I grew up in small town America ...there were about 8 or 10 boys my age in about a 4 block area and we all had electric football games...some had the big super bowl 3 and some had the big grass endzone browns Giants and some had the little colts Packers game.....most had 8 or 10 Tudor teams....we were always playing football and basketball outside but on rainy days we played electric football....it was just the era we grew up in and electric football was the game of choice for so many of us.....I used to get a few teams in the little brown box from Tudor on Christmas and my birthday every year.....good memories.

I just finished the last tournament on Sunday evening. I usually wait a few weeks before starting a new one. But I am in a playing mood so I figure I would take advantage of that. This tournament will be a new concept ...I'm calling it The Luck of the Draw Tournament. ....I collect the 26 teams when the NFL and AFL merged in 1970.....I took a set of those 26 teams scoreboard name tags ...put them in a hat and drew out 16 teams....then I took the 16 put them back in the hat and matched up the first round games.....once I get the matchups I decide which uniforms I want each team to use.....after the first round I'll do the same thing with the 8 winners......game 1 featured the hog white broncos vs the hog dark black helmet saints ....and it was a humdinger ...I'm glad I decided to play tonight because it was a great game. Broncos 34 Saints 31 In the late 60s and early 70s neither of these teams had much success but they both played like super bowl contenders in this one.....Tom Barrington of the saints started the scoring on a 11 yard run and then a few plays later Floyd Little of the broncos scored and the game became a seesaw back and forth classic...it feature big plays on the ground...through the air and a couple of kickoff returns for touch downs too......great broncos from yesterday include : 44 Little...25 Otis Armstrong....87 Rich "tombstone" Jackson....55 Pete duranko....63 Dave Costa....42 Billy vanhusen....and 11 bobby Anderson.....the saints featured : 17 billy kilmer....25 Al Dodd...46 Danny abradowicz....76 Dave Rowe....83 Dave parks....38 Tony Baker and 32 Barrington......up next will be hog white chargers vs the hog dark eagles

Next tourney I'm going to call( luck of the draw).....I'm putting 26 team name tags in a hat...drawing out 16....then matching up who plays who by drawing out the 16 again.....after the first round I'll take the surviving 8 and do it again.....having some fun playing this great game of ours.

Super Bowl Bears 28 chiefs 14 Gale Sayers was unstoppable the entire tournament and finished with 3 touchdowns tonight. The score at halftime was 7-7 but the bears dominated the 2nd half......great bears represented include : 40 sayers....29 Ronnie bull....11 Jack concannon ....89 Mike ditka....78 Stan Jones....45 dick gordon...81 Doug Atkins....87 Ed obradovich....55 Doug buffone....41 Brian piccolo and 51 Dick Butkus.......great chiefs from the past included 16 len Dawson...89 Otis Taylor....78 bobby bell....63 Willie Lanier....21 Mike Garrett....45 bobby Holmes and 55 ej holub......I think for the next tournament I'm going to put all 26 team name tags in a hat...pull out 16 and line them up and play.....what a great game this electric football is.

Super Bowl preview The Chicago Bears vs the Kansas City Chiefs..Lamar Hunt vs George Halas..... Mr Hunt created the AFL and Mr Halas basically created the NFL.....I'll probably play this one Sunday Night......I've enjoyed this great game of electric football for around 53 years now.....original 1967 bigmen bears vs original 1967 bigmen Chiefs.

Thanks to The New Tudor and their many innovations I could use the snow cover that I keep on one of their championship boards and always enjoy playing on from time to time.

NFL CHAMPIONSHIP BEARS 17 GIANTS 3 In the snow the Bears needed one good drive and at least a field goal in the 4th qt to put the game away.....gale sayers carried them down the field on the long drive then scored his 2nd TD to give the bears the win and a trip to the super bowl to face the Chiefs.....great bears from the past include : 40 Sayers...51 Dick Butkus....45 Dick Gordon....87 Ed Obradovich....55 Doug Buffone....81 Doug Atkins....78 Stan Jones and 89 Mike Ditka.....the Giants were led by : 30 Ron Johnson....24 Tucker Fredrickson....40 Joe Morrison...38 Bob Tucker....71 Bob Lurtsema....and 89 Fred Dryer......I think for the Super Bowl I'll match the Bigmen Bears in white vs the Bigmen Chiefs in dark and play on my Super Bowl III board.

Ok...picked up 2 rare teams for the collection from a great electric football friend.....w hog chargers and d black helmet saints....been trying to secure a set of w hog chargers for about a year....the saints were just a bonus.....really excited.......now I can finish this tournament with a big smile...lol.....I'm going to play the hog w chiefs vs the hog d Jets for the AFL CHAMPIONSHIP.....then I'll play the hog white Giants vs the hog dark bears for the NFL CHAMPIONSHIP....then the SUPER BOWL.....I'll have to make sure and set up a early game with the chargers and saints against 2 teams in the next tournament.

AFL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME CHIEFS 30 JETS 27 overtime I decided to play the AFL CHAMPIONSHIP on the small Historic AFL field that Tudor made in 1968 and 69.....this and Super Bowl III were the only 2 fields that the old Tudor ever made with AFL IN THE ENDZONE.....I image young boys all over America woke up on Christmas morning to find one of these games under the tree.....the original game came with bigmen chiefs and sometimes a mixture of big w Jets and hog Jets.....I was able to get my big white Jets by buying several of these games...then replacing the bigmen with hogs and reselling .....the later versions came with strictly hogleg w Jets and hog d chiefs ....I read that because of Namath and the 68 Jets popularity so many of these games were sold that Tudor actually had to start putting in bigmen bills and dolphins because they had actually ran out of chiefs and jets.....I would guess that there were some unhappy kids when that happened.....ok enough history ...on to the game.....the game ran smooth and Matt Snell for the jets and Bobby Holmes for the chiefs had monster games...Snell had all 4 jets tds...and tank had 3 for the chiefs.....the score was 20 to 20 at halftime as neither RB could be stopped ...I said to myself that this game would probably boil down to a turnover and late in the game Namath threw an interception but 3 plays later Dawson did too....the jets missed a 40 yd field goal on the last play of regulation and the game went to overtime....on the 2nd play of overtime.. Holmes ripped a 50 yd run off tackle and set up an easy field goal and allow the chiefs to move on to the SUPER BOWL.....great former Jets tonight were : 41 snell...32 Emerson boozer....12 Joe Namath....52 John Schmidt.....66 Randy Rasmussen....67 Dave Herman....13 Don Maynard....and 87 Pete Lammons.....great chiefs from yesterday included : 45 Holmes....16 Len Dawson....89 Otis Taylor....55 EJ Holub.....78 Bobby Bell....51 Jim Lynch....and 63 Willie Lanier.....up next will be the Giants at the bears....I have a feeling a snow storm might hit and this one will be played on my modern Tudor snow cover field.

Hope to play the next game in a week or two...only 3 games left.

Thanks.....I have most of the old original teams and rather than let them just sit in a box I like to number them to represent the players from the 60s and 70s and actually play the game....I still buy an old team from time to time and I'm still like a little kid waiting for it to arrive in the mail.....I admire the new inventions and the great painters and decalers of the modern era....but the old teams are what has always kept me interested and enjoying the hobby.....it's been something I have really enjoyed for over 50 years..and I appreciate the new Tudor people and this site ......thanks again.
