Old School Time HBCU Football Games

Strictly anecdotal. There are more 300-pounders playing football now than even then. And those players look bigger because pads were bulkier.

Oh for sho' on the bulky pads but they look the part of a great ball player w/ the big pads/half-jerseys. Yeh, today's 300lbers are fat, no strength. Back then, the hay and pulpwood haulers AND rabbit chasers lol were everywhere lol.

Now, I do agree that specialization (read: HS coaches not wanting kids to play multiple sports) has had its drawbacks in both physical and mental development of athletes. I do think nowadays you get a more-polished athlete, but not necessarily a better all-around athlete in a lot of cases.

Not all these linemen fat AF. That's where the big boys kill us. A good bit of their big boys have a little paunch and toss hella weight. Some of ours have dunlap and toss hella 2-pc spicys down.

The most amazing thing I witnessed up close in my old work life was NFL linemen. Essentially dancing bears. And there are more Terron Armsteads floating about nowadays than in 1991.

His big ass will beat both of us to the Cheddar's "Scratch" restaurant to eat up some stuff. smh

That type you'd want is a gem though. Would be nice. For once. lol
 
I don’t know why BET doesn’t upload these old games on their app or online? They own the rights, correct?

from what I've been told like for some old cartoons there may have been 3rd party content in those games the station doesn't want to air to avoid paying out. If you have kids, you see the show Muppet Babies redid on Nickelodeon (I think). The original one that came on Saturdays had Star Wars footage and other old movies they would run and that's the reason it wont air cause you got to get a license or something like that.

In BET's case, they would own the rights but do they even have the footage or with the CBS acquisition did they sell it to them? They've never came out and even answered that question.

Looking at all the free time now, ESPN doesn't even unload their full library for whatever reason as they had exclusive deals with MEAC and SWAC back in 1994 when ESPN2 launched and 2005 when ESPNU came on.

That athletic 285- to 300-pounder gets snatched up fast. We gotta beat Group of Fives off of them with two sticks and a cattle prod.

Exactly. THAT is where I see them at. Us? Lard, physically weak, no technique (overall). There are gems here and there but still, the overall quality just isn't there anymore.

Now THIS game was a classic. FAMU pulled out a hard fought 59-58 victory in 6 OTs...that’s one game I’ll never forget.

Tell me what is your process. Are you asking to send VHS(s) and returning them or asking to donate?

I ask for them to be sent. I put them up and burn you a copy on DVD if you like and return them to you. I only keep them if you do not want them back. Other wise, I return them.
