Semi Pro Tapestries
Main Tag:
Description: The San Jose Tigers were a semi-pro football juggernaut of the late 1970’s. The team formed in 1977 and immediately steamrolled the rest of the rag-tag California Football League. With former San Jose State quarterback Craig Kimball at the controls of the offense, as he would be throughout the team’s existence, enjoyed a perfect 13-0 run en route the league title. The only blemish on San Jose’s record was a 28-27 home loss to the Pierce County Bengals from Tacoma, Washington in a postseason regional championship game dubbed “Holiday Bowl I”. Pro Football Weekly ranked the Tigers #2 in its national ranking of minor league football teams for 1977.
