History has forgotten me, but I remember.
The records of college football stretch back for one hundred and fifty years. They say it all began then, in 1869, a game between Princeton and Rutgers in New Brunswick, New Jersey; a 6-4 Rutgers triumph in a rudimentary game that bore little resemblance to the one you know today.
Do you think that’s when it truly began? Are you willing to accept simply what you’re told? There’s not a single person alive today who was alive then; we can only rely on the written record. That record is a lie.
