NOTE: There is one glaring omission that I made in the video. For some reason, I forgot to mention that Super Bowl XVII was hosted in Pasadena as well, so in actuality, the stadium hosted three more Super Bowls after this
I had to rewind because it was there 3 more times at the Rose Bowl. It happens! I do believe the last time it hosted the Super Bowl was a last-minute replacement. Tempe, Arizona was supposed to host the big game, but because the state not honoring MLK Day as a holiday, the NFL moved it to Pasadena.
No problem. Just make an all new video entitled The Most Glaring Omission in the History of JaguarGator videos. You can provide a backstory to how you forgot about the SB XVII matchup between the Dolphins and Redskins, talk about the strike in 1982, show highlights from the game etc. Just busting balls.
The biggest disaster occurred at my house. I was a kid flipping through stations to find something to watch, and suddenly discovered the Steelers were two minutes from winning the game. My family had forgotten the Super Bowl was on.
The Los Angeles Rams had a rookie Center on this team who was on injured reserve this season from the University of Colorado. His name is Leon White. He is more well known as Big Van Vader of Professional Wrestling fame.
I think he was in his second year and actually did play in the game. He was rookie in 1978 and the Rams went to the Super Bowl for the 1979 season. Shockingly, Wikipedia has it wrong.
@@mrmoose6619 I was thinking I was wrong because of several sources that said the superbowl was his rookie year but I finally found a source that said otherwise. Not trying to be a Karen I just love my 1970s NFL.
@@ac9559 I appreciate fact checking and took that in the best possible light. I am a fan of Leon's work in wrestling and wanted to make the connection since not everyone may know that he played NFL football before his pro wrestling career.
And that’s before addressing that the announcers for this game - Pat Summerall & Tom Brookshire - were out late the night before the game and CBS was not happy with their performance calling this game which prompted them to split them up after the 1980 season & begin a search for a new lead broadcasting team Somewhere in an alternate yet somewhat similar universe CBS’ lead team was John Madden & Vin Scully
Brookshier, a few years later, would remark after plugging an upcoming Lousiville basketball game on CBS, that "they have a collective IQ of about 40, but they can play basketball." That earned him a suspension for the final week of the season and while he called games through 1987, he quickly began sliding down the depth chart.
Yep, that sounds like Summeralll & Brookshire; Don Meredith & Howard Cosell were also known to tip a few for Monday Night (talk about rowdy, and erudite, friends!).
The late, great John Facenda quoted the '79 Steelers this way in their team highlight film: "There are 27 teams in pro football..... and then, there are the Pittsburgh Steelers."
I attended a regular season UCLA-Stanford game at the Rose Bowl in 1984 and it was the worst parking situation I’d ever encountered. The grassy field parking areas had no lights. Finding my car took forever.
This is the first Super Bowl I can remember watching and actually recalling any details from. It was also the best Super Bowl I ever saw until the one where Elway got his first by beating the Packers, 20 years later. I had never heard it was such a disaster off the field.
The Rose Bowl would also host Super Bowl 17. This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 9 historian will remind everyone you made two videos about this game, one about a key play in the third quarter and one which was a re-air of the halftime show.
And WHILE you are doing THAT CTubeMan don't forget to SPIKE a football into the ground on EVERY single OFFENSIVE play to get your OFFICIAL 39.6 rating. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
3:27 #89 is defensive end Fred Dryer. After his playing career, Fred went onto fame in Hollywood. He was one of the original choices to play Sam Malone on Cheers which he didn't get but made sporadic appearances on Cheers as newscaster and Sam's friend Dave Richards. He gained stardom when he was cast as detective Rick Hunter on the TV show Hunter which ran for 8 seasons. He also starred in the action movie Death Before Dishonor. His most recent movie was 2018's Bumblebee.
Didn't the idea of Nash Bridges evolve with Hunter S Thompson telling Don Johnson he should do another cop show at a party that Fred Dryer was hosting. Or am I some wack a doodle hearing a bizarre tall tale.

He started out as "The Blue Chipper" always smiling face(good guy) and the moment he turned heel(bad guy) he became a huge star. Now he's the most sought after and biggest star in Hollywood.
I find it hilarious how the Rams had legit great teams in the 70's, in some years probably the best team in their conference yet can never beat the Cowboys or Vikings, yet this 9-7 Rams team is who managed to make the SB.
@@Rockhound6165 NFC-1 DAL in divisional round which was Staubach’s last game, at TB for the NFC Champ by the score of 9-0 Why NFC-1 DAL? Because PHI won the Wild Card game & the playoff structure at the time was no divisional matchups in the divisional round Rewind to 1976: 3)LA upset 2)DAL, but the Rams season ended at Metropolitan Stadium
@@mjwatts1983 think of it though. Tampa was just 1 season removed from their combined 2-26 beginning. They went from 0-14 to 2-12 to 5-11 to 10 points from the Super Bowl.
I still can't believe my Bucs didn't make it there. Of all the Rams teams of the '70s, how did this one make it to the Super Bowl? The NFL can be so strange.
The biggest disaster was made by Rams CB Eddie Brown, who ignored a double-team on John Stallworth, that resulted in a 73-yard touchdown that gave the Steelers the lead.
JG9, look into the disaster at Super Bowl XVI with regards to traffic keeping the 49ers from arriving on time, and the countless number of stolen wallets inside the stadium.
Excellent video! I clearly remember the game but I didn’t know the backstory behind the logistics. It’s interesting that the game was played there in 1993, 1983, and 1987 as well
As far as Super Bowl "regions" go, you have to mention the Detroit Super Bowl between the Steelers and the Seahawks. While Detroit is eight hours away from Pittsburgh, so it can't be considered "near", so MANY Steelers fans packed the stands that NO other Super Bowl, not even last year's or the ones you mentioned which played within a team's region, ever had such a "home" field advantage for one team.
@Chris Smith Even in that case, there were fewer 49ers fans in the stands than Steelers fans in Detroit. Another honorable mention is the Rams-Patriots Super Bowl a few years ago. Patriots fans weren't as loud as Steelers fans, but they were the ONLY fans you heard. I don't think I heard ANY cheering for the Rams and I only saw one or two people in the stands wearing Rams paraphrenalia. I'm sure it would have been a much different case if it were the ST. LOUIS Rams playing against the Patriots.
I drove to that Super Bowl from Pittsburgh. Could only afford it because I just needed SB tickets and hotel. Didn’t also have to pay for plane tickets. There were so many Steelers fans walking around downtown Detroit on Saturday, and during the game the “Here we go Steelers” chant started up every couple of minutes. It the Fadt Willie Parker TD still the longest rushing touchdown in the Super Bowl?
You act like the 1979 los ángeles rams got to the supet bowl by buying and winning some sort of super bowl lottery ticket? It's not unheard of for teams to have a average regular season then excel in the playoffs, the 67 packers and the 80 Raiders come to mind. Of course the opposite is way more common. In 1979( a overall weak NFC season) the rams beat a highly talented dallas cowboys 11-5 ( I was 12 years old and remember the exciting game, I think you can watch it on RU-vid) and a cinderella tampa bay buccaneers 10-6 and gave the favored pittsburgh steelers a run for their money for most of the game.
That Ram team was riddled with injuries all season long, and got healthy by playoff time. That same Ram team defeated the Steelers in the regular season in 1978. They matched up well, especially defensively.
There’s a good reason for that. The Rams’ defensive coordinator was Bud Carson, who from 1973-1977 was the defensive coordinator for the Steelers…so he developed pretty much one of the best defenses of all time, the Steel Curtain. Terry Bradshaw noted that the Super Bowl against the Rams was such tough sledding because Carson knew all their plays and signals. Incidentally the play that finally put a dagger in the Rams’ fans hearts…60 Prevent Slot Hook and Go…had been installed during practice week precisely to counter Carson knowing their plays. Only problem is every time they tried it in practice, it failed because the safety in defense that was back to help kept coming over and broke it up. But it worked in the game for what was ultimately the winning touchdown pass…because the help in safety blew his coverage and DIDN’T come over. So TD (even though Bradshaw was off with the throw and Stallworth had to catch it over his wrong shoulder). They did use it a second time and this time the safety did come over…but it was a better throw and Bradshaw still got it in there…this time the safety prevented a TD.
Your point is well taken. I believe Bradshaw even stated that Jack Reynolds seemed to have an answer for everything the Steelers tried. My point is that the video made the Rams out to be a talentless fluke. That Ram team knocked the defending NFC champion Cowboys out of the playoffs, and had the defending Superbowl champs on the ropes for 3 qtrs.
@@jimdog6014 Agreed there was some real talent on that team…and until he got intercepted by Lambert late, Vince Ferragamo played a nearly flawless game.
@@jonemeigh5588 let's not forget Nolan Cromwell dropped a sure interception with nothing but the end zone in front of him. That would have put the Rams up 26-17.
Biggest omission: it was the Rams’ final season in LA before leaving for Anaheim, thus driving some of the hometown resentment the team experienced that year. The domino, in fact, that set Al Davis vs NFL in motion.
There is a difference between the game being a disaster and how the game was run being a disaster. You can do better. As for the parking, that's how politicians think. When there is a bad situation (for example, limited parking) their solution is to make it worse. I was living in Los Angeles then, and let me say that there were no stories that night about the parking. All the stories were about the game. Do you understand that anywhere from 1/4" to 1/2" of rain is NOTHING! The Game wasn't a disaster.
6:40 ok i can be quiet about walking from FedExField to Morgan Blvd. Metro Subway Station. Thats a mile or so, but 14 miles of walking to the Rose Bowl?
@@0320emo The Rams were never meant to be in St Louis. They're too small of a market and not considered a football city. That was all then-owner Georgia Fronitere's doing because it's where she was from.
And 1987 when LT & the Giants knocked around Elway plus 1993 when Dallas destroyed Buffalo 52-17! So in a span of 16 years the Rose Bowl hosted 5 Super Bowls? Damn that’s crazy
Other than the Rose Bowl itself, UCLA's football team play their home games there these days. UCLA, however, want to build a stadium closer to the campus (although I cannot see that happening any time in the future).
The RAMS were decimated by injuries over the course of the 1979 season and their roster was still depleted when they played Super Bowl XIV. If you want to talk about the "worst" team to ever make it to a Super Bowl, I'd suggest any of Bud Grant's clown shows. Their 'performances' in the games bears out my assertion.
Fun fact about this Super Bowl as well, this Super Bowl was illegally featured in the 1981 Italian Slasher film Absurd. They wanted to make the movie more accessible to an American audience, so they decided to make the movie take place the night of the Super Bowl. They even show footage from the game in the movie. At the Super Bowl party everyone is dressed up, the men in suits and the women in dresses. It's really funny to see.
I went to LA Galaxy games there during their first couple of years in existence and the parking was bad there even when they were only drawing 20,000 fans. The other big problem is that there is only one way to get in or out and that really creates a traffic nightmare. This is one of the reasons why they limit the amount of events that can be held there, especially concerts.
The Rose Bowl parking situation was/is so bad that during both the 1994 World Cup & the 1999 Women's World Cup, the organizers & FIFA had to rent charter buses to transport fans to & from the Rose Bowl which was free of charge for fans with a ticket.
A little off topic maybe, but also kinda cool, but there's a low budget, but pretty good 1981 horror movie that uses this Super Bowl as the back drop for its climax. Movie is called "Absurd" if anyone is interested.
And the Super Bowl will never be played in the Rose Bowl again. I believe the Tournament of Roses and Pasadena officials won't let the NFL ever touch that stadium again.
It's a very old venue in any event. The NFL prefers newer venues for Super Bowls. There are a number of Super Bowl venues that have since been demolished, including one that opened in my lifetime, the Georgia Dome. The only reason the Rose Bowl is still standing is because of its sentimental value. The idea of building a new stadium in Pasadena is considered blasphemous.
I remember watching the Rams as a kid when they played in Anaheim Stadium I lived a few blocks away from the stadium And my parents would always buy me season tickets to the Rams and Angels games. And I remember during football season I'd ride my bike over to the stadium and watch the games I'm so happy they're back in the Super bowl
@@Davepool-hs7vr It, was, that, and, the fact that it, eventually, got an owner from St., Louis, that, later, were, the impetus, for, the, (temporary), move, that simple.

@@OfficialJaguarGator9 Shit happens. What are your thoughts on Washington calling themselves the Commanders (even though they'll only command fourth place in the NFC East!)?
Pasadena didn't win a bid for SB XXVII, but got it by default. Tempe as supposed to host it in Jan 1993, but the NFL pulled it due to AZ Gov Evan Mecham cancelling Martin Luther King Day as a state holiday. There were national and entertainment boycott's of Arizona and the NFL and it's owners finally decided to take the Super Bowl away from them. I don't know why they chose Pasadena besides already having hosted before. It may just be the closest NFL ready stadium at 6 hours away. But they could have just as easily held it in San Diego again. Arizona would officially make MLK a holiday, the last state to do so. The governor would be impeached for other things. And Tempe would get SB XXX in 1996.
@Fries Yes, Super Bowl XXVII was the last to be played in a non-NFL stadium. As to San Diego-Jack Murphy Stadium not hosting the game, this was before they fully enclosed the stadium (funnily enough, more people attended the pre-expansion Super Bowl {XXII} than either of the post-expansion Super Bowls).
Coincidentally Super Bowls XXVII & XXX featured the Dallas Cowboys All 3 Cowboys 90s wins were on NBC because the pattern got messed up due to the changing TV deals & the 1992 Winter Games Starting w/II: Even numbered games were on CBS, Odd numbered games on NBC Then ABC joined the mix starting with Super Bowl XIX, followed by NBC XX, CBS XXI Divisible by 3 = CBS Then after that ABC, NBC Until 1991 when CBS wanted XXVI as their lead in to the Winter Games… and the halftime show was a disaster NBC got XXVII & then XXVIII via a special bid ABC XXIX, NBC XXX, Fox XXXI, NBC XXXII The pattern was somewhat restored when Fox aired XXXIII Fox: divisible by 3 Then ABC, CBS When NBC took over SNF, they replaced ABC in the rotation Fox: Divisible by 3 Then NBC, CBS And then CBS & NBC swapped spots because NBC wanted the Super Bowl as their lead in to the 2022 Winter Games much like how Super Bowl LII was 4 years earlier And now ABC-ESPN is part of the rotation in the new TV contract Fox gets Super Bowl LVII, then games in the affiliated season divisible by 4. Example: 2024 season, divisible by 4, that season’s Super Bowl (LIX) will be on Fox NBC gets games divisible by 4 as part of Winter Games lead-in. Super Bowls LX, LXIV, LXXII… CBS gets games divisible by 2 but not 4 (LVIII, LXII, LXVI) Other games: ABC-ESPN (LXI, LXV, maybe LXIX if the pattern holds which would be nice)
I'd like to see a video on how Coach of the Year and MVP voting works, particularity how Mike Smith managed to win three Coach of the Year awards and then never get another head coaching job again.
In, MLB, at, least, when, four, teams made the, Playoffs, the, best, player on the, second-best, Playoff, team, usually, won, barring something historic, COTY, goes to the coach that does, more, with, less, again, barring something historic, variances, occur, though.
@@matthewdaley746not true. Mike Schmidt won 3 MVP's. 1980, the year the Phillies won the World Series, 1981 the strike year when they were knocked out in the first ever divisional playoff, and in 1986 when they finished 22 games behind the Mets. In 1987 Andre Dawson was named MVP while the Cubs finished in last place. Cal Ripken won the MVP in 1991 when the Orioles finishes in 6th. There are other instances but MVP usually goes to the player who simply dominates like Schmidt in '81 who put up numbers in an abbreviated season that most players couldn't do in a full season back then.
@@Rockhound6165 Like, I said, variances, occur, in, 1987, Ozzie Smith led the, Cardinals to the, World Series, but, he hit exactly, zero, HRs, they, weren't, giving him the, MVP, in, 1986, the, Mets, and, Astros, didn't have an offensive star, in, 1991, the, Twins, and, Blue Jays, didn't, either, you just, never, know.
The 1979 Rams were beset by injuries, and that's the primary reason they had what was for them a subpar season. But the Rams were the dominant team in the NFC West throughout the 1970s. They just weren't able to get over the hump in the playoffs prior to 1979. Also, The Rams were one of the few teams that gave the Steelers trouble in the '70s. They played each other the previous season at The Coliseum, and the Rams won a defensive struggle 10-7 (which JG9 made a video of a while back).
The, 1979, Steelers would have, lost, to the Chargers, because, they, already, had, by, 1980, their decline, was, painfully, obvious, they, only, reached the, 1982, Playoffs, because, of, "The, Strike," idiotically, passing on Dan Marino the year, after, would seal their fate until, 2004.
@@matthewdaley746LOL, I retract my previous statement. I stupidly didn't see STEELERS. I apologize. However, I'm right when it comes to baseball MVP's.
@@Rockhound6165 No problem, I, also, should have been clearer, and, removed my post, as, for, MLB, MVPs, you're, right, for, the, most, part, though, you can, never, be certain, in, 1988, Kevin McReynolds, and, Darryl Strawberry, had, better, numbers, than, Kirk Gibson, but, they had a, better, team, (in theory), and, he would, win, it.
@@CTubeMan He, won, the, Cy Young Award, it's rare, for, that to happen, Vida Blue, won, both, in, 1971, despite, his team, losing, in the, ALCS, Dennis Eckersley, also, accomplished this special feat in, 1992.
Whenever there is a big event at the Rose Bowl (>20K); parking will be a hassle. The stadium, though in a beautiful location, is also a victim of where it is. Said location, at the bottom of the Arroyo Seco, is surrounded by one of the ritziest neighborhoods in Pasadena that is also hilly. The closest mass transit stop today (which did not exist in 1980) is miles away on Old Town Pasadena, and requires an uphill walk. An unavoidable part of the stadium's problem is when it was built, 1923, and the utterly different planning considerations that were in effect at that time (also, the stadium was built above a landfill). If any game, concert, or other event is put on sale for the Rose Bowl, any true Angeleno carefully weighs whether or not they really need or want to go to said event to this day.
In that same vein, in, Washington, D.C., there's, also, a, Metro, stop, for, the, Zoo, but, you have to walk, over, a mile, uphill, the stop, right, after, is, both, closer, and, downhill, but, as it's in, Maryland, they don't label it, as, such-bewilderingly.
Poor Vince Ferragamo. On a football related side note. In 1981 he played a year in the CFL for the Montreal Alouettes. He only played there for one year because after the 81 season the franchise folded. To this day. Many Alouettes and CFL fans blame Ferragamo’s contract for the demise of the original franchise.
To this day, Warren Moon blames, racism, and, (temporarily), losing, his starting job to Cody Carlson, for, the accusations of, sexual harassment, and, domestic violence, that, were, levied, against, him.
@@matthewdaley746 warren moon is also to blame for that 35-3 choke job as well. keep throwing the ball warren on third down and not converting and keep giving explosive bills offense the ball back warren.
@@stevenbauer4799 Yeah, I get the feeling the Oilers wanted to bench him, for, that-unquestionably, but, were, afraid the public would scream, "That's racist."
The Rose Bowl looks great on TV but it's a pretty bare bones stadium. There will never be another Super Bowl there. TBH I would not be surprised if the NCAA and ABC start pressuring the Rose Bowl organizers to move the game to SoFi.
Rams were not “worst” team to reach Super Bowl. It was more of a stumble for a team that was so good over the decade, they tied Cowboys for best record over 10 year period. If they didn’t have a glaring hole at QB that kept them from getting past Staubauch or Tarkenton
Don't forget the ticket fiasco for 1994 Rose Bowl, in which Wisconsin fans went all the way to Pasadena, tickets and all, only to be told that the capacity for the stadium was reduced from the usual 100 G to 92 G. Needless to say, these fans never got a refund and were pissed, just like SB 45, must be a Wisconsin thing.
Yup. And people got sold tickets without actual seats. Jerry Jones didn’t finish the stadium on time. Or at least didn’t get all the certifications and whatnot approved in time.
Hopefully they will not allow that annoying public address announcer In the stadium..... I think he believes he made a difference in the game outcome/ crowd noice......Ugh....
I was 10 years old and this is the 2nd Super Bowl I had ever watched, the 1st being Super Bowl 13 a year earlier. I had no idea that other stuff was happening until this video. Was an excellent game though.
Remember watching part of this game at a place called Raleigh hills, it was a rehab facility in the Costa Mesa Newport Beach area, my mom was there to basically "Dry" out, I was struggling with drinking myself. She passed in 2003, I had quit drinking in early 1999, sober ever since. And the game, remember Lynn Swanns incredible catches. Think that pretty much sealed it for the Steelers.
Despite the location of Raleigh Hills, it was not a fancy area. As I recall. And, on the cost of a SB ticket I think the first one in 1967, @ the LA Colosseum was about $12.50, for next Sundays game @ SoFi stadium, think I saw a quote of about $7,700? Is that right?, Jeez, you'd think with the Pandemic still going on, there would be some kind of price break?
They kept Terry Bradshaw a year too, long, and, fell, short, for, two, decades, they, idiotically, kept Ben Roethlisberger a year too, long, too, stay tuned.
I believe he said on Twitch that he had no problem with calling a play given whom Andy Reid was trusting to make a play (a smart, MVP-caliber quarterback Patrick Mahomes), but the play itself didn't work. Based on how I understand the Dumb Decisions series, that play doesn't qualify because of the elements that could have been in place to make the call work. It was a dumb decision, but not a Dumb Decision, as in one that looks bad from the outset. Personally, I would have kicked the field goal there to extend the lead to 24-3, but the right play call could have made it 28-3. Whether that buries the Bengals or not is a whole different question.
Terry Bradshaw had to be talked out of spiking the ball on ground on 3rd down. That play that was done instead was a 75 yard touchdown pass to John Stallworth.
Too, bad, he, later, talked the Steelers into passing on Dan Marino, they thought he still had a, long, career ahead of him, we all know, how, that story, ended.
@@matthewdaley746 wow only five of them? Some players seem to have played forever. but not with the same team. And what about clay matthews? It seems like he was a brown forever? I guess he finished as a falcon.
In Superbowl 45 or 2012 the problem was not that the seats did not exist, they were going to put in more seating to the stadium but then some safety people blocked the ruling of having extra seating on the corners in spots where the view was not blocked due to fire safety when this was not the actual case but due to how the extra seating was made. The people in charge messed up and could not even call the right move for the temporary seating. The people in charge fixed this problem of the first type of seating to be a different style to get the view and failed to have it be safe yet could have been fixed in time just they refused to let people do so.
Back then Super Bowl tickets were very affordable which is why real fans attended the games. Wasn't until the 80's when the Super Bowl became more corporate and tickets, at least to the actual fans, became rare to get. When I was in high school, my bus driver used to tell us he went to many Super Bowls including Super Bowl III. The first Super Bowl tickets topped out at $12.
Rams had some cats: Jackie Slater and Dennis Harrah, up front! I saw Nolan Cromwell, one of the best safeties in the business. I saw "Hunter," Fred Dryer. The Youngbloods! Lawrence McCutcheon, at RB. This is a different game if starting QB Pat Hayden isn't hurt!
Steelers still win ,at that point they've defeated more decorated teams than rams led by more accomplished QB 's then Haden in previous sb wins . Not coincidentally Steelers successfully rallyed for victories in 3 SB victories,10,13:and cemented a victory with a 4th qtr td in sb 9 , meaning the Steelers win vs rams in sb 14 was inevitable, regardless of who was qb for the rams because Pittsburgh was accustomed to every sb circumstances and had proceeded to successfully navigating the SB game terrain turbulence ,leaving with Lombardi trophy's in all 3 former encounters . Pat Haden wasn't altering SB history .

@@TimmyTickle The number of parking spaces needed to reflect that, though. The large capacity can work against you if there's not enough parking near the venue.

The real disaster was how 9-7 rams leading at the half with franco and swann out still couldn't stop tb to stallworth as super steelers win their fourth s b.
