Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003
Big 12 Conference Schools Raise Nine-Year NFL Draft Totals to 277 Alumni Through 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Apr. 26, 2003 DALLAS—Big 12 Conference teams had 10 of the first 62 selections in the 35th annual NFL “common” draft (67th overall) Saturday and added a total of 13 for the opening day. The first-day tallies in the 2003 NFL draft brought the number Big 12 standouts taken from 1995-03 to 277. Over 90 Big 12 alumni signed free agent contracts after the 2000-02 drafts, and three of the first 13 standouts (six total in the first round) in the 2003 draft were Kansas State CB Terence Newman (fifth draftee), Oklahoma State DE Kevin Williams (ninth) Texas A&M DT Ty Warren (13th). Last year three Big 12 standouts were selected in the top eight choices (four of the initial 21), and the 2000 draft included three alumni from this conference in the first 20. Colorado, Nebraska and Florida State paced all schools nationally in the 1995-97 era with 21 NFL draft choices apiece. Eleven Big 12 schools also had at least one youngster chosen in the eight-round draft during 1998. Over the last six (1998-03) NFL postings, there were 73 Big 12 Conference selections among the Top 100. There were 217 Big 12 schools’ grid representatives on 2002 NFL opening day rosters from all 12 members after 297 standouts from league members in ’02 entered NFL training camps—both all-time highs for the league. Nebraska (35 alumni) was third among all Division I-A schools in 2002 opening day roster men in the highest professional football configuration while Texas A&M (30) was among the Top Six in total NFL alumni last autumn. -
Rote & Blanda: Tale of 2
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 16, No. 3 (1994) ROTE & BLANDA: TALE OF 2 QBS Birth of the AFL in 1960 changed the course of two careers By Bob Gill Any reasonably attentive sports fan is aware that chance can play a significant role in a player's career. An injury can give a backup his big break, while bringing a veteran's career to a premature end. A star's ill-timed holdout can be another player's ticket to fame and fortune. And so on - it happens every season. Usually, breaks like these benefit rookies or younger players who haven't had a chance at a regular job. But one of the most interesting "right-place-at-the-right-time" stories involves a pair of ten-year veterans whose places in football history were determined after their NFL careers ended. It happened in the 1960s, and the players involved were a couple of pretty fair quarterbacks: George Blanda and Tobin Rote. But let's start at the beginning ... Blanda broke in with the Bears in 1949, but the 12th-round draft choice saw little action behind Johnny Lujack and aging Sid Luckman. He played even less at QB for the next two years, throwing only one pass and spending most of his time as a linebacker and kicker. Meanwhile, Rote had been taken by the Packers in the second round of the 1950 draft and suffered through a tough rookie season, throwing a league-high 24 interceptions. Facing a challenge from a talented passer named Bobby Thomason in 1951, he improved his passing stats and really shone as a runner, leading the team with 523 yards and leading the league with an average of 6.9 yards per carry. -

APBA 1960 Football Season Card Set The following players comprise the 1960 season APBA Football Player Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble.

Fantastic Finishes Three Weeks with the 1960 New York Titans
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 21, No. 1 (1999) Fantastic Finishes Three Weeks with the 1960 New York Titans By William J. Ryczek When the AFL commenced operations in 1960, it was difficult to predict the performance of each team. The clubs had no track record, they ran hundreds of prospects through their training camps, and many players they were depending on had little or no professional experience. Prior to the start of the season, Sports Illustrated ranked the Chargers, Oilers and Patriots as the three best teams in the league, based upon their performances during the exhibition season. The Broncos and Titans were judged the weakest. Denver not only played bad, they looked bad, sporting hideous socks with broad vertical stripes. The stockings were so unattractive that Joe Pagliei, a fullback who wound up with the Titans, refused to negotiate with Denver after he saw their uniforms. “I didn’t like the way Denver’s socks looked,” he recalled. “They looked like hell. I said, ‘I’ve got big legs, they won’t look good on me.’” The Broncos lost all of their exhibition games, one to the Patriots by a 43-6 margin, and were outscored 200-53 overall. Boston was therefore established as a 16 point favorite when they played Denver in the new league’s first game on September 9. The underdog Broncos surprised everyone by taking the lead on a 76 yard punt return by Gene Mingo and a 59 yard screen pass and run from quarterback Frank Tripucka to Al Carmichael. The defense thwarted a late Patriot rally and Denver held on for a 13-10 upset win. -
