guessing helmets

history

but, not Nebraska
While the list of most individual teams ordered is pretty diverse, my friend also sorted which programs have the most team seasons ordered, and THAT list is all helmet/king/blue bloods.

Wow, would not have guessed SMU.   I'm thinking now the average age of your buyer is 40+.

I just ordered a 10 pack.  :)  winter is coming!

I suspect most of the ones in this order are in your top 25.

I do need to order a couple of hapless teams.  I'm thinking late 80s KU/KSU, maybe Mizzou or a Denny Green Northwestern team.

I see you have fancy game pads now.

We had someone order the B10 for 1979.  Northwestern started it's epic losing streak that season, I believe, or it was the first full winless season, something like that.

I could not find any jersey numbers but the QB's, and I tried like hell.  To this day, it's the only team like that.  No video to pour over, no obscure documents to discover...nothing.  

Well...I say that, and I've failed so far at creating the top 10 Miami-OH team from 1974.  There isn't jack shit on them.  All that being said, I guess athletic departments are mostly opened back up, so they may be able to help me.  Over the summer, they'd still reply, but couldn't access what was needed.

'84 BC is sort of the 'one of these teams is not like the others' among the top 10.  Sales for the Flutie flakes have been strong since we started.
