Does not look like 300+ linemen were a thing back then
TOUGH TURKEY • 10/11/24 12:55 PM ET
Most of the linemen were in the 225-240 lb range.
RJHokie • 10/11/24 01:01 PM ET

Alot of those cadets probably headed to Vietnam....or the region **
Hokebury • 10/11/24 12:29 PM ET
Watching that video I wondered how many were Vietnam bound

TomTurkey • 10/11/24 01:18 PM ET
Wasn't Skipper inside the stadium until shortly after the SEZ was opened?**
IB4TECH • 10/11/24 09:15 PM ET
Maybe. I was there in the 70's. I recall, the smoke hung up for a while. **
