Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Colorado College Tigers football program represented Colorado College of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The school was the first college in the Western United States to organize a college football program. This article covers the program's first three decades from 1882 to 1909.

Significant milestones in the period covered include the following:

  • In 1882, Colorado College played and won its first game, defeating a team of volunteer firemen known as the Sigafus Hose Company.[1][2]
  • On April 11, 1885, Colorado College defeated the University of Denver, 12–0, in the first college football game played west of the Mississippi River.[1][2]
  • On November 28, 1889, Colorado College lost an intercollegiate game for the first time, falling by a 14–6 score in the first of what would become 90 rivalry games with the Colorado School of Mines.
  • On November 29, 1890, Colorado College won a 44–0 victory over the first University of Colorado football team.
  • In 1898, Washburn Field opened and became the home field for Colorado College football for the next 125 years.[2]
  • In 1899 and 1900, Colorado College won consecutive Colorado Football Association championships, defeating the University of Colorado both years.
  • Colorado College began competition with Colorado Agricultural (later renamed Colorado State) and won eight of the first ten matches between 1900 and 1910.
  • On October 12, 1906, Colorado College defeated Utah, the only blemish on an otherwise undefeated season for Utah.
  • On October 17 and 24, 1908, Colorado College won back-to-back games against Texas and Utah, both of which are now Power Five programs.
