This is bacl when the "big" bowls (Fiesta, Cotton, Rose, Orange, and Sugar) all featured classic matchups and were considered big time events. It was truly an honor to reach one of these bowls. Now, the Orange Bowl seems to have Wake Forest vs. Louisville every year. I haven't caught more than a minute of the past 3 or 4 Orange Bowls, and that's just sad.

Loving that disco sound starting at :37! Awesome music in this clip

[Jean0987654321]

lovin the opening theme song with the chime and all

[vitoduval]

I miss watching all those New Years Day bowls on the same day, now the conferences are all mix and match.

[jrino1979]

Greatest. Music. Ever.

Anyone, particularly Penn State fans, remember why NU wasn't #1 that year? The refs blew a call or two in a NU-PSU game at Beaver Stadium, and PSU won, so they won the NC despite same record. But, since Penn State deserved a share in 1994 and didn't get it, it all comes out in the wash.

[LaVarLB11]

We got lucky at the first night game in Beaver Stadium :)

But your revenge came in the 1983 Kickoff Classic when Nebraska routed us 44-6 :(

1994 - media wanted to give Tom Osbourne a NC...PSU would have destroyed Nebraska

[Cheval52]

What the Hell does Keith Obermann know about Sports other than he has always been LEFT handed.

It was bad enough when we had Bryant GUMBALL in there.

Take away the primadonna's NBC and give us REAL substance

[raiders1967]

Criqui and Brodi were a great team.

[OrigLanceR]

yes, Trumpy was pretty good replacing Brodie as well.

[jrino1979]

check out the music starting at 00:38 - saturday night fever, man.

[FLA2000SEAN]

i remember when the orange bowl halftime show was a big deal

[StFidjnr]

can you post the 1983 sugar bowl game intro please.

[oc61579]

Again,if i had it,(which i don't unfortunately)it would be up there by now.

;)

[RonnieLott42USC]

I have a question. I know NBC started televising Notre Dame's home games in 1991. My question is prior to '91, did NBC televise regular season college football games?

[oc61579]

No as far as the regular season games goes.

[BBoyd27]

@RonnieLott42USC nbc before at least 1991 when notre dame football was shown did more basketball games than football since football was on abc cbs espn tbs and raycom back in the day

[dmbbf5]

@RonnieLott42USC actually i think they might have in the late 50s early 60s

[huskerfan4life]

The only thing I didn't like about this game was that we didn't get another chance at Penn State at a bowl game.

[SFFOOL76]

yeah you got 1994, so what's more of a screw job then that?

Oh the 1982 touchdown, ha!

[SFFOOL76]

Don Criqui one of the best announcers of all time, and should have always stayed on top, I mean he is 5x the announcer that Joe Buck is.

[rjpsuh06]

That is very interesting how you bring both Don Criqui and Joe buck up. Joe Buck is the youngest to call a full slate of NFL TV games. Buck was 25 in 1994. I don't know when Don Criqui was born but I think he was 25 or 26 when he called a full slate of NFL TV games in 1967. When you hear Buck being the youngest to call a full slate, you never hear Criqui's name come up. Also, Criqui didn't have a famous name to lean back on when hired by CBS in '67.

[olidesking58]

Can't stand Joke Buck since Pat Summerall retired NFL play by play has really gone down the toliet.

[landon410]

i wasnt even alive when this game was played

[nichron55]

if your 11-1, I think your pretty good. If your in the Orange Bowl, I think your pretty good.

[chrisuncleahmad]

Were either teams REALLY good?

The video shows the win/loss record, but how good were they really?

[RodPower78]

Nebraska had a very good team, which was during the heyday of the Gill/Rozier/Fryer era. Their only loss was to eventual national champions Penn State in Happy Valley, which was marred by a very controversal call on Penn State`s game winning drive. LSU had a good team in `82, which was the only good season in the ill-fated Jerry Stovell era.

A Tennessee fan with a video from a game involving an SEC rival?

Interesting.
