ESPN College Football Final Helmet Sticker Presentation

Prep football helmet stickers from Week Seven

The Eastern Athletic League North race is wide open and any of the four teams can win it. Three teams - Enterprise, Foothill and Shasta - all have 1-1 records while Chico is 1-0 but still has to play Foothill and Shasta and rival Pleasant Valley. There are plenty of games to be played still and the EAL North gauntlet will shake up the D-I playoff picture so much that none of the teams might get the No. 2 seed.

My hat off to Foothill for rebounding from a close loss to Enterprise and pulling out a tough road win against a very underrated Shasta team. The Cougars didn't commit any turnovers after tallying five the game before and was aggressive through the air with four touchdown passes, all over 21 yards.

Stickers for Selflessness: Leading the Charge Against Hero-Ball

Mossop’s story shared the science behind college-football helmet stickers, citing a Public Library of Science (PLoS) study on how competition for trophies triggers generosity in males. Back in the sixties, Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes introduced the now-unmistakable silver helmets with a new policy: small buckeye leaf stickers would be rewarded for those slept-on little plays that helped the team win a game, like sealing the key linebacker on a touchdown run.

Those coin-sized stickers became Ohio State icons; the buckeye leaf is trademarked.

“What seemed like a simple nod of recognition has now become a time-honored tradition,” Mossop wrote. “In all, 22 Division I FBS teams currently use helmet-sticker rewards. Yet these decorations are much more than small tokens of thanks. They embody a rite of passage, with a player’s status among his teammates measured by how heavily adorned in stickers his helmet becomes during the course of a season.
