One of the most amazing sports box sets out there
I am a fan of classic sports broadcasts and this DVD set is one of the best out there. I am really amazed at how they chose these games.
I love all the discs but I am going to choose three favorites:
The first disc features one of three Orange Bowls featuring Oklahoma. It involves the Oklahoma Sooners and the Michigan Wolverines from January 1976. It is the NBC broadcast with Jim Simpson (before he left in 1979 for the new ESPN) doing play-by-play and John Brodie with color commentary. The broadcast even includes Jim Simpson mentioning the new NBC logo that debuted that year. This DVD includes Sooner Illustrated's The Best of the Switzer Shows with Barry Switzer. This is a nice touch because it includes clips from both shows that Barry Switzer did in Oklahoma. What amazed me was that they mentioned the "Playback" show. The "Playback" show aired all across the nation for Oklahoma Sooner fans. This has to be one of my favorite DVDs on the box set.

Good for the OU video collector or general OU fan
Each game dvd has a chapter at the start of each quarter & sometimes if any pregame/postgame coverage.
1976 OB- 134 minutes long. An additional 35 minute video called "Sooner Illustrated's The best of the Switzer Shows is included on the dvd. The single sold dvd of this game has more related to this game than what was provided in the dvd set. There is additional 14 minutes of pregame, 25 minutes of halftime & 28 minute highlight film included in the singly sold dvd. The singly sold dvd does not have the "Best of Switzer Shows" video. Both dvd versions of the game have the best color, picture & sound I've seen of this game.
1986 OB- 142 minutes long. The single sold dvd of this game has a little more related to this game than what was provided in the dvd set. There is an additional 6 minutes of pregame, 6 minutes of halftime analysis & 2 minutes of postgame that is provided in the singly sold dvd. Both dvd versions of the game have the best color, picture...
memory lane
Wow...what a trip down memory lane. Seeing Bosworth, Holiway, Keith Jackson again brought back the goosebumps. Video quality ranges from above average to excellent....the only two things missing is the '71 game against the Cornhuskers and the 2001 Fed Ex Orange Bowl victory over FSU...packaging is steller, opens up to an aerial shot of what was then Owen's Field, filled to capacity, then continues to fold out into a tryptich with the OU ensigna to the left and the list of games to the right...could have come with a small handbook with game stats, etc...overall a definate must have for any Sooner fan...
