The Blanket Bowl Bridge

Seven seasons that bent from slow starts into bowl titles and carried Greenbrier toward 1976.

Seven retained seasons

38–35 · 1,290–1,293 · 12 shutout wins

The 1969–75 corridor sits almost perfectly level on the scoreboard, but its shape is dramatic: two slow-start recoveries, a two-win low, back-to-back Blanket Bowl championships and Jerry Pearson’s return.

30–22 in the game history, 32–22 in the register

The five indexed seasons total 30 wins and 22 losses, 1,072 points scored and 880 allowed. Greenbrier’s coaching register prints 32–22. No two missing wins have been located, so both summaries stay labeled.

The turnarounds

Three seasons refused their opening record

The 1969 team started 0–3 and finished 6–4. The 1973 team started 0–3 and reached 5–5. The 1975 team started 0–5 and won four of its final five.

Source discipline

The difficult lines stay visible

The 1971 Blanket Bowl final is indexed 16–12 because three supporting records agree, while the rendered school score page prints 14–12. Other seasons contain score and opponent-name differences that remain attached rather than silently erased.
