Hey everyone, it’s been a while! Today, I want to share something a bit different – a trip down memory lane. I was digging through some old files and found a bunch of stuff about the Bloomsburg vs. West Chester football game from way back in 1982. Man, that feels like a lifetime ago!
First off, I started by looking up some general info about these teams. It seems like Bloomsburg, along with Lock Haven and Mansfield, are all part of this Commonwealth University thing. But they still play sports independently, which is pretty cool.
Then, I found this old 1982 football schedule for West Chester. It clearly showed that they played against Bloomsburg that year, and they won! I guess that’s why there’s not much hype around this game – it was a loss for Bloomsburg. It doesn’t specify the score in 1982, but it does mention a game on November 22, 2011, where Bloomsburg won 35-0, and another on September 28, 2024, where they won 55-42. Those must have been some exciting games!
- Looked up general info about the teams and their affiliation with Commonwealth University.
- Found the 1982 schedule for West Chester, confirming the game against Bloomsburg.
- Realized it was probably a loss for Bloomsburg based on the lack of info.
I tried to find more specific details about the 1982 game, like the score, but that was tough. Most websites just had recent scores and highlights. I did find a mention somewhere that Bloomsburg won some championships years ago, but nothing specific about 1982.
I even checked some sports sites that usually have live scores and game stats. They had stuff for a game between these two teams on September 28, 2024, but that’s in the future! So I guess I’m ahead of the game. Ha!
I also stumbled upon some history about these teams playing each other, dating back to 1925. The last matchup they listed was also that future game in 2024. Looks like I really hit a dead end with 1982.
There was this one article talking about a recent Bloomsburg game. They won 37-27 against Edinboro, and their quarterback, K.J. Riley, apparently did a great job after coming in for someone named Ben Ries. It sounds like they had a good comeback. That’s all cool, but it’s not what I was looking for, sadly.
Trying to find more details about the 1982 game.
- Searched for specific details like the score, but couldn’t find much.
- Found some general championship info for Bloomsburg, but nothing about 1982.
- Checked live score sites, but they only had future game info.
- Found some historical matchup data, but nothing specific about 1982.
- Read about a recent Bloomsburg game, but it wasn’t relevant to my search.
So, yeah, my deep dive into the 1982 Bloomsburg vs. West Chester football game didn’t turn up much. It was fun to look around and see how these teams have been doing over the years, though. It’s crazy how much history is out there if you start digging! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little blast from the past. Let me know if you have any old sports memories you want to share!
This little adventure reminded me of another time when I tried to research something old. It was a lot of work, and sometimes you just hit a wall. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? You never know what you’ll find when you start exploring!
