📌 Episode Description:

Welcome to History on the Margins – the podcast where we dig into the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully overlooked corners of history. And what better way to kick things off than with a teaser episode just in time for the start of college football season?

In this episode, we take you on a fast-paced ride through the strangest stories in college sports: from teams accidentally scoring on themselves, to mascots getting straight-up kidnapped, to games interrupted by wildlife, nudity, or good old-fashioned chaos.

Think of this as a hype reel – a sampler plate of absurdities – to get your adrenaline going for a full season of ridiculous, riveting, and rarely-told history.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or can’t tell a field goal from a foul ball, trust us: you’ve never heard college sports history quite like this.
