@@DennisHurst-f2q I was fortunate enough to be raised by my grandma and him then when he started getting sick when I was around 16 I took care of him wouldn't change any of it
Cool, I hope you got to spend a lot of time with him. He was huge for his time period and I remember those old Lions teams. My own grandfather was my best buddy growing up, but he wasn’t anywhere near your grandfather’s size. Everyone in my family’s small until my brother, myself and sister were born. My sister is 6 foot and my brother and I were over 6-5 pushing 6-6. Funny how genes are
My family had taken a vacation (we lived in Bethesda, MD) to the Chicago area. My dad took me to this game and for a 13 yo it was great. Although turned out to be a runaway. Thanks Dad!
I'm a Tom Landry-era Dallas Cowboys fan, since 1963. My team of course hadn't been formed yet, but there are several players here that eventually became Cowboys. What a great QB Johnny Unitas was....the GOAT. God bless our pro football players from a by-gone era 🏈
You can have the newbies. I'll take Johnny U., the prototype of the modern QB who changed the game like no one at the position before or since. What a treat to watch him weave his magic! #GOAT
This Baltimore team was very special. At every position on the field. You simply couldn't fake it during this period. It was a much smaller league and everybody had talent
These games were great - loved those college uniforms. It was always the first game of the year even before the preseason started and the teams played to win something nowadays would never happen
My brother and I would go to the college all star practice at northwestern practice field back in the day it was fun Otto Graham was the coach and we met Bernie davis.
This is the only ABC radio broadcast I know. Does anyone have more ABC radio broadcasts from the AFL, College Football, or the College All-Star Game. Unlike NBC Radio, many people did not preserve ABC's radio broadcast>
My first professional in person football game was at the LA Coliseum in December of 1959. The Colts killed the Rams that day. I recently found the highlights of that game on RUclips. When my dad and I returned home we found an empty house. My stepmother used our absence as an opportunity to move out. All that was left were me and my dad's clothes and a few pieces of furniture.
All of these old All Star Game films show just how really bad the lighting was at Soldier Field. It was so poor the game was telecast in black and white for years because the lighting couldn't support color video at the time. The broadaster even ran a banner on the screen advising viewers not to adjust their television sets.
It's amazing what a stupid idea this was: to allow college football players to not only play grown ass men, but the reigning world champions. I remember they finally stopped this series in the '70's when serious weight training among professional teams made the physical gulf even greater between amateur and pro.
It wasn't that stupid throughout its early period in the 30's and 40's and to some degree, into the 50's. In the 30's many of the best players in college did NOT go into the NFL whose teams were often fighting off financial problems. Same with the 40's. Even in the 50's there wasn't as much of a gulf as there is today. In the 60's and 70's most guys still had off-season jobs. A few players like Ernie Ladd, for example, made more money in pro wrestling than playing football. So, yes, in 70s this idea became obsolete, but it wasn't so foolish in the first few decades of its existence.
This was one of the least talented College All-Star teams, especially at the skill positions. Only about a dozen players or so made a dent in the NFL -- Baker, Dowler, Dove, James, Morrison, Petitbon, Pietrosante, Schafrath, Stacy , Wetoska, Williams, Wooten . . .
My grandpa was #88 Sam Williams for the college all stars
Sam Williams was on one of the best D lines in NFL history with Darras McCord, Alex Karras and Roger Brown.
That’s is so cool ! Thanks for sharing that , totally cool 😎 ❤ I’m going to google him

I was a Cowboy fan then, too. Hate them now, but I loved Landry and the Cowboys

Yeah

Old school names for the Colts Johnny U,Art Donovan,Ameche,Ray Berry,Carl Taseff, Hendrix,,etc, Wow !

Thanks for showing this i l love it i watched the very last one Pittsburgh Steelers as kid
This Baltimore team was very special. At every position on the field. You simply couldn't fake it during this period. It was a much smaller league and everybody had talent
Wow What a memory! I was in 6th grade
I was in the 7th Colt fan till the left Baltimore in the dark of night. Washington and Steelers now
I was only 7 years old. Don't really remember seeing one of these games ' till I was 10. Green Bay Packers.

I remember Lee Grosscup. Never had much of a pro career, but did a long stint as a broadcaster.
Thank you for uploading

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
AWESOME...It was a pleasure to SUBSCRIBE...
Awesome! Thanks John!
A Vince Lombardi coached team once lost to a college all-star team.
Awesome footage. Thanks for sharing the game. The All Stars seemed to lack a ton of talent at most important positions.
Johnny U. Poetry in motion when he threw.
It was around this time that the professional game started to get better than the college game.

When did they stop playing these games?
1976

How many of these all stars went on to play in the NFL? Looks like they are afraid to catch the ball

Dallas Cowboys ripped off the college all stars uniforms!
Ha. I thought the same thing.
