For you Vidor fans I have a question


Recommended Posts

I just spoke with Mr Tolbert he did infact have a long TD pass of 89 yards against South Park he said the ball actually traveled 76 yards through the air. A record that is still held at Vidor till this day. He did note that they beat South Park at there own home field. Was a pleasure talking to the former Vidor QB. I asked Mr Tolbert how he could throw the football so hard he said; Son after school and on weekends I slung railroads tyes all day long working on the railroad thats were I gained my throwing strength from. He also said he threw a pass so hard it caused his WR to fall to the ground. This was very enjoyable discussion Thankyou Mr Tolbert for you time

That was back in the day when you would wake up before school barrel some hay and put a new fence post in and then go to school and come home after school and work some more and eat supper a sun down. When everyone knew how to really work.

applaud for you JH... it is a pleasure to see something brought up.... and talked about without jr high antics thrown in the conversation..... hats off to you very honorable way you handled your curiosity vs disbelieve... and I have found it is always a pleasure to sit down with the old timers and just listen.... some have lived through many changes in this ole world that come from Party line telephones to cell phones..... from writing letters ... to emails..... from listening to a show on the radio to watching it on TV.... they have made many changes and jumps in their live time and if a young man is patient enough to sit and just listen he can learn much from an old timer just from his stories and his experiences....
