Things were a lot more

Things were a lot more informal back then. Teams probably just played whenever both were free.

Awesome find, hopefully this year is one to remember for a lot of positive reasons.

A special kind of holiday before memorial day. What exactly does a score of 1-0 mean, though? Is that the equivalent of a field goal to nothing, or a touchdown?
I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.

I'm guessing that a 'Rusher' is equivalent to a modern-day 'Lineman'. Would a 'Goalkeeper' be the same as, say, a safety?
I keep forgetting that the forward pass wasn't legal yet...confusing. Nice research though.
