This was NBC's New Year's Bowl Theme. This theme was used from the 1986-1989 Bowl seasons. It was composed by Clark Gault who composed most of NBC Sports themes throughout the 80s. This is simply a marching band sounding version of NBC's NFL Pregame theme similar to Fox's current College Football theme. This to me was the premier New Year's Day Bowl theme. NBC really lucked out during this theme's run as they televised a National Championship implicating game every year. I targeted all of the New Year's Day games although NBC did televise the (December) 1985 Citrus Bowl with this theme and NBC also televised the 1988 and 1989 Hall of Fame (now Outback) Bowl with this theme. This theme and it's sister NFL theme would be discontinued after January 1989 as NBC Sports changed their image, graphics, and theme music beginning with Super Bowl XXIII.

Criqui and Trumpy was underrated solid gold

In those days, ALL the great games, important games, were on TV from noon to midnight january 1st. NBC, ABC, and CBS with 7-8 games on the first day of the new year. Pizza, Coke, pop corn, chocolat bars, etc. I need a time machine!

Now that NBC has got the rights to Big 10 beginning next season, they should bring back this theme.

Sports TV themes today suck, they'd rather promote their lame ass sponsors.

I have missed that theme music for 34 years, when you heard it you knew it was college football and it was an alarm to let you know on 1 January the rose bowl was about to get started then the Orange and the fiesta after that.

When ESPN didn't have a monopoly on College Bowl games.

I’m watching the Rose Bowl and started playing my video in the living room. It just fits perfectly instead of the boring and redundant theme (Da-Da-Da-Da….Da-Da-Da-Da) that ESPN uses. One day NBC will pay to dethrone ESPN for the rights to some of the New Year’s Bowl games and playoffs.

I miss these two guys; Merlin Olsen and Dick Enberg. I believe Mr. Enberg grew up in Michigan. I forget the name of his home town.

Back in the day when the rose fiesta & orange bowl games were on NBC it was spectacular before ESPN broadcast all 3 games

@chrisguardiano6143 Год назад

That might be changing in the next few years as NBC is officially back in college football outside of Notre Dame due to them getting a portion of the rights to the Big Ten earlier this year. With the College Football Playoff expanding as well, there is a great chance that NBC will be airing at least one if not all three of the bowls you mentioned in the next few years.

NBC knew what it was doing. They're like "yeah, all you other networks, you broadcast the meaningless games. We'll only go after the ones that really count. The ones that decide championships."

@jerseyfla Год назад

I think the rise of then-Independents Miami, Florida State, Penn State, and Notre Dame and Big 8 powerhouses Oklahoma and Nebraska in the mid to late 80s made major bowl games like the Sugar on ABC which had ties to SEC and the Cotton on CBS with SWC ties meaningless from 1986-1992 as it was either Independents or the Big 8 champion ranked at or near the top.

⁠@@jerseyflaTruth. But also OSU, USC in the 60s & 70s so often, and the Orange Bowl in the same time frame, too. 26 times in the last 45 years NBC had the Rose, Orange or Fiesta Bowl, a team they covered on NYD won the national title.

Oh wow, I was hoping someone would post this. Thanks. Do you have a link to the nfl theme this mimicked?

@jerseyfla 3 года назад

Knightmessenger I do. I’ll have to make a new video for it. Look for it soon!

@sherryhannah9262 2 года назад

I hope y’all will reply to this RIP Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson…….. I hope y’all can answer this question is Don Criqui still working as an announcer?????!!!!

I do not.

Do you have the NBC college theme that started in 1990?

@jerseyfla 4 года назад

Ciccone39 I do not. That’s probably the only NBC Sports theme that I don’t have a clean cut of.

@ciccone39 4 года назад

@@jerseyfla It seems to be a difficult piece to find. I've contacted an NBC composer named John Colby and he didn't make that one. I also got through to former NBC football director John Gonzalez and he had no idea who composed that music either.

@Knightmessenger 3 года назад

You mean for Notre Dame games or bowl games?

@ciccone39 3 года назад

@@Knightmessenger Bowl games like the 1990-95 Orange Bowls. All those years had that theme.
