Echoes of the Gridiron: 1946 Army vs. Notre Dame
2026/08/06
Gridiron America is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear. EPISODE SUMMARY In this episode, we time travel back to November 9, 1946, in the first of our planned public domain time capsule episodes, and put the listener in front of their old school AM radio, as number one ranked Army takes on number two ranked Notre Dame, in a classic game of gridiron trench warfare, at Yankee Stadium, in front of a packed house of 74,121. Going into this match up, both teams were undefeated, and averaged over 30 points a game going into the game. Army had a 25-game winning streak, last losing to Notre Dame in 1943 (26–0), but had won the last two contests between the schools by scores of 59–0 and 48–0. Army had the defending Heisman Trophy winner, Doc Blanchard, also known as "Mr. Inside", the man who would win it that year, Glenn Davis, also known as "Mr. Outside", and one of the nation's top quarterbacks in Arnold Tucker. Notre Dame had the quarterback who would win the Heisman the next year, Johnny Lujack, and end Leon Hart of Notre Dame won the Heisman in 1949 (the only time ever that a college football game had four Heisman Trophy winners). Lujack, along with several other teammates and coach Frank Leahy, had returned to the team for the 1946 season after serving in World War II. Both Tucker and Lujack were also outstanding defensive backs at a time when football players, college as well as professional, usually played both offense and defense.

The Odyssey of Gridiron Football in Japan
2026/07/22
Gridiron America Radio is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear. EPISODE SUMMARY From the Gridiron Japan Radio archives comes a replay of The Football Odyssey's excellent history lesson, narrated by Aaron Harris, on the history of American football in Japan. Which begs the question, when might Gridiron Japan ever return to the airwaves? Honestly, we don't know. Possibly in a mini segment, but since right now here at Gridiron America Radio (which owns the rights to Gridiron Japan), we don’t have a dedicated team within Japan to cover the game. Therefore, we’d just like to share with you the inspiration that prompted us to create that podcast, which at the time was the only English show that exclusively covered the gridiron game in Japan. Aron Harris is one of the best football podcasters in the business as he approaches his interviews and episodes as if they were an NFL Films short film or NPR segment, which is what he did for this, one of his first episodes, in 2021. In sum, the Football Odyssey is a human interest podcast that covers the beautiful sport that is, American football.
