Seth Mallios produces 490-page book about Aztecs' 100 seasons on the gridiron; project features hundreds of sports photographer Ernie Anderson's shots
Author Seth Mallios has a book signing Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Warwick’s in La Jolla. He will be joined at the event by John David Wicker, SDSU’s director of athletics.
Inheriting a team that went 1-6-1 in 1960, Coryell went 104–19–2 over the next 12 seasons. He was an offensive innovator who put SDSU on the map before leaving for the NFL’s St. Louis Cardinals. “She said she named her guinea pig Timmy Delaney because she had a big crush on Tim,” Mallios said. “To talk to Tim about that, he didn’t know about the guinea pig. Those sorts of stories are just precious.”He pored through hundreds of newspaper stories as well as yearbook and university archives to gather information and historical photos. He also weaves in stories shared in interviews with dozens of former players, coaches and longtime fans.
In 2017, Rashaad Penny finished fifth in the Heisman voting, was a consensus First-Team All-American, the MWC Offensive Player of the Year, the MWC Special Teams Player of the Year, and the team MVP; he also led the nation in all-purpose yards.— though Mallios touches on the loose origins of the game on campus that date back to a San Diego Union story from Dec. 17, 1899.
According to the book, the school’s “casualty rate was far higher than the national average because so many of its soldiers were pilots.”Somehow, the Aztecs cobbled together a team in 1942. They went 0-6-1. The 1943 and 1944 seasons were canceled because of the war.“He won a couple of conference titles, in 1936 and 1937,” Mallios said, “and there’s this photo of him where he’s got a great look of satisfaction on his face right after winning his second crown.
Just below the headline is another that reads, “Russia Reveals Huge Submarine, Naval Air Force” as well as one that says, “Nazi-Japan Pact Hit as War Move.” There were more downs than ups over the three decades that followed Gilbert’s 1980 firing, though a Holiday Bowl berth under Denny Stolz in 1986 and the Marshall Faulk era from 1991-93 certainly stand out.
• A pair of photos from the 1968 season, one of the SDSU defense getting after San Jose State that is more notable now because it includes two Aztecs defenders — Carl Weathers and Fred Dryer — who would make names for themselves in Hollywood.
