I don’t even consider Tarkenton and Manning in the same era. Manning was Fran but bigger faster stronger and a better thrower.

Great point about the good games
Outside your conference. Not going to get many if any of those now because it doesn’t benefit anyone in terms the playoffs. We need to go back to two teams playing for the NC.

It shows my age but the first time Insaw Archie was on tv in prime time v Alabama and Scott Hunter. My daddy was driving the cotton picker and me and my little brother would have to “tramp” the cotton down in the trailer every time he dumped cotton into the trailer. I then would run back to the house and watch the game. One of the greatest games ever. In an era of low scoring games, it was a track meet and Archie Who became a
Legend. Later that season in the Sugar Bowl he whipped the Hogs after they coined the term Archie Who. He showed them who. That game made college football what it later became. First prime time game and the country was hooked.

Alabama and Oklahoma is one and two and no argument really. Texas is 3 but not as clear as the first two. Georgia, LSU, Tennessee….are next 3 but strong arguments can be made either way. Florida and Auburn are 7 and 8 can be debated. A and M, Arkansas, and Missouri are next and you could argue the order. Ole Miss is 12. Kentucky is 13. South Carolina 14. Mississippi State 15. Vandy 16.

Missouri fans for the most part do t care about Arkansas and the feeling is mutual. For Arkansas it is definitely Texas now that the game is back. For Missouri…most ofd their fans have a real hate for Kansas and no one else. I like all rivalries…real ones and not contrived. Such as A and M and Texas. Or RR Shootout…those are real. SEC historically has always been about the real rivalries. Hard to choose a favorite.

Spoken like an Arkansas fan. And every game was lost as the result of officiating…same as all other losses.

OU is one of the top 5 all
Time programs. They got that way because they gave perhaps cheated better than any program in college football and for a longer time. Bud Wilkinson was paying players and winning games a long time ago. Used to be kind of a joke among OU fans. Win a championship and go on probation. A great trade off.

Pretty much the same experience listening to those night games back before we had all day and all night tv games. Then The Chief would have a long post game show. They covered mainly LSU…but the Saints would be talked about some and every Louisiana directional
School and maybe some HS thrown in there as well.

Missouri’s is underrated. Very collegiate and has the same sound as a Notre Dame or Michigan…classic fight songs. But Alabama is my favorite. Sounds like college football and not a Tide fan.

Do any of y’all remember a Saturday night radio show on AM radio…I think out of New Orleans..:hosted by The Chief? Back before internet and when college football was truly college football and radio was where you got your fix. I was a teenager when I started listening living in central Arkansas. Saturday nights and fans calling in was great.

I can appreciate the skill …but there is a reason why little kids play it better than they do other sports. It is kicking a ball and trying to get it in the net. Simple rules…and simple skills. Not simple to do well..but kids can kick a ball before they can catch or throw. And look how complicated the rules and fundamentals are in other sports. It’s boring…mostly standing or walking…and players flop like fish. I watched off and on..and tried. But can’t care.
