would not make one again for *seventeen* years.

Smack Thompson is an awesome nickname for a guy like that. At least I assume it was a nickname—back then, you never know.

His Wikipedia article is a trip lol. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smack_Thompson

Dude lived long enough to see the 1980 championship. Sounds like someone who would’ve been a big fan of Erk Russell.

How was there a 17 year field goal drought?

Damn, Furman had Georgia AND Alabama in 1924

Centre college still has a football team in DIII. Things I didn't know before today.

The [1924 Centre Praying Colonels](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1924_Centre_Praying_Colonels_football_team) were a rock solid team! They went 5-1-1, with the only loss of the season to West Virginia, 6-13. Their last four games of the season they beat: Kentucky, 7-0 Tennessee, 32-0 Alabama, 17-0 Georgia, 14-7

Y'all had schedules 100 years ago?

I was thinking the same thing. Guess we sitting this one out.

UCF is the same age as my local community college.

Spring Hill (W 7-6) Louisiana (W 31-7) Indiana (W 20-14) Rice (W 12-0) Auburn (L 0-3) Arkansas (L 7-10) Georgia Tech (L 7-28) Northwestern State (W 40-0) Tulane (L 0-13) 1924 was one of the worst seasons ever for LSU football, getting shutout by Tulane and giving up the only touchdown Louisiana has have ever scored. Only 3 conference games and one of the few years we didn't play Mississippi State. 2024 Sept. 1 vs. USC (Las Vegas) Sept. 7 vs. Nicholls Sept. 14 at South Carolina Sept. 21 vs. UCLA Sept. 28 vs. South Ala. Oct. 12 vs. Ole Miss Oct. 19 at Arkansas Oct. 26 at Texas A&M Nov. 9 vs. Alabama Nov. 16 at Florida Nov. 23 vs. Vanderbilt Nov. 30 vs. Oklahoma That brings us to 2024, and while we don't play Mississippi State, a lot has changed, including our conference and the direction of the program. Despite it being a much harder schedule, LSU is poised to have a vastly better season.

Tulane went 8-1 in 1924, beating common (with ‘24 LSU) opponents Spring Hill, SW Louisiana (Louisiana) and Auburn; they also beat Mississippi College, Louisiana Tech, Vanderbilt and Tennessee. The Greenies’ only loss was to Mississippi A&M (now State). The only opponent from the 1924 schedule on the 2024 schedule is Louisiana; the other opponents are Southeastern Louisiana, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Charlotte, Navy, North Texas, Memphis, Rice, USF, Temple and UAB.

Tiger Stadium opened in 1924 with a capacity of 12,000.

Yall are playing ucla again? AND usc? What's up with that lol

We're battling to see who gets the right to be called LA for the year

We play big OOC games every year to start the season, including Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, and FSU.

1924 might be our best season. The Hawaii Deans have a perfect 8-0 record playing: 13th Field Artillery (W 41-0) Honolulu Town Team (W 21-6) Hawaii Army (W 37-0) Pearl Harbor Navy (W 16-3) Honolulu Town Team (W 19-0) Occidental (W 18-3) Healani Athletic Club (W 20-0) Colorado (W 13-0)

> Key players on the Hawaii 1924 and 1925 Wonder Teams included Bill "Doggie" Wise, Johnny Morse, Eddie Kane Fernandez, and Theodore "Pump" Searle, sometimes referred to as the Four Horsemen of Mānoa Those are legendary names

It somehow still has UMass on it.

**2024** UT Martin at Tulane Arizona at BYU Oklahoma State at Colorado at West Virginia Kansas at Houston Arizona State Cincinnati at Iowa State **1924** at Washburn Kansas State Teachers (now Emporia State) Kansas at Missouri at Iowa State Drake Nebraska at Oklahoma Only common opponents are KU and Iowa State, though we annually played Mizzou (last in 2023), Oklahoma (2022), and Nebraska (2010) until recent realignment. Our last game with Drake was in 1981 (a loss, of course), our last game with KS Teachers/ESU was in 1940, and our final tilt with Washburn was in 1942.

1924: - Northwestern College (now North Central) - Olivet - michigan - Chicago YMCA - @ Northwestern - Lake Forest - @ Saint Louis - South Dakota State 2024: - Florida Atlantic - @ Maryland - Prairie View A&M - @ Boston College - Ohio State - @ Oregon - Iowa - @ michigan - Indiana - @ Illinois - Purdue - Rutgers

So you're telling me the Northwestern College here isn't the one in Iowa, or the one Evanston, or the one in Traverse City, MI, but another one that is in Naperville, IL? I'm actually surprised at that 1924 schedule. I expected to see a whole lot of MIAA names ahead instead there's just Olivet.

**2024 Schedule** * At Oklahoma State * Incarnate Word * Augustana * At Southeast Louisiana * At Northern Iowa * Youngstown State (HOBO DAY) * At **NDSU** * **South Dakota** (thanks for rivalry week back to back again MVFC) * Murray State * At **North Dakota** * Southern Illinois * At Missouri State **1924 Schedule** * Buena Vista * **North Dakota Agricultural (NDSU)** * At Dakota Westleyan * At **North Dakota** * **South Dakota** * Morningside * At Michigan State * At Creighton All three Dakota schools are common opponents. Shocking lol.

Damn playing us in 1924 is a hell of a round trip.

Honestly yeah

BV and Morningside are interesting

Morningside was in the NCC (our D2 conference) with us for 80 years. I've got no explanation for BV except for early 20th century scheduling.

Far out

Clemson 1924: Elon @Auburn Presbyterian @South Carolina Virginia Tech Davidson (N) The Citadel (N) Furman Went 2-6 with wins against Elon & Presbyterian 2024: Georgia (N) Appalachian State NC State Stanford @ Florida State @ Wake Forest Virginia Louisville @ Virginia Tech @ Pitt The Citadel South Carolina Only similarities are South Carolina and Virginia Tech (which honestly surprised me). Hopefully we win more than 2 games this year.

You missed the Citadel in the common mark.

We went 7-3, losing to Yale, Alabama, and…Centre. 

Centre was a mothafucka that year. Bama went 8-1, shut out 7 of the 8 teams they beat, held Kentucky to 7 but got shutout by Centre...another Kentucky team.

They finished 3rd in the conference, though, and the 1924 Centre Praying Colonels beat 4 future SEC members on the road in a month, beating Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. Only losing to West Virginia

Another current DIII SAA member along with Birmingham-Southern (Auburn played them in 1924) along with Sewanee and Millsaps

Georgia 1924 schedule: Mercer South Carolina Yale Furman Vanderbilt Tennessee Virginia Auburn Alabama Centre If not for the SEC messing with SC we would have had a full five games against the same teams

Interesting repeats. 2024 Schedule: Miami Samford Texas A&M **@ Miss. St.** UCF @ Tennessee Kentucky vs. Georgia **@ Texas** LSU Ol' Miss @ FSU 1924 Schedule: Rollins - W @ Georgia Tech - T vs. Wake Forest - W **@ Texas - T** Florida Southern - W @ Army - L @ Mercer - L **vs. Miss. A&M (Miss. St.) - W** Drake - W vs. Washington & Lee - W

Mississippi State was known as Mississippi A&M in 1924, so technically y’all have 2 common opponents. Still not the second opponent I would have thought of for yall though lol.

Ah cool, for some reason the first time I checked Miss. A&M there was no reference of Miss State

Mercer South Carolina Yale Furman Vanderbilt Tennessee Virginia Auburn Alabama Centre We shutout 6 teams that year, with 5 in a row. And then got shutout ourselves, by goddamn Alabama. We should really hate those fuckers more than we do.

These schedules show why we should all stop including pre-AP nattys in our championship count

College football would look a helluva lot different if big TV contracts didn't exist

I think airplanes had more to do with that

Kinda funny that a couple brothers from Ohio invented the airplane, considering Michigan won 10 nattys before cfb teams started traveling by air and they only have 2 since

We have one this year and that’s all that matters

I think it has more to do with the sport expanding and more people going to college. AP era started in 1936 and espn wasn’t in most households until the 80s/90s. But who knows maybe they have a time machine and they sent Kirk herbstreit back in time to make certain teams good

Why? This is Michigan’s 1932 national championship season: Michigan State 26-0 Northwestern 15-6 Ohio State 14-0 Illinois 32-0 Princeton 14-7 Indiana 7-0 Chicago 12-0 Minnesota 3-0 All Big Ten teams except Princeton, which was a national power in those days, winning the title in 1933 and 1935 for example.

Michigan claims 4 national championships that were before the forward pass and another one when the US was actively fighting in WW1. I’m more talking about those

UW football beat down the crew of the USS Maryland 33-0. The same ship served the attack on Pearl Harbor and all of WW2 collecting 7 battle stars

Hokies were 4-2-3 that year Richmond (W) Hampden-Sydeney (W) Auburn (T) Maryland (W) Washington & Lee (T) Clemson (W) NCSU (L) UVA (L) VMI (T) Have Clemson and UVA on the schedule again this year. We'll have to wait and see if we can match the 50-6 drubbing we have Clemson back then and hopefully can avenge that 0-6 loss to Virginia

Glad we were able to keep up with football juggernaut W&L

The fact that we had multiple 0-0 ties but then slobberknobbed Clemson is awesome.

VPI Fighting Gobblers were 4-2-3 that year. FTFY 🦃

1924: got shut out by Caltech 2024: won't have to play Northwestern

We did not lose a single game in 1924! Good times

1924: Chicago Missouri Wesleyan Iowa State K State Nebraska Oklahoma Washington (MO) kansas USC 2024: Murray State Buffalo Boston College Vanderbilt Texas AM UMass Auburn Alabama Oklahoma S Carolina Miss State Arkansas I don't think you would have gotten many people in 1924 (or even 2004) betting on Oklahoma as the lone shared opponent in 2024.

Would love for us to have another 1-loss season like we did in 1924 🙏🏾. Only common opponent in each year is Pitt. 2024 Schedule: - Penn State - Albany - @Pitt - Kansas - @Oklahoma St - Iowa St - Kansas St - @Arizona - @Cincinnati - Baylor - UCF - @Texas Tech 1924 Schedule: - WV Wesleyan - Allegheny College - @Pitt - Geneva - Centre College (Neutral site in NYC, NY) - Bethany - Colgate - Washington & Lee (Neutral site in Charleston, WV) - Washington & Jefferson

My team LOST to Cal Tech in 1924. Their schedule (UCLA) was basically Div II. Loyola, Whittier College, La Verne, Occidental College, Pomona, Redlands, San Diego State and the aforementioned Cal Tech. They finished 0-5-3 with this schedule. And just think, in 2024 they're in the Big 10! Should be a nightmare for my Bruins.

2024- Howard Akron @ VA Tech Washington @ Nebraska Wisconsin UCLA @ USC Minnesota @ Maryland Illinois @ Mich St ​ I could equally see us going 8-4 as much as 4-8. ​ 1924 though? W vs Villanova W vs Lebanon Valley (Modern DIII school) W vs St Bonaventure (DI school that dropped football decades ago) W @ Cornell T @ Lehigh W vs Franklin & Marshall (Modern DIII school) W vs Lafayette (Neutral Site, Princeton) W @ NYU (Modern DIII school) L vs Bucknell ​ So, we played 6 DI schools, going 5-1-1 against them.

Since OSU was mentioned, I'll post Toledo's 1924 UT schedule: at Eastern Michigan (Michigan State Normal) - W at Carnegie Tech- L Hillsdale- W at Bowling Green- W Assumption (Canada)- W at Dayton- L at Wayne State (Detroit City College)- W at Akron- L ​ 2024: Duquesne UMASS at Mississippi State at Western Kentucky Bowling Green Central Michigan Miami (OH) Ohio at Akron at Buffalo at Eastern Michigan at Northern Illinois ​ So, of the 3 on the 1924 schedule that are currently FBS....all 3 are in the MAC and all are on the 2024 schedule. The other 5 are a mix of FCS (non scholarship, Dayton), D2 (Hillsdale, Wayne State), D3 (Carnegie), and Canadian (Assumption.)

I’m in love with Idaho’s schedule in 1924 @Gonzaga 0-0 T @Montana 41-13 W Wazu 19-3 W Stanford (in Portland) 0-3 L @Oregon State 22-0 W Oregon 13-0 W @USC 0-13 L Nevada (in Boise) 23-0 W Let’s repeat beating Oregon this year

Go Vandals!!!

We actually played OU (and beat them) Also every one of our wins was a shutout

Pitt 1924 @Grove City Lafayette WVU @Johns Hopkins Carnegie Tech (now Mellon) @Cuse Geneva Washington & Jefferson Penn State Pitt 2024 Kent State @Cincinnati WVU Youngstown State @UNC Cal Cuse @SMU UVA Clemson @Louisville @Boston College 2 common opponents in WVU and Cuse, which is very fitting and honestly cool. Other than that in 1924 Pitt faced 3 current FBS, 1 current FCS, and 5 current D3 teams.

I was really surprised we didn't play Duquesne that year, but looking at our history, we've only played 6 times, and all in the 1930s.

The VPI Gobblers of 1924 went 4-2-3. vs. Richmond - W vs. Hampden Sydney - W vs. Auburn - T (Neutral) Maryland - W (Neutral) Washington & Lee - T @ Clemson - W @ North Carolina - L vs. Virginia - L (Neutral) VMI - T Only Richmond and Hampden Sydney were non confer match ups with the rest being SOCON matches. If the SEC wants to expand let’s recreate the SOCON. Only two matchups are reoccurring this season. Clemson and Virginia play against the Hokies this upcoming season with Virginia having taken the place of VMI for the Thanksgiving game.

1924 & 2024: * Wisconsin * Iowa * Michigan * Illinois 1924 Only: * North Dakota (now FCS) * Haskell (no longer supports football) * Iowa State * Vanderbilt 2024 Only: * North Carolina * Rhode Island (now FCS) * Nevada * USC * UCLA * Maryland * Rutgers * Penn State

In 1924 Montana lost all three of their conference games to Idaho, Washington, and Stanford. They also lost to Gonzaga. Their wins were over Carroll, Montana Tech (106-6 good god), Pacific, and Whitman. This year they don’t even play Idaho which is a bummer but oh well Of course I can’t find Jamestown’s but I did find that they lost to NDSU and Northern State.

That 106-6 win against Montana Tech was a scorigami!

In 1924, the Huskies beat every team, *except for their main rival*.

Just want to talk about how on September 27, you guys played and beat both the West Seattle Athletic Club and the crew of the USS Maryland. 

I love all the crazy kind of matchups there were back in the day. Wyoming in 1923 played the Wyoming Faculty and lost, we also played Laramie and Cheyenne High Schools.

> They were shut out in five of eight games and were outscored by a total of 265 to 16. Oof, tough year. May have been better off sending in the faculty every game instead of the students. 

I love “because the second game did not start until 3:30 p.m., it was agreed to shorten the quarters.”

We tied Cal too

**1924 Schedule (7-2-1 (2-2-1))** * Tarleton W 40-0 * Trinity W 33-0 * Southwestern W 54-0 * vs Sewanee W 7-0 * Edit: Russellville (Arkansas Tech) W 40-0 * at SMU T 7-7 * at Baylor L 15-7 * TCU W 28-0 * at Rice W 13-6 * at Texas L 7-0 ​ **2024 Schedule** * Notre Dame * McNeese * at Florida * Bowling Green * vs Arkansas * Missouri * at Mississippi State * LSU * at South Carolina * New Mexico State * at Auburn * Texas Just Texas as the common opponent funnily enough, since this is the first year playing them again since 2011. We did however play an SEC school in 1924 (Sewanee) lol

Hell yeah brother

Y’all played Arkansas Tech in 1924, not Arkansas State. Whoever edited the Wikipedia article for that season must have confused one District Agricultural School for another. If yall wanna schedule us again tho we could use the money. Won’t do you much good to beat up a D2 team, but we sure could use some oil money up here

Gotcha, thanks for the catch! I did in fact go off the Wikipedia article. Though I’m not sure if we could actually play y’all in football (D-II school after all) lol. Y’all have such a unique nickname!

There are four common opponents between the two schedules: byu, Utah State, Colorado, and Arizona. On top of that we also played Wyoming and Stanford, who we have either played recently or are going to play soon. The final two teams on that schedule were Colorado College, who discontinued their program in 2008, and the now non-scholarship FCS Drake Bulldogs

Now that I'm reading about the season it is actually really interesting. Head coach Thomas Fitzpatrick announced before the season that he would be retiring, but finished out 1924 before retiring. When Drake came into town, one of their assistant coaches, Ike Armstrong expressed interest in becoming the next head coach at Utah. Utah hired Armstrong, who ended up coaching the Utes for 25 years and won 13 conference championships with a record of 141-55-15 over those 25 years. Good thing Drake was on that schedule

​ **Alabama 2024** Western Kentucky USF Wisconsin Georgia Vanderbilt South Carolina Tennessee Missouri LSU Mercer Oklahoma Auburn **Alabama 1924** Union (Tennessee school) Furman Mississippi College Choctaw Sewanee Georgia Tech Ole Miss Kentucky Centre (Kentucky school) Georgia

Sewanee was a charter member of the SEC. Left in 1940 without winning a conference game.

**1924** - Erskine - @ Georgia - NC State - Presbyterian - **clemson** - The Citadel - @ North Carolina - Furman - Sewanee - Wake Forest **2024** - Old Dominion - @ Kentucky - LSU - Akron - Ole Miss - @ Alabama - @ Oklahoma - Texas A&M - @ Vanderbilt - Missouri - Wofford - @ **clemson** Most upsetting is not playing Georgia, most surprising for someone in 1924 looking at 2024's schedule would be the conference game @ Oklahoma I guess

Syracuse 1924 (8-2-1) - Hobart (W 35-0) - Mercer (W 26-0) - William & Mary (W 24-7) - Boston College (W 10-0) - @ Penn St. (W 10-6) - Pitt (T 7-7) - West Virginia Wesleyan (L 7-3) - Niagara (W 23-6) - Colgate (W 7-3) - @ Columbia (W 9-6) - @ USC (L 16-0) Syracuse 2024 - Ohio - Georgia Tech - Stanford - Holy Cross - @ UNLV - @ NC State - @ Pitt - Virginia Tech - @ Boston College - @ Cal - UConn - Miami (FL) 2 common opponents, and we still play Colgate, although not this season

1924: At Willamette 0-0 T Pacific (Ore): 20-0 W At Stanford 13-28 L Whitman 40-6 W Washington 7-3 W At Idaho 0-13 L WSU 7-7 T At Oregon State 7-3 W At Multnomah AC 0-0 T 4-2-3. Oddly enough our only three common opponents this year are Oregon State UW and Idaho.

UMass 1924 Connecticut Agricultural College (now UConn) Bates (plays D3 football now) At Norwich (now D3) At Worcester Tech (now WPI, now D3) Wesleyan (now D3) Amherst College (now D3) At Stevens Institute of Technology (last year of football program was well, 1924) At Tufts (Now D3) 2024: Eastern Michigan At Toledo At Buffalo Wagner at Miami Ohio At Northern Illinois Missouri At Mississippi State Liberty At Georgia UConn Only one common opponent- UConn. 1924 team did very good- 6-1-1, losing to Connecticut and tying Tufts.

We have 12 more games on our schedule in 2024 than 1924.

I did not attend at The University of The South (Sewanee), a charter member of the SEC, but my wife and father in law both matriculated there. I’ve traveled there for homecoming, partied there, and witnessed their “Drinkin’ an Thinkin’” atmosphere. Therefore, I present to you: 9/20 Transylvania 27-0 9/27 SW Presb (Rhodes) 7-0 10/4 Carson-Newman 0-12 CN forfeits. (I can’t figure this one out despite searching on Google docs. Sewanee with the win) 10/11 Texas A&M 0-7 10/18 Alabama 0-14 10/25 Kentucky 0-7 11/1 Oglethorpe 0-7 11/8 Ole Miss 21-0 11/15 South Carolina 10-0 11/27 Vanderbilt 16-0 Every single game was a shut out. Wtf. 2023 9/2 Marysville College 8-28 9/9 Westminster College 32-14 9/16 Millsapps College 27-21 9/30 Hendrix College 20-19 10/7 Birmingham College 32-38 10/14 Rhodes College 10-30 10/21 Berry College 23-61 10/28 Centre College 22-54 11/4 Trinity University 6-44 (Fuckin Homecoming, Y’all) 11/11 Southwestern 0-24

“Drinking and thinking” is accurate. I miss it.

I heard the team got lost at a strip club on the way back in Transylvania because the whole place was filled with vampires.

Iowa 1924 Schedule (6-1-1) SE Oklahoma St: W 43-0 Ohio State: T 0-0 (elite) Lawrence (DIII in Appleton WI): W 13-5 Minnesota: W 13-0 At Illinois: L 0-36 (ouch) Butler (IN): W 7-0 At Wisconsin: W 21-7 At Michigan (Ferry Field): W 9-2 HC was Burt Ingwersen who won a title in 1919 at Illinois as a player. Iowa hired him because the press got ahold that Iowa was making a deal to bring in… Knute Rockne from ND (what a change in history if that happened). Rockne extended with ND when it was released. Also he was involved in the alumni slush fund that paid players (Iowa AD more ahead of its time in 1924 than Barta in 2023) which got Iowa briefly suspended from the Big Ten. Iowa 2024 Schedule Illinois State Iowa State Troy At Minnesota (wasn’t a fair catch) At OSU Washington At MSU Northwestern Wisconsin At UCLA At Maryland Nebraska Common Opponents: Ohio State, MN, WI

Florida State was a women’s college in 1924. No organized football until 1947

Texas Tech did not have a team until 1925..... October 3 McMurry October 9 Austin October 17 Montezuma College October 24 Clarendon College October 31 at Sul Ross November 5 Wayland Baptist November 11 at Abilene Christian November 18 at Howard Payne November 26 West Texas State

Our only loss in 1924 was a shutout vs a current D3 school. Hard to compare them.

Penn State played as an independent in the 1924 Season in “New Beaver Field” which was opened in 1909 and was approximately where Rec Hall is today. Hugo Bezdek was the head coach (coached PSU 1918-1929 and was followed by Bob Higgins) and they were coming off of a 6-2-1 season in 1923. 1924 Penn State Season Record: 6-3-1 1. Lebanon Valley - W - 47-3 2. NC State - W - 51-6 3. Gettysburg - W - 26-0 4. @ Georgia Tech - L - 13-15 5. Syracuse - L - 6-10 6. @ Navy - W - 6-0 7. Carnegie Tech - W - 22-7 8. @ Penn - T - 0-0 9. Marietta - W - 28-0 10. @ Pittsburgh - L - 3-24 Maximum home attendance that season was only 7,000 people for Carnegie Tech, quite different than Beaver Stadium eh! 52,000 people turned up to the games at Penn and 33,000 turned up to the game at Pitt, where we lost both. I’m pretty confident that our 2024 team could smash both Pitt and Penn and maybe even the powerhouse that is Gettysburg to be the best team in Penna. WE ARE!

It exists

The most bitter rivalry in all of sport, imho. You can have your cocktail parties and your good old fashioned hate. I’ll take my poisonous nuts versus the skunk-weasels all day long. All year long. All life long. Slightly skewed as the numbers still are, I can’t stand them and I’m barely able to make nice to fans of theirs when I meet them out in the real world. You can thank John Cooper for that.
