Topic: When Xavier Dropped Football

[Big City]

Interesting. Includes a few video clips

CINCINNATI - Xavier football players were in a festive mood when they gathered with fans at the team banquet after the 1973 season.

In the fashion of the times, players wore big bow ties and collars as wide as a football field to go with long hair and bushy-bushy sideburns. Just like the guest speaker, National League MVP Pete Rose.

it kind of sends chills to think that easily could have been us.  we had the basketball teams of the late sixties to do just that.  maybe the only differences were that (1) we were not a religious school and (2) we were not in a larger demographic area with many nearby, significant schools.
