East Tennessee State University Football (TN) (Images of Sports)

From the beginning, East Tennessee State University has placed great emphasis on creating a football program that would give their studentathletes

training unlike any other for sportsmanship, leadership, and academic excellence. During its 80 years, the football program grew from barely fielding enough able-bodied students to going undefeated and winning its first bowl game. Although the program was discontinued after the 2003 season, there is a renewed commitment by the university to restore the program and its strong traditions with the help of the community and groups like the Buc Football and Friends Foundation.
