Football in the City of Iowa started out as a club sport in 1872. It eventually developed into an intercollegiate game in 1882. After six years, the first officially recognized football team of the University of Iowa was born. The original team was invited to play in the Western Football Conference on account of the prowess of its team members. This is also called the Big Ten Conference.

The Rams have a long history in the NFL, having begun play in Cleveland in 1936. They have been a rather mobile team during their history, moving from Cleveland to Los Angeles in 1946, and then from Los Angeles to Anaheim in 1980 before ultimately relocating to Saint Louis in 1994. The team’s mobility may have been foreshadowing of the mobile offense they would employ from 1999 to 2001 – an offense that earned the apt nickname “The Greatest Show on Turf.” Though the Show didn’t have the staying power of previous dynasties like the 1940s Bears, 1960s Packers, or 1970s Steelers, there is no arguing that it was one of the most dazzling displays of offensive efficiency that the sport had ever seen.

If you’re a fan of the National Football League, you know how important tradition is. Dallas and Detroit are supposed to play football games every Thanksgiving. Madden has to bring a twelve-legged turkey to the game. There’s a reason they called it the Ice Bowl, and it doesn’t matter if non-fans understand what we are talking about. These traditions give the sport we love its own unique flavor and appeal. The Seattle Seahawks, despite only having been in the league since 1976, have an important tradition of their own – and it is one that every fan of football can appreciate. It involves the team’s acknowledgement of that all-important 12th Man

National Football League fans are well aware of the sterling reputation of the San Francisco 49ers franchise. With five Super Bowl trophies to their credit, the team had one of the NFL’s greatest dynasties during the 1980s and early 1990s, thanks to an innovative style of offensive and great play from the quarterback position. And when we say dynasties, we mean dynasty of the highest order! Over the course of a sixteen year time frame beginning in 1984, the team won ten games or more during each season with such NFL greats as Steve Young, and Jerry Rice. For sheer star power, though, and four of those five Super Bowl wins, the great Joe Montana cannot be overlooked.

The New York Jets rarely do anything of note these days – though their hiring of Brett Favre a couple of years ago did create a minor sensation, at least until that season fizzled out with a late-season rut that caused the team to once again miss the postseason. In fact, playoffs have seldom been kind to the Jets, and division titles have been even less so. When it comes to New York football success, fans in the city are advised to look to the Giants for inspiration. For a few years back in the late Sixties, however, the Jets were anything but an afterthought. That, or course, was the era of Joe Namath and the magnificence that was the third Super Bowl.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have seemingly always been among the most elite of all college football programs. Their victories number in excess of 800 – only six other programs have achieved that mark – and they stand alone as the team with the most football victories of any in the NCAA over the last 50 years. With 119 season campaigns under their belt, they currently stand in fourth place among Division 1 football wins. They have also won a total of five national crowns. Three of those five titles have been achieved within the last 25 seasons, and involved teams coached by one of football’s most storied sideline generals: the great Tom Osborne, whose teams dominated the college game from 1973 through 1997.
