1928 East Tennessee State Teachers football team

The 1928 East Tennessee State Teacher's College Teachers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in the 1928 college football season. It was the ninth season of East Tennessee State (Then known as East Tennessee State Teacher's College) football. They were led by fourth-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. For the first time since the program started, the 1928 squad had 28 men come out for football with 10 returning lettermen. As a result, the 1928 team was a success due to having their first winning record since 1921, which included wins against high school competition. This season also marked the first time the school would play long-time rival Appalacchian State, which was then known as Appalachian Training School of Boone.[1]

gollark: Given that I just made people write 11 excellent matrix multiplication implementations as part of my plan, I wish to use this.
gollark: And how is this to be used for fibonnacious purposes? How does it *work*?
gollark: How do you do fibonacci with matrix multiplication?!?!?!?!
gollark: *My* language makes it impossible to recurse by dynamically inspecting the stack on all function calls (efficiently via something something SIMD/vectorization) and immediately halting if recursion is detected.
gollark: Or mutual recursion.
