While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, Vince Ferrara on 1420 AM in Tuscaloosa does a "Friday Flashback" usually around 7:35-7:40 where they play back the radio call of a past game. It usually is about 5-10 minutes; the playback jumps around to the big plays. Being in Tuscaloosa, I always try to plan my Friday morning commute to work so that I'm in the car for this.

I'll look out for that on Fridays, thanks for the info.While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, Vince Ferrara on 1420 AM in Tuscaloosa does a "Friday Flashback" usually around 7:35-7:40 where they play back the radio call of a past game.

Probably not. Auburn wasn't always a very good team during the 70's. That, combined with the television rules of the day (I think that was no more than 3 appearances in a two year time, excluding bowl games) did not lend itself to seeing the Iron Bowl every year. Back then, we only had ABC broadcasting college games - there was no ESPN, etc., to allow several games per week televised, and NO ONE dared play on Thursday unless it was a holiday. Most of the Iron Bowls from that era are going to be coaches tapes and highlight videos.Was there any Iron Bowls televised nationally during the '70's. Seems the oldest one we have is 1980. You'd think there would be older ones available.
