Dug this one up from the archives just for you. One of the best college football games ever.

 

[Tumbleweed]

Were you in the stands for that game Bryan?

 

[seminolecpa]

I was indeed. Was in the endzone Butler was running toward on the puntrooskie surrounded by Clemson fans. My freshman year.

My freshman year.

I didn't think they had video, let alone color video that long ago

It was probable recorded on a BetaMax

It was probable recorded on a BetaMax

Just in case you didn't know, BetaMax was used up until digital as the professional choice for broadcast quality video. VHS couldn't touch it in regards to quality.

Betamax lost to porn.

Technically it was BetaCam for high quality professionals. Quite different. Like a 3X tape speed for example.
So while BetaCam was WAY better, BetaMax was better, but debatably "WAY" better than VHS.
But sadly like so many things, quality is not a deciding factor.

A fun note :
The semi-modern digital HDCAM-SR formats use the same BetaCam tape mechanism, so some modern DVRs can still
actually play old BetaCam.
With the old VCR basically gone, perhaps Beta won in the end??

 

[seminolecpa]

Actually Florida State won in the end, though Clemson put up a very good fight.

Ehh - the refs let them have it.
Total luck.
The Butler did it.

I think we should give Richard a bio-diesel truck and bio-diesel chipper.
