Like I told you earlier my Grandfather was Captain, (center) for NC State from 1911-1915. It was called NC Agriculture and Mechanics College in those days.
Football has really changed since those days. I remember him telling me in those days the whole team consisted of 11 players a Sub and a coach.
Here's a picture from 1913 when they won the conference.

That is a cool slice of history, Larke. The smoke stack on that one building looks very familiar.

I was just wondering if any of those old buildings were still around. Oh and y'all bite me. ;)

"A win over Virginia Tech in Norfolk that season was dubbed the "biggest game ever played in the South". Coach Green led team to a third conference championship in 1913, with a record of 6–1."
