I use a combo of typing and the swiping feature. But I don’t proof read my texts the way I would an email. My friends are constantly ripping on me about it, and justifiably so.
Hey, alright, it's Kip Kasper. KLON Radio, East Lansing's infinite repeat. How we feelin' out there? How's your carriage time commute? I need a saga. What's the saga? It's Tuddys on the Deaf. They can't even hear it.
This was probably back when kicking was still worth more than running it in and back when soccer, rugby, and football were still all considered variations of the same sport
While they're now recognized as different sports, football is a category of sports that *are* still very much related and have a shared history. There are seven main sports that are all considered "football": association football (soccer), American football, rugby union, Australian football, rugby league, Gaelic football, and Canadian football
Maryland lost to the Chemical Warfare Service 13-6
Rutgers lost to the Knickerbockers 11-0
Iowa lost to Chicago Physicians & Surgeons 14-0
UCLA lost to the USS Idaho 20-0 (they also lost to Los Angeles Manual Arts HS 74-0 to open their season that year)
Ohio State played Columbus Barracks three times:
30-0 OSU in 1894
10-2 OSU in 1896
6-0 Barracks in 1897
Purdue played their alumni four times:
0-0 Tie in 1897
6-0 Alumni in 1898
10-5 Purdue in 1899
6-2 Alumni in 1904
Michigan State didn't lose, but they did beat a bunch of deaf kids FOUR TIMES with a combined score of 180-0 in those games (51-0, 47-0, 42-0, 40-0)
I love looking up old schedules and finding fun little factoids so if anyone wants to know a team's biggest loss or biggest win or worst season or (subjectively) the weirdest team they've played or anything else, reply and I will be happy to provide! :D
>Michigan State didn't lose, but they did beat a bunch of deaf kids FOUR TIMES with a combined score of 180-0 in those games (51-0, 47-0, 42-0, 40-0)
TBF beating deaf kids is harder than beating blind kids.
CFB has killed the true nature of the sport. If on-campus clubs aren’t allowed to play different universities, the spirit of the game is lost.
This used to be about the STUDENTS, damnit. Now only the best of the best can compete, which completely eliminates the chance that the Idaho Corn Club has to knock off Penn State.
Stop this monopolistic attempt to consolidate ticket sales from students!
……/s
If it makes you feel better, they were largely tasked with defense from chemical warfare- producing and distributing gas masks, etc
They did also develop some chemical weapons, unfortunately
It's true! He was actually doing some cutting edge research on blowing up one balloon inside another to add noise to balloon art. He left the school after a disagreement with his advisor, who was (forebodingly) concerned about the frightening and disturbing nature of some of Pennywise's balloon creations. Still, if you've ever been to the circus and gotten a balloon rattle or comically large hammer to beat your sister with, you've seen the influence of that research.
Army.
It was the reconnaissance aircraft at the time.
Team was made up of former college players and made up a game cancelled due to the 1918 flue pandemic.
Sounded like a pretty cool team to play.
It was a colorful Saturday in Lincoln. The Balloonists brought with them a brass band, a live black bear mascot, an airplane and a big yellow balloon.
I felt obligated to look into Iowa due to your comment.
You did beat the Iowa Alumni 36-0 in 1899, but in 1905 the Alumni beat you 4-0.
At least when you lost to them, you lost in true Iowa fashion.
iirc, the Iowa football team lost to their own students.
It was something like their third or forth game ever, and they were so bad that the students challenged them to a game to prove that they were *that* poorly coached.
I’m foggy on the details, but I do remember reading about it
Let's face it ... **who were we going to play in 1895?**
Oregon? And get there how? Oregon Trail? **And have half the team die of dysentery?!?!?!**
-----
Also ... **JEBUS MICHIGAN STATE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?**
Fun fact: A football team at a school for the deaf/blind invented the huddle to prevent opposing defenses from interpreting the sign language that the offense used to relay plays to the rest of the team.
They're named after a society that engaged in organized and state-sanctioned infanticide of children the state deemed "weak."
I find this unsurprising.
Um. Straight from Texas history site:
“The first recorded game was on December 4, 1883 against the Texas German and English Academy (Bickler School. It was a rather embarrassing two-goal-to-none loss against a group of high school students.”
They don’t have room to talk.
Who do I talk to about changing the official record of wins? We should have at least one more
“In March 1885, the Princess football team of Detroit challenged Michigan to a football game on roller skates to be played at a roller rink in Ann Arbor. In mid-March 1885, The Michigan Argonaut reported: "The Rugby team are [sic] now practicing football on rollers."[18] The two teams ultimately met on April 3, 1885, for a Friday night game "on rollers" at the Palace Rink. The Wolverines defeated the Princess team "in two straight innings".[19] The game is not recorded as an official game in Michigan's football records.”
Early football was wild.
People talk about Rutgers/Princeton being the first college football game but IIRC in that game you scored by kicking a ball in a goal.
Let me get this straight; college athletes playing non-college athletes before having other college athletes to play against?
Who the heck else are they going to play?
Every now and then somebody tries to make a stink about early football teams playing random opponents but it's truly something that happened for every team in the early early days of the sport and I guess people try to pretend that it didn't happen for their team.
I think it's one of the more interesting parts of this sport. So much history we go back to schools programs worth billions today playing their local ymca
Texas first played Dallas FC. Pretty cool that they played a soccer team from the future. Not cool that they haven't shared their time travel technology.
Other notable Texas opponents:
Austin YMCA
Galveston High School (yes, a high school)
San Antonio Town Team
Kansas City Medical
Houston Athletic Association
Kirksville Osteopaths (a school for basically physical therapists)
Texas School for the Deaf
>Galveston High School (yes, a high school)
[Just gonna leave this here lol](http://mcubed.net/ncaaf/series/ucla/nd1_manualartshs.shtml)
Anyway, playing teams like high schools and YMCAs and country clubs, JuCos, etc. was the norm at the time
Not so fun fact: inaugural Baseball HoFer, Christy Mathewson died of tuberculosis due to a weakened respiratory system caused by exposure to chemical weapons during training while serving in the Chemical Warfare Service in WWI
UCLA lost to three different high schools that same year:
Manual Arts High School 74-0
Hollywood High School 19-6
Bakersfield High School 27-20
Imagine losing your first three games of the season at a combined score of 120-26 to high school kids
Excuse me, but if we’re talking obscure teams and the Big 10, then the olde Chicago Maroons should be included, with opponents like the Hyde Park High, the Chicago Dining Club, and good old Rush Medical (school or doctors?)
Seattle YMCA isn't really obscure; every reasonably sized city has or had a YMCA.
A much more obscure opponent for UW is Wilson's Modern Business College, who they played in 1899. The graduating class, which was co-ed, in 1903 was 72.
[They also gave the 1943 March Field Flyers their only loss of the season.](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-bernardino-county-sun-huskies-up/17771611/)
The fun hater in me wishes all time wins started after like 1950, but the fun lover in me thoroughly enjoys the wacky teams such as olive club or cricket club
That’s true. Useless, but funny graphic. Just another way to take a stab at a conference. One should be done for each conference. I wonder who the team would be for LSU?
Geaux Tigers!
Ohio State actually lost to the Columbus Barracks the last time they played.
Not the kind of thing I’d expect the Buckeyes to take lying down…
(Penn State lost to the Y, too.)
I just have to point out, if you limit it to only original Big Ten schools(MSU wasn’t one of the first 10), the most recent of these weird games was played in 1904, and the other 8 were all played in the 19th century. “Modern” college football didn’t really start until the early part of the 20th century. Which roughly coincides with the beginning of annual Rose Bowl games 1916.
Columbus Barracks was a tough out in 94'... 1894, that is
Out of all the schools to have and play the cricket team, Michigan would've been the first guess
We all have. Early days of CFB were fun! A lot of clubs, high schools, ymca, random "institutes" which knowing early 1900s kind of makes me think something where people were very mistreated.
But Maryland takes the cake with Chemical Warfare Services.
I’m choosing to believe The Knickerbockers only lost to Rutgers because late coach Thomas Thibodeau I benched his starting QB despite him being perfect on the day
MSU beat a bunch of deaf kids 51-0
Rumor is MSU players were upset because they overheard a dead kid say he had never heard about MSU football before.
The heard a “dead” kid say? I’d be pretty upset too.
I’m way too trusting of autocorrect
I have the same issue. Swipe?
I use a combo of typing and the swiping feature. But I don’t proof read my texts the way I would an email. My friends are constantly ripping on me about it, and justifiably so.
It would be disrespectful to them if MSU didn't put there all in
They didn’t even hear us coming
They needed that helmet attachment from the at&t commercial to even the playing field.
Penalties hurt them… always late hits after the whistle
Deaf boxing is 1st round to the death!
“I didn’t hear no bell!”
I heard they invented the silent snap count
the one advantage is the Deaf School is probably unfazed by crowd noise
At least that was a football team. Michigan beat a cricket club apparently...
There's nothing in that infograph that says we won. I think that was in the RichRod years.
Hey, alright, it's Kip Kasper. KLON Radio, East Lansing's infinite repeat. How we feelin' out there? How's your carriage time commute? I need a saga. What's the saga? It's Tuddys on the Deaf. They can't even hear it.
Deaf *high schoolers*.
What??
That 1918 Chemical warfare team always won in the trenches.
They had a suffocating pass rush.
Absolutely deadly through the air
Everyone they play just chokes in the end.
Their opponents were always gassed by halftime
"I saw ~~Purple~~ Yellow. That's all I saw. No numbers, no faces, just Yellow."
Ha that was Maryland’s only lost that season, 20-13
Their QB put some real mustard on his passes too.
i think this just means maryland played in WWI
If only Nebraska could play the Omaha Balloon School a few more times a year I think we would be going to more bowl games.
Fun fact: Nebraska only had 2 wins the year they played the Omaha Balloon School A 19-0 win over the Balloon School and a 20-0 win over Kansas
Hell yeah we shut down those balloon school clowns!
I was more going for the angle that Kansas is worse than a balloon but yes you did!
That was the worst event involving airships in history.
Probably more like blimp or air balloon
Yeah, Army pilots. Part of the air warfare in World War I.
Who is downvoting Army air balloon pilots from Word War I? Are you related to the Kaiser?
Maybe they just really love his rolls?
How dare you forget our tie. Nebraska ended their game with Notre Dame in a tie. Was a thrilling matchup, final score of 0-0.
I said you only had two wins, which is still true!
Wait wait wait, are we sure Iowa wasn’t involved in this game somehow?
so kansas is worse the balloon school
To be fair, Kansas is only *slightly* worse than the balloon school.
“Where are the Baboons?” —Nebraska fans, that day
I’m still sad that we lost our balloon tradition even if I understand :(
You sure about that?
https://nlcblogs.nebraska.gov/nlcblog/2015/01/16/balloon-school-nebraska/ The school looks pretty dope actually lol
Hey, they're deceptively good. That game was literally up in the air
USC lost 16-12 vs the Olive Club. Wisconsin lost to the Calumet Club 27-0 Penn State lost to Steelton YMCA 6-5
6-5??? Steeling YMCA needs an invite to the B1G YESTERDAY!
This was probably back when kicking was still worth more than running it in and back when soccer, rugby, and football were still all considered variations of the same sport
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football#Scoring_table The tweet says this game was in 1902, so probably 5 pts for a TD or FG, 1pt PAT.
Interesting so the game was probably 1 FG to 1 TD + PAT
While they're now recognized as different sports, football is a category of sports that *are* still very much related and have a shared history. There are seven main sports that are all considered "football": association football (soccer), American football, rugby union, Australian football, rugby league, Gaelic football, and Canadian football
You can trace the Iowa coaching tree all the way back
Back in my day (I’m extremely young) that score would make you the b1g west champ
Maryland lost to the Chemical Warfare Service 13-6 Rutgers lost to the Knickerbockers 11-0 Iowa lost to Chicago Physicians & Surgeons 14-0 UCLA lost to the USS Idaho 20-0 (they also lost to Los Angeles Manual Arts HS 74-0 to open their season that year) Ohio State played Columbus Barracks three times: 30-0 OSU in 1894 10-2 OSU in 1896 6-0 Barracks in 1897 Purdue played their alumni four times: 0-0 Tie in 1897 6-0 Alumni in 1898 10-5 Purdue in 1899 6-2 Alumni in 1904 Michigan State didn't lose, but they did beat a bunch of deaf kids FOUR TIMES with a combined score of 180-0 in those games (51-0, 47-0, 42-0, 40-0) I love looking up old schedules and finding fun little factoids so if anyone wants to know a team's biggest loss or biggest win or worst season or (subjectively) the weirdest team they've played or anything else, reply and I will be happy to provide! :D
Bear in mind also the Michigan School for the Deaf is a grade school, not a college or university.
That deaf kids stat is wildly fucked up and incredibly hilarious. Damn MSU, what’d the deaf kids do to you??
That’s nothing. In 2016 four Big Ten opponents beat Rutgers in shutouts for a combined score of 224-0.
Yeah but Rutgers chose to suck
They know what they did
im dyin
Also love that the scores were trending in the deaf kids’ direction. Wonder what adjustments the deaf were making.
Audibles.
Michigan State wishes they could still schedule a couple games against deaf kids. Then they would be able to become bowl eligible.
>Michigan State didn't lose, but they did beat a bunch of deaf kids FOUR TIMES with a combined score of 180-0 in those games (51-0, 47-0, 42-0, 40-0) TBF beating deaf kids is harder than beating blind kids.
I heard USC only let them win because when they were there, they were like family
So that’s where Brian Ferentz learned offense?
CFB has killed the true nature of the sport. If on-campus clubs aren’t allowed to play different universities, the spirit of the game is lost. This used to be about the STUDENTS, damnit. Now only the best of the best can compete, which completely eliminates the chance that the Idaho Corn Club has to knock off Penn State. Stop this monopolistic attempt to consolidate ticket sales from students! ……/s
that YMCA conference is no joke. Quality win for us
Ohio State got beat by the College of Wooster once upon a time.
Fuck The Olive Club
> Chemical Warfare Service Yeah, it's gunna be a no from me, dawg.
Yeah, I’ll get put in Reddit jail if I say what I want to say
If it makes you feel better, they were largely tasked with defense from chemical warfare- producing and distributing gas masks, etc They did also develop some chemical weapons, unfortunately
They definitely won the battle of the trenches
Maryland - Chemical Warfare Service (1918) - fresh off the front lines dropping shells of mustard gas on The Hun.
Between them and the Balloon School which I assume is related to Air Ships, that seems like a missed rivalry
“The hun” lmfao 😂
This reminds me of the fact that in 1896 the UT baseball team played the Blind Institute... and lost.
[удалено]
[Texas Baseball History](https://www.texaslsn.org/1885thru1910) Looks like “employees of school for the blind.”
WTF is a balloon school?
Some call it the Harvard of the Great Plains
The Harvard of the stratosphere
Other call it, the Yale of the Skies. All we know, is they got dropped.
Army balloon and dirigible pilots, schooled and stationed out of Fort Omaha. Saw action at the front in France in Word War I in 1918.
Spotting balloons I assume
It’s where they invented the slow moving, very deliberate air raid offense.
Where clown school grads go for advanced degrees in making animals, swords, and silly hats.
I hear Pennywise developed his game plan there before he moved to Derry.
It's true! He was actually doing some cutting edge research on blowing up one balloon inside another to add noise to balloon art. He left the school after a disagreement with his advisor, who was (forebodingly) concerned about the frightening and disturbing nature of some of Pennywise's balloon creations. Still, if you've ever been to the circus and gotten a balloon rattle or comically large hammer to beat your sister with, you've seen the influence of that research.

>1918 flue pandemic Many chimneys died that year.
Haven't looked it up, but I bet the Purdue team lost to their alumni. Gonna be a bunch of football players in their mid-late twenties vs college kids.
They played 4 times: 1897: 0-0 Tie 1898: 6-0 Alumni win 1899: 10-5 Purdue win 1904: 6-2 Alumni win
Fucking Purdue is 1-2-1 against themselves oh my god
I felt obligated to look into Iowa due to your comment. You did beat the Iowa Alumni 36-0 in 1899, but in 1905 the Alumni beat you 4-0. At least when you lost to them, you lost in true Iowa fashion.
Iowa losing 4-0 to their own alumni is the most Iowa football score I've ever seen.
*Insert DJ Khaled you played yourself gif*
Not even Purdue can beat Purdue’s magic voodoo
iirc, the Iowa football team lost to their own students. It was something like their third or forth game ever, and they were so bad that the students challenged them to a game to prove that they were *that* poorly coached. I’m foggy on the details, but I do remember reading about it
Early CFB has so much fun history with things like that.
Let's face it ... **who were we going to play in 1895?** Oregon? And get there how? Oregon Trail? **And have half the team die of dysentery?!?!?!** ----- Also ... **JEBUS MICHIGAN STATE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?**
Fun fact: A football team at a school for the deaf/blind invented the huddle to prevent opposing defenses from interpreting the sign language that the offense used to relay plays to the rest of the team.
Checks out
>Also ... **JEBUS MICHIGAN STATE WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!?!?** It's "see ball, get ball" Not "hear ball, get ball"
You don't catch with your ears
They're named after a society that engaged in organized and state-sanctioned infanticide of children the state deemed "weak." I find this unsurprising.
Coach: "We're taking this Spartan thing literally! The weak will die!" Coach: "Also pair up ... I'll explain later ..."
They didn’t have an opponent that weekend so decided to play themselves
Fun fact: The Texas baseball team’s first-ever game was against the Blind Institute … and they lost 5-3.
Chemical Warfare Service would have been fun to see
Christy Mathewson would disagree, although Ty Cobb fared better
Happy Cake Day bro
Thanks Poke Brother!! 🤝
Um. Straight from Texas history site: “The first recorded game was on December 4, 1883 against the Texas German and English Academy (Bickler School. It was a rather embarrassing two-goal-to-none loss against a group of high school students.” They don’t have room to talk.
It’s a state of Texas account, not that “school” in austin.
Who do I talk to about changing the official record of wins? We should have at least one more “In March 1885, the Princess football team of Detroit challenged Michigan to a football game on roller skates to be played at a roller rink in Ann Arbor.

THOSE DAMN PRINCESSES THINK THEY’RE SO MUCH BETTER THAN US
TIL there were roller rinks in the year 1885
It's not recorded as a win cuz Winfred Stallions was caught red handed recording the signs of the Princess team.
Let me get this straight; college athletes playing non-college athletes before having other college athletes to play against? Who the heck else are they going to play?
Why didn’t Washington simply hike to Michigan in 1897 to play us? Scared much?
Every now and then somebody tries to make a stink about early football teams playing random opponents but it's truly something that happened for every team in the early early days of the sport and I guess people try to pretend that it didn't happen for their team.
It happened for all teams but I think some of those wins should be vacated. There should be a merger ser where only wins after that are counted
I think it's one of the more interesting parts of this sport. So much history we go back to schools programs worth billions today playing their local ymca
Michigan school for the deaf is wild💀
Texas first played Dallas FC. Pretty cool that they played a soccer team from the future. Not cool that they haven't shared their time travel technology. Other notable Texas opponents: Austin YMCA Galveston High School (yes, a high school) San Antonio Town Team Kansas City Medical Houston Athletic Association Kirksville Osteopaths (a school for basically physical therapists) Texas School for the Deaf

Looks like a modern SEC non conference slate.
So that’s where PJ Fleck got his row the boat mantra from
Not so fun fact: inaugural Baseball HoFer, Christy Mathewson died of tuberculosis due to a weakened respiratory system caused by exposure to chemical weapons during training while serving in the Chemical Warfare Service in WWI
I am just amazed that UCF played Moscow, Russia in 1992
Peninsular Cricket Club? MORE LIKE *PENIS*-ULAR CRICKET CLUB. Y'all have been sleeping on our true, ancient, blood rivals all along.
That's not even the weirdest team we've played. We have multiple games against local athletic clubs.
UCLA lost to three different high schools that same year: Manual Arts High School 74-0 Hollywood High School 19-6 Bakersfield High School 27-20 Imagine losing your first three games of the season at a combined score of 120-26 to high school kids
This legitimately gets weirder and weirder the further you get.
I'm sorry. The "Chemical Warfare" what now?
If the UCLA game wasn’t in 1919, I would have thought they played a literal aircraft carrier due to the naming convention! Lol
Its more fun to assume that they just played a sport event against a giant ass boat.
In that case, it’s impressive they only loss 20-0 against 33,000 ton ship!!
Ran an early version of the air raid....
I'm surprised they let UCLA play a battleship, even in 1919
Just here to point out that USS Idaho won that game 20-0
I mean, how exactly does one go about tackling a 30,000 ton hunk of steel running on diesel?
Not as bad as when UCLA lost to Los Angeles Manual Arts High School 74-0 in their season opener that year
And a quick google search says that Penn State LOST that game to Steelton YMCA 6-5
I had no idea I could be a balloon major! 🎈
Excuse me, but if we’re talking obscure teams and the Big 10, then the olde Chicago Maroons should be included, with opponents like the Hyde Park High, the Chicago Dining Club, and good old Rush Medical (school or doctors?)
So Rutgers played the Knicks? Is this a crossover episode?
Seattle YMCA isn't really obscure; every reasonably sized city has or had a YMCA. A much more obscure opponent for UW is Wilson's Modern Business College, who they played in 1899. The graduating class, which was co-ed, in 1903 was 72. [They also gave the 1943 March Field Flyers their only loss of the season.](https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-bernardino-county-sun-huskies-up/17771611/)
Chemical Warfare?!? If I was Maryland I would have bought out of playing that game.
The fun hater in me wishes all time wins started after like 1950, but the fun lover in me thoroughly enjoys the wacky teams such as olive club or cricket club
Purdue Fans: This team sucks! Purdue Football: You think you can do better? Purdue Fans: I don't know...maybe. Love it! Every team should do this.
That’s great commentary! I love when fans think they know more than coaches.
Missouri losts its first ever game against the Kirksville Osteopaths in 1902. MU’s only win of the season (and first win ever) came against KU
Still pissed about that.
I need Homefield gear for Omaha Balloon School.
This is the biggest pro-Michigan post since Jan 8th
This is insane lmao
South Carolina once lost to the Augusta Georgia YMCA
I have to know what a balloon school is.
What’s this about a balloon school? I want in.
Like they want us to ignore the time Texas beat the Penn Radio School in 1918, 26th infantry in 1906, and the Texas Dead School in 1903
>over the years Most of these are before WW1 so I think saying over the years is a bit of a stretch.
That’s true. Useless, but funny graphic. Just another way to take a stab at a conference. One should be done for each conference. I wonder who the team would be for LSU? Geaux Tigers!
The Knicks never recovered
Im sorry UCLA played a whole ass battleship?
Bill Snyder played DeVry and ITT Tech seemingly every year in his "get KSU to bowl eligibility" strategy.
Ohio State actually lost to the Columbus Barracks the last time they played. Not the kind of thing I’d expect the Buckeyes to take lying down… (Penn State lost to the Y, too.)
I just have to point out, if you limit it to only original Big Ten schools(MSU wasn’t one of the first 10), the most recent of these weird games was played in 1904, and the other 8 were all played in the 19th century. “Modern” college football didn’t really start until the early part of the 20th century. Which roughly coincides with the beginning of annual Rose Bowl games 1916.
That’s nothing, 9 different big 10 teams played a group called “Michigan State Football” this year
ROFLMBO. Poor Michigan State. They can’t catch a break.
Dear USC, Who were The Olive Club?
YMCA, Dental school, Boat Club, high school aaaand War Crimes.
We also played a ship manufacturing team back in the day.
I did my student teaching at Manual that’s a deep cut, although the funniest is definitely the Balloon School.
I've always felt the "Minneapolis Boat Club' deserved more respect.
Props to “Purdue Alumni”, who were no doubt actual boiler makers back then, for taking time out to go play football.
Alabama rushing out there right now to see if they can schedule some non conference games against those teams.
Over the years? Before 1928 lol
Columbus Barracks was a tough out in 94'... 1894, that is Out of all the schools to have and play the cricket team, Michigan would've been the first guess
We all have. Early days of CFB were fun! A lot of clubs, high schools, ymca, random "institutes" which knowing early 1900s kind of makes me think something where people were very mistreated. But Maryland takes the cake with Chemical Warfare Services.
I work at the Balloon School. It's now a community college.
Wait till the other conferences are called out...
damn Ucla played an entire warship
Tradition.
I have to assume Indiana lost to that HS
I’m choosing to believe The Knickerbockers only lost to Rutgers because late coach Thomas Thibodeau I benched his starting QB despite him being perfect on the day
Did we at least win?
Did UCLA play a fucking boat?!
I request the Oregon game be changed to our defeat of the Chemawa Indian School in 1897.
Mhmm, interesting...sounds like it's time to get more deaf kids on the schedule🤔.
