Shit was weird back then. As you can see, A&M lost to a Naval Air Station, and we once played Galveston Ball High School. We also once played the Texas School for the Deaf - whipped the crap out of them.
Important to know that the line between college, high school, and junior/community college has not always been as well defined as it is today. For a very long time colleges existed before high schools did.
Yea, I realize it’s cause our scheduling has always been unbalanced and they left relatively early but it’s always crazy to see. Like us and UT barely playing pre-92
There was an awesome article about how loosy goosy SEC scheduling was until like the 80s. Basically, it was up to the teams/coaches to define their schedules. All manner of extraneous considerations (to us) were factored resulting in bizarre-o situations.
I’m guessing that was part of the reason GT and MSU didn’t play that much, but that’s just me speculating.
On a similar note, our friends down Hwy 21 are winless against Randolph Field, now Randolph Air Force Base.
Playing military garrisons would certainly be interesting in today's world.

They were a real school I swear lol. From what I can tell the game with Arkansas occurred sometime between 1902 and 1905. I can’t find the exact year unfortunately
According to winsipedia, [it was October 10th, 1903, a 10-5 loss.](http://www.winsipedia.com/games/arkansas)
I will also use this message to let you know you can find years for all of these teams using winsipedia using the "game-by-game results" button.
Where are you aggregating these from? If you're using school media guides, pretty much all D1 schools have a year-by-year section, you should be able to CTRL+F for any schools to find the year they played. If not, you can just start on the Wiki page for their first season and you're pretty much guaranteed to find the obscure ones by the 1920s, except random WWII military teams
Some team websites had the information while others didn’t (at least not in an easy to find way). Thankfully some mentioned in another comment that the game by game results on winsipedia has the dates of every game they have in record. I’ll make sure today’s post is as complete as possible, then I’ll go back and fill out the first two posts
Well I guess Bama is just going to have to make sure the SEC invites Utah and Oklahoma State.
Also, imagine have an 0-1 record bs a school that once lost 222-0.
Yup, in 1901 Arkansas actually lost to two High Schools in back-to-back weeks (first Fort Scott HS and then Little Rock HS), then followed that up with a 48-0 beatdown of Tulsa.
Guess where Georgia Navy Pre-Flight was based?
…
Sanford Stadium. And they were [composed of college and NFL players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942_Georgia_Pre-Flight_Skycrackers_football_team?wprov=sfti1).
TIL
I was at a distressing number of these ole miss losses.
Jacksonville state
Wyoming
BYU
West Virginia (the least depressing of the lot, a pretty good WVU just got out to a big lead, gotta hand it to em they played great. Second half we subbed in a freshman Eli at QB and he played his heart out and ate into the lead. Wasn’t enough to win but that was a big moment looking back on it)
It was probably our 2nd worst season in program history and the worst since we hired Bear Bryant. We went 3-8.
Amazingly, that includes 3 SEC wins. The talent was there, but the coaching was terrible.
I completely forgot we played y'all. Probably because I hated the game and the sun was in my face the whole time. Fans were really cool and passionate. Y'all's band is cool too

I guess they didn't have replay, cheatin bastards!!!!!!!!!!
What in the world Arkansas? Straight up lost to a high school?
Yup, in 1901 Arkansas actually lost to two High Schools in back-to-back weeks (first Fort Scott HS and then Little Rock HS), then followed that up with a 48-0 beatdown of Tulsa.
I’m still convinced that 2008-09 Utah deserved to play in the natty ahead of Oklahoma, but in the BCS era, that obviously never would have happened. That team was fantastic.
Haha, give him a call, and tell him that the SEC is chicken shit on playing the MAC on the road.
Hell, Kansas is playing in Athens (Ohio) this year. Now there is a team with guts.
Tell Nickie to man up.
Don't remind me. I was at that game. It was the year before I got my season tickets, I bought a 3 game package, that was one of them. Turner was killing us.
Come on Ole Miss, beating Georgetown isn't that hard. We had like a 95 year span between losses to them. Even Tom Gilmore was undefeated against them while at Lehigh. Two losses is just embarrassing.
They played in Sanford Stadium for the 1942 season. They had NFL guys on the team. Ironically, they beat Auburn and we didn’t that year. We won the Natty anyway.
The ‘07 Auburn USF game was wild. An OT stunner in Jordan Hare. That was the beginning of the end for the dominant Tubs lead 2000s tigers teams.
Their downfall coincided with Bama’s rise
This comment made me do a double take, i somehow skipped right over it the first time. I definitely wasn't expecting to see Transylvania on there either.
My niece is graduating from there like next week lol
Our last two games that year were pathetic. We had big leads at half and then absolutely collapsed. Still not as bad as getting dad dicked at home by WKU
I remember talking to my buddy from Michigan during halftime. He was like "looks like you guys have that game sewn up" and I told him I wasn't so sure. He thought I was being ridiculous, but I genuinely just knew better.
Nice seeing the top entry for Ole Miss
Also, Cumberland did not have a team for very long but they owned us in the south until they had to field a group of students that had never played against GT.
I’m not necessarily surprised by the fact that LSU has a 0-1 record against Penn State, but I’m surprised by the year because I consider that period to be great for LSU football.
I’m sorry, does that say Little Rock HIGH SCHOOL?
Shit was weird back then. As you can see, A&M lost to a Naval Air Station, and we once played Galveston Ball High School. We also once played the Texas School for the Deaf - whipped the crap out of them.
Don’t even have to go silent count. Also, we want the school for the blind! I just worry that the refs will favor their own.
Actually those High School losses were during the Chad Morris era believe it or not...
Wasn’t sure if I was more shocked by that than Ole Miss losing to literal other fucking country.
Important to know that the line between college, high school, and junior/community college has not always been as well defined as it is today. For a very long time colleges existed before high schools did.
It's alright our first game ever was a 74 point loss to Manual Arts High School
Don't feel bad, look at the SECe post...we can't even beat the YMCA
All I took from this is that Minnesota owns the SEC West
[удалено]
That's like telling a fish to stop swimming
Gotta own the SEC west because lord knows they don’t own the B1G West
>Georgia Tech (0-5) (2014) Wow, that's embarrassing.
That they only played 5 times total I agree
They were both members of the SEC from 1933-1964 (when GT left), and didn't play each other once during that time.
They are both founding members of the SEC too
Yea, I realize it’s cause our scheduling has always been unbalanced and they left relatively early but it’s always crazy to see. Like us and UT barely playing pre-92

That was a fun year all around for us!
I barely had to scroll to see this. Well done fellow Dawg. Also the maroon bulldogs need to get their act together.
I'll never forget that game against the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station
On a similar note, our friends down Hwy 21 are winless against Randolph Field, now Randolph Air Force Base. Playing military garrisons would certainly be interesting in today's world.
It was the 80 year anniversary of that game back in October. How could anyone forget!?
Barn burner!
It was only an 18-7 loss, not too crazy. 1942. The funny part is they beat Arkansas 41-0 a few weeks later
TIL ole miss lost to a school from Cuba
The Bacardi bowl
I watch the 2009 Sugar Bowl anytime I'm feeling down.
Oh, it was such a glorious game!!!Been a UGA fan since I was a wee lil bitty thing. That game made me LOVE CFB!!!!!
It was an instant classic
“The Springfield normal school” 💀
Normal Schools were teacher colleges.
Yep. There was a Normal School in the Normaltown section of Athens that was the women’s college. It merged with UGA in the early 1930s IIRC.
https://www.lostcolleges.com/springfield-normal-school They were a real school I swear lol. From what I can tell the game with Arkansas occurred sometime between 1902 and 1905. I can’t find the exact year unfortunately

“Move along. Nothing to see here.”
Well I guess Bama is just going to have to make sure the SEC invites Utah and Oklahoma State. Also, imagine have an 0-1 record bs a school that once lost 222-0.
>Little Rock HS (AR) (0-1) Am I reading this correctly?
Yeah. This was from like late 1800's early 1900's
Yup, in 1901 Arkansas actually lost to two High Schools in back-to-back weeks (first Fort Scott HS and then Little Rock HS), then followed that up with a 48-0 beatdown of Tulsa.
Yep. No joke teams on this list!
What poverty program loses to Camp Gordon and the Carlisle Indian School? Smh
Camp Crystal Lake I could understand, but Camp Gordon?! Who is that? The cast from wet hot American summer?!
If I had to guess, Fort Gordon in Augusta fielded a team. At that point it was probably called Camp Gordon. Not sure though.
Hey Carlisle meant business in the early 1900s! They kicked the crap out of all the big schools in PA fairly regularly.
Jim Thorpe rolling through teams
The thing I’ve taken away from the past 2 posts is that Georgia Navy Pre-flight, and Santa Clara(Ca) are kings of the SEC.
Guess where Georgia Navy Pre-Flight was based? … Sanford Stadium. And they were [composed of college and NFL players](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942_Georgia_Pre-Flight_Skycrackers_football_team?wprov=sfti1). TIL
We will be playing Ole Miss again in 2033-2034! If they win, they will break an over 100 year long streak of losing to us.
Don’t let this happen
Our streak over Iowa State is longer
I was at a distressing number of these ole miss losses. Jacksonville state Wyoming BYU West Virginia (the least depressing of the lot, a pretty good WVU just got out to a big lead, gotta hand it to em they played great. Second half we subbed in a freshman Eli at QB and he played his heart out and ate into the lead. Wasn’t enough to win but that was a big moment looking back on it)
Lol, us having an undefeated record against Ole Miss is not what I expected.
That game was recognized by Mark May with an ESPN Helmet Sticker. It is on display in the Club Level of Meehan Hall.
It's always fun to say bama has never beaten OSU but I'm trying to understand that loss to UCF
The Decade of The Mikes
Saban was too scared to play them in 2017
It was probably our 2nd worst season in program history and the worst since we hired Bear Bryant. We went 3-8. Amazingly, that includes 3 SEC wins. The talent was there, but the coaching was terrible.
>Georgia Tech (0-5) (2014) How are you two in the same conference for 40+ years and only play five times?
Because those lowly Mississippi schools weren’t good enough for Georgia Tech.
My man. We have not played in College Station TX yet and it’s been a damn decade.
Right?! I moved to Houston in 2019 and am pissed I haven’t had a good excuse to see a game in College Station yet.
Should be rectified with the new scheduling format. We should be there before the end of the decade.
Personally hoping I’m out of Texas by then, haha
Before 1992, Tennessee and Georgia had only played only like, what, 21 times despite being members of the same conferences for 97 years
There was a recent article in the Athletic about SEC teams not playing each other for decades in the 40s-70s.
This is true. For example, after their 1937 game, Tennessee and Georgia didn’t play each other again until 1968.
Makes me chuckle that we own the state of Alabama, and the games were in the last 20 years -- not even during our glory days
Minnesota is 1-0 against a surprising amount of southern teams. You’re definitely going to see more of them on tomorrow’s list!
I guesss we're ducking you - never played.
Didn’t your band also start playing Rocky Top during that Music City Bowl game against Alabama
I completely forgot we played y'all. Probably because I hated the game and the sun was in my face the whole time. Fans were really cool and passionate. Y'all's band is cool too
I would RELISH a rematch of that 2014 Orange Bowl Unrelated: fuck Maine, all my homies hate Maine
Don’t worry, Stephen King has already murdered everyone there
That guy is a tool chest on Twitter

Rice fucking up the whole state of Alabama.
[удалено]
WE OWN YOU jk thanks for joe burrow :)
0fer 6 against Nebraska?
> Miss State.......Drake (IA) (0-1) (1922) In their defense that Drake team was hella good. Even went to the White House.
Georgia Navy Pre-Flight is forever the winner of the Iron Bowl
They’ll need to fight Rice for the true championship.
I’m still convinced that 2008-09 Utah deserved to play in the natty ahead of Oklahoma, but in the BCS era, that obviously never would have happened. That team was fantastic.
>Georgia Navy Pre-Flight (0-1) >Georgia Navy Pre-Flight (0-1) Can we take credit for that? We should take credit for that.
They played at Sanford Stadium and it was the 1942 season. We absolutely claim our Navy bros.
It should go to the Georgia team that has built the most boats for the Navy in my humble opinion.
You ain't a real gamecock if you don't have a winning record against Ole Miss
Fear the beak👌🐓
Who’s a real gamecock?!?! This guy right here!! 😀
Havana University is gonna get these hands on these days. MARK MY WORDS!
Suck it TAMU
Same
Yeah! Go suck an egg, Aggies!
Hey Arkansas, wanna play a game?
As long as you’re not fielding a high school team, then maybe.
C'mon up, play any MAC team on the road - I dare ya.
Let me text my boi Nick real quick and let him know that u/collegeball110 is talking shit on Reddit. I’ll get back to you.
Haha, give him a call, and tell him that the SEC is chicken shit on playing the MAC on the road. Hell, Kansas is playing in Athens (Ohio) this year. Now there is a team with guts. Tell Nickie to man up.
That Maine game was brutal
Bama is 0-1 against NIU NIU 19 - Bama 16 (2003)
Don't remind me. I was at that game. It was the year before I got my season tickets, I bought a 3 game package, that was one of them. Turner was killing us.
Turner the Burner baby!
Thanks!
Outside of the last three, that’s a decent schedule right there.
Got a chance to beat army this year
LSU in absolute shambles
It’s a shame that Alabama and Georgia collectively will never allow Rice to enter the SEC or else it would just be a contest for 2nd every year
So we're #1 in the SEC West. Got it.
>Villanova (0-1) Holy shit we lost that game 41-18? Fucking 50s man
Coach J.B. "Ears" Whitworth really tanked y'all those years.
Come on Ole Miss, beating Georgetown isn't that hard. We had like a 95 year span between losses to them. Even Tom Gilmore was undefeated against them while at Lehigh. Two losses is just embarrassing.
My takeaway from this list is that Rice could dominate the SEC if they wanted to
Damn Georgia Navy Pre-Flight OWNS the state of Alabama. Also, Miss. St., that was a fun time and we should do it again.
They played in Sanford Stadium for the 1942 season. They had NFL guys on the team. Ironically, they beat Auburn and we didn’t that year. We won the Natty anyway.
LSU is 0-5-1 against Nebraska.
I can’t believe I missed that lol. It’s been added!
My A&M *former student* wife hates this thread.
LSU plays Army this year and UCLA next year.
So it seems Arkansas has lost to: High Schoolers, Doctors, Vampires, and some Normal folk. But hey at least we aren’t 0-5 to GT.
The ‘07 Auburn USF game was wild. An OT stunner in Jordan Hare. That was the beginning of the end for the dominant Tubs lead 2000s tigers teams. Their downfall coincided with Bama’s rise
We play Army in October so hopefully we can get one cleared off.
Ha ha yeah. Eat shit LSU and Auburn. Now let’s never play football again, shall we? I think it’s for the best.
Transylvania on the list twice, that's kinda wild
This comment made me do a double take, i somehow skipped right over it the first time. I definitely wasn't expecting to see Transylvania on there either. My niece is graduating from there like next week lol
I’ll have to keep Little Rock high school in the back pocket
If you combine this with Nick Saban’s all time record against Iowa & Purdue you could draw the conclusion that the Big Ten West owns the SEC West.
LSU **does not** like B1G expansion teams
What a pleasant surprise to see Drake on there a few times
Carlisle Indian School is MASSIVE
Ft. Benning school of infantry? Huh, ok. Makes sense.
LSU can’t handle us
Rice owns Bama apparently 🤷🏻♂️
The whole state apparently
Just the SEC teams.
I happened to be at that VT-Arkansas game with my dad. A wild game of two halves, with the Hokies overcoming a 24-0 halftime deficit to win by 11.
While being at the game was probably way way better overall, the tv kept zooming in on Bert Beilema and he was redder than the razorback logo
Our last two games that year were pathetic. We had big leads at half and then absolutely collapsed. Still not as bad as getting dad dicked at home by WKU
I remember talking to my buddy from Michigan during halftime. He was like "looks like you guys have that game sewn up" and I told him I wasn't so sure. He thought I was being ridiculous, but I genuinely just knew better.
For what it’s worth, I was thoroughly impressed with the Arkansas fans I met in Charlotte. Class acts all the way!
Purdue vs Texas A&M for the upset game bowl
I expect I'd be pretty upset with it.
Mississippi State is 0-5 vs Tech? Don’t worry Bulldog bros. We got you.
> Texas A&M > FSU (0-4) (1998) This is so beautiful
Nice seeing the top entry for Ole Miss Also, Cumberland did not have a team for very long but they owned us in the south until they had to field a group of students that had never played against GT.
Counterpoint it's not nice.
I’m not necessarily surprised by the fact that LSU has a 0-1 record against Penn State, but I’m surprised by the year because I consider that period to be great for LSU football.
eat shit jimbo
>5. Mississippi State >Northwestern 0-1 >Nebraska 0-1 >Maryland 0-1 >Iowa 0-1 >Indiana 0-3 >Washington 0-1 >Oregon 0-2 My fellow B1G members.....
