Sugar Bowl
- Thread starter newAD
- Start date
I loved it when I was a kid. CBS had the Cotton around noon. NBC had the Fiesta, Rose, then Orange. Can't remember who had it but someone had the Sugar opposite the Orange. Orange and Sugar were supposed to start at the same time, but Orange always started late due to the games before running long. Definitely was like Christmas for college football fans.
I just want to finally see a close game.. Can't stand either team or styles of play..
Quickly becoming yet another blowout. One of the worst seasons of bowls I can remember (aside from nebraska)
OSU is getting woodshedded. I cleaned out garage cabinet #2 during the Iowa game, I might go spend a half hour on #3 now.
I care.
I got 30 on Ole Miss, and my wife has them for 35.

I remember my dad taking the small tv from the kitchen and placing it on the large console tv in the family room so we could have both games on at the same time. Who needed picture in picture when you had picture on top of picture?

We'd do the same, or we had about a 4 inch black and white screen incorporated into a portable radio in the room. Kind of makes me miss over the air broadcasts.

I only had one tv so I had to flip back and forth between games. The one New Year's Day I remember doing some frantic channel flipping was 1979 between Alabama and Penn St in the Sugar Bowl and Notre Dame and Houston in the Cotton Bowl. Both great games. A national championship on the line the Sugar Bowl, Keith Jackson calling the game, and Lindsay Nelson calling a Cotton Bowl that came down to the last play.
Loved listing to Lindsay Nelson brings back a lot of good memories. That was the year we had to replay Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl after TO finally beat Switzer for the first time.
Instead of watching the Sugar Bowl last night, I dialed up the 1972 Orange Bowl on YouTube and cast it via Chromecast to my big TV. Much more enjoyable. And I got to pretend I was 10 years old again.
I like to watch old games. It takes me back to the very time the game was played. My wife doesn't understand it though.
