Featured articlesFront Page Feature The Wikipedia main page featured William Wurtenburg on December 24, 2015. This was an article I originally created on June 16, 2008. Thanks to all Wikipedia editors including @A Texas Historian:, @Jweiss11:, and others who also helped improve it. The article as it exists now looks so much better than what I made. I created the original article on June 16, 2008 as a part of a campaign to complete articles for every head football coach for United States Naval Academy. Coach Wurtenburg was head coach for the 1894 season and led the team to a record of 4 wins, 1 loss, and 2 ties. Their only loss that year was to Pennsylvania who ended the season as undefeated national champions. As you can tell by visiting the article page now, it has been greatly enhanced to include his coaching at Dartmouth and his time as a player at Yale where he was a part of the 1887 National Championship team, finishing with a record of 9 wins and 0 losses. After coaching, he became an official for college football. Around 1904, Wurtenburg began pursuing a career as a physician. He set up a medical office near his house in New Haven, Connecticut, and became an ear, nose and throat specialist where he lived until his death in 1957. It's truly rewarding to see an article that I started end up on the Wikipedia main page! Woo-hoo!!! Media of the DayA video I posted was declared Wikimedia's "Media of the Day" on September 17, 2015. Watch closely as the cheese monger at Whole Foods Market in Overland Park, Kansas cracks open a wheel of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on March 9, 2013 (part of a 2013 world record attempt by Whole Foods Market). I recorded this video on March 9, 2013 and posted it the next day. It was a recording of one location where Whole Foods Market was attempting (and I believe succeeded) in setting a world record for the most number of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese at the same time. They were attempting this feat by using multiple stores and locations across their service footprint. The best part was that we all got to sample!

Previous project proposalCollege Football The College of Emporia Football Team was a college football team at the College of Emporia in Emporia, Kansas. The team competed from 1893 until the college closed in 1972[1] and was known for its high quality play for the size of the school as well as its early adoption of modern football methods. The team was one of the earliest schools to regularly call the forward pass[2] and the option pass[3] under head coach Bill Hargiss and quarterback Arthur Schabinger. The school was using the forward pass as a regular play three years before Knute Rockne and Notre Dame Football.[4] KansasMark R. Treaster is a Democratic former member of the Kansas House of Representatives and businessman. He served the Kansas 104th district from 2004-2008.[5] In 2012, he ran for a seat in the Kansas Senate.[6] While in the state house, he served on the House Transportation Committee.[7] Other fun stuff.JPG) The football team at Oregon Agricultural College was one of the very first schools nationally to use the huddle formation in a game. It happened against the University of Washington in Seattle during the 1918 season. Head coach Bill Hargiss instructed the starters that once they returned to the field, they were to stand 10 yards behind the ball before the beginning of each play and whisper to one another what they were going to do next.[8] An eyewitness to the game was veteran Seattle sports columnist Royal Brougham, whose stories of the contest give testimony today to the program's early use of this pioneering new formation.[9] Others trace the huddle to the 1890s in Gallaudet College.[10] Collaborate...Lt. L. William Caine was the first head college football coach for the University of Texas at Arlington Mavericks located in Arlington, Texas and he held that position for two seasons, from 1919 until 1920. His career coaching record at UT Arlington was 2 wins, 7 losses, and 1 ties. This ranks him 13th at UT Arlington in total wins and 13th at UT Arlington in winning percentage.[11] Selected picture
