re: ESPN fans - welcome to 1979

First College football game broadcast by ESPN:

#20 LSU - #1 USC

Sept.29 1979

The white banners on the fence are ESPN signs.
There were three broadcast teams, USC, LSU and ESPN all had one.

The copy of the LSU broadcast team is the hardest to get a copy of today.


I was there with my brother in law, he wore USC colors by mistake, the crowd stood the whole game and cheered. The fans stayed after the game and were still cheering until Mac brought the team out of one more time, long after the game.
