1) touchdowns were originally 3 points.
2) field goals were originally five points, then reduced to four, until they got to today's 3.
3) Tennessee colors were chosen in 1891 to represent daisies. Lol.
4) quarterbacks from Ala won the first three Super Bowls. Credit where it's due
5) the first American Football team to play on Foreign soil was LSU, taking on Havana university in the Bacardi bowl and floored them 56-0.
Just some that stood out.

So tired of this rumor being out there. It's not true at all.
It's not just the corps that does it. It's the rest of the students and alumni too, and we ALL do it, not just some.

Nice.
