You are old when you looked forward to the August

didn't it rain rather heavy once? *

It did in 1976 (discussed below) *

Was attending a NSF session in Chicago in '67. Saw the Pack

annihilate the College All-Stars. Might of been the last game in the series.(?)

Last game called due to storm, '76

I was stationed at Scott AFB, IL. @ Air Weather HQ & we watched that storm develop. Remember the WLS weather interruption with radar of storm over Chicago. A monster.

I was at that game. Ara coached the All Stars.

It rained really hard for a while. I think it stopped before we got to the car to drive home soaking wet.

It died that night, and it was time

For many years, the game was actually competitive, even up to the early 60's - the All-stars beat the Packers in 1963, the last game they won. Even by 1969, the Jets only won by 2 points. Also in that game, I wonder if any of the Steeler starters got into the game at all.

The NFL champs led 9-6-2 thru 1950 and 19-9-2 thru 1963

The NFL champions won the last 12 in the series to finish 31-9-2. According to Wikipedia, the game's sponsor, Chicago Tribune Charities, "had every intention of staging a 1977 game," but "a combination of NFL coaches being increasingly unwilling to let their high draft picks play, rising insurance costs and higher player salaries meant the game was no longer viable."
