I wish I had the opportunity to read a new artical by Mr. West every day. What a relief from what is being written today by the current media. I remember the "weight room" from the late 50s very well. It was about a 30 X 30 foot room with a couple of benches, one squatting station, and a few dumb-bells. I remember one day, Doug Atkins and Jack Stroud came into the room during the Summer to workout between their NFL seasons. Atkins was playing for the Bears and Stroud was playing for the Giants. The room was so small with the little equipment it containe, that the two of them almost filled the entire room. At that time, those were two of the largest humans I had ever see. Today, not many players are no larger than Atkins was in the late 50s. My how S&C ahs chanhed in the last 50 years. Thanks Mr. West for your articles. I miss not seeing them more often. A devoted fan.
The dead period ended and late recruiting scrambles intensified. Tennessee spent time and money to seek the services of a youthful Chattanooga con man, a secret Auburn signee.
That’s probably the only place we would beat them, in attendance"Penn State-Memphis attracted the smallest Dallas crowd in 31 years."
LULZ what a surprise. Memphis State football attendance.
AMEN to all the above. Marvin West is always a treat to read.I wish I had the opportunity to read a new artical by Mr. West every day.
