FANTASY COLLEGE FOOTBALL THRU THE AGES: 1990-1999
Thursday, June 5th, 2008The Nineties.
Seems like yesterday everything go big. The Notoious B.I.G. was big; our President was big into…sax; young girls were big into boy bands (every generation has to do something embarrassingly stupid); fast-food places had their “biggie” and super-size menus.
College football got big in this decade especially on the stats page. QBs threw more, RBs [...]
FANTASY COLLEGE FOOTBALL THRU THE AGES: 1980-1989
Thursday, June 5th, 2008The Eighties!
Fantasy college football in the 1980s….oh what it could have been! The beginning of the common era at least for most of us. ESPN and MTV became huge. We had a New Wave British Invasion in music and now what we call old-skool (rap, hip-hop) was pretty new to those in the ‘burbs. It [...]
FANTASY COLLEGE FOOTBALL THRU THE AGES: 1970-1979

Fantasy college football would have competed for your time with disco, Led Zeppelin, and Pittsburgh Steelers’ running back Frenchy Fuqua’s high-heeled shoes….the ones with the goldfish swimming in the heel (yeah, but how was he as a fantasy back?)
College football became more of a staple on television, broken up occassionally by Brady Bunch [...]

Peace, Love, and College Football! No protests over this at Fantasy College Blitz…..
The decade was crazy off the field: Hair grew longer, women grew wilder, and the music became more British. The Vietnam War and the civil-rights struggle were the main non-sports issues (the latter would impact the college game more, later in the [...]
FANTASY COLLEGE FOOTBALL THRU THE AGES: 1950-1959
Thursday, June 5th, 2008The Fifties.
For fantasy college football players, it would have been an interesting time. A time where we liked Ike, drove big cars with huge tail-fins, and started to rock-n-roll a little. College football was still more popular than pro football (well, at least until the end of the decade) with top college players of the [...]
FANTASY COLLEGE FOOTBALL THRU THE AGES: 1940-1949
Friday, June 16th, 2006The Forties.
A time where the United States emerged from The Great Depression and became the dominant world power, economically and politically, after ridding the planet of the Nazi and Axis yokes in World War II. An era in which retired TV newsman Tom Brokaw described Americans as “The Greatest Generation”.
They were also pretty good football [...]
