Shownotes
The show is a big one filled with all aspects of football from many eras! November 3 is an unparalleled date for football extremes. It honors the birth of legends like Bronko Nagurski, the only player ever named to two positions on the same All-America team, and Jerry Rice, the first NFL player to reach 1,000 career receptions. From the nearly 11-hour, seven-overtime epic between Arkansas and Ole Miss to the jaw-dropping 690-yard passing performance by TCU's Matt Vogler, this day showcases the sport's capacity for unforgettable drama and milestone achievements, all starting with a small bit of cotton sewn into a jersey in 1877.
