in a major sport (football, men's bball, baseball.) BTW, the year was 1939. Just a good offseason thread to provide some perspective. Pearl Harbor (and the rest of WWII) Hiroshima and Nagasaki Korean War The Howdy Doody Show The Beatles (actually they were all born after aggy's last championship) Schools were integrated Cuban Missile Crisis Kennedy was assassinated Nixon resigns Vietnam war Woodstock Hendrix dies Lennon killed Iran Contra 1987 Stock Market crash Gulf war Clinton impeached 9/11 Tate Pittman needs some help Iraq war Please add to this list.
Ah yes, it must be that time of year again. At the time of aggy's last (and only MNC): no color TV (1940) no aerosol spray cans (1941) no turboprop engines (1942) LSD not yet discovered (1943) no aqualung (invented by Cousteau 1943) no renal dialysis (1944) no synthetic cortisone (1944) no transistors (and thus no transistor radios, no computers, no digital anything) no credit cards! (1950) no frisbees (1950) no cake mix (1949) no radial tires (1953) no oral contraceptives (and thus no sexual revolution) no McDonalds (1954) no lasers (1958) no Barbie dolls (1959) no Valium (1961) no acrylic paints (1964, lead-based paints were all the rage when aggy won)

No air-condition la Salle, Desoto, Studabaker, Packard, Hudson, Nash, and Kaiser are some of the automobiles gone since 1939 There were still icemen and milkmen making home deliveries (if one could afford an icebox) Hoover Dam was 3 years old and Golden Gate Bridge only 2 years old. Overalls was proper attire

On August 2, 1939, just before the beginning of World War II, Albert Einstein wrote to then President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Einstein and several other scientists told Roosevelt of efforts in Nazi Germany to purify uranium-235, which could be used to build an atomic bomb. It was shortly thereafter that the United States Government began the serious undertaking known then only as "The Manhattan Project." Simply put, the Manhattan Project was committed to expediting research that would produce a viable atomic bomb. t 5:29:45 (Mountain War Time) on July 16, 1945, in a white blaze that stretched from the basin of the Jemez Mountains in northern New Mexico to the still-dark skies, "The Gadget" ushered in the Atomic Age. The light of the explosion then turned orange as the atomic fireball began shooting upwards at 360 feet per second, reddening and pulsing as it cooled. The characteristic mushroom cloud of radioactive vapor materialized at 30,000 feet. Beneath the cloud, all that remained of the soil at the blast site were fragments of jade green radioactive glass created by the heat of the reaction. The brilliant light from the detonation pierced the early morning skies with such intensity that residents from a faraway neighboring community would swear that the sun came up twice that day. Even more astonishing is that a blind girl saw the flash 120 miles away.
That whole cold war thing. 6 Popes (not counting Pius XI, whose Papacy ended in '39) 11 US Presidents (not counting FDR, who was POTUS at the time) The US added two states. Polio shots hadn't been discovered. Xerox machines didn't exist. Neither did panty hose or ballpoint pens. FM radio didn't exist. Neither did Air Conditioners.
