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. -
Game Summary
Florida Thwarts East Carolina Comeback To Win Birmingham Bowl, 28-20 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. ---- Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III intercepted an East Carolina pass in the endzone with just over a minute to play, halting a Pirate drive to help preserve a 28-20 victory in the 2015 Birmingham Bowl at Legion Field. The Pirates, who also played in the inaugural Birmingham Bowl in 2006, were driving for potential game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion, when Hargreaves picked off a Shane Carden pass with 1:20 to go. ECU had all of its timeouts remaining, but the Gators, faced with a third-and-four from their 26-yard line, were able to seal the victory when quarterback Jeff Driskel converted a first-down on a run off a bootleg play. Driskel began the season as Florida’s starting signal-caller but was replaced by Treon Harris midsea- son as the offense struggled. After Harris was injured in the third quarter of the Birmingham Bowl, Driskel took over as the Florida quarterback. The Pirates grabbed an early 7-0 lead when Carden connected with wide receiver standout Justin Hardy on a 3-yard touchdown pass with 7:06 left in the opening quarter. Florida tied the game moments later when Brian Poole intercepted a Carden pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown. Just four seconds into the second quarter, Gator running back Adam Lane scored on a 2-yard touch- down run and Florida never trailed again in the game. Lane would finish with 109 rushing yards on 16 carries with one score. -
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. -
