Pigskin Dispatch Podcast... The Yale-Georgia Series of the 1920s and 1930s
Pigskin Dispatch podcaster Darin Hayes and I discuss the Yale-Georgia series played between 1923 and 1934, which proved emblematic of the shift in football power from the East to flyover country.
Watch and listen to the discussion on YouTube, hear the podcast, or feel free to read the original Tidbit below.
During the discussion, Darin asked whether the opposing mascot bulldogs, Yale’s Handsome Dan and Georgia’s Uga, met on the field during the series. They did not. Handsome Dan was around by 1890, while Uga 1 did not arrive until 1956, too late for the series.
My new book, The History of the Football, covers everything you need to know about how the football evolved, and is available now on Amazon.
