Tigers' Miracle Win Over Northeastern Is A Story Worth Repeating
Jack Grinold has been the Sports Information Director at Northeastern University for nearly 50 years. In fact, he has been in the athletic public relations business so long, he was the Boston Patriots' original Public Relations Director when the American Football League was started in 1960.
It's been my good fortune to count Jack among my friends for more than 25 years and I always enjoy his company. Most of the time, Jack is a very friendly, jovial man who loves to tell stories.
However, there is one story he never wants to tell and it annoys him whenever it's mentioned - the football game between Towson and Northeastern that was played on November 14, 1992 in the old Minnegan Stadium.
The Tigers pulled out a 33-32 win on a touchdown pass that was thrown after the game was over - and that's just part of the story.
With Towson and Northeastern slated to face each other on Saturday in Boston, it's certain that somebody will mention that game to Jack - and set him off again. The only thing I know is that it won't be me.
For the first 59 minutes and 56 seconds, there was nothing special about that Towson-Northeastern game in 1992.
