Not to quibble...you say a "rebuilding year." But isn't that what makes for a great victory...when they are unexpected, when you are overcoming the odds? We're talking about great wins here, not great seasons. -- FORDHAM RAMS FOOTBALL FORUM

In reply to: JoltinJoe 's message, "The Tennessee victory was in 1934. Fordham finished 5-3 that season in what was a rebuilding year. That is why I didn't include any of the 1934 wins on the list. Many of the great players who were integral players on the great '36 and '37 "Seven Blocks of Granite" teams were freshmen or sophomores on the '34 team. A sophomore lineman by the name of Lombardi makes his first featured, individually pictured appearance in the 1934 Purdue game day program. A copy of that program may be the most valuable Fordham sports collectible in existence." on 15:03:35 04/14/05 Thu

I'm not faulting your choice. I'm glad you brought up a great win I overlooked. (NT) JoltinJoe 16:34:38 04/14/05 Thu

The Tennessee game was played on November 3, 1934 at the Polo Grounds. Fordham won, 13-12. Tenn finished 8-2 that season. Its other loss was to Alabama. Tennessee is ranked No. 5 for 1934, according to Sorenson. Fordham's 1934 season is ranked 31st, according to Sorenson. (NT) JoltinJoe 21:39:53 04/14/05 Thu
