Damn pussies from Michigan spoiled a perfect season by not leaving the Big House and forcing the Dores to go to Ann Arbor. 8 games in Ann Arbor and only 3 in Nashville. Dores played Michigan to a 0-0 tie in Nashville in 1922 and they have not been back since, more like chickens than wolverines. Played 3 times after that and all in Ann Arbor, so f*ck them!

1906 SIAA Champions (8-1-0)
10-06-1906 28-0 Kentucky
10-13-1906 29-0 Ole Miss
10-20-1906 78-0 Alabama
10-27-1906 45-0 Texas (made their arse quit the State Fair, now they play Oklahoma there)
11-03-1906 4-10 Michigan (scared chickens)
11-10-1906 33-0 Rose-Hulman Tech (IN)
11-17-1906 37-6 Georgia Tech (before they pussied out and fled fro the ACC)
11-22-1906 4-0 Carlisle Indian School (PA) these dudes were bas arse back in the day
11-29-1906 20-0 Sewanee

Man if a time machine ever gets invented one of the things I would want to do is go back and watch a football game around the turn of the century. Watching a game in the Big House in 1906 would be something to see..

Very much so.
quote:

By 1907, the Carlisle Indians were the most dynamic team in college football. They had pioneered the forward pass, the overhand spiral and other trick plays that frustrated their opponents. The Carlisle Indians have been characterized as the “team that invented football."

quote:

On November 9, 1912, Carlisle was to meet the U.S. Military Academy in a game at West Point, New York, between two of the top teams in the country. Pop Warner spoke to his team: “Your fathers and your grandfathers,” Warner began, “are the ones who fought their fathers. These men playing against you today are soldiers. They are the Long Knives. You are Indians. Tonight, we will know if you are warriors.”

That dramatic evening Carlisle routed Army 27-6. That game, played just 22 years after the last Army battle with the Lakota/Sioux at Wounded Knee, not only featured Jim Thorpe, but nine future generals including a linebacker named Dwight D. Eisenhower.
