51����

A lot can happen in 100 years – and it has. Since Coach Ray Morrison held his first football practice on the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, marking the birth of the 51���� football program, 51���� has experienced much athletics success.

To celebrate “A Century of 51���� Athletics,” 51���� Athletics will be counting down 100 iconic moments in its history leading up to the first football game of 2014 on August 31 at Baylor.

Be sure to follow 51���� Athletics on social media to relive and revel in these historical moments.  You can also follow the countdown online at 

The celebration will continue throughout the 2014-2015 season and be highlighted in promotional items, in-game features and more!
