Pigskin Dispatch

Timothy P. Brown of footballarchaeology.com joins host Darin Hayes to reveal groundbreaking historical research that may change the narrative of American football's history. Brown uncovers the story of Anthony Harris, the first known black college football coach at a non-HBCU institution, Colby College, in 1903 and 1904, predating the previously credited Matthew Bullock. This fascinating revelation challenges the commonly accepted timeline and highlights Harris's pioneering role in the sport. The episode delves into the challenges of uncovering African American contributions to football history due to the lack of coverage in mainstream newspapers at the time. Darin and Tim celebrate the importance of recognizing these overlooked figures and preserving their legacy for future generations.
