When many games were not televised locally? I guess with all the networks we have today that wouldn’t be possible !

of regular season games that any one team could appear in.

Someone will need to help me with the exact numbers but, when I was a student in 1973, ABC showed our home game with NC State. I want to say that we had gone something like three years without a televised game before that.

Tim Bourret was still a student at Notre Dame but he still might know the actual answer

Two TV games during the season and one bowl game, circa 1973.

I'm so old I remember when you could only enjoy a game by sitting in Memorial Stadium or listening on the radio.

Yes, seems like up until mid 80's there were only 2 to 3 games on each Saturday, rarely was a game on Saturday night. for Clemson games you watched by being in the Valley or just listened to Jim Phillips on the radio.
