British Gridiron Football League Playoffs 1988 [Ref: 4]

Report

The British Gridiron Football League was a Fifth Level American Football League in the North and Midlands of England in 1987, after which it absorbed the Capital League and a large number of UKAFL teams to form a Fourth Level League in 1988. In 1989 it merged with the UKAFA to form the British National Gridiron League, playing Levels 5 to 7 below the NDMA (First Level) and Combined Gridiron League (Levels 2 to 4)

Ulsterman Geoff Mackey, who was introduced to the game of American Football while studying at Liverpool Polytechnic, played for the Mersey Centurions in 1988, where he reached the Britbowl, losing 20-13 to the Woking Generals. In 1987 the Mersey Centurions had won the Britbowl 20-16 against the Leicester Huntsmen. His exploits for the Centurions saw him called up to the British and Irish Bulldogs for a five-week tour, taking in training in the United States, and then three Test Matches in Australia, from 4 November 1988 to the middle of December.

Geoff Mackey who played for the Mersey Centurions in 1988 and was called up to the British and Irish Lions for a three Test Tour of Australia that year [Ref: 6]

Report

Pacific Pro League is an intended AAA Professional American Football, which was to begin play in 2020 with teams in four Southern California counties: Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County and San Diego County, where the league is headquartered.

In an era where each new AAA or AA Pro League has a different angle the Pacific Pro said it would employ players straight out of high school, who don’t want or cannot play in college..

Tom Brady’s agent Don Yee teamed up with Jamie Hemann, former President of the NFL Network, and three-time Super Bowl Champion Ed McCaffrey to fill the Pro void between High School and the National Football League.

After the League launches in 2020, the plan is expansion, first by putting four teams on the East coast by 2023, and then by 2025 to have a 12 team league by filling in the middle. The League will play an 8-game schedule during July and August, although the impact of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) may place a block on the league starting in 2020, and there has been no official announcement on the site, which is down, as of 3 May 2020.

NCAA Football Division 1A Bowl Games 1988 [Ref: 1]

*Game acted as National Championship Game (Notre Dame 11-0, #1 and West Virginia 11-0 #3 going into Game)

Report

In the National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Division 1A Championship in 1988, Auburn Tigers (6-1; 10-1) and Louisiana State Tigers (6-1; 8-3) tied for the SEC Southeastern Conference Championship; Clemson Tigers (6-1; 9-2) took the ACC Atlantic Coast Conference; Michigan Wolverines (7-0-1; 8-2-1) won the Big 10 in the Upper Midwest; Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-0; 11-1) were Big Eight Champions in the Prairie States; Arkansas Razorbacks (7-0; 10-1) were SWC Southwestern Conference winners; Wyoming Cowboys (8-0; 11-1) were the Champions of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC); and Southern California Trojans (8-0; 10-1) won the PAC 10 Pacific 10 Conference.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish (11-0) 714 Pts were Voted Number 1 with the College Bowl Games left.

The 1988 College Football Bowl Games in 1988, had Four Big Bowl Games: Cotton, Rose, Sugar and Orange. The Bowl Games participants are selected by the Conferences.

In 1947-48, the Rose Bowl became a Western Universities match-up between the winners of the Pacific Coast (now Pacific 10) and the Big Ten, always held in Pasadena, California. Michigan beat USC (Southern California) 22-14 in the 1988 Rose Bowl.

The Orange Bowl had a tendency at the time to match up the Country’s two best teams, for the unofficial title of “National Champion”. In 1988 Miami beat Nebraska 23-3.

The Cotton Bowl matches the Champions of the Southwest Conference with another top College from across the USA, and in 1988 UCLA (California-Los Angeles) were the invited team, and beat Arkansas 17-3.

The Sugar Bowl, like the Cotton Bowl, matches the Champions of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) with another top College from elsewhere in the United States and in 1988 Florida State (an Independent) beat Auburn (the SEC Champions) 13-7.

The Irish interest, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, from South Bend, Indiana, just outside Chicago, won the Fiesta Bowl, beating West Virginia Mountaineers 34-21. It was a match-up between the Top Ranked team as voted by Press Writers, and the Third Ranked Team, the only two undefeated teams in the Nation (Division 1A). The game was an unofficial National Championship Game, as there were no National Playoffs in Division 1A at the time, with only one Bowl Game for each of the top teams in each Conference. The National Champions were voted for by the Press after the Bowl games at the end of the season.
