The Bob Hope all American football team was hokey but I always look forward to it

A little bit of trivia on that 1984 AP All-American team

The AP 2nd team punter that year....Randall Cunningham

Same with me. I always thought it was the coolest thing to have all the different players there and in uniform. Good stuff.

Damn, Bill Fralic is on the ‘84 team. He died today.

I was a kid, but I think Bob Hope had a Christmas special every year, and would announce the All American team in the middle of the show.

I agree. While the 24-7-365 coverage today certainly has it's benefits, some things have been lost.

Bill Hawkins of Miami was a hell of a pass-rusher until he tore up his knee.

Trump needs to find another Bob Hope if he wants to MAGA.

One of the Arkansas players who Bob Hope made a joke on how big he was with 6’3” 263. Different world.
Wasn’t the playboy team a preseason team? How the hell did they know about Barry Sanders? He was Thurman Thomas back up year before
