And John Facenda....

[Wally Pryor 5244]

NFL Network just starting Super Bowl highlights by game.

Facenda is the greatest voice associated with the NFL and it's not close. 

[Hagbard Celine 10763]

Griese should have put Unitas in earlier.

[Underdog 28457]

Always liked how he pronounced Pittsburgh with an emphasis on “burgh”.  With him and Sam Spence’s score, which I have many on itunes, just great stuff. 

[Wally Pryor 5244]

Yes indeed.

The Vikings have played in 4 SBs and have been shutout in all 4 of them in the 1st half. 

All 3 of the Cowboys SB losses were in the Orange Bowl.

That's why they tore it down.

Autumn Wind is outstanding. Chills.

[Vito Andolini 9112]

I’m not watching, but I’ve seen many of them (especially the early ones) several times. The Super Bowl III film is particularly interesting, as it broke from a traditional editing format and could be considered a precursor to the quick cuts popularized 12 years later by MTV.  They made it seem like Unitas threw about 20 passes on the final drive. 

And mic’ing Stram was genius for IV.

All timer right here for me

I actually have this LP....

[jeevsie 3722]

I just wish someone would finally figure out what to do with a drunken sailor.

[Whatever 700]

Used to watch all of these as a kid every year during the week of the SB.  They're still great.

Trade you a Circuit City coupon or two for it.

Showing my age but it's cool to see what they did without all the CGI and special effects that every network seems to add these days. However the first down line is very cool

Bet not everybody knows that Tommy Facenda was John Facenda's brother by another mother. Tommy wore a blue cap for a while. (Anybody??  * *crickets* *)

Man, I used to watch those late at night on my little b&W TV by the bed when I was supposed to be sleeping on a school night. Pure heaven.

Facenda’s finest work…

Go to 1:40 for a reminder of why we didn’t literally run all over Georgia in the Cotton Bowl. And 3:43 to appreciate just how big that Freshman kid was who was gliding down that field  

Go to 2:18 for a reminder of why the OP and I chose our usernames.

Sometimes the HOF gets it right-this is one of those times.

My first Texas game was UT vs Rice in 83 when Simmons ripped one off. I was sitting in the upper deck.

We just missed being on the 40 Acres at the same time.  I was a senior in HS in 83.  Freshman year was in 1984 at UT.  My college roommate and I both graduated from UT in December 1988.  We were accused of staying an extra semester just to get another football season in.

[TexasBeta 1261]

Senior year in high school. This season sold me on Texas for school. They suckered me in then gave me Akers on the down slide and McWilliams. Oh yeah, one tie and three losses to OU and 4 looses to the farmers. Did see Ricky, Vince and Peter Gardere beat OU 4 straight after graduation so it all evens out.

My daughter’s experience on campus was the same as mine. She entered in 2010 for the end of Browns run and into Strong’s experiment.

Timing is everything....my dad entered UT the fall of '69!
