This theme reminds me of the "swan song" years of the Southwest Conference...after the infamous Death Penalty (and the corruption of the conference in general) killed it.
Definitely brings back old memories...when UT, A&M, Tech, Baylor, UH, Rice, SMU and TCU were all under one roof (Arkansas found the pain of the conference's fall too unbearable to tolerate and bailed out early).
I know dude, I remember at like three or four hearing this theme, when they used to have the Diet Pepsi Tournament of Champions in Charlotte, and it is on one of my top five sports themes of all-time...Raycom should go back to using this theme on their ACC and SEC Football/Basketball telecasts, as well as the intro after this one, where "RAYCOM" flys across the screen with different sports showing.
The Metro conference .. boy, that's a trip back in the time machine.. I remember South Carolina was actually a member at one time, becuase it gave them a conference affilation that didn't tie up their then independent football status..
Man, this brings back memories. Always loved the jazziness of the music! When I first heard this in '93, I was 7 years old and was in Chicago visiting my relatives, but for some reason, the Raycom Sports jingle always stayed with me. You don't hear many sports intro jingles like this one today! Today most jingles seem to sound all serious and stuff, IMO. Man, how I miss the 90's. Thanks for uploading this!
What I'd like to know is if anyone has the old Raycom sports (late 1980s/early 1990s) FOOTBALL theme. It was bumper music that would get used on the College Gameday highlight/scoreboard shows in the 1990s, and I've really missed it.

This is nice.

Anyone else know what I'm referring to?
