Loved it. Why cannot the imoji be a Hookem Sign?? We are on a Longhorn Board and I just cannot use the thumbs up imoji.
He won Natl Championships and sent a lotta guys to the NFL Rugby Tackling! I think them Lineman gloves keep them from getting a good hold on the runner...Gloves on a wide receiver , does that mean ya can't catch barehanded/ Shit! Even the Waterpeople and trainers wear gloves nowdays...except for Mr Tom!

Lol, you realize Ash did the same thing this century, in the last 5 years using rugby tackling. You do realize that the football DKR coached in the 60's is no where close to todays game. Kids today are bigger, stronger, and much faster. Today's offenses are much more complex as are defenses. Most important is that rules of the game have changed so much that most people from back then wouldn't recognize it.
What you have to realize is that Rugby players don't wear pads and thus tackling is designed to be both effective and safe to the tackler. For football, it also prevents targeting and neck and head injuries.
No way in hell a team from the 60’s is beating any top 25 team from nowadays. Athletes are bigger, stronger and faster nowadays.Well, there is a million excises for not winning a game, football was tougher back then than it is now, a few teams from back then would whip the shit outa some today..in fact the SWC was tougher than Big 12 today, maybe being less complex and doing your job on the field is better than complex? You can't replace HEART!

You maybe right! But, then again you haven't seen what I have since the 50's In Longhorn FB....I do tell ya one thing, most of the players were more interested in Graduating then going to NFL....

You may be right....may....be..
I have to say that I wish to hell there was a time machine, because a 225 LB Tommy Nobis would still be the best line backer in college football today. Earl Campbell ( damn!....he was from the 70's) would still run wild today.
Lombardi may have been one of the best coaches ever and he said....football is 2 things....blocking and tackling! You do that better than the other team and you win!
He also said...."take away their hope early" you do that and you win

"It isn't what he eats or totes off, but what he falls into and messes up."
Most teams back then wouldn't be able to beat teams today. However, there are select players that could absolutely play today. Nobis and Campbell are two of them. Both were absolute freaks.
