@HistColFootball @ClintKPoppe The OK State coach, Waldorf, always bristled at the loss to Jefferson, and in the school’s 1933 yearbook recounting that season, the Jefferson team was called a “semi-pro outfit.”

@HistColFootball @ClintKPoppe But, Jefferson’s coach, Nick Dobbs, exported the Jefferson Rangers team to another law school in downtown Dallas, Somerville Law, and rebranded them as the Dixie Univ. Rebels in 1933. They played two more years, then the entire team folded up after the 1934 season.

@prewarcards As usual, Brown and Dartmouth are missing.

And with the Penn card in today's mail, that's finally a wrap on this set of 1907 Earl Christy college football postcards. I don't do too many postcard sets, but I've always loved the look of this one. Michigan is the prized one in the group. 8/8 on this set.

@Winsipedia Hi, I still hopeful that you can change 1 single letter on the North Texas page regarding its game vs what should be Terrill Academy. You’ve spelled it Terrell, which is a suburb of Dallas & plays football, but it’s not Terrill Academy. Terrill is the correct name.

[BudBrooksFootballHistory @BB_FootballHist]

@Winsipedia Hello, I noticed that you still have it listed as “Terrell” when it should be “Terrill.” You indicate them as having been “FCS,” when it was actually a prep/high school. Maybe you don’t have that category, it definitely was not a college then. The game was played on 11/21/1914.

[BudBrooksFootballHistory @BB_FootballHist]

@Winsipedia For the University of North Texas in your database, I sent an email to you on Nov. 30 about the opponent you have listed as “Terrell Academy” and the 0-1-0 record you show for UNT vs. them. It’s actually Terrill Prep School. “Terrill” is the correct spelling.

@txfblife Boston University is usually called BU, partly to distinguish it from Boston College (BC), but no one calls Baylor “BU.”

The story regarding the TCU Freshman team in 1923 has a couple of mistakes. First, the prep team they played was Terrill School, an elite all-boys private school in Dallas (not Terrell, TX). The final score was 60-3. Terrill is now St. Mark’s School of Texas. @CTooleSaysStuff
