I was thinking about this earlier today, and I think the number of times these people had probably seen someone they know die from a communicable disease is much higher than today. Our medical advancement has deluded a lot of people into thinking that's the natural way of things, when in actuality dieing from diseases has been the norm for most of human evolution.

This was a Georgia Tech Golden Tornado game at Grant Field in Atlanta.

Georgia Tech was coached by John Heisman, the man who they named the Heisman trophy after.

No cheering, cheerleading or "projection of hats into the air" were allowed at the game.

They beat NC State 128-0.
