THIS!....HAS BECOME MY FAVORITE CHANNEL!!!....I LOVE !LOVE! LOVE!...CLASSIC COLLEGE FOOTBALL!....NEVER , EVER THOUGHT I'D SEE OR HEAR MANY OF THESE GAMES FROM THE GLORIOUS PAST....👍 Thanks Mr. Chabot....awsome!
@@johnmanning4097 Man seems to release a new never-before-seen blast from the past every few days...after all these years...kinda INCREDIBLE!... didn't think some of these even existed...👍
For me personally, this is the holy grail of college football games and I have been waiting for EVER for someone to post this up, so THANK YOU. I was begining to think that I would never get to see a replay of this game. I was 9 years old when I attended this game with my father and mother, sitting in the middle of the Nebraska section wearing gold hard hats, jackets and having a ball. All of our family lived in Nebraska except for us, my parents got the hell out of there in 1960 and never looked back. My father actually traded tickets with some coaches from Creighton who wanted to sit with a mutual friend of my parents that also lived in Phoenix and was from Nebraska. Hence how we ended up in the middle of the Nebraska section. What a wonderful time that was and what great joy it brought me to watch this, so thank you again. Hard to beleive that 21 years later I lived half a mile from the campus and celebrated my son's 1st birthday with my parents while ASU "creamed the corn" 19-0. Still there and loving Tempe. #FEARTHEFORK
@@kek3908 as long as you have a great AC and never go out in the summer. My beef with the now is salted streets which screw up your cars body with tons of rust. I don’t feel like paying a 100 grand for a car and have it rust out in a few short years. Where you are is my dream classic car location because you can find a cool car in the old junkyard and fix it up. No rust because no rain. However, I’d have to summer in Flagstaff instead of Phoenix. I’ve been driving from here to California and stopped and got out for gas in Phoenix and thought I was baking inside. Haha. My wife grew up in Blythe on the Colorado river and it’s so dang hot there. It’s horrible here, too, but a good 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix
@@kek3908 there’s no way they’d have beaten the OU of 1975. No way and I’m a Texas fan. OU was awesome that year and most years back then with that fast wishbone offense and the Selmon brothers on defense. Texas invented the wishbone but OU perfected it.
@@bradtaylor4765 Double a/c units on my house along with a swimming pool, no complaints. Plus you sound familiar with the area, so we also enjoy the lakes on the Salt River. Flagstaff is nice, but we enjoy going up to Alpine in the White Mountains, little further but less crowded. Blythe is miserable to be honest, all the heat plus humidity and then add it all the bugs from the farming and river. I have driven through Blythe at night and it looked like it was snowing there were so many bugs, lol. Arizona is the best place in the nation to find a classic car, period. There are so many here you almost don't even notice.
Our first of many bowl games in the opponents' home stadium, followed by Miami in the Orange Bowl after 1983, 1988, 1991 and 1994 seasons. Still waiting for the Corn Bowl. If we ever make the playoffs, we may finally have our wish.
I agree. The Tony Davis fumble on that final Nebraska drive as they were going for the tie or win. It was right in front of me in the direction of the South Endzone is etched in my memory
1974 Season ASU LB Larry Gordon, later excelled for the Miami Dolphins. After his NFL career, Gordon (#53 in the Fiesta Bowl) died young from a heart attack while out jogging long-distance near his Phoenix-area home.
Arizona State was the Boise State of its day as the mid major school that could hang with the power schools when the opportunity to play them arose. Note that although the Fiesta Bowl was on ASU’s home field, Sun Devil Stadium was technically a neutral site for this game with Nebraska as the designated home team.
Not sure I would agree with your assessment. IIRC, ASU earned a very high preseason ranking the following year and were on national TV to open their schedule, (on a Thursday night no less!) hosting Rose Bowl champ UCLA. The sun devils got trucked and never recovered. They would join the pac-8 just a couple of seasons later.
Thank u for these videos. Out west, in Phx, we didn't get to see the 3rd-most cinsequential game in AzSt fb history (blacked out). U r making such a difference.
crazy how "skinny" offensive lineman were back in the day...the Nebraska line looks like they are all 240lbs max, smaller than the average high school offensive line now a days.
I was there 50 years ago. Three things stand out. My first (and only) sighting of a road runner. Second the road from Phoenix to Tempe lined with junk yards and hub caps along the fences. Third, those dammed crossing patterns ASU ran over and over. Big disappointment going home and I think the loss carried over into 1976 when expectations were so high.
In 1978 I was able to spend a week at camp Tontozona at a weeklong ASU football camp for youth during the summer. Coach Kush and his staff ran 2 a days and to be honest, it was a little brutal for kids, but I loved every minute of it and cherish the pictures like a horde of gold. Many, many years later on Halloween night I was out with my children in our neighborhood here in Tempe near ASU when we knocked on a door and Frank himself answered, it was a real treat.
NFL wr great John "JJ" Jefferson, #84, starred for AzSt vs Nebraska. Also, the dad of ex-Sparty qb Katin Houser(now at ECU), iirc, was OG for AzSt in that bowl game.
Something you’ll never see again. A broadcast team calling the Super Bowl and a College Bowl game in the same season. Pat Summerall and Tom Brookshier a few weeks later would call Super Bowl X, which was the only NFL playoff game they did that season. Also, something you’ll never see again.
At 1:14:00, Don Criqui was at this game as a spectator. At the time, he did his first stint at CBS 4 years before he went to NBC and back at CBS in 1998. The day before this game, he called the CBS Christmas Day NBA game in nearby Phoenix between the Suns and the then Kansas City Kings.
@@rjpsuh06 back in the 70s, CBS and nbc didn't carry any regular season college football games, so when they had bowl games, they used their NFL broadcasters
I can't believe this game is on youtube!! I'm a lifelong Sun Devil fanatic and I'm also an Alumnus. The Devils should have won the National Championship after this historic victory and season, but were robbed, because they played in the WAC. The legendary Frank Kush (whom I got to meet in the 90's), was a great coach! I actually live in Tempe, about 2 miles from Sun Devil Stadium, and am a season ticket holder. GO DEVILS!!
Tom Brookshier commented that Frank Kush tackled him in college. Looked it up. Colorado played Michigan State in 1951 when both would have been playing.
Arizona State had to be the acting visitors at their own stadium (lol), so they wore white jerseys--and would then beat Nebraska! I remember this game!
I believed then that ASU should have been voted national champion after this win and the undefeated season. The Sun Devils were a team much more talented than the nation knew. Then, with everybody back next fall, they proceeded to lose their first four games. The '75 Fiesta Bowl win was a shining moment in time, and not indicative of things to come.
After New Year's Day I thought Alabama might have had a chance to win a title after beating Penn State in the Sugar Bowl. But the polls gave it to Oklahoma after a sloppy win over Michigan. They also jumped ASU to #2 over Bama. That Tide team was a veteran unit and would have beaten ASU and was as good as that OU team in my opinion.
Two things I was ever bummed about going to a college game. Going to my first ASU game in 77 the stands were built up so much you couldn't see people on the mountain and going to a Georgia gane in 90 the stadium had been enlarged do much you couldn't sit on the railroad tracks and watch the game
Brookshier: called AzSt the "ArizonaSt Wildcats," then mispronounced last name of ASU SunDevils' qb ("Sprole," phonetically). Tom B. said "Sprowl," instead. Legendary Brookshire, a Roswell, NM-native & CU grad, should've done better. 🙄
ASU used to have great uniforms, through the Snake, Tillman era. Maroon & Gold are good colors. Then they started messing with all-black, all-white, oversized logos, etc. Ugly stuff.
Loved these Sun Burst logos. Love seeing the stadium in this configuration. ASU started expanding in 76 and reached 74,000. Now it's back to what it was in 1975.Arizona Wildcats uniforms in 80s and 90s were near perfect.
@@carseye1219 Yes.Even the Wildcats turned away from those awesome uniforms they had through Desert Swarm days. I'm an Ole Miss guy and luckily they haven't f*cked with the uniforms much over the years. The best are the powder blues
Both of the announcers have referred to ASU as "Arizona" multiple times. This is one of the worst things they could do to the Devils! This mistake has been repeated many times thru the years, by various announcers.
Yes. The 2 Az schools, 1970-1975, ran the WAC. Note: hypey L. Edwards fb dynasty at BYU jumped off in the 1st season after the 2 Az schools left the WAC. "'Things A BYU Fan Will Never Write' for $1,000, Alex." 😂
