To be more clear, what I meant was that as soon as they were able to field their first football team, they couldn't wait to announce it and combined their announcement of the team and their goal of beating South Carolina practically into the same sentence if not the same sentence. They said in their announcement that their first goal was to beat South Carolina. I didn't say it. They did. BTW they lost the first game.

The History of Microphones

Audio recordings do exist from the 1890s and even earlier:
