    Now THIS is the sort of thing that a classic sports channel SHOULD be for, and what it was before ESPN bought it and ruined it. Maybe they're finally getting the message.

    EDIT: I see others beat me to this point. Also, although this is the right idea, I'd note that a couple of the choices do seem a bit odd -- not really classic games when there are myriad better choices involving the representative team out there -- but, hey, at least they're using the channel for its intended purpose again.

    Probably right on the broadcast rights, but the Fiesta last year was a Fox game. Almost all of the games on that list are ABC/ESPN deals, though 1994 Orange Bowl and 1981 Orange Bowl were on NBC.

    Is that 2003 Arkansas-Kentucky game one of the Hogs' numerous multiple overtime death matches?

    Watching the '81 Sugar Bowl, I had forgotten how horribly Georgia played on offense -- notwithstanding Herschel Walker's MVP performance -- to still win the game and the national championship.
