Not play "dress up." He liked to fucking win. 5 undefeated seasons. How about we honor him by doing that? Skip the grotesque abortions that Under Armour conjures up. Win some goddamn football games. Rant over.

Rockne's wins were for real.

But he also did lots of things which would be considered illegal today. Like hiring his favorite sportswriters as refs (with the understanding they would give him a crucial call now and then.

The author chronicles how unis took on massive debt starting in the late 20s to build giant stadiums. That financial burden heavily impacted unis during the Depression, forcing a win at all costs mentality within athletic departments. Sure sounds familiar....

No better way to honor Rockne than to pound Navy by half a hundred points.
