Not-so-fun fact: George Allen may have passed away due to the after effects of getting a Gatorade bath at Long Beach State

Videos like this make me realize how resilient Marshall was to keep their program going

Really wish creighton had kept their team. The Midwest could use some more FBS teams

Fun fact- the absolutely jacked fella in the Long Beach segment, Leon Burns, broke multiple NCAA rushing records at LB due to being 5-10 years older than everyone he played, having served a prison sentence right after high school. He remains the oldest first round pick in NFL history, entering the league at 29 years old.

The 1983 creighton football team was the greatest football team of all time. It’s sad not a lot of people got to see them play 😂

I would enjoy seeing a video about D2 or D3 schools that have won D1 National Championships. Such as Johns Hopkins lacrosse or Minnesota-Duluth Ice Hockey

I can't wait for the video on the former Big West football programs

It’s really fascinating learning about how WW2 affected college athletics so much. That would actually be an awesome video, talking about how it killed some programs, helped make Army and Navy into dynasties, the flight school football teams, and made some odd rivalries like Notre Dame-Navy

It would be cool if you did a video strickly in Gonzaga as a college basketball program and about all its hurdles it has had to climb to get where it is today!

i wish UChicago and NYU were still D1 and had their football teams

Another interesting one to add... Pepperdine in Malibu, CA

Should do video on Hofstra’s former football program that was axed after 2009 season given the many NFL players it produced like Wayne Chrebet and Marques Colston

A not-so-fun fact for WYOMING fans...In the early 1920s, Gonzaga destroyed Wyoming, 77-0, in our worst loss ever in Wyoming history (1893-present).

Thanks for doing a segment on Long Beach St, and not mentioning the shark. :P Also, thanks for mentioning Terrell Davis, who played his Freshman Year at The Beach under Willie Brown, and redshirted for George Allen, who recruited him. One correction... LB joined the CCAA in FB in 1958, not the Big West, which didn't exist yet. LB was one of the 7 schools that formed the Big West, then called the PCAA, Pacific Coast Athletic Association, on July 1, 1969, for the 1969 football season. They should have had a second bowl game for winning the 1980 conference title, but the PCAA had no bowl affiliation that year. The California Bowl in Fresno would be created in 1981. UNDEFEATED SINCE 1991! LOL

Pacific? Univ of Santa Barbara? Santa Clara? Crazy they don’t have teams, just California teams

Your vids are so awesome! Imagine today a rivalry of Creighton and Wichita State in football. That would be amazing! But alas money always talks. But keep up with the fun videos. Love the history!PS could you consider doing a video on San Francisco and Santa Clara? I know a few folks on the west coast who ask why their programs ended. Thanks

You should make a video about which FCS teams are most likely to make the jump to the FBS next!

Please make a video on The Big West

Great video idea, but what about Hofstra

The University of Denver hasn't had a football team since 1962. How about doing one on that school.

The vote by Cal State Long Beach students meant they would have to pay for football to come back! That’s a different question than asking the, if they want football at their school.

This is great! Would love to see a long form video about defunct conferences / football programs! Love the content

Heard rumors that Xavier (cincy) is in the works of fielding a program similar to Butler

Here’s a video idea I think you’ll like: Take the schools mentioned in this video (including the ones you only mentioned in the beginning) and rank them based on each school’s ability to put together a football team.

You should do Chicago and their original membership in the Big Ten (which technically continues today, along with an association with John's Hopkins for lacrosse)

On the subject of famous basketball schools: St. John's.

You should tell the story of UAB’s program! Great videos btw!

I would love to see a video about the St. Mary's football program. They dropped football a couple of years after i graduated and out all those resources towards the basketball program. I miss the football team. I would take it back even if it were a Division 3 program now.

Great video, would love to see a what if video about if Michigan never rejoined the Big 10 in 1917.

Football is in a little bit of trouble because of the risk of concussions and it’s not necessarily football‘s fault. When I was a kid in the 70s, we played tackle football with no padding and almost nobody got hurt because like rugby players no, you learn to keep your head out of the way after that first your head as a kid. additionally over the last 20 years of the advent of cell phones, social media, video games, and helicopter parents who are afraid to let their children out of the house, children do not play outside and climb trees, and ‘ do dangerous things in a safe manner’ which allows them to build strength, especially core strength, and physical and mental resilience. As a lacrosse coach, I realize that it wasn’t the hits or the contacts that caused most concussions, but when somebody was knocked off balance, and they hit their head. That was mainly due to the fact that even though these kids played sports since they were kids they still didn’t have the course strength necessary to keep their balance in the first place and also where they are in space safe. There’s also a reason that in my experience playing against Canadian teams, they’re not only usually better than American teams at least in lacrosse, but they also play rough because they have national healthcare and they’re not worried about their kids getting hurt because they know that they’ll get treatment instead of their family going bankrupt. This is another reason why football is declined because we don’t have national healthcare and many families cannot afford to have their child hurt . I also work as a teacher and I’ve seen the negative effects of trying to keep children safe on the playground. And an effort to keep children safe we have taken all the equipment off the playground that allows them to try dangerous things at their ability safely. Like all things in life we need to practice to make progress and improve and that means starting at 34 and five years old doing dangerous things safely, roughhousing, playing tag, however, sadly, we have taken this all away from children and wonder why they are still getting hurt hurt. We also wonder why this is a generation of depression and anxiety. Go find the book the anxious generation. I would love to see all of these things in our society resolved so that sports like football could start growing again and possibly even expand college football ; and moreover, that football coaches would more readily except Lacrosse as a way to develop their football players to make them stronger, more flexible, and develop the skills to avoid injury, but sadly many football coaches at least here in the Northwest USA are indifferent to outwardly hostile to their football players playing lacrosse.

It would be cool what could happen if we replace all the college football teams with the defunct college football teams that are still considered in Division 1 or used to have football programs in Division 1 with College Football 25.

BYU-I (at the time Ricks College) once had a football team until 2001. It's interesting because it wasn't a money issue, quite the opposite given the LDS Church is massively wealthy. Even 23 years later, the football stadium on campus is kept up to date despite now only rec league football being played

Do a video on North American university’s football team

could they start up a program in the Pioneer and test the waters before fully investing into a team to bring to a FCS or G5 conference (probably P4 in Gonzaga’s case)

Can you do the entirety of big east teams that don’t? As a USF fan growing up that was some of the best football before the split between bb/fb schools

You should do a video on why the other major Wisconsin universities (Marquette, Milwaukee, and Green Bay) don’t have football programs

As a Long Beach State alumni, i would love a football team.

I just subscribed to your channel

Was about to say "Houston Stockton" sounds like what we'd call John Stockton if he played for the rockets 💀 then you dropped the bomb

You got a super underrated channel brother, hope you keep growing and wishin you the best

After Creighton’s President won the Heisman Trophy, NFL MVP, and stopped Goldenface from blowing up the NHL All-Star Game, he had a nice NFL career until he tore his ACL on bad turf in 1986. The good news is he now lives a relaxing life in Hawaii.

Go East with this idea. You could cover most of the Northeast with the several private schools and at least one flagship public school for the region (University of Vermont) dropping football. Many of these schools today focus on basketball and/or hockey and have had success in one or both sports.

I love the what if type questions so here's one I mentioned in another comment. What if DePaul had football and Creighton and St. Louis kept their teams into the 60s and 70s? We could have had a Midwestern based league consisting of DePaul, Creighton, Marquette, St. Louis, Wichita State, Detroit Mercy, Xavier, Dayton, and Butler that would have been a VERY solid basketball league and played something at least resembling a current MAC/Sun Belt type of football conference. Instead, 7 of the 9 no longer have football teams at all, and the 2 that do (Butler and Dayton) have low budget non scholarship teams that would be at the D3 level if the NCAA let them play down there.

Would like to see a video on some of the Big East schools that don’t have one. As an Ohioan, I’ve always wanted Xavier to have a program. Would get to see the crosstown showdown with Cincinnati on the football field and maybe establish a rivalry with another Catholic school in southwestern Ohio, U Dayton

I already commented on the community post with this but I will never miss the chance to say how the university of Nebraska puts the screws to any other team in the state. Got UNO football killed when they moved to D1 and Trev Alberts got to fail upwards after gutting the school. Creighton, if they ever decided to return to football, would literally have to put up with political pressure in the state to keep Nebraska the only game in town. When UNO was a division TWO team they couldn't play home games on the same day as Nebraska. Absurd.

One school that I've never understood not having a team is UNCW. Pretty decent sized school population, with a lot of competition nearby to play in either Div 2 or Div 1

Add UC Riverside, San Fran State, CSUN, CSUF, Pepperdine, UCSB, Pacific just to mention a few.

I'm from the Washington DC area and George Washington University, although it's a private university, is the largest college in the city. The Colonials (Now known as the Revolutionaries) had a Football program, only briefly stopping for WWII, from 1881 to 1966. During that span they played against at least six current teams in Division 1 FBS or FCS, most notably, Cincinnati, who were an Independent, West Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia and Virginia Tech, which were a part of the conference that spawned the Southeastern Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Southern Conference. Their one and so far only Bowl game they played was the 1956 Sun Bowl against UTEP (then known as Texas Western) which GW won. The best years of the program were from the 1930's after the onset of "The Great Depression" to the 1950's as the Southern Conference became smaller and not as large in their early years. Currently ,the only Colleges that currently play College Football in DC are Howard University and Georgetown, in which both of those programs are in the FCS, and Catholic University in Division 3. I think their story should be told in hopes of GW re-establishing the Football team and I also think you would be the best to tell their story. Furthermore, before the program was discontinued, they were a tenant at DC Stadium (Later renamed Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium , aka "RFK") and most of the time, they played their home games on Friday nights and shared the stadium with the then Washington Redskins (now Commanders) and the expansion Washington Senators (now the Texas Rangers) as well as prior to RFK being built, Shared Griffith Stadium with the original Washington Senators (now the Minnesota Twins) as well as the Skins

Do a video on Big East Football teams...

A cool video you could do would be about the first time the Rose Bowl was not played at the Rose Bowl.

Wake up honey, dalukes just posted another obscure cfb history video

Something I find interesting about Gonzaga not playing football, is that Gonzaga Prep is one of the top high school football programs in the state.

You should do something on the University of Tampa and Seewane

Talk about Marquette and Chicago

Wichita State used to have football team ,but they decided to disband it sometime after football divided into 2 divisions (FBS known as Division 1-A) and FCS (1-AA) that forced many teams to make decision whether they stay in 1-A or downgraded to 1-AA or disband football program.

5:49 Ouch

Fun fact, Gus Dorais moved to my hometown and bought the Chevy dealership a bit after he was done with football

Please do UMass Lowell

Particularly as a fan of a school who hasn't had football since 1950 (High Point), I do worry that non-football schools are getting screwed over by realignment if even Gonzaga is seen as an afterthought. This thinking is also ruining college basketball in general as well.

man, Gonzaga football always feels like a great idea

Would the allies have won WWII without Gonzaga? Interesting question worth asking.

You gotta bring that up huh? From a proud UK Fan and Mark Pope Believer.

The war really effected the old Bluejays, they realized they could buy shoes and balls a helluva lot cheaper than pads and helmets.

Talk about the downfall of Cal football.

Cal State Fullerton!

So Creighton was the real life Opposums?

Many schools stopped football during WWII. The NFL even combined the Eagles and. Steelers during WWII! You’re making it seem like these two schools were the only ones affected!

why doesn’t GCU have football? also UTampa not having football is wild lmao

Marquette. Vermont.

What students are voting against a football team at Long Beach State?

YES THE BIG WEST

What about Xavier?

GCU shoutout

First view

Future doctors and accountants is crazy lol

Long Beach State is Kenough. They just beach.

I'm shocked that you talk about LBSU and George Allen without discussing Allen's death. Per Wiki: "There was some speculation afterward that his death may have been caused by a form of Gatorade shower. On November 17, some of his Long Beach State players dumped a Gatorade bucket filled with ice water on him following a season-ending victory over UNLV; in an interview (...) (Allen) said that he had felt somewhat unwell since then. (...) (T)he temperature was in the 50s with a biting wind. Allen stayed on the field for media interviews for a considerable length of time in his drenched clothing, and remained in his wet clothing on the bus back to Long Beach State."

Wisconsin played Marquette way more than Nebraska and Creighton and Wisconsin won every single game every year for the first game of the season.

Being from Ohio originally and specifically from the Dayton area, I’d like to know why Wright State University doesn’t have a football team. As for the Pacific-12 collapsing, that is exactly why I am done with college sports. I do not like this new landscape at all. I wanted the Big 12 to completely die out because it was on the verge of collapse and they are as good as gone. This sucks too because I used to enjoy college football and college basketball. In fact, I used to like college sports more than professional. My team used to be Ohio State. Now, all they care about is money which is why UCLA and USC decided to join the Big Ten and that was the final straw for me. They don’t even care about any of us who want to watch the games, they don’t care about geography, and they don’t even care about the history, traditions, or even rivalries. I wonder how long that’s gonna last before they lose fans and money and even athletes

The University of North Florida has no football.

Vcu

Pacific

I'm so glad Marshall didn't let go of their football program it's unfortunate that a lot of programs had to let go of their football programs shows how resilient we are, We Are Marshall Once a Herd always a Herd 💚🦬
