He was before my time as far as his football career, but I definitely remember him as Hightower from "Police Academy." Title: Re: Bubba Smith dead at 66 Post by: pmull on August 03, 2011, 06:15:56 PM :( He played for several teams but I remember him best as a Baltimore Colt. He was quite a player. One of the best of his time.

Missing ring. 8) Title: Re: Bubba Smith dead at 66 Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 03, 2011, 06:50:17 PM He was the first really large defensive end at 6'7" & 265. He was very quick and fast for his time. Remember, the largest player for Tide at that time was probably 220#, if that big. In 1968, our nose guard was All American and he was like 5'8" 200.
