Alabama-Ole Miss, in the first televised prime-time game, and Scott Hunter and Archie Manning put on a helluva show.
Two questions, though.
1. If Mike Slive and the REC had been around, would Lawrence Welk have ended up falling up a flight of stairs?
2. If the internet (and especially the SEC Rant) had been around, would Archie's reputation have been irreparably harmed, a la Tim Tebow, when the national TV cameras caught him crying after the game?

Uh what? He set records that night that stood for over 40 years. How would his reputation have been harmed?

nobody outside of this forum gives a damn about posts in this forum. I highly doubt a manning, Archie or Peyton or otherwise has one concern about what a bunch of message boards 'think'...quoted purposefully.

Who here watched the game on Colour TV, or went to the game?

My dad was there... He and my mom were dating then, she was sick and stayed home to watch it... She said watching it in color during primetime was kinda surreal.

Watched it on Colour TV with my dad & uncle.
The Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame has 1 half of the game film; other is gone; don't remember which still exists.

I watched it felt it was something special,
Watched at the in laws on a color tv.

To put Manning's performance in perspective, no player had ever thrown for as many as 300 yards and rushed for 100 in a major-college game. Manning did all of that, and yet the No. 20 Rebels lost to the No. 15 Crimson Tide, 33-32.The Alabama quarterback that night, Scott Hunter, may have had his greatest night as a collegian, too. Hunter was 22-of-29 for 300 yards. LINK

Pretty crazy how much things have changed in less than 50 years.
