1927 East Tennessee State Teachers football team

American college football season August 2023 February 2026 1927 East Tennessee State Teachers football Independent 2–5 John Robinson 3rd Jack "Casey" Painter The 1927 East Tennessee State Teachers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State Teacher's College—now known as East Tennessee State University (ETSU)—as an independent in the 1927 college football season. They were led by third-year coach John Robinson. Robinson was assisted by William "Willie" Flinn Rogers, who taught history and government at the school from 1925 to 1968. According to Old Hickory, the 1927 season presented Robinson with a similar task to previous years, which was to develop a team out of "green material". The team finished with a 2–5 record, which included wins in their last two games over 1927 Hiwassee Panthers Hiwassee and 1927 Bluefield Rams Bluefield. Of their losses, they were blanked in all except against 1927 Concord Mountain Lions Concord, where they scored six points.https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/Products/9780738544243 9780738544243 East Tennessee State University Football Roberts L.
