*Pop Watson lol. Would be pretty surprised if Pop Warner were somehow playing for you guys.

"We reanimated Pop Warner" would only be a slightly more surprising outcome than this result.

Eligibility is apparently a myth anyway

He did only play at Cornell for 3 years, however he also played in one professional game for the Syracuse Athletic Club in 1902, earning $23.

Interestingly, the game he played was the first ever indoor professional football game, at Madison Square Garden. They used a 70 yard long field

It would explain how much more competent UMass looked though

A Massachusetts area judge issued an injunction about you specifically talking about Pop Warner, you're in for it now

The MAC is a pathway to many abilities...some consider to be unnatural.

Can I learn these abilities?

Not from a P4 team.

I had to look up the roster. Couldn’t believe there could be a guy named Pop Warner

If they play in Georgia this year, will the announcers call him Coke Watson?

u/lat3ralus65 Ohio State Buckeyes • UMass Minutemen Sep 04 '26

He’d be better than some of the quarterbacks we’ve put out there in recent years

u/WitchNight Michigan Wolverines Sep 04 '26

Yeah he’s a supposed to be busy coaching third base for the St. Louis Cardinals

There needs to be a Doc Watson in football. (Baseball did.)
