  • Are You Ready for Some Super-Senior Football?
    Oldest living players Are you ready for some super-senior football? Starting East team quarterback Ace Parker (Information was current as of May 2013 when article appeared in Sports Collectors Digest magazine) By George Vrechek Can you imagine a tackle football game featuring the oldest living NFL players with some of the guys in their 90s? Well to tell the truth, I can’t really imagine it either. However that doesn’t stop me from fantasizing about the possibility of a super-senior all-star game featuring players who appeared on football cards. After SCD featured my articles earlier this year about the (remote) possibility of a game involving the oldest living baseball players, you knew it wouldn’t be long before you read about the possibility of a super-senior football game. Old-timers have been coming back to baseball parks for years to make cameo appearances. Walter Johnson pitched against Babe Ruth long after both had retired. My earlier articles proposed the possibility of getting the oldest baseball players (ranging in age from 88 to 101) back for one more game. While not very likely, it is at least conceivable. Getting the oldest old-timers back for a game of tackle football, on the other hand, isn’t very likely. We can probably think about a touch game, but the players would properly insist that touch is not the same game. If the game were played as touch football, the plethora of linemen would have to entertain one another, while the players in the skill positions got to run around and get all the attention, sort of like it is now in the NFL, except the linemen are knocking themselves silly.

  • The Oldest Living Heisman Winners and Their Cards
    The Oldest Living Heisman Winners and their Cards By George Vrechek There are approximately 1.1 million students playing high school football in the U.S. It is estimated that 67,000 play football at all college levels. There are 120 Football Bowl Subdivision schools offering 85 scholarships each to 10,200 players. Each year one college player receives the Heisman Trophy. Of the Heisman Trophy winners prior to 1955, two of them are still alive. I was fortunate to talk to both of them about their careers, cards, and memorabilia. Johnny Lujack, Heisman ‘47 Johnny Lujack was on the cover of national magazines, signed a lucrative pro contract, and was featured on numerous cards despite playing before the boom days of card collecting and only playing professionally for four years. Lujack (89) played for Notre Dame in 1943, served in the Navy in 1944 and 1945 (V-12 Program), and returned to Notre Dame for 1946 and 1947. He was drafted #4 overall in the 1946 NFL draft and played for the Chicago Bears from 1948 to 1951. He was athletic, smart, and handsome. At Connellsville High School, south of Pittsburgh, Lujack lettered in three sports, was elected class president, and graduated as the valedictorian. Lujack’s Notre Dame teams coached by Frank Leahy went 26-1-1 and won three national AP titles the three years he played varsity football. In 1947 Notre Dame was 9-0, and Lujack passed for 777 yards and ran for 139 yards. (In 2012 Heisman Winner Johnny Manziel passed for 3,706 yards and ran for 1,410 yards.) In the Heisman voting Lujack had 742 votes, Bob Chappius 555, Doak Walker 196, and Charley Conerly 186.

    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 28, No. 2 (2006) WHEN HAVING A BETTER RECORD DIDN'T MEAN HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE, Part Two By Andy Piascik With the NFL-AFL merger in 1966 and the advent of the Super Bowl, pro football's postseason began to grow larger. Neither the NFL or AFL addressed the long-standing problem of how better to determine the home team in their respective Championship Games, however. In fact, almost another decade would go by until necessary changes were made. Instead, both leagues continued with the rotation system that had ruled pro football's postseason since 1933. And as happened so many times previously, the teams that finished with the best regular season record in both leagues in 1966, the Packers and the Chiefs, had to go on the road in the title games. Bucking the odds clearly established over the previous 33 years, both won. Even when the NFL realigned in 1967 and enlarged the playoffs, the same system was left intact. Again, evidence that something was amiss was immediately apparent. That year, the Rams finished 11-1-2 and won the Coastal Division of the Western Conference on the basis of a head to head tie-breaker over the Colts, who also finished 11-1-2. In the West's Central Division, meanwhile, the Packers finished first at 9-4-1. Despite their superior record and even though they had beaten Green Bay in their regular season meeting, the Rams had to travel to Wisconsin to play the Western Conference Championship Game. After beating the Packers two weeks earlier in Los Angeles, the Rams lost and went home while the Packers went on to win the Super Bowl.

By John Shearer About four years ago, I wrote a story about the jersey numbers that the Heisman Trophy winners have worn. I decided to write the article after noticing that 2011 Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III of Baylor wore No. 10, and I began wondering which other Heisman Trophy winners wore that number. That started an online search, and I was able to find everyone’s number, or at least a number the player wore during part of his career. I wrote the story in chronological order by year and mentioned the jersey number with each player, but someone emailed me and said he would like to see a story if I ever listed the Heisman Trophy winners in numerical order. After I thought about it, an article written that way would make for a more The College Football Historian-2 - interesting story.

  • Mini-Bio: George Ratterman
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 17, No. 4 (1995) MINI-BIO: GEORGE RATTERMAN By Bob Carroll George Ratterman's football career was an exciting though ultimately disappointing roller coaster. At Notre Dame in the 1940s, he was virtually unknown as he rode the bench behind Johnny Lujack, college football's top QB. His ability was finally recognized when he led the College All-Stars to a surprise win over the NFL Chicago Bears in 1947. Then for three years, his play kept the Buffalo Bills one of the better teams of the All- America Football Conference. In three seasons, he threw 52 touchdown passes, but he also establushed the AAFC career mark with 55 interceptions. Although Otto Graham and Frankie Albert were the most famous AAFC quarterbacks, Ratterman took the Bills to the league's championship game in 1948. After the AAFC and NFL merged, "The Kid" joined the New York Yanks. His passing and gambling play selection turned them into one of the league's best offensive clubs. Ratterman's high-risk philosophy was evident in his league-leading 22 touchdown passes and league-leading 24 interceptions. In 1951, he jumped to the Canadian Football League. Midway through the season, he returned to the Yanks, but by then it was too late to salvage the team which won only one game and went bankrupt. He was traded to Cleveland and once more found himself on the bench, this time as backup to Otto Graham. Coach Paul Brown often praised Ratterman for keeping an exemplary playbook, but for five years Graham ran the plays in games.
