COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- With College Football celebrating its 150th birthday this weekend, it gives football programs all across the country a chance to reflect on their own storied histories. Tennessee Tech, currently in its 98th season of intercollegiate varsity football, has had its own share of heroes and legends on the gridiron. This list is compiled through several historical sources at the university from newspaper clippings, game programs, media guides, as well as the books "The Story of Tennessee Tech" by Austin Wheeler Smith (1957) and "The Search for Identity: A History of Tennessee Technological University, 1915-1985" by Harvey G. Neufeldt and W. Calvin Dickinson (1991).While it is impossible to list every single event that has happened over the course of nearly a century of Tennessee Tech football, this is presented as an overview of some of the major events and is an ever-growing document of both the past, present and future of Tennessee Tech football.Note: Records for games earlier than 1922 do not exist in Tech’s archives, as all past media guides started the season-by-season results that year. Before 1922, much of Tech’s teams, as well as scheduled opponents, came from the high school level.
