Episode 18

Dana Auguster (Historically Speaking)

Football Is Family is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Your Favorite Sport's Yesteryear.

When you look back on the history of sports, you notice that there are certain events that have a lasting impact, not just on sports, but also on society. Those events are remembered and talked about for years to come. Those events are the ones that you will tell your grandchildren about.

         Not only are there events that change the history of sport, but there are also people who change the history of sports. People who maybe destroyed an unspoken rule, or fought to make it possible for others to enjoy freedom that they themselves might not ever see.

         Today’s guest for the Football is Family podcast is a firm believer that the history of sports is not only important, but also explains everyday life as well. This was a great interview- I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it.

Growing up in Middle Tennessee, I didn’t have a pro football team that was close enough to me to feel a part of. My first memory of pro football was Super
Bowl 22. I picked the Broncos to win, and, even though they didn’t win, I followed them from that point on.

John Elway was (and is) my favorite player. I have played as the Broncos on Tecmo Bowl, Tecmo Bowl Super Bowl, Madden, and 2K Sports. I fondly remember the moments when the Broncos won Super Bowls 32 and 33.

Around this time, the Oilers came to Tennessee. I was hooked. I finally had a team just down the road from my home town of Bon Aqua. Oiler (and later Titans) mania hit this area. Jerseys, hats, footballs, merchandise, and several autographs later, I’m a Titans fan through and through.
It’s the dedication, the love, and the passion for football that helps me realize that football is family. Each fan base has a story, a history, and a love for their team. That’s what I want to talk about each and every podcast.
