St. Bonaventure
I created today 1948 St. Bonaventure Bonnies football team and 1949 St. Bonaventure Bonnies football team. The naming of these articles was initially unclear to me since your List of St. Bonaventure Brown Indians football seasons linked to these seasons as "Brown Indians". I ended up going with "Bonnies" as my searches indicated that was the WP:COMMONNAME in the late 1940s and early 1950s. For exmple, my searches on Newspapers.com during the 1948 football season (i.e., October-November 1948) indicate that both nicknames were used but that "Bonnies" was more common by a factor of approximately five-to-one. Compare this (107 hits) and this (22 hits). Not sure how to deal with this on a broader basis. Thoughts? Cbl62 (talk) 17:06, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * As an example of a broader issue, we need to figure out in Template:St. Bonaventure Bonnies football navbox which teams should be referenced as "Brown and White" (e.g., 1911 St. Bonaventure Brown and White football team) vs. "Brown Indians" vs. "Bonnies". Cbl62 (talk) 17:11, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I compiled the data and came up with a proposal following that data at Talk:St. Bonaventure Brown Indians football. Cbl62 (talk) 18:15, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Canisius football
I am going to do some work on Canisius football, and I see that you built the 1993 to 2002 season articles as well as Template:Canisius Golden Griffins football navbox. If you have any suggestions or cautionary notes, or better yet, if you would be interested in collaborating, let me know. Cbl62 (talk) 18:02, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Getting the ball rolling with 1923 Canisius Golden Griffins football team. Cbl62 (talk) 18:39, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Just off the top of my head, the 1948 team that lost to John Carroll in the Great Lakes Bowl is probably worth an article. Also, the conference championship-winning teams listed here would probably make a pretty good place to start, though, in all fairness, the Little Three was a three-team conference for it's entire existence, so I'm not sure if winning that really counts as some great accomplishment or not. It's going to be pretty tough sledding, given that the two major newspapers that would have covered the team back then, The Buffalo News and the old Buffalo Courier-Express, don't have their newspapers archived online to my knowledge. You're probably going to have to build the articles out with game reports from the opposing team's hometown papers. Ejgreen77 (talk) 23:35, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestions. Buffalo papers are available for early years, but not after the mid-1920s, so it's not easy. Cbl62 (talk) 23:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Buffalo newspapers are available pre-1923. See 1896 Buffalo football team which I was able to fill out fairly easily. Cbl62 (talk) 21:41, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Good to know, thanks!! Ejgreen77 (talk) 10:52, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
