Speaking of FOOTBALL, did you know?:

On Sept. 5, 1906, Saint Louis University's Blue & White (the Billiken Mascot came later) Bradbury Robinson tossed a pigskin to teammate Jack Schneider. It was a remarkably creative play for the era, one that ultimately became known as the forward pass.

The game was scoreless. According to SLU archives, head coach Eddie Cochems was frustrated with the team's inability to move the ball. For weeks, they had been secretly practicing this new art of tossing the ball forward from a starting position behind the ear.

And so the football's first air attack began.

And it started as you might expect, with an incompletion. Under the rules then, the ball was turned over to the opponent, Carroll College.

On SLU's next possession, though, Robinson connected with Schneider 20-yards downfield. The defense was so surprised, Schneider waltzed in for the score.

Saint Louis University beat Carroll 22-0.

There's a deadly history to this gridiron breakthrough.
