Who here is (or has ever been) on a college football team??
As either a player, coach or assistant???

The only people I know of on DU are Adam F. Smith (played for the Oregon Ducks) and myself (student assistant for the North Dakota State Bison). And I haven't seen Adam around DU in a really long time.

Anyone else involved (or used to be) in a college football team as either a player, coach or assistant???

and if you could walk OR chew gum without regard to chronological congruence you could be on the team.

6. Sweet.
I know that MIT still has a football team.

Division III, I believe.

At least that's what the sign at the Rose Bowl said a few years ago!

8. I think that was one of the stunts they pulled

in the past. After but like the University of Washington (I think) card stunt reprogramming.

The security - and law enforcement - as tightened up over the years and they don't do that sort of thing anymore.

As far as I know, they never played MIT in anything athletic but the school's been there for a hundred years so ...

Caltech is (or was) in SCIAC which includes Calremont, Pomona, Occidental, etc.

9. I was a heavily recuited defensive back
out of high school. Not by any major major Division schools but several smaller Div II and Div III schools. Played one year for Angelo State for one year and was a total bust.

10. Yes, I know . ..
:P

I was there. It was a UCLA game (it must've been, since those are the only games I've been to at the Rose Bowl). It only flashed a while, then the scoreboard went dead. But it was funny.
