It beats the hell out of the Gatorade bucket thing. Harbaugh talked about it, too.

Although there are no pictures available ( to my knowledge), how about what LSJU did prior to the 76 Big Game...

The Cardinal carried Jack Christiansen, who had been fired earlier that week, on to the field before the game.  Thus inspired the Cardinal upset UC 27-24.

There have been three instances of firing a coach the week of Big Game -- all with the same result.

Does the day AFTER Big Game count as the week of Big Game? I'm thinking of Wlat, although it pains me to do so.

Not at all. We lost that game. It only works when a coach is fired before the game.

That's what I was pointing out....not very clearly.

You remember that after Harbaugh made the comment, the team did it following the Orange Bowl victory, right?

Re: I wish teams would revive this tradition - yvonne - 08-18-2013

Yeah, and then after the Rose Bowl, the team did the Gatorade bath.

Maybe Joe Kapp? I don't know who the other one would be.

My mistake. Pappy Waldorf and Chuck Taylor resigned the week of the Big Game
