This used to be a thing every year, but hasn’t been done in probably 30 years. It was always very cool.

O.J. Simpson. I wonder is Lincoln Riley will have him on the sidelines any this season.

Enjoyed that, thanks op.

For those of you too young, Ted Hendricks was outstanding. He and Mike Curtis played side by side for the Baltimore Colts at linebacker. Good times for a young kid following the Colts.

You’re welcome.

Thanks OP. One thing I noticed is the size difference in today's players. Some of those linemen are smaller than running backs of today.

I know I'm getting old when #93 popped up in the 2nd video and I immediately knew it was Lee Roy Selmon. That guy was a monster.
Did anyone notice Bob Hope used one of the same jokes in the 1967 and 1975 videos? Check the Bob Johnson intro versus the 1975 group....

I'm getting old when I remember tuning anxiously to his show to watch our VFLs on his show!

Aways looked forward to those as well as the College All Star vs Pro pre season football game played every August.

In the mid 60's our biggest player weighed about 220. Same for most other schools.
