This was during the era of REAL FOOTBALL!!! Those jersey's are the famous tear aways fo the '70's. Players use to have 2 or 3 extra jersey's. When it really got bad, you'd see star players wearing foreign numbers. What an era we had! Oh yeah, AC was one of the greatest WR's of all time, hands down.
So I am buying dog food at a specialty pet store and the guy in front of me is joking with the manager about the Giants going down. We all share a laugh and he leaves. The manager is laughing about the conversation and says to me, "Thats Anthony Carter." I say "AC!" Being a life long Viking fan, I run to parking lot and we spoke for a bit. It was really cool. Super nice guy.
ABC taking over the Rose Bowl could never bring exciting coverage like NBC did. Miami's Dynasty was born to NBC. The Nebraska game where it all started in '83. I was a HUGE Cornhusker fan. Miami broke my heart the night of 1/1/84 in the Orange Bowl. I wore Turner Gill's jersey in HS. We also ran the Power I just like Nebraska.
It was the worst thing that ever happened. Enberg & Olsen working the Rose Bowl & Don Criqui working the Orange later that New Year's night. Those were the last of the Mohegians. It's a dying craft. I loved Enberg's "Oh My!!!" What a broadcaster.
Where can I find video of the 1987 Rose Bowl: Michigan vs Arizona State?...THANKS

A.C. was great receiver, he was even better when he played in the USFL.

Where did AC get that makeshift jersey from? Where is it today?

Current A.D. at Michigan is Don Martin. Current H.C. is
Rich Rodriguez. After the shaky season they've just been through, I think that A.D. Martin should have H.C. Rodriguez'
sit down and watch all these YouTube videos showing Michigan Football as it is: a monument to greatness.

Anthony Carter was the man. Best receiver in U-M history until Braylon Edwards came along. Oh, and 1980 was an awesome season. Go Blue!

It was Enberg.
He and Merlin Olsen covered the Rose Bowl from 1980-1988, before ABC picked it up.
