Remember when all the minor bowls were on something called the Mizlou Network? Channel 11 in New York picked up the games. The Garden State Bowl was on tape delay because they wanted to sell tickets. Then ESPN took over the bowls

Yep.. the Tangerine Bowl, Astro Bluebonnet Bowl , Cherry Bowl, etc…miss those days...Bluebonnet Bowl
the old bowl system was great IMO, loved seeing all the schools listed a couple weeks before in the paper as potential picks for each ball and of course we didnt have participation trophy bowls like we do now
Wasn’t The Independence Bowl on that one as well?
The cincy loss was a killer. We also had a putrid offensive performance in a win against West Virginia that hurt. .Was always like the first bowl and tge lowest on the totem pole...RU would appear occasionally as a potential participant
Was the year we were 7-4 after losing to Cincy we got passed up by 6-5 Oregon vs 7-4 Wake Forest
Before Mizzlou was the real pioneer, CD Chesley, with the ACC and NCAA Basketball Tourneys. It was replaced by Raycom. There was another network that did SEC Saturday Night football around the time but don't remember the name.Remember when all the minor bowls were on something called the Mizlou Network?

Didn't they also have the Freedom Bowl in Anaheim?
Bowl reps were there and saw that offensive performance right after the cincy loss.A win is a win..that win over wvu was huge
We laid an egg against a shitty Cincy team at night on a rainy night
Just wondering if with all the automatic tie ins if bowl reps still even go to see teams play? If so that's a job I want.Bowl reps were there and saw that offensive performance right after the cincy loss.
From what I heard, they weren’t impressed with the wvu win.
They still do! Not as corrupt as FIFA but still...Just wondering if with all the automatic tie ins if bowl reps still even go to see teams play? If so that's a job I want.
Yup. We were listening on the radio in our apartment on Condict St (now a high-rise) and I put my fist through a wall sometime in the 4th quarter. Cinci has been the biggest "thorn" in "our side" for 3-decades now!A win is a win..that win over wvu was huge

It's still running in Shreveport, LouisianaThe Independence Bowl was in Mississippi or Louisiana as I recall.
Merle HarmonDeRogatis makes two! One more. Here's a clue:
"On July 1, 1987, at 3:00pm EDT. ?????? was the first voice heard on WFAN Sports Radio 1050 in New York. His recorded call of the New York Jets winning Super Bowl III was played prior to Suzyn Waldman’s first live update."
Sam DeLuca was his partner on the Jets broadcasts??Merle Harmon
My memory is getting a little fuzzy, but I seem to recall prior to MSG being a channel, I believe the Knicks and Rangers were on HTN. Then HTN either became MSG or was born from it. We had cable TV growing up in the early 70's and I always recalled the HTN banner.or Hughes Television Network (HTN) although I think they did basketball games in the Big Ten and ACC.
Very good.Merle Harmon
