33 | Hank Stram and the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs and Gatorade

Hank Stram is a man with "33" Name Gematria, and a man originating from Chicago, where much "33" comes from.  He is the first coach of the Dallas Texans, which later became the Kansas City Chiefs.  He is also largely credited with introducing Gatorade to professional football as he was a close associate of Ray Graves, the head coach of the Florida Gators when Gatorade was a new product.

• Hank = 8+1+5+2 = 16
• Stram = 1+2+9+1+4 = 17
• Hank Stram = 16+17 = 33

Before the professional game, Hank Stram coached the Purdue Boilmakers football and baseball teams from 1951 to 1955.

• Boilermaker = 2+6+9+3+5+9+4+1+2+5+9  = 55

The name Ray Graves is also curious.

• Ray = 18+1+25 = 44
• Ray = 9+1+7 = 17
• Graves = 7+9+1+4+5+1 = 27
• Ray Graves = 17+27 = 44

In the history of the franchise, they won their first championship in their third season; the year they finished the regular season with an 11-3 record.

The Texans shared the Cotton Bowl with the NFL's cross-town competitionDallas Cowboys for three seasons.^[4] While the team averaged a league-best 24,500 at the Cotton Bowl, the Texans gained less attention due to the league's relatively unknown existence.^[4] In the franchise's first two seasons, the team managed only a 14–14 record.^[7] In their third season, the Texans strolled to an 11–3 record and a berth in the team's first American Football League Championship Game, against the Houston Oilers.^[6][7] The game was broadcast nationally on ABC and the Texans defeated the Oilers 20–17 in double overtime.^[6] The game lasted 77 minutes and 54 seconds, which still stands as the longest championship game in professional football history.^[6]

77 minutes?  Versus the Oilers???

• Oilers = 6+9+3+5+9+1 = 33

In the modern day NFL, the only team with a "33" name is the Seattle Seahawks.

• Seahawks = 1+5+1+8+1+5+11+1 = 33

Also in the modern day NFL, the Houston Oilers are now the Houston Texans.

Anyhow, with regards to that 11 and 3 records, the abbreviation KC is also 11 and 3.

• K = 11th letter
• C = 3rd letter

The names Kansas City and Chiefs both also have a Gematria of 32, much like the word America, and identical to that of Denver and Broncos, major rivals of the Chiefs.

• Kansas City = 2+1+5+1+1+1+3+9+2+7 = 32
• Chiefs = 3+8+9+5+6+1 = 32
• America = 1+4+5+9+9+3+1 = 32
• Denver = 4+5+5+4+5+9 = 32
• Broncos = 2+9+6+5+3+6+1 = 32
• more teams, see NFL Team Gematria post

The Kansas City Chiefs were named on May 26, 1963; a date with a numerology of "32".

• 5/26/1963 = 5+2+6+1+9+6+3 = 32

The Kansas City Chiefs won the last Championship before the first Super Bowl, but have never won the Super Bowl.  The Kansas City Chiefs seem to be linked to the San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots, possibly other teams.  Will they trounce the 49ers as they did the Patriots this coming Sunday?  Time will tell.
