I remember when

[jeffreff]

1. Metal pylons (spring-loaded) driven into the ground with flags on top
2. Head slaps taught as blocking/defensive techniques
3. Helmet shells with foam ear pads ONLY that rarely stayed snapped in place
4. Playing in threatening weather conditions unheard of today
5. Salt tabs, toe punchers, and stick-um

[El Macman]

I have come to the conclusion that El Macman's first crewmates were the Twelve Apostles.....

I had a chance to meet Moses, but my jv gladiator match went into extra periods, and my chariot had a bad wheel, so i missed him. But i got to work the Olympiad that year, so it's all good.

We used the spray stickum where you clapped your hands together, atomic balm, the mouth pieces in the boiling water and biting down while it was still soft and admiring those white helmets when you made a good hit and it left some paint . Those were the days!!!!!

Nitrotan on jock itch, tough skin to prevent blisters, the smell of laquer in the classroom where my father put the fresh coat of it on the leather pads

[Chester]

As a high school football player back in the day, I remember going to "Dances" after the games at the Rec Center.  That's absolutely unheard of these days.

Every block in the back was called clipping.  They changed that in FED about 10-11 years ago??

I played HS football with my mouth piece stuck in the top of my sock and I never wore a tail pad.

... offensive pass interference in the EZ was a touchback

I played HS football with my mouth piece stuck in the top of my sock and I never wore a tail pad.

That explains a few things!

I remember when officials wore
