Progress will be achieved when this is no longer the program's greatest post-1970 moment.
Agreed! But, I stil love to watch this video. Thanks for posting it!
I wish we had video (film) of earlier significant victories -- like the 35-6 pounding of UK in the early 1970s, the trouncing of SIU in Peden in 1960, in what was in essence a championship game, and the victory over Miami in the early 1960s with a score of something like 12-6 in which no TDs were scored. Was at all of those game. There's also the victory in the 1930s, that I wasn't at, where Jim Snyder caught a pass and ran something like 80 yards for the one and only TD against Illinois. It was a Bobcat victory by a 6-0 score. A few years earlier Ohio had also beaten the Illini by an identical 6-0 score. As kid I heard so much about those Illinois victories by Peden's crew that in my mind's eye I have visions of what it was like, but I've never seen any footage. When I was a kid they would have pennants on game game for the flag poles at the back end of the east and west stands for all the MAC schools and for Illinois. I was told this was because Peden was an Illinois graduate, and also to commemorate those earlier victories over the Illini. Now with our more recent Frank Era victory over Illinois maybe that would be a good tradition to bring back.
