DVD Reviews of 1966 NCAA(r) Division I Men's Basketball Championship - Texas Western vs. Kentucky
DVD Review: FINALLY!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
For YEARS I have been pleading with the NCAA, the university (UTEP), ESPN, and anyone else who would listen that this game, perhaps the most important and culturally significant contest ever played, should be remastered and released on DVD. At last, my wish has been granted. I've had an old VHS copy of this game that was made from the original master reel for a few years, but the picture quality is very poor and there's no audio.
While the picture quality is still not 100%, this digitally remastered version of the game is as good as could possibly be expected (since the master reel is over 40 years old). Another great feature is that the game finally has audio. They managed to find the original radio broadcast of the game and matched it to the video, so the play-calling is seamless and exact. Add to that the bonus features, which include player interviews, the game newsreel, and the NCAA highlight video aired after the game, and it truly is a piece of history not to be missed.
When "Glory Road" was released on DVD last year, one of my biggest complaints was that they didn't even attempt to include a bonus disc of the actual game. Now that this DVD has been produced, fans of UTEP basketball and basketball fans in general can see for themselves the game that changed collegiate sports forever.
It's been long overdue... but well worth the wait.
