DVD Review: One of the most amazing sports box sets out there
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a fan of classic sports broadcasts and this DVD set is one of the best out there. I am really amazed at how they chose these games.
I love all the discs but I am going to choose three favorites:
The first disc features one of three Orange Bowls featuring Oklahoma. It involves the Oklahoma Sooners and the Michigan Wolverines from January 1976. It is the NBC broadcast with Jim Simpson (before he left in 1979 for the new ESPN) doing play-by-play and John Brodie with color commentary. The broadcast even includes Jim Simpson mentioning the new NBC logo that debuted that year. This DVD includes Sooner Illustrated's The Best of the Switzer Shows with Barry Switzer. This is a nice touch because it includes clips from both shows that Barry Switzer did in Oklahoma. What amazed me was that they mentioned the "Playback" show. The "Playback" show aired all across the nation for Oklahoma Sooner fans. This has to be one of my favorite DVDs on the box set.
The fourth disc features the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns in the Red River Rivalry. It was a regular season match-up that aired on CBS in 1987. It features Brent Musberger doing play-by-play, Pat Haden with color commentary, and John Dockery reporting from the sidelines. This DVD includes the original pre-game and original post-game. That's not all...a sponsorship bumper is included and features the booming voice of Don Robertson who was the voice of CBS Sports at the time. Also...it includes a few cut-ins with Jim Nantz reading scores from various games in college football. What's interesting about this was that Jim Nantz was updating a football game where Wyoming would have wrapped up a Holiday Bowl berth by Halloween 1987. I have seen this disc three times and it has to be one of my favorites including disc one.
The fifth and final disc features the Oklahoma Sooners and the Nebraska Cornhuskers in what is called "The Game of the Century". It was another CBS broadcast from 1987. It features Brent Musberger doing play-by-play, Pat Haden with color commentary, and John Dockery reporting from the sidelines. It doesn't include the sponsorship bumper but it includes at least one cut-in with Jim Nantz. This is another one of my favorites on the set.
Those are my favorites.
Discs two and three featuring the remainder of their Orange Bowl games that aired on NBC. Disc two features Oklahoma and Penn State at the 1986 Orange Bowl while disc three features Oklahoma and Arkansas at the 1987 Orange Bowl. At the announcing helm during the 1986 and 1987 Orange Bowls were Don Criqui and Bob Trumpy.
All in all...this has to be one of the best sports box sets I have ever come across.
I sure hope they do make another Oklahoma Sooners football DVD box set. This one is the best!!!!!!
