hmmmmmmmmmm

looks like somebody grew a pair.

Worst season

I don't know. Maybe there was an outbreak of disease or something on one of the teams. The Book of Finney only has a brief one paragraph description of the 1900 season:

quote:

---

E.A. Chavanne took over as coach for the second time in 1900 (he also served as commandant of cadets), and it fell to him to be linked with the greatest form reversal in LSU history. The Tigers opened the season with a 70-0 victory over Millsaps, a game highlighted by ten goals after a touchdown by O.W. McNeese. Three weeks later Chavanne took the team to Jackson, Mississippi, for a return match with Millsaps where it suffered a stunning 6-5 defeat. McNeese scored the LSU touchdown (worth five points) but missed the extra point. Between these two unusual clashes with Millsaps, the Tigers took a 29-0 whipping from Tulane and this time it was LSU which was saved by darkness from a more lopsided beating. The Tigers had possession of the ball only three times and managed to gain only 36 yards. Tulane, on the other hand, ran up 380 yards and scored five touchdowns.

Maybe it was the first football season for Millsaps, and they were just learning to play. Who knows?

Nick must have coached the first game and was hired away by Princeton and Les must have coached the second game. (please feel free to let your sarcasm meters run wild).

Yep, 1900 was the first football season at Millsaps: LINK. That might have even been their first game. LSU's team stunk that year--they were never as good as the 70-0 score might have indicated.
