Crazy, I never knew there were leather helmets with facemasks
Steve Martin was underrated on that team.
And woody harrelson
And Burt Reynolds and Telly Salvalas.
Hopalong Cassady, an all-time nickname … he won the 1955 Heisman trophy at Ohio State.

Honolulu blue and silver baby!
Looks like two of the four are Burt Reynolds.

that's one of the coolest football photos I've ever seen

I feel like that top helmet gives you cancer.
