This aired on local Chicago TV on Saturday, January 12th 1974 during the 6pm to 6:30pm timeframe. The Museum of Classic Chicago Television's primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s and early 80s, primarily) recorded off of any and all Chicago TV channels; footage which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical purposes. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, and to view more of the 3,700+ (and counting) video clips available for viewing in our online archive, please visit us at http://www.FuzzyMemories.TV

Feb 1, 2012 - Please note Bruce Roberts' outstanding professionalism. During the late-1960s and early-1970s, he handled the postgame show for the network's NFL telecasts. One of my earliest memories as a child was watching him work in front of a HUGE board with all the scores. When talking golf while anchoring the sports, he was most noted for punctuating extremely long successful putts by saying that "the ball had EYES."

Feb 5, 2012 - This is awesome ! Thanks "Fuzzy" ! Can you believe over 2 1/2 minutes of highlights from the Senior Bowl !?! Nowadays local news will probably show 3 plays at most, if they mention it at all. Everything is over in the wink of an eye, but this was great to watch and enjoy !

Feb 26, 2012 - They started videotaping stories in the late 70s
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)

Feb 1, 2012 - Some well-known names in that Senior Bowl clip, Danny White starred with Dallas, John Cappaletti, the only Heisman winner under Paterno, and Lynn Swann collected quite a few Super Bowl rings with the Steelers, something the Vikings Still have not won. Wonder if they proceeded with that side bet?
