My favorite team used to play Tulane on Friday nights and often got upset. Of course, back then it was radio broadcasts. I loved those games.

and then in a bowl game, we used to listen to the radio for most games. Our local station was fine for day games, but it had to cut its power from 5000 watts to 500 at dusk. The old tube type Zenith AM radio couldn't pick out the signal after dark and we would have to sit out in the car which had a better reception, maybe due to a better antenna. My earliest memory of those games was Pat Trammell as Alabama's QB, so I must have been about five. Later it was Joe Namath in those early games I listened to with my dad.

Think that was the 50s early 60s. I really enjoyed listening to my favorite team on radio, they had a colorful announcer that made lots of lovable flubs.

Alabama? I was in Georgia.

Louisville is usually a very underrated football team. They have a good QB and very good running back.

The ACC seems to be an underrated conference and Miami(FL) has never won an ACC championship.

I was just rooting for a good game, I like both teams.
