I have to reveal the answer because this one has gone too long. To commemorate the state of West Virginia's 100th birthday in 1963, St. Albans' Chuck Kinder, a punter and place kicker for the Mountaineers, became the first and only player in the history of college football to wear the jersey number '100'. Kinder lettered on coach Gene Corum's Mountaineer football teams in 1963 and 1965 and again in 1966 with new coach Jim Carlen. At Carlen's request, Kinder changed his number to '10' for the 1966 season. After college Kinder served in the United States Army, retiring with the rank of Lt. Colonel. In December of 2006, Charles "Chuck" Kinder retired once again, this time as Training Director in the West Virginia State Auditor's Office.   I'll post another trivia question shortly. |
