Massillon vs. McK - Throwback (Large)

Timeless Rivals is a documentary film that chronicles the 120 year plus history of football’s greatest rivalry between the Massillon Tigers and the Canton McKinley Bulldogs. They have been playing since 1894. In that century and a quarter, many notable players, coaches and innovations have emerged.

The tag line is: Professional Roots. College Heroes. The Prep Battle that Shaped Football. These two schools have greatly impacted the modern game. It would not be the same without them. Two pro football hall of famers and ten college hall of famers have participated in the storied rivalry. Fourteen Super Bowl rings have been accumulated between Tiger and Bulldog players. Five McKinley or Massillon graduates have become NFL head coaches. In short, we export football.

The Timeless Rivals crew interviewed close to 50 players, coaches and fans. They will tell the tale of the games, the stories, the anecdotes that have shaped the rivalry and how the rivalry has, in turn, shaped football on all levels. If you played in this game, coached in this game or rooted for one of these teams, you are part of football history. We invite you to witness this great story.
