Haas 10th Rod Albright Dick Shirk Brian Tierney Memorial Field Lambert Cup The 1966 Gettysburg Bullets football team was an American football team that represented Gettysburg College during the 1966 NCAA College Division football season. The Bullets placed second in the University Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC), but were awarded the Lambert Cup as the best football team at a mid-sized college in the East. The team played its home games at Musselman Stadium in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. During its 10th year under head coach Eugene M. Haas, this team compiled a 7–2 record. Rod Albright, Dick Shirk and Brian Tierney were the team captains.Football All-Time Results Gettysburg College Gettysburg, Pa. 8 January 30, 2021 https://gettysburgsports.com/documents/2019/11/20//All_times_results_1890_present.pdf Gettysburg finished the year on a six-game win streak. After the second straight win, the Bullets entered the UPI small college poll at No. 18; two weeks later they rose to No. 17, and remained in that rank at the end of the year. Both of Gettysburg's early-season losses were to divisional rivals, yielding a 4–2 MAC University Division record, good for only second place. Nonetheless, the Bullets leapfrogged Delaware – which had beaten them in the league standings and in their head-to-head matchup – in the Lambert Cup balloting. Gettysburg had not been the top choice of any of the selectors, but were mentioned among the top 10 on each of the 10 ballots. The surprise selection irked fans of Delaware, which had been named No. 1 on five of the ballots, but entirely omitted from two of them.Cup Unexpected, Haas Admits Hal Bodley November 30, 1966 41 Evening Journal Wilmington, Del.
