    WONDERFUL!!! I know exactly how you feel some 40 years after my college football days are over. Although in college, I was moved to the defensive side of the ball, nothing compares to a pancake block. I especially enjoyed pancaking the defensive backs as they dance around the secondary in their little skirts they wear. As the old song says: "Oh what a feeling!" Excellent literature Tim.

    WONDERFUL TIM. As a college offensive lineman some 40 years ago, you brought back some wonderful memories. Although my final college football season was spent on the glory side of the line (defensive line), nothing compares to the ole pancake block. They don't come around often, but as the old song says: "Oh what a feeling." I also found great enjoyment trying to chase the defensive backs around the secondary before planting them. They sure were fast when they were backing up trying to escape. Brings tears to my eyes. Thanks!
