Ping: Old School Football Fans
 
Here is the 1945 Old Oaken Bucket game. It capped Indiana's only unbeaten season and only outright Big Ten championship.



From Wikipedia:

Bo McMillin is the only person to coach Indiana to an outright Big Ten Championship. In 1945, the Hoosiers achieved their only unbeaten season (9-0-1). The achievement earned Coach McMillan the title of Man of the Year (by the Football Writers Association) and Coach of the Year (by the Football Coaches Association). Part of the team's success in this period is attributable to George Taliaferro, an African-American who helped break down color barriers in sports and played for the Hoosiers two years before Jackie Robinson suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers. A three-time All-America, Taliaferro led the Hoosiers in rushing twice, punting in 1945 and passing in 1948. He helped lead the 1945 undefeated team.

Solid. "Gimmicky" plays and a fake punt within the first 3 minutes of tape. This could turn into a good thread.
