Thanks for your service sir

Thanks for your service. I was stationed in Tokyo and Yokosuka

My father-in-law Bill Jay was off that day for that TV station in Nashville and made same comment…😂

@@markz2644 I knew your father-in-law quite well. He was a great newscaster and along with weather man Bob Lobertini, Channel 5 dominated the local ratings. I also watched Bill's Woods & Waters Show and his playing Captain Bill for the cartoons.

Well, at least he knew an attractive woman when he saw one.

Right with you Chris I was a Sophomore and My sister was at BC at the time! College football was so good then too!!!! Flutie Bernie Boz Bo McMahon Kelly Keep going!!!!!!!

This was Black Friday, Nov. 23rd, 1984. It also was my mother's birthday. My father and I took her out to dinner and then Dad and I watched the game. It was fantastic. Neither team could stop the other and the two teams combined for around 1100 yards of offense. A year later my father became ill and by the summer of 1986, he passed away . I would love to have a copy of this game on DVD

Same here. I had been at the local skating rink/arcade for the first 3 quarters. Even the 1 quarter I DID see made this game legendary.

.... Sulking off the field and couldn't man up. Still bugs me.

Racist much?

He's a scumbag. Not shaking hands after the game, cussing at coaches: that's what kind of boy he is.

Couldn't stay on the field to shake Doug's hand. Taught me a lot about him.

And that's why I go back to the old-time broadcasts of my youth that I have on DVD (the '81 Rose Bowl, the '81 and '82 Orange Bowls and the '86 Fiesta from NBC, and the '87 Red River Rivalry from CBS, among others)-- today's games have far too much rock music and hype, and far too many graphics, in addition to what you said.

When I watch football I'm not worried about some dude's hair

no divisive blm slogans or woke broadcast crews

​@@joealomar-cu3qbwoke..really ..get a life.

🙄

So Good!!!!

I will add to that my whole family was down Cape Cod for Thanksgiving that weekend!!!!! We Jumped up and down my hands hit the ceiling when they won that game. I opened the door and listened outside and all you could hear was cheers and yelling. Scott Harrington's family had a place on our street further down as well. Part of yelling maybe?????

WAS pretty darn good, nowadays, 36 years older, he probably would not get in half the teams.

@@ATPMolloy1 That is the case for any collegiate athlete 36 years removed from competition.

@@eugenemcgirt2357 you spotted the dry humour about not getting in "HALF" the teams 36 years later, :) :)

@@ATPMolloy1 Tom Brady is 44. 44 is the new 24 if you eat avocado toast everyday.

@@howarddamico1237 God could America use Tip today!!!!! Great Memory. My Dad was a Golden Eagle. All I ever heard my whole life during games and beyond was......"Go You Eaglessssss!!!!" or like you said....."How bout them Eagles????""""

Before this game, no one ever heard of Doug Flutie. In this time period people were getting tired of Florida, Florida State, and Miami dominating college football. You have BC fans, you have Miami fans, and then you have underdog fans. The underdog fans far outnumber the team fans. After this game, everyone heard of Doug Flutie. The only bad thing about this game was the world's worst sports commentator -Brent Munsburger.

@@bobroth1951 Incorrect Flutie's name was everywhere in College Football from the time he was a Freshman!!!!!! Second Brent was a good announcer until later in his career!!!!! The Game did cement him for sure I will agree with you there. Also Everyone thinks that game is the reason he got the Heisman...yes it helped but if you listen to that game you will hear Musberger say" Something to the effect of WHen this Kid goes to to New York and picks up his Heisman Trophy!!!!!! It was pretty much known that he would win. Where are you from Bob???? Might make sense as to why you think that?

@@FreedomRock44 I am from Pa. Flutie was not that well known outside of the football college circuit, until this game. If you google "Worst sports announcers", Brent Munsburger is on many of them. He frequently got player's names and numbers wrong. He did not know what he was talking about most of the time. He did not know how to read ref's hand signals. He was so bad that when he was the announcer, I would turn off the volume on the TV and try to find the game on radio and listen to that announcer, instead of Munsburger, if I could not find the game on a radio station, I simply watched it without audio. It also seemed to me that he was rooting for the favorite team. I do agree that this is the best college football game ever.

@@bobroth1951 Actually, Flutie was very popular even prior to playing Miami. He was up top with all the collegiate passing records and Heisman candidate. This game made him the frontrunner. As for the Florida teams, the Florida Gators weren't a player during that point in time. Many years of violations from the Charlie Pell era and pre Spurrier. Florida State had yet to win a major bowl and wouldn't get their first title until a full 10 years later. Miami was on the map but only had the 1 previous title from 1983 and weren't great in 84. During this period the Big 8, Big 10, SEC, SWC and Penn State were still on top in college football.

The best part was Bitch Kosar leaving the game in tears without shaking hands because he's too much of a little baby to handle losing with grace.

@@encycl07pedia- just like baker.

Yeah, before "black friday" was even a thing. lol

Miami-scores what they think is the game winning touchdown Flutie- hold my Hail Mary

But you can question his sportsmanship. He couldn't shake Flutie's hand after the game?. Showed me a lot.

Thats awesome , I'm a Auburn fan but I love college history and live in mass

Still bothers me. Classless move.

@@brianhildreth9099 - I saw a video once of a football team, college I think, that were heading straight to the locker room after a loss. Their coach ran after them, chased them down and yelled at them to go back and shake hands. That guy was not just a football coach; he was a life coach.

He did play in the NFL. For several years.

@@matthewpierce8250 I meant start him.

It is. It's presented in 1.78:1 ratio here when it should be in 1.33:1.

Surely this comment is from 18 years ago. Because otherwise...🫕🫖⬛

The ultimate "sore loser" comment. Pretty pathetic.
