Great footage that brings back many memories of how important DU football was to the town. Homecoming parade floats and sunny Saturday afternoons cheering on Big Red were a large part of what made Granville cool. From a “townie’s” point of view, coach Piper was always thought of as a great coach regardless of the wins and loss record. I remember giving up my room in our house and “camping out” in the basement so that DU parents could find a place to stay that was close to campus on parent’s and homecoming weekends. Thanks for surfacing this video.
Thanks Bruce… I never knew that people in the village provided a place to stay for Denison parents on those weekends.
This a is a great piece, and one that will land in the Denison Archives upon completion of this project.

Hey Al,
I don’t know where you got that nickname but it’s stuck in my head.
Thanks for the comment. At some point soon, you will be able to purchase from this site through paypal.
I hope to have books in hand by the end of this calendar year.
Thanks for the support.
All the best.
