2006 Rose Bowl on ESPN Classics this Friday!

[Bill in Sinton]

That is on July 18, 2008 starting at 8:30 P.M.

That game was somewhat exciting.

 

[TxnByBirth]

Meh. I've seen hotter games on campus.

Is ESPN classic broadcast in High Def anywhere? Dish doesn't have it in HD. I'd love to get an HD copy on my DVR.

 

[TxnByBirth]

I'm on DirectTV and they don't have ESPN-C in high def. I don't think ESPN does classic in high def, which sucks because, like you, I'd love to get that game in HD.

 

[Handler XIII]

Thanks for the heads up

 

[Texanne]

I heard something about that game. Was there some guy who played really well in it?

 

[Zone Read]

Looking back on it, I probably wasted a lot of time and money going to the game. But at least I get to see 2 Heisman trophy winners on the field at the same time, which was kind of nice.

 

[Lidig8r]

Didn't ESPN's best team in the history of the earth play in that game?

 

[Texanne]

Not just best in the history of the earth, but the history of ... well, the universe.

 

[SigPi_Horn]

who won?

 

[ferrariparty]

Oh dear how could we possibly win this?

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

I could, literally, watch that game over and over again.

Without question, one of the greatest games in any year, in any sport.

I remember Herbie bubbling over after the game, something to the effect: " Folks, I have played this game, I have seen many, many sporting events at all levels from junior high to the olympics, but in my opinion, this was not only the best college football game I have ever seen, not only the best football game I have ever seen, but the best athletic competition I have ever been priveleged to witness."

Something like that.

I'll try to research the video to get the exact quote.


Hook 'em

Stewart Mandell of Sports Illustrated observed, "ESPN spent the better part of Christmas season comparing that Trojans squad to some of the most acclaimed teams of all time only to find out that they weren’t even the best team that season."

I LOVE that quote

When is this thing coming out on Blu-Ray? I'll buy a player just to see it in HD.

 

[Ignatius]

Take a look at this to get you fired up for replay...

 

[ProdigalHorn]

if you were a REAL fan, you would have this game on tape/DVD and could watch it whenever you wanted.

I know what you mean ProdigalHorn but everyone deserves a second chance.

 

[MaxHorn]

This game has been on my TIVO for two and a half years, and I do not plan on EVER deleting it.
