dude just found this channel, your videos kick ass!! we’re all waiting for part 2 👀

[@chanaco2010]

Dude the quality of this video is insane! we need a part 2. Hoping the algorithm comes back around in your favor soon, this video needs more views! as someone who isn't from a big college football city, but a huge sports fan in general, you helped me understand the history and essence of college football, the rivalries and why its as great as it is.

[@crosleyjones1144]

Stumbled across this channel and now this video and I can’t believe it hasn’t blown up yet. Can’t wait for part 2

[@Arbormediaco]

How is this channel not bigger!! Top notch content dude, keep it coming!

[@joshnunez5265]

Hey empire. I don’t want to fill you with false hope but I just found your vids and they’re incredible. I’m sorry KZbin has never pushed your vids but that might change because I don’t think I’m the only one just finding your stuff!

[@brandon-cs7fw]

waited a bit to watch this to let KZbin allow higher resolution, im not the most into football let alone sports but things like secret base will still catch my eye. this falls into that category; watching someone who knows what they're talking about talk about it with clean editing. another banger upload, even if a little unexpected to see a video like this on here. good job!

[@markphelt6395]

So that’s where the algorithm sent it? It’s alot of football fans in these here comments talking about how they stumbled across it and how did they miss this.

[@waltermoore32]

Incredible video, hyped for part 2! CFB is such a romantic sport, I'm glad so many others see it in that respect, Go Irish!!!

[@hluzanations8410]

Great video! I wanted to add that you mentioned the south not winning a national championship before Alabama in 1925, but in 1919 Texas A&M went 10-0 and did not allow a single point during the season outscoring opponents 275-0. I know in 1919 there was no contemporaneous system for determining a national champion, but they were named co champion along with Harvard and Notre Dame retroactively with the Billingsley Report in the late 1960’s.

[@zachbeaudoin4884]

Absolutely loved this video, the editing, the humor, the information, all awesome! Definitely have a new fan

[@ethanrosenthal9240]

He kept saying that the planes region wasn’t that good at football until Oklahoma in the 50s. He didn’t mention that Nebraska was actually quite good in the early 1900s and they were even offered to play in the first ever Rose Bowl. They were also the only team to beat Notre Dame’s four horsemen (twice).

[@jstu1259]

Well done! It's worth noting that Nebraska was the first team to employ a strength coach and after only a couple years of official strength training won back to back national titles causing every other team to follow suit.

[@daviddebord499]

Even the briefest college football history should contain at least a mention of Knute Rockne.

[@lionhearted7450]

Boss, you did a fantastic job on researching and proving clips, news articles, standings, pictures, & film which when you talking about late 1800’s that really impressive just to see a picture or a dash of film. Cannot wait for part 2!

[@chrisconley8583]

I lived in New England for well…. too many years. I’ve been on the campus of Princeton in New Jersey. You’ve got to be fucking kidding me if you think saying Princeton is in New England (twice) is a “fantastic job on researching”. If he can’t get the easy little things correct, I’m going to say he can’t get the big things correct.

omg finish this with a part two this is so good please finish this😭🙏

[@thewillofd4417]

Great video, really enjoyed it especially as a Michigan fan lol. Would love to see some more history videos on Michigan if you’d be willing, for example I believe Michigan should have 14 National Titles with their unclaimed 1973 and 1985 seasons you could make a serious argument they deserve to at least split with Notre Dame and OSU in 73 and Oklahoma in 85.

[@gibby9298]

Amazing video man. It’s a real shame the algorithm hasn’t pushed you enough yet, your channel is an absolute gem, keep up the great vids man.

Great video but I’m surprised John Heisman wasn’t at all mentioned

[@TheDrewsephEpidemic]

Hopefully this video is now getting the exposure it deserves. Good stuff my man👍

[@JSchaffer214]

Supposedly, Bear Bryant scheduled that game against USC to prove to the board of trustees, alumni and general public that in order to be successful, they needed to integrate. I don't know if it's true or not but I'm 100% positive that he didn't really care about skin color. The only thing he cared about was winning. If that meant integration then that's what had to happen. If the opposite had been true and segregation was called for, he'd probably go that route as well. I guess we'll never really know.

[@andrewlandeen1843]

Love this video!!! Can't wait for part 2. Keep it up and this channel will explode

[@professionalidiot7254]

Wow I know I’m a year late but the amount of views you get is criminal compared to the production quality, absolutely fantastic work man

[@justinkelley173]

Great video, although I was hoping for more about John Heisman at Georgia Tech (who won a southern title in 1917 before Alabama) and Bear Bryant at Alabama, who won three national titles in the 60s

I’m fucking screaming. Undefeated 1899 sewanne tigers only team to score on them was the Auburn tigers led by John Heisman. 6 road games in 7 days 6 shut outs. Played LSU and Tulane on the same day and still won. Only 11 players on the entire team in 1899!!!!!!!

[@thewalrusdragon9579]

It’s sad how much sports pushed for racial integration and equality is ignored today. As a white guy who grew up in Mississippi, I personally have known older white men who admitted it was playing/following sports that helped them overcome that old school programming pushed on them that white and black people weren’t equal. Playing high school football and winning a game because of the amazing black athlete on their team or their favorite team winning a championship or other important game because of a great black player on the team. May seem small and non-important, but in all actuality all major change starts small, and sports were one of those small things that sowed the seeds of the idea of racial equality. It may be just a game, but that game has influence on society, and thankfully it had a positive influence on ours.

_"Michigan would see its first undefeated streak...from 1883 to 1888."_ That's interesting, because my alma mater, Wesleyan University in Connecticut, beat Michigan 14-6 on November 19, 1883 in Hartford, Connecticut. It was the only time the two teams ever met.

[@empireonyt15]

I meant that the streak started in the 83' season and continued to 88', not that they went undefeated in either season

[@cisium1184]

@@empireonyt15 I get that, I'm saying November 19 is pretty late in the season. So we must have been one of the last teams, maybe even the last team, to beat them before their streak started. Edit: I searched the Michigan website and it looks like Michigan (1-0) toured the East from Nov. 19-29, 1883 for four games. Finished season 2-3. L Wesleyan 6-14 L Yale 0-46 L Harvard 0-3 W Stevens Institute of Technology 17-5 A 12/1/1883 _Michigan Argonaut_ article about the trip complains of "manifest unfairness of many of the referees[sic] decisions" in the Wesleyan and Harvard games.
