The ep20 Grannys All-Time Football Team

It's time for yours truly, Jimmy Powers with another Grantlin Rice story. Hey there, this is Jimmy Powers coming your way once again transcribed with another chapter from the Grantlin Rice story, the tumult and the shouting.

Today's chapter is entitled, Football All-Timers and Should Bring Back Many Happy Memories. So with a low bow to Granny, I'll pick up his narrative in first person. There's something about the side of a top-flight football player that's just a little different from any other athlete with a possible exception of a fighter or a thoroughbred.

And because college football, as long as it's worth the name, will be played by the young undergraduate, here's to him. I've been asked to rank my all-time collegiate and professional 11s. This side of a house full of ghosts, nothing could be more mythical, but I'll give it a whirl.

Ranking some of the greatest games I've covered, however, isn't quite so difficult. As a starter, I give you the 1935 game between Notre Dame and Ohio State, a brawl in which the Irish were rated the underdog.

But between the passing of Notre Dame's Bill Shakespeare and the running of Andy Pilney, the Irish pulled it out in the last seconds, 1813. That was a great battle. So was the Sugar Bowl game in 1944 when Duke defeated Alabama, 29-26, in a seesaw battle at new no odds.

Even as long as football remains a game of heart as well as speed and muscle, I'll not forget the Pennsylvania vs. Michigan game of 1988. It was a scoreless tie until Michigan's great center, Germany Scholz, a one-man gang in himself, had to be dragged from the field, then penned, stormed all over the Wolverine 29
