On this date in 1913

[JJacket]

We played our first game at Grant Field. We beat Camp McPherson 19-0.

 

[coit]

It was a mighty fine day.

Glad your old age did not keep you indoors that day!

Why did they choose to play so close to campus? Strange. Why not at a company-named field with red seats miles away?

 

[BigDanT]

I knew there was a worse football attendance somewhere

A rare shot of the original ramblin reck before it got chopped into a hot rod for a few years.

Were you at the game? And if not would you have been if it was Bobby Dodd?

Butthurt.

Probably because nobody back then asked stupid questions.

Would you have been at the game if you lived in Iowa? I'll see y'all in South Bend. BTW there are some nice hotels in Mishawaka

Iowa didn't exist in 1913.

 

[BigDanT]

Would you have been at the game if you lived in Iowa?

Lol no. But if you had been at the Benz Saturday you might think differently now. If Tech gets rolling I could see this being a major positive.

There is a large contingent on this board that reflexively criticizes what it does not understand.

 

[clapper]

Iowa didn't exist in 1913.

Wat???

 

[BeerNutts]

Wat???

Forget it, he's rolling.

Not our fault you live in a desolate hellhole.

That looks like baseball stands repurposed for football.

@coit got to sit in his car and watch the game. Rich ass ööööer. He even had a nicer ride than a POS Gladiator
