So I’m aware this is a bit of detour from my usual topics, but with college football being in full swing at the moment i figured I’d invest some time into detailing the rich history behind America’s #1 source of alcoholism. This is part one of two, covering college football’s roots to the mid 1900’s, I hope y’all enjoy!

CORRECTIONS -

While technically not a correction it should be stated that throughout the video I use modern logos/mascots to represent teams, even during eras where said logo or mascot was not used. This is primarily to avoid confusion and provide consistency throughout the video.

(4:48)Technically not untrue, but Harvard’s reintegration into the rest of New England football was more of a compromise on both sides than Harvard caving, with this compromise being responsible for much of the rugby elements present within football

(17:22)Alabama was not the first southern team to gain a national title. LSU gained one in 1908 and Georgia Tech gained one in 1917.
