I think in the 50s the allstar games were held in Abilene. One year in 1967 they were held in either Midland or Odessa.

I know in 1957 it was called the same as it is today Texas Six-Man Coaches Association....PS 1957 is not the answer either...

Southland

How about Wichita Falls as the place and 1952 as the year.

The Six and Eight man Coaches Association was a roaming nomad for much of its infancy. It was held at various locales, Cisco and I think Corpus among others and yes, Abilene. A haphazard group, many times the officers and directors cosigned notes to fund the activities. Uniforms were used from year to year and trainers unheard of. The awards to the players in most cases were small plastic footballs or basketballs, much as you see on mums at homecoming. They survived mainly on good fortune and good weather. For many years they were one rain out away from disaster.

They have come a long ways.

Here is another trivia question a little bit easier to find out:

In 1936 a cereal company featured six-man football plays introduced by different University coaches on the back of their boxes. There were a total of 6 different backs/plays and coaches.

1. What was the cereal?
2. Name all 6 coaches and their university.

Post Toasties !!!!! Have no idea about the coaches.

My grandfather loves Post Tosties...they are hard to find now days...good guess but NOPE!

Believe it or not it was Wheaties and the coaches were Bernie Bierman, Red Dawson, Tiny Hollingsberry, Andy Kerr, Ossie Solem and Tiny Thornhill.

Bernie Bierman University of Minnesota
Andrew Kerr Colgate University
Ossie Solem Iowa
Red Dawson University of Pittsburgh Tulane
Tiny Thornhill Stanford Temple University
Tiny Hollingsberry ???????

Correct smokey! Got them all!

Hollingsberry - Washington State

If you want to take a look at them here is a set.

Ain't Google amazing?...........

Easy one. Semi 6man question. Since Rule is now 6man. What famous 11m coach took his 1st job there after College for $900 a year with $1 a month taken out for retirement and 5% to the company in Abilene that found him the job. Hint: other 6man connection, Granger was in the press box with him at a state semi in his "own" stadium.

C'mon OBK, you've gotta have a question or two that will stump us all.
