1929 East Tennessee State Teachers football team

The 1929 East Tennessee State Teacher's College Teachers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in the 1929 NCAA football season. It was the tenth season of East Tennessee State (Then known as East Tennessee State Teacher's College) football. They were led by fifth-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. This would be Robinson's final year coaching the team, and his squad would finish with a 2-5-1 record. During this same period, the college would face financial troubles due to the stock market crash and The Great Depression, and athletic spending would decrease significantly over the next few years. It wouldn't be until after the start of World War II the school would recover.[1]
