How can you talk about Fordham and NOT mention that one of the "blocks of granite" was Vince Lombardi???

[@WrongedSports]

Their best season was 1937, when they went unbeaten. I mentioned them quickly towards the end and in other videos that I have done. But thanks for watching

[@nicholasbarber3644]

why didn't you mention yale they had the heisman that year and the heisman the next year

[@WrongedSports]

Because they weren't in the national title picture due and in trying to keep these videos under 30 mins. But thanks for watching

[@nicholasbarber3644]

@@WrongedSports how was the Heisman from an ivy league school that the question

[@WrongedSports]

@@nicholasbarber3644 the Heisman Trophy had totally different voting for the first few awards then it does now. And Ivy League teams were the SEC of college football before World War 2. I have a few videos about it

[@nicholasbarber3644]

@@WrongedSports yeah in those days the sec were hated on and they loved teams like big 10 and ivy league

Was there a cross country meet going on during the middle of this football game? 7:45

[@WrongedSports]

Haha I wondering the same thing. But I think it was practice. Thanks for watching

I'd say track rather than cross-country.
