Playing days at Notre Dame

That second pic (B&W) would make a good EF figure!

I see you had knee braces on both(?) knees? I remember those braces, had one on my left knee. Those things look like something out of the medieval age when you compare them to things guys wear today!

It sounds like you had some great times at ND.

I know how you feel about the age thing. I turned 41 in March (holy crap, heading toward 42!) and it's tough to look back sometimes.

Judging by the recent pics, it looks like you are keeping yourself in good shape...I'm sure being an athlete your whole life, it's tough NOT to do some things out of habit!

Do you play any ball in flag leagues or anything like that?

I did that a few times (some pretty good ex college players in a few of those leagues) but that was back in my mid 20's! I eventually got hooked on ice hockey and have been playing ever since.

Thanks for sharing those pics and the memories!

I just want to say a special thanks to Sweeka for that clip. I had no idea that was out there. Thanks again. Also,to Steelerfan 1967. I don't play anything sports wise. I was a gym rat for the past 10 years,and after my back heals up I can't wait to hit it again. I'm so out of shape right now and have lost a ton of muscle. I hope they are right about muscle memory.
Anyway, I just love to play some electric football these days, and I am crazy about this hobby I lost for 30 years. You all have totally brought back that little kid inside of me.

We're family up in here!

I love ND Football
I win a championship with "The Ohio State Buckeyes"

And I pray to god to one day see any son of mines in my favorite college colors:



GO BLUE!

Great Stuff! Sweetka that was excellent. I remember watching that game at home. Thats why I love college football. It's the atmosphere. Frank, dont worry about getting old. I am 41 and still love to play with little plastic football players vibrating across a metal field. The key to staying young is feeling young.

Heres one more.

Frank its a small world... I played in two playoff games against Rodney Culver in H.S. at Lansing Catholic Central (he played for St. Martin Depores). So sad. I beleive he had a young wife who also perished in that crash.

Too cool Frank! That should be somebodies entry in the scene contest next time. We should have a commerative Frank Jacobs figure as a gift for every MFCA member.
