    Undefeated Since 1951: St. Bonaventure's Lost Saturdays - Part One

    They won their last game. Then football disappeared. Long before the Reilly Center became the heartbeat of St. Bonaventure sports, fall Saturdays belonged to football. A stadium built in 77 days. A coach from Notre Dame. A small school with big dreams. In part one of our two-part season finale, I take you back to the rise and heartbreaking end of Bonaventure football—and the people who made it matter. As a proud Bonnie researching this history for my upcoming book, this story hits close to home. This one is for the Brown and White. Let’s get into it.

    Send in the Clowns: The Baseball Team Buffalo Forgot

    Buffalo once had a championship baseball team with another city’s name. And before Hank Aaron became a legend, he was one of its Clowns. This week on TimeStamped, we’re sending in the Clowns—the Indianapolis Clowns. From their controversial beginnings to their years at Buffalo’s Offermann Stadium, we explore a team whose comedy often overshadowed its extraordinary talent. It’s a story of championships, racial stereotypes, and trailblazers Toni Stone, Connie Morgan, and Mamie Johnson—women who fought for their place in professional baseball. They could make you laugh. They could also play. And their story deserves more than a punchline. Let’s get into it.

    Five: The Team Behind Glory Road

    The movie Glory Road introduced millions to the 1966 Texas Western Miners—but the true story was even more powerful. In the NCAA championship game, coach Don Haskins started five Black players against Adolph Rupp’s top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats. What followed was more than an upset. It became a defining moment in college basketball history. This is the story of the players behind the movie, the difficult road they travelled to reach that night, and the team whose victory helped change the sport forever. This is Five.

    CCNY: The Team That Won Everything and Then Disappeared

    In March 1950, City College of New York did the impossible: won the NIT and NCAA tournaments in the same season, playing all seven games at Madison Square Garden. Less than a year later, players from that championship team were arrested in a point-shaving scandal. The titles stayed in the record books, but the story of CCNY changed forever. This week on TimeStamped, Robert Barbieri tells the story of the New York team that won everything—and how its greatest triumph became inseparable from its fall.

    The Ghost of Medinah | Wednesday Ticket

    In 2012, Europe pulled off the “Miracle at Medinah,” turning a seemingly lost Ryder Cup into one of golf’s greatest comebacks. Now Medinah hosts the Presidents Cup, and International captain Geoff Ogilvy has an unusual connection to the course: his design firm helped rebuild it. This week’s Wednesday Ticket looks at the comeback, the new Medinah, and whether the International Team can make history of its own. Let’s get into it.

    The 80-Yard Game That Changed the NFL

    An indoor arena. An 80-yard field. An NFL championship on the line. In 1932, the Chicago Bears and Portsmouth Spartans needed one more game to settle a championship. But brutal winter weather forced the showdown inside Chicago Stadium—and football had to fit whatever space was available. This week on TimeStamped, Robert Barbieri revisits one of the strangest games in NFL history: the makeshift field, the controversial touchdown, and the changes that helped shape the league we know today. Before the Super Bowl became a spectacle, this championship barely fit inside the building. Let’s get into it.
