Football at Lipscomb? While it’s been rumored that it is in the bylaws of the university that we cannot have football on campus, some students still believe that we need it.
What most students don’t know is that there used to be tackle football on campus. During the late 60s and 70s there was intramural tackle football. Yes, full contact, full pads – tackle football.
It was covered by the Babbler, there were injuries, victories and yes, there were even freshman teams that failed to win a game season after season. Each team had a player coach and the games were played on Saturdays; just like some of your favorite college teams.
Now, in 2011, some students would love to have 11-on-11 football, others are glad that Lipscomb does not have a team. Check out the video for their comments.
