1927 East Tennessee State Teachers football team

The 1927 East Tennessee State Teacher's College Teachers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in the 1927 NCAA football season. It was the eighth season of East Tennessee State (Then known as East Tennessee State Teacher's College) football. They were led by third-year coach John Robinson, a World War I veteran and a UT graduate, who also taught agriculture and coached the other male sports squads. He was referred to affectionately as "Robbie" and was so popular that later the 1929 yearbook was dedicated to him. Robinson was assisted by William "Willie" Flinn Rogers, who taught history and government at the school from 1925 to 1968. According to The Old Hickory, the 1927 season presented Coach Robinson with a similar task to previous years, which was to develop a team out of "green material". The team finished with a 2-5 record, which included wins in their last two games over Hiwasse and Bluefield. Of their losses, they were blanked in all except against Concord, where they scored six points.[1]

gollark: I also do not believe in the afterlife, but I am still against eternal torture abstractly speaking.
gollark: Also finite torture, in most cases.
gollark: I do not support eternal torture of any form.
gollark: Christianity's pretty bad too because it has hell, although *some* people argue you don't get eternal torture but just annihilated, which isn't much better, and also some people argue everyone goes to heaven or whatever because christianity is a mess.
