We won. My meme stands. Full stop.
(The 1937 season has fascinated me for years, so don't take this from me.)

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
We had a 0-0 tie (Carson-Newman) and then lost 0-7 to Mississippi State Teachers College, which became Southern Miss. The loss was in the Doll and Toy Charity Bowl.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
Back in the old Field House, there was a banner hanging in the Club room. The banner listed all the game scores from the 1937 season. Undefeated and unscored on in the regular season. Coach was Kidd Brewer hisself. We lost in the bowl game. I recall the score as 7-3, but the earlier poster might be right. So in the late 1990s or early 2000s, my sons saw that banner and were fascinated.
Does anyone else recall that 18-20 years ago we recognized a player from that legendary team on the field at halftime?? Too cool!

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
On the ESPN+ stream David Jackson mentioned that Kidd Brewer had coached high school football in Gulfport before coming to App State and that was likely the connection to get us to a bowl game there.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
I seem to remember a similar banner hanging in the Boone Wendy's last time I was there. Would love to get that same banner celebrating the 1937 team to go with my three banners showing all the scores for the three national championship teams.AppAlum1 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 29, 2023 2:25 pmBack in the old Field House, there was a banner hanging in the Club room.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
They used to list all the old pre NAIA and NAIA conference championships in our FCS days. Those were eventually removed and our national championship flags don't fly now, and I get it but that is a history to be proud of. We have generally been winners in football, be that ASTC or ASU. It would be nice to honor that history a bit more, though I get it.
Interestingly, if you look at the appstatesports.com site they have head to head records and for Southern Miss it starts in 2014. GaSo starts at 1987. I assume only the NCAA era is listed on the website.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
I am not a fan of white-collar crime but his quote when asked what his plans were after his prison sentence was funny. I'll have to look it up but I am pretty sure I have posted it on here before.
Also I am pretty sure he was very much involved in developing Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh. His home was right above it from what I have read.
Did the Kidd Brewer Twitter feed discuss finally getting back at Southern Miss. I am not on Twitter buy the KB Twitter was pretty funny.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
I thought the bid rigging involved land that became roads. I assume he was selling at an inflated price but maybe this was around the Mall area. He did own that land.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 3:11 pmThat was the land that he bid rigged.McLeansvilleAppFan wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 2:47 pmI am not a fan of white-collar crime but his quote when asked what his plans were after his prison sentence was funny.

I did find the quote.
https://indyweek.com/news/archives-news ... l-raleigh/
That man would be Kidd Brewer, and I only wish I’d known him when. He was a politicianan aide to two U.S. senatorswho made his fortune buying the land where future roads would go. Nothing novel there, of course. But when, in 1963, he was sentenced to 18 months in state prison for bid-rigging, Brewer responded with a gala “going-in party” at his fabulous house high above Crabtree Creek, to which everyone who was anyone in the Cap City was invited. And when he got out four months later (what’s a little bid-rigging among friends?) and was asked about his future plans, he replied, “I’m going to peddle influence.”

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
I think it was a bit of thumbing his nose at a process that everyone was doing back then, along with a comment about he and everyone in power knows that was how it worked back then, and he had connections to make it work after release. He likely was doing his time in a low level prison and had easy duties. He clearly was connected. I am not sure if I would call it a vacation but it was the price of doing business to him it seems.NewApp wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 3:53 pmSounds like sarcasm to me.

Re: To 1937 App State Football Team
Still locked up. We don't even know if the quote was true.
As far as bowl games went for App back in the day..they were in one called The Burley Bowl. It may have been in Johnson City.
College Football Data Warehouse used to list all that stuff all the way back to when organized college football began. Scores for all games, coaches records, etc , locations,.That site is now defunct.
