An annual game for college stars hoping to turn pro, the Blue-Gray Game was one of the primary talent showcases of its time. And on Christmas 1984, those who tuned into the Blue-Gray Game saw a prolific wide receiver from a Division I-AA school star against major-college standouts.

Thirty years ago Thursday, Mississippi Valley State’s Jerry Rice was the Blue-Gray Game MVP as the South rolled to a 33-6 victory over the North.

Rice caught a pair of TDs, including a 60-yarder, according to The Associated Press‘s account of the game.

“I wanted to make a point for small college players everywhere,” Rice said afterwards, per the AP. “I wanted to play well for them.”

The Blue-Gray Game hasn’t been played as a college football all-star contest since 2003. Perhaps because of its placement on Christmas — and perhaps because it was that nice little shot of holiday football — the game still inspires some nostalgia. We wouldn’t mind its return. And we really wouldn’t mind seeing some highlights of the ’84 game, when Rice — soon to be an NFL star — made a big splash.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ill recind my post, as the source I used was incorrect, OK there were two 100 yard seasons in the 60's but the averages were just a little over 80 unlike the 90s where minus 1 season every year there's a 100 catch leader and ofter multiple players are above 100.

What part of never said he didn't cheat do you not understand? But how does the league itself look at Rice? Nobody calls him a cheater like that. You think he was the only player doing that? Or do you feel he should be the only one called out for it? Where's your outrage that HOFer Fred Biltetnikoff cheated?

You can try to diminish what Rice accomplished. Won't work with me, I think he's an all time great. But the funny thing is if Rice was a Pat you're opinion on this would be much different.

Cool. That took a little bit of effort but it's clear we both agree he was a career cheater.

Ok, so the source I read was wrong, fucking sue me.

Facts are what you are trying to act was common it was far from it. I remember Monk hitting that number was a huge deal, sorry I not as old as you're wrikley ass is.

I'm not getting losr at all, unless the board asks me to leave.

My offer still stands.

Let the board decide who the problem is, you or me. Loser stays off the NFL board, and his team board.

Hell I'll self impose I will never repond to you nor will I post in a thread you think you own.

Accept this offer or just Shut the Fuck Up Rosendo.

Dude, why do you take this light weight stuff so damn serious? Have fun with it, look at yourself, always trying to prove me wrong, always GRRRRRRRRRRR. If you would have read some of that Avante stuff you would have seen how highly I was regarded there, MVP, poster of the year etc,

Why do you have such a hard time with me, it's weird.

Relax guy, chill, smile, ok?
