[QUOTE="redmule, post: 272059, member: 1338"] IIRC, one of the local TV stations was the sponsor of the Tech game that day. Back then Tech sold sponsorships for the game. Different companies would pay to be the sponsor, and there would be company banner hanging around the stadium, and other types of special recognition. A different local station had the network rights to the game to televise it, so no way were they going to televise the game with their competition being the sponsor that day with their image all over the stadium. It would be like an ABC affiliate televising the game with the NBC affiliate's name on signs all around the stadium. So nobody televised the game, so there was no tape delay telecast. Ross's show was all the highlights I ever saw. It sucked that we beat them and Mays had his best game and only those in the stadium got to see it. That was almost 30 years ago, so my memory may be off some so take it with a grain of salt. [/QUOTE]
