#RoadTripSports We’ve been on this journey at the
College Football America Yearbook
since 2011. That’s when our founder,
Kendall Webb, came to myself and
Chuck Cox with the idea of doing
what we love and combining it with
the idea that we could cover college
INSTAGRAM football at every level.

could stay to shoot the game and soak
in the experience until we had to leave
for South Bend.
To kick off the season, I caught
games at Purdue, Michigan State and
Notre Dame. I went to Morgantown,
W.V., to catch Baylor at West Virginia
and then two days later, I was in In-
diana, Penn., to see Indiana (PA) host
Seton Hill (Sunday it was the Steelers
and Browns).
Inside our first postseason edi-
tion you’ll find three stories — my
gameday experience at Notre Dame (I
saw them play Michigan), Webb’s day
at Fenway Park for the Harvard-Yale
game and Cox’s trip to Arizona for a
Western States Football League dou-
bleheader, and in some cases the final
games for those programs.
Those trips embody what we try
to do at College Football America
Yearbook and at RoadTripSports.com
— bring the experience of college
football to you through our experienc-
es, our photo galleries, our video and
more. We’re still growing and there
is still so much more to experience in
this great game. We look forward to it
every season.
This first postseason edition is a
wrap-up for the season. It includes
our entire game log for the season, our
stories and a wrap-up of each level of
college football. Of course, we have

CHUCK COX
Chuck Cox is associate publisher of
RoadTripSports and serves as director of ed-
itorial content for College Football America.
Cox began his journalism career as a staff
member of his high school newspaper, The
Panther’s Paw, at Spring Hill High School in
Longview, Texas.
Roaming around town trying to “sell ads”
during second period, along with asking all
the prettiest girls in school if they wanted to
be interviewed for the paper, made journal-
ism an instant hit with him.
And then there was the whole sports thing.
Cox enrolled in Kilgore College, where he
encountered one of the two greatest teachers
and influences in his life in newspaper ad-
viser Bettye Craddock. While at Kilgore he
worked as sports editor and associate editor
of The Flare.
Cox also covered high school football for
the Gladewater Mirror and the Longview
News-Journal.
After earning his Associate of Arts de-
gree from Kilgore, he moved on to Stephen
F. Austin State University. It was there he
encountered the second of the two greatest
teachers and influences in his life in newspa-
per adviser Pat Spence.
At SFA, he worked as sports editor and
associate editor of The Pine Log, while cov-
ering high school football for the local paper,
The Daily Sentinel.
Upon graduation in 1994, Cox worked
at several Texas newspapers, including The
(Center) Light & Champion, the Palestine
Herald-Press, the Tyler Morning Telegraph,
and the Denton Record-Chronicle.
He is married to the former Betsy McMil-
lian, and they have a dog named Gabby.
And he has way too many college football
mini helmets.
His book, “A Matter of Life and Death
in Texas,” was published at Amazon.com in
2017.

KENDALL WEBB
Kendall Webb is the publisher and founder
of RoadTripSports.com and its signature pub-
lication, College Football America Yearbook.
Webb had the idea for the publication while
working on a Website of his own that included
every college football team in America. Having
followed all levels of college football for more
than 20 years, Webb began exploring the idea of
creating a college football yearbook that would
also include every team in the United States,
and College Football America is the result.
Webb began his career in journalism by writ-
ing for the Sabine High School newspaper, The
Cardinal Call, in Liberty City, Texas, before
moving on to Kilgore College. Webb would
immediately move into an assistant editor role
on KC’s award-winning newspaper, The Flare,
before serving as the paper’s editor his soph-
omore year. During his tenure, The Flare was
a multiple sweepstakes winner in the Texas
Community College Journalism Association
and the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association.
“I give all the credit to Bettye Craddock,
my journalism adviser and mentor who was in
charge of The Flare,” Webb said. “I learned ev-
erything I know about journalism from Bettye.”
After earning his Associate of Arts from
KC, Webb moved on to the University of Tex-
as at Austin where he completed a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Journalism.
He later completed a second degree in
Recording Industry Management at Middle
Tennessee State University, and is currently
working on his Master of Liberal Arts degree
in journalism at Harvard University through the
school’s extension studies program.
When he’s not on the road, Webb enjoys
all kinds of music and going to concerts, but
is also a historian of country music with a col-
lection spanning the entire recorded history of
the genre.
Webb lives and works in the Nashville,
Tenn., area and can be reached at kendall-
webb@RoadTripSports.com. He can also be
found on Twitter at @RoadTripSports.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL AMERICA 7 2018 year in review

 our 2018 favorites
On the campus map it’s called the Main Building. To everyone else, it’s the Gold Dome, one of the more recognizable buildings at the University of Notre Dame and
one of the primary draws on gameday in South Bend, Ind. (RoadTripSports.com photo by Matthew Postins)
AN IRISH SEASON OPENER
How Notre Dame
opens up a college
football season
By MATTHEW POSTINS
Let’s start with the fact that I was never a
Notre Dame guy growing up.
I never bought into the “Notre Dame mys-
tique” that I heard so much about. Sure, I
watched games growing up in Texas and I
kinda rooted to see Notre Dame lose. Unless,
of course, they were playing someone I RE-
ALLY didn’t like (this being a journalistic
endeavor, I’ll keep that to myself).
But I had never been to South Bend, either.
I had never been to a Notre Dame game on
campus. I went in 2010 and that changed my
mind completely.
I was a fan that day, and I parked in the
remote parking lot on the outskirts of cam-
COLLEGE FOOTBALL AMERICA
pus. I was traveling with our other College
Football America Yearbook editor, Chuck
Cox (we were in the midst of the famed No-
tre Dame-Green Bay double and we managed
to squeeze in a Blackhawks game that night).
They have a shuttle that will take you from
the parking lot to the stadium. But we had
never been on campus before and we said,
“To heck with it, let’s walk.”
It turned out to be a great decision. As we
followed the crowd through the north side of
campus, we could see the Gold Dome poking
over the treetops. From there, we slipped in
between a couple of buildings and then into
the Quad. And that turned into an awakening.
Being mid-October the leaves on the trees
were every color you could imagine. Kids
and their dads were throwing the football
around. Student organizations were cooking
burgers and hot dogs. It was almost disori-
enting. I heard what football was like in the
Midwest but I had rarely experienced it to
that point. I was always covering a particular
8 2018 YEAR IN REVIEW
team. This particular year I was just a fan,
stumbling around and trying to figure out
where I was. I had no map and didn’t plan
ahead. So I just kept following the crowd into
what I now realize was the Hesburgh Library.
On one end, I saw the Knute Rockne gate for
Notre Dame Stadium. On the other end I saw
what everyone calls “Touchdown Jesus.”
I had just stumbled into the epicenter of
Notre Dame gameday.
Touchdown Jesus is actually the façade
of the Hesburgh Library. The near-quarter
mile walkway between the library and the
Rockne gate serves as this nexus of what I
would call “tourist fandom.” There were just
as many Notre Dame fans walking around
as there were non-Notre Dame fans walking
around taking pictures and soaking things
in. You might be saying, “Well, they do this
everywhere.” Well, no, they actually don’t.
As I write this I’ve criss-crossed the country
SEE IRISH ON PAGE 9
IRISH FROM PAGE 8
to cover games on both coasts
and just about everywhere in
between. There is nothing quite
like the vibe in South Bend on
gameday.
Notre Dame changed my mind
that day in 2010. I didn’t become
a Notre Dame guy, but I thor-
oughly enjoyed the experience
and came to appreciate what it
represented in college football,
especially when you can place it
on the spectrum of experiences at
other stadiums.
When people ask me about the
best gameday experience I’ve
had, that’s the game I immedi-
ately gravitate toward. And the
opponent that day was nothing
special — Western Michigan.
No offense to the Broncos, but
that was pre-P.J. Fleck. But it’s
the experience that matters, and
if an alien landed on this planet
and asked, “What is college foot-
ball all about?” I would send that
alien to Notre Dame.
That’s why I could not wait to
get back to Notre Dame Stadi-
um in 2018. After all, it was the
Irish’s opener against Michigan.
At the time, both were in the Top
15. And things had changed at
Notre Dame, especially when
it came to the stadium. Reno-
vations, new seats and field turf
(no grass at a Notre Dame game?
Unthinkable).
So what is it like today?
Exactly the same. And more.
This time, I had a tour guide.

— as we walked over about two-
and-a-half hours before game
time a mass was just letting

entrances you’ll find the words
“God, Family, Notre Dame.”
Then it’s around the corner and
down a short path to the Grotto.

Lourdes is across from Saint

Lourdes, France, where the Vir-

it’s an outdoor prayer area where
Catholics come to pray and light
candles for loved ones (I lit a
few for family members and
friends that day). It’s also a com-
miseration point for fans of the
Irish and the opponent alike. It’s
quiet, respectful and reflective.
You could end up spending a lot
of time there, whether there’s a
game or not.
Next up was the statue they
call “First Down Moses,” be-

right by the Hesburgh Library.
In fact, we walked in the library,
through a lobby area, out of a
door into the lawn area across
from the Rockne gate. We had
ended up where I started so long
ago.
Now there are player walks at
many campuses. That’s where
the players make a short walk
among the fans to their lock-
er room before the game. I’ve
done that at other campuses. But
Notre Dame’s is completely dif-
ferent. From the entrance to the Our tour guide, John Fineran, calls the man in this statue “his coach,” former

library, we made the entire walk
the players and coaches make
— more than a quarter-mile —
through Irish fans 10 deep along
each side. We finally emerged at
the Rockne gate entrance, which
faces the library. And that’s
where I stood as the Irish players
and coaches made their way from
the throng of Irish fans toward
the stadium entrance, high-fiving
fans and soaking in cheer after
cheer. For fun, I followed them
in through the entrance, down
the tunnel leading into the locker
room and onto the field for the
first time.
From there, you get a differ-
ent perspective. Notre Dame’s
stadium design is simple, a bowl
with two levels. They’ve add-
ed a ton of amenities, includ-
ing suites on both sides, during
what was called the Crossroads
Project. The first time I went to
Notre Dame they hadn’t started
the project yet. But thanks to this
project the stadium now featured
a great blend of the old and new.
The suites, the modern ameni-
ties, haven’t detracted from the
old-school ambiance of things
like the inside concourse, which
features billboards of old Irish
game programs from the 1920s
and 1930s. Notre Dame has tak- Notre Dame defensive back Aholi Gilman screams after making a play in the first half against Michigan. (RoadTripSports.

new doesn’t intrude on the old.
As for being on the field?
Well, there’s simply nothing like
it. It’s a crowded sideline to be
sure, but it’s an excellent atmo-
sphere. A packed house with ev-
eryone screaming is exactly what
college football is all about.
But at Notre Dame, it’s a lit-
tle something extra. It’s that one
place you have to go just one
time, just to experience it all, if
you’re a college football fan.

Fenway Park is used to seeing red. But when the Harvard Crimson came to Fenway to face Yale in its annual rivalry game, the Crimson gave the stadium a different
hue. (RoadTripSports.com photo by Kendall Webb)
‘THE GAME’ AT FENWAY PARK
Harvard, Yale take
the home of the Red
Sox to renew an
annual rivalry
By KENDALL WEBB
For more than a century, Fenway Park has
occupied a prominent place in both Boston’s
physical landscape and the city’s sports en-
vironment. Built upon the ancient saltwater
marshes of ‘The Fens’ from which the park’s
name is derived, the stadium is not just a
Boston landmark these days, however; it was
also designated a national landmark during its
2012 centennial celebration when it was add-
ed to the National Register of Historic Places.
Fenway Park officially opened on April 20,
1912, with the Boston Red Sox appropriately
COLLEGE FOOTBALL AMERICA
hosting the New York Highlanders — better
known as the New York Yankees starting the
following season. It took 11 innings for the
Red Sox to dispense with their eventual rivals
by a count of 7-6, but it’s likely that not too
many noticed. The news was still dominated
by the sinking of the R.M.S. Titanic just five
days earlier en route to New York and less
than a thousand nautical miles due east of
Boston.
Eventually, Boston sports fans would take
notice, however. While the park was built for
their baseball team, it would go on to host
many of the city’s other professional sports
franchises beginning with the Boston Bull-
dogs of the first American Football League,
who played one game at Fenway Park during
the team’s only season in 1926. Football
returned a few years later when the Boston
Redskins played four seasons at Fenway Park
from 1933 to 1936 before moving to the na-
tion’s capital.
The Boston Shamrocks (1936-37) of the

second AFL, and the Boston Yanks (1944-
1948) and the Boston Patriots (1963-68) —
both of the National Football League — were
all tenants of Fenway Park along the way, too.
The venerable stadium has hosted soccer and
hockey games and was even the venue for a
1954 basketball game featuring the Harlem
Globetrotters. Boxing and wrestling matches
have been staged at Fenway along with many
concerts. President Franklin D. Roosevelt
once spoke to a crowd of more than 40,000 at
Fenway in 1944. Until November 17, 2018,
however, there was one event, one game, it
had never hosted.
The Game.
The Harvard-Yale football rivalry dates
back to Nov. 13, 1875, when the two schools
met on the gridiron for the first time. Their in-
tercollegiate athletic rivalry dates back even
further to 1852 when the first Harvard-Yale
Regatta took place on Lake Winnipesaukee’s

Center Harbor in New Hamp-
shire. Harvard’s Crimson won
both the first boat race and the
first football game — a 4-0 deci-
sion on November 13, 1875. Ten
of the next 11 games would go
Yale’s way with one tie mixed in
as the Bulldogs eventually built
an early 22-4-3 advantage in the
football series by 1911.
The series has tipped in Har-
vard’s direction in the decades
since including wins in 15 of
the last 18 games, but due to
the early dominance, Yale still
holds the overall lead with a 67-
60-8 record. The 1894 matchup
was played at Hampden Park
in Springfield, Mass., but every
game since then had been played
at one of the two schools’ home
fields. That is, until this past No-
vember when the sacred Fenway
turf finally got its long overdue
opportunity to host The Game.
It was a full-circle moment of
sorts for Harvard athletics. The
Crimson baseball team actually
played the first game at the sta-
dium in an exhibition against
the Red Sox just 11 days before
that official opening day contest
against the team that would be-
come the Yankees. On April 9,
1912, the Red Sox beat the boys
from Harvard, 2-0. Six days later
while the Red Sox were making
final preparations for the start
of the 1912 season, the Titan-
ic crashed into an iceberg and
slipped under the icy North At-
lantic surface three hours later,
taking more than 1,500 passen-
gers with it to the ocean floor
more than 12,000 feet below.
Fenway’s official opening was
suddenly back page news as the
world mourned the tragic loss of
life that still ranks as the fourth
most deadly peacetime maritime
disaster in history.
The fact that Fenway Park has
survived to this day is surprising
considering how often franchise
owners wrangle taxpayers into
footing the bill for new facilities.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL AMERICA
Indeed, Fenway itself survived
plans for a new stadium in 1999
that would have led to the de-
struction of most of the current
facility.
The ensuing public uproar
played a role in thwarting those
plans, and the existing facility
was instead renovated with the
plan that it will now continue to
serve multiple future generations
of fans over the coming decades.
The fact it did survive, however,
leads to the less surprising con-
clusion that ultimately the park
was destined to, one day, host
The Game.
On a beautiful Saturday after-
noon in mid-November last fall,
it finally happened. Harvard and
Yale met on the Fenway turf on
Nov. 17 for the 135th edition of
their annual rivalry. It was every-
thing you could hope for, too, in a
rivalry as storied as this one with
the two teams ultimately combin-
ing for 72 points, the most com-
bined points ever scored in The
Game.
13 2018 year in review
For Harvard fans, the news
was even better. The 45-27 win
represented the most points a
Harvard squad had ever scored
against Yale, and the victory
ended a two-year run by the
Bulldogs — the Eli’s first win-
ning streak in the series since a
three-year run from 1998-2000.
Overall, Harvard has won 18 of
the past 24 contests in the series,
but Yale didn’t go away quietly
in this one.
Harvard dictated the pace
early, scoring three touchdowns
only to see the Bulldogs answer
with a touchdown each time. A
Yale field goal at the 8:33 mark of
the third quarter finally gave the
Bulldogs their first lead at 24-21.
The Crimson then added another
touchdown to reclaim the lead at
28-24, and after another Eli field
goal to trim the score to 28-27, it
was all Harvard. A field goal and
two more touchdowns would put
the game — The Game at Fen-
way Park, that is — solidly in the
win column for the Crimson.

You’ll never catch me passing up an op-

lived in the Valley of the Sun for two years
as a kid in middle school, and my love for the
city, its unique qualities and stunning beauty
never waned.
But my sojourn to my former home back
in November was bittersweet because the
four Maricopa County junior college football
programs — Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix and
Scottsdale — had announced 2018 would be

If Snow opts to keep football, there are no
other NJCAA programs in close proximity
to schedule games against. California has a
whopping 69 programs, but they all exclu-
sively play each other in the California Com-
munity College Athletic Association.
Sadly, that means the entire Western States

The masses who never experienced foot-

“Last Chance U” premiered in 2016. Three

has a huge following.
Now, even people who went to huge col-

that there is only a two-year window for play-

larger program.
So, you have some players
hoping to continue their careers
and others playing because they
weren’t ready to hang up their
cleats after high school. To see
that all come together is special.
One would think building a dy-
nasty would prove impossible at
the juco level. Not so much. I’m
looking at you, East Mississip-
pi.
On a smaller scale than FBS
and FCS, the pageantry is also
part of the game at the juco level.
Again, Kilgore College spoiled
me with the world-famous Ran-
gerettes dance team and spectac-
ular Ranger Band. It’s also pretty
cool that several juco programs
share stadiums with the local
high school football teams —
especially in Texas. The Kilgore
High School Bulldogs play at
R.E. St. John Memorial Stadium
on Friday night, while the Kil-
gore College Rangers take the
field on Saturday afternoon or
evening.
Outside of the big-picture cir-
cumstances, my trip back to my
former home in Phoenix couldn’t
have worked out any better. On
a beautiful Saturday afternoon,
I started in Scottsdale to see the
bowl-bound Fighting Artichokes
take on the Glendale Gauchos.
That’s another thing about the
Western States Football League:
it has, in my opinion, the cool-
est set of mascots in the country.
In addition to the Fighting Arti-
chokes and Gauchos, there are
Aztecs, Badgers, Bears, Mata-
dors, Thunderbirds and the pièce
de résistance, the Gila Monsters.
I also love taking photos with
mascots, so I got a tremendous
photo with Artie the Artichoke
before kickoff. Scottsdale rolled
to a 44-17 win in its final home
game before losing the Valley of
the Sun Bowl. I was hoping there
would be more fans there to see
the game, but there was a definite
nostalgic vibe in the air.
After taking a break, I made
the 10-mile trek from Scottsdale
Community College to Mesa
Community College to see the
T-Birds battle Phoenix as a beau-
tiful day turned into an even
more beautiful evening. Once

again, the home team came away
with a big 37-12 win. This time,
it was the final game of the sea-

As the clock ticked away in
the second half, I thought about
all of the players and coaches
I saw that day and where they
would end up in 2019. I hope
that somehow all of these pro-
grams figure out a way to come
back at some point, although I
realize that’s probably not going
to happen.
Even with “Last Chance U,”
juco football remains somewhat
of a hidden gem. There are some
places, like East Mississippi and
Butler (Kan.), that fully embrace
it and can financially sustain pro-

stadiums.

The photo says it all.
When we went to College
Station, Texas, for the
Clemson-Texas A&M game
we caught this Clemson
player (Christian Wilkins)
rocking this “Own The Playoff” T-shirt during
pre-game warmups. In 2018, that’s exactly
what the Tigers did. After wrapping up an
undefeated regular season and an ACC
title, the Tigers went to the Cotton Bowl and
dominated Notre Dame in a College Football
Playoff semifinal. What happened next was
almost stupefying. Clemson defeated Ala-
bama, 44-16, in the National Championship
Game in Santa Clara, Calif. In doing so, the
Tigers became the first 15-0 team in modern
college football history. The Tigers won their
second national title in three years (and third
overall). They practically guaranteed head
coach Dabo Swinney a spot in the College
Football Hall of Fame one day. Clemson isn’t
a team anymore. It’s a program, and one of
the best in the country, and with a passel
of young players coming back (including
quarterback Trevor Lawrence) the Tigers will
be just as hard to deal with as they defend Clemson went undefeated and “owned the playoff” on their way to a second national championship in three
