  • NORM SCHACHTER in SUPER BOWL V the Official Version
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 2 (2004) Super Bowl V is remembered as the “Blunder Bowl”. The Colts beat the Cowboys 16-13 with five seconds to play, in a game filled with turnovers, miscues and costly penalties. Some NFL legends at that game – Bubba Smith, Herb Adderley, Johnny Unitas – need no introduction. There was a third team on the field that day, with NFL greats like Schachter, Marion, Graf, Fette – guys with a combined 15 Super Bowl appearances. This is their story … NORM SCHACHTER IN SUPER BOWL V The Official Version By Mark L. Ford Norm Schachter had made it to his second Super Bowl. He and five other outstanding pros had gone to Miami because they were the best of the 1970 season. They were the officiating crew, and Schachter was the NFL’s best referee that year. The mistakes of Baltimore and Dallas that day were legendary, but the “third team” was nearly flawless. “You have to be perfect the first game, then get better in every game the following weeks,” Schachter wrote in his 1981 autobiography, Close Calls. While the Colts and Cowboys were beset by one mistake after another, the Zebras could not afford to be wrong even once, especially not in the Super Bowl. The NFL didn’t release the names of the officials until the week of the game. The crew was one of the best assembled for a championship: #56 NORM SCHACHTER, Referee #22 PAUL TREPINSKI, Umpire #26 ED MARION, Head Linesman #39 JACK FETTE, Line Judge #34 FRITZ GRAF, Field Judge #70 SONNY GAMBER, Back Judge Schachter and his five teammates assembled at midfield with the captains from Dallas and Baltimore.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

  • Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996)
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 18, No. 1 (1996) THE TEN BEST SUPER BOWLS By Bob Carroll Courtesy of Total Sports It's an article of faith among the jaded that the least interesting football game all season is the Super Bowl. Small wonder. The whole season has pointed toward this single meeting. By kickoff, enough hype has been expended to elect three Presidents, introduce your state's latest Lotto game, and launch a new version of Windows. That the game's actual blocking, tackling, and kicking will prove a letdown is as likely as Liz's next marriage not being her last. The jaded can cite a goodly number of blow-outs as evidence that the Roman-numeraled game sucks, but blow-outs have occurred in championship games since long before anyone thought of modifying Bowl with the S-word. That 73-0 lesson the Bears taught the Redskins in 1940 -- still the most one-sided NFL score ever -- was for the championship. In reality, it's probably surprising that so many Super Bowls have been worth watching. How many? Well, certainly one out of three. And with Number XXX in the till, that means at least ten. Of course, "worth watching" can mean different things to different football afficionados. There are Bears fans who loved every last second of XX when the Bruins dismantled the Pitiful Pats 46-10. In Dallas, they were still tuned in to XXVII long after most of us had started surfing USA and Nick at Night for a good re- run. But by Supe Time, most of us have seen our favorite team eliminated in a playoff (or by Week Six if you favor the Jets).
