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.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

I did read it on the bump though and it is a good story. Andy's "I'm kind of a big deal around here!" thing got me to read it.

Hey, you pompous ass: It's a story about TOWSON and NORTHEASTERN. If I posted a story about a 17 year old game between Idaho State and UNC, would YOU read it?


I think not.

[andy7171]

Yeah.

All you haters have to take a place...

Any other I-aa team ever win an ESPY? You whores?

[bobbythekidd]

Yeah.

The rest of us measure success by counting games won, not ESPY's.

BTW, I read it this morning when you posted it.

[andy7171]

Thanks for the attention. I was feeling lonely last night.

...it was my junior year. I wish I could find the kick return on youtube.


Yes BANDLE, Towson State, it says so on my diploma.

The Tarheels played Idaho State!?!

too bad those saps over at AGS ate your Towson State drivel right up, Andy. Would have loved to see another ignore.

The only attention I got over there was people calling me a jerk for the reaction I got here.

I really just posted it over there for HuskyAlum. Us "single rep schools" have to look out for each other.

I would have voted for a Towson ESPY if they had been able to rally from 49-0 last Saturday!

Idaho State and Northern Colorado played 17 years ago?

Actually, I think that was back when Idaho State was actually good at football.
