I'm pretty sure we had spring football when I played back in the mid 70's; I'm sure we had the 60 Minute Club all winter and spring; and I'm sure we had workouts all summer. No 7s, I'll agree with you there. I don't recall summer camps either. But we certainly had "football" between the state game and late August. Heck I think our first game (the Rec Bowl) was in mid August, so I'm sure we were in full pads by the beginning of August (at the latest). It definitely wasn't as intense as it is now, that's for certain though. We had a few football players in my class that played two other sports, but not many (Dempsey and Malone come to mind); we had a few more football players in my class that played one other sport (Scent, Pendery, Stephens and Head come to mind) but again if my memory is correct most of the football players in my class played just football their senior year. I played just football and if my memory is correct, McMahon, Roberts, Olberding, Klump, Trout, Morris, Wendel, Stegman, Pompilio, McFarland and Wahlbrink all just played football their senior year. Some of those guys may have been on the track team; sort of like I was. On the days I wasn't doing 60 Minutes or other football related stuff, I'd go throw the shot and discus with the track team, but I never took it seriously and don't think I ever threw in a meet. It really was just something to do with the buddies on a nice spring day.
