How much football experience do you have?

[The Tall Gguy]

All world on NCAA Football on PS2 using Purdue mostly

 

[901 Orange]

You ain't wrong. My HS coach described me as follows "I had the size of a WR, dependable hands like a TE, and the speed of an offensive lineman"

Lol

Growing up poor, I never had the money it took to play organized football. I did play a lot of sandlot in my youth though. I also played rugby for 26 years.

Where did you play? I’m an old back row forward.

 

[901 Orange]

That means u run slow

On the bright side u nearly went for triple digits on limited touches

 

[StarRaider]

Well if I told you that the Boys Club teams were sponsored by:

Magic Chef
Brown Stove
Hardwick Stove
and Whites Used Cars

Anyone know what town? (I played for Whites Used Cars LOL).

I played with the Possums (Knoxville) from '80-'84. The rest of my career was with the Augusta Maddogs. Although I could play anywhere, my main positions were flyhalf and fullback.

Wheres the choice of Volnation coach?

The prime Art Reynolds years. Good stuff. I played for the possums briefly in the mid 90’s

Rugby is a mans game. The league I was in had kids with dads that were legends. Guys with no neck and odd shaped ears and square.

 

[ftsandersvol]

You are correct. I have very fond memories of Art and the Possums. Those were some fun times.

I was lucky enough to play in the backs instead of the forwards so I was able to keep my good looks intact. I’ve played with and been hit by many guys who resemble that last remark though.

Backs always keep their hair looking great

 

[The Original Fade]

There are more than 5 former and current NFL players in this group.

I am one of them

As much as I hate to do it, I question the validity of this poll.

I’ll let you in on a little secret...Backs keep a comb in their socks.

The good ones have a whistle too. To assist the sir.

 

[MyVolsDropped]

I have armchair football and coaching experience and didn't see an option so I didn't vote.

TN MVP in Tudor circa 1971. Beat that b!tc...never mind

I’m trying to think of who we might mutually know from the Possums:

Wally Burnett - Flyhalf
Doug Brown - Forward
Tim Chambers - Forward
Oscar ? - Flanker
Wild Man - Forward
Steve Cunningham - Back

I am sure there are more, but my old brain isn’t what it used to be.

Wally, Doug, Tim, and I are childhood buddies.

My plan is to play in the St. Patty’s tournament in Savannah in March. However, I currently have a bad case of plantar fasciitis that is hindering my training. If my foot cooperates and I am able to play, I will be able to say I played in 5 decades. I missed the ‘70s by 5 months.

Apparently I wasn’t trained properly. Note to self: Purchase a whistle before St. Patty’s.

 

[Electric Orange]

That's true.

Seriously though, Madden on the PS probably taught me more than Nick Saban could have.

Came here to say this

 

[scores4fun]

I played a little football in Scotland with St. Mirren Football Club for a brief stint. Oh wrong football!

 

[Probably_in_Class]

There is zero chance we have 21 ex-NFL players here.

I am a girl. Does playing intramural flag football in college or in the backyard with my brothers count?
