Question
Hello Darwin,

I am looking for the name of a college football game that had a board for the field and a long about 20 inch rolling playboard that fit inside what was like the football stands.  You picked your play.. Off Tackle, Long Pass and spinned the rotating circular cardboard that had lots of potential answers.  It was just enough room to get your two or three fingers in there to spin it.  The answer displayed just underneat the play you chose.. be it 4 yard gain, defense holds.  I recall the offense picked a play and defense as well and perhaps the answer was the middle of the two.  The box had Ara Parseghian on the outside of the box as well as USC coach John McKay and a few other coatches I believe.  It came out I'd say between 1973-1975 and I loved it.  I see some others asked the same question but didn't give enough details.  I'm giving you all that I have.  I've searched google, ebay and can't find it.  Any idea on the name of it and who made it?  Thank you.  Paul

Answer
Hi Paul,  This is definitely a tough search.  I did do some searching and found some that have dial and such.  A lot of the games have dice or cards controlling them.
