I also miss the Doc. I was fortunate enough to meet him about a year before he passed away. I was in England on a business trip and came over a couple days early to get on the vibraturf with the famous Doc.
When I arrived in England, I found out that Doc was in the hospital. So I thought my train ride out to his city would be a hospital visit rather than a scrimmage.
When I arrived at his train station, I called and they let him out of the hospital for a few hours to be able to play some EF. We had a great time. I brought my Badgers and we did some scrimmaging.
I remember his rule set was more along the lines of Anthony's system with multi stops to, as he put it, "read the queues and adjust". He also had a sack rule where the defensive end didn't have to hit the QB, instead if they raced past a certain yard line before the QB turned off the switch, it was a sack.
He was very knowledgeable about football and I remember seeing pictures of him and Bill Cowher in his living room, among other football dignitaries.
We ended the day by going to McDonalds with his lovely wife and beautiful daughter. Then it was back to the hospital for Doc...leaving me with some wonderful memories. Rest in Peace Doc!!
One thing that made me smile was the site below...when looking at naming a baby, the name "Doc Smeby" is listed under famous "Docs" that are no longer with us.
