Having a tough time creating 1971 Stanford.




Interestingly, Washington's QB in 1972 was named Sonny Sixkiller.

Rando fact:

Colorado's 1990 National Championship team and its 1971 team that finished 3rd behind UNL and OU had the same average score for the season:  31-18.

Sonny is a Cherokee, born in Tahlequah, OK, capital of the Cherokee Nation.
"Killer" in Cherokee means something other than what it does in English--something to do with rank or status, I think--and it appears in some Cherokee family names.  Wilma Mankiller was the principal chief of the tribe for a number of years, and there is a Lake Tenkiller--created by damming the Illinois River--named for a prominent Cherokee family who owned the land that was bought for the project.

Wow, did not know that.  Thanks.

Reminds me of many Navajo surnames - Yellowhair, Manycows, etc.  I taught on the Navajo Rez for 8 years...it would take a lot longer to learn about just the recent history there.

Ahh, sorry, I saw it yesterday.  Looks great!!!!!!  Sorry, i was at work and didn't immediately letting u know.


The Whoa Nellie within the mic is crazy.  I'd like that mic with the Whoa Nellie words next to it, and maybe half a football above it?  With "college football game" under it maybe.  That'd be a complete logo.



The rules page looks awesome.  I think it needs something to break it up besides headings.  Could every other section be within a box?  Just a thin line or something.   


Your friend is great for doing this, thanks for sharing it.

Do you think there would be any interest in the WWII teams - Iowa Pre-Flight or Great Lakes Navy Training, etc.?  I think it'd be interesting, BUT they might be too good.


It would just be cool to have a team like that, though.  No?

Michigan fans would be all over that to boost their win total!  Local high schools as well.

I offer teams back to 71 and have made teams as far back as 69, and I still get requests for teams even earlier than that.

I'd only make them upon request, which I think you make pretty clear on your site.

to go the other way, when I make my order for a bunch of other teams, I might grab a Paul Wulff Wazzu squad or that pathetic Weis ND team just to see how bad those teams are.
