I recorded the 1978 Gator Bowl between Clemson/Ohio St.


Dec 5, 2019, 7:49 AM

Watching the first half last night, I realized how much college football has changed in the last 40 years. The crowd, cheer leaders, announcers (loved to hear Keith Jackson), size of the players, style of offenses/defenses, Danny Ford, hair styles, etc. Back then, there were not many bowls and the system was not watered down. The stands were full and the crowds only had the game to watch and not cell phones. Can't wait to see ole Woody lose his cool.

Did you eventually transfer it to DVD, or can you still get it to run on the BetaMax?

His reaction in that game made my jaw drop when I was watching the game live and it still makes me cringe every time I see it. Just to think we saw live the downfall of one of the icons of OSU football.

Loved Keith and Ara, but covering up Woody's punch (that everyone else saw) made me mad.

I attended that game with my parents, my Uncle and a cousin.

I was 15 and a ticket to that game was one of my Christmas presents.

We were seated behind the Clemson bench on the opposite side of the stadium from where the melee with Woody Hayes took place so we didn't even know exactly what happened until we read about it in the paper the next morning.

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
