The Sports
Aesthetics: A Uni Watch Fans Page will be posting a minimum of 1 NCAA Football Team (Division
I) a day to celebrate the 150 years of College Football. The teams will begin
with the oldest team in their respective conference (Big Ten = Oldest
Conference) until all the teams are listed. The team helmets will go back to
the early 1960’s and their current logo will be used.
The Widener Pride football team represents Widener University in
college football. The football team has had recent success winning the MAC
championship in 2012 and an "Elite 8" appearance in the Division III
Playoffs, the ECAC Southwest Bowl in 2011,[2] and the ECAC South Atlantic Bowl
in 2005.[3] Its greatest success has been winning the NCAA Division III
National Championship in 1977 and 1981 under long-time coach Bill Manlove and
reaching the semi-finals in 1979, 1980, and 2000. Widener also reached the
quarterfinals of the tournament in 2012 before losing to eventual NCAA D-III
National Champion, Mount Union, by a lopsided 72–17 score.[4] Additionally,
Widener football has won 17 MAC championships, the most of any team in the
conference. Billy "White Shoes" Johnson played for Widener in the early
70s. He went on to be an all-pro National Football League player and was
selected to the NFL 75th Anniversary All-Time Team as well as the College
Football Hall of Fame.
