The game has changed a bit. I think 1970-2000 were the peak years of the sport.

People showing up and cheering for their team made up of students from their school. No transfer portal or NIL but fighting and cheering for the home team.

Mike Shula would have thrived with his run up the gut offense.

It appears you didnt have to be set on the line as a gunner on a punt either.

It was all about the shoulder pads and neck rolls.
