Go Gophers!!
 

I don't have the computer know-how to put up a link - but if you google it, you'll find one of the nastiest tackles in FB history - Chuck Bednarik creaming Frank Gifford in a Giants-Eagles game, then standing over his unconcious body. Worth a look.

Sad as it is, that same play in today's NFL would probably draw a fine.
