Bruh that's the 1953 National Champions you're talking about. I'm sure a few of the posters here remember that team.
There’s a few of us with mileage, but at the age of one, their 53 championship is hard for me to recall. Lol

Back in the mid 70s my HS buddies and I would play a board game called Bowl Bound, which had charts of some of the historically great college football teams. Teams would have charts with offensive plays on one side and defenses on the other, you would play one side or the other depending who had the ball. You would roll dice and look at the cross reference to get the result of plays. IIRC, there was a chart for the 1951 Maryland team, who were undefeated. They must have had some great teams in the early 50s if they also won the title in 53. I think I still have that game in a box somewhere in my basement. The best chart was 1966 Notre Dame, the defensive chart was all negative numbers. No matter what your opponent rolled when they were on offense, they were always thrown for a loss. Great game if you wanted to play historical match ups like 66 Notre Dame vs 45 Army

I had forgotten all about this football game that I had when I was a kid. Don't know if anyone else had this one. I guess it was called Coaches All-Star Football game.

Director of Football Strategy and Assistant Running Backs Coach? That's a job title with a lot of play in it. It's like being company vice-president and also the assistant night security supervisor.

Had something very similar. Then came the electric football game that vibrated the little plastic players around.

Tell me you're old without telling me you're old! 🤣

Given Riley's lack of success at USC, he could benefit from some strategy.

I have no issues with that. Personally I think he might be one of the more overrated dudes in the business

I think I recall that one of @ACamp1900 hobbies is painting those little football players and having a game.
Yep,... I have custom interchangeable fields,... 50 plus teams, a working league that goes back to the 70's (my father started it and I continue it). I'm actually at my title game right now,... just been putting it off.

The bases they use now are much better and the tweaking of the prongs etc make it so the players do whatever you want them to do within reason (DE's loop towards the QB, QB's are stable in the pocket or set to scramble.... run backs run straight, safeties cover zones etc,...

Kinda crazy since he’s not exactly lighting it up at Tennessee State, but Loeffler really fucked them on this search

Isn't he? Took them from 2 wins before he got there to finishing last season as conference co-champion and #19 ranking.

Could you do me a favour and start a YouTube channel showing this as I just can’t visualise it well and I think I’d be interested. Or is there a channel I could look up.

Here’s the best base company and their YouTube stuff,… everything from tweaking to gameplay:


This is a good dude in the hobby who breaks everything down and shares tourney play:


I hope these help, I have a bunch of posts somewhere here with pics and videos tho that was done time ago, maybe they aren’t working anymore.


I hope this helps??? Let me know if there’s any specific questions
