Best highlights that I've ever seen of the '74 Sun Bowl win over North Carolina. As an added bonus, the video is narrated by the late, great Lindsey Nelson who, if I'm not mistaken, called the game for CBS. The actual game footage starts around the 7:00 minute mark...enjoy...

My dad attended this game.

[Liverpooldawg]

Thank you for that! That team was what converted me from the dark side (and brought me back into good gracies with my all MSU family). I was 11.

[cujo]

Thanks for sharing.
PS Best uniforms ever

[TopDawg]

Thanks for posting, brought back many memories.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Very enjoyable to watch. I think this was the year of the come from behind win against Memphis when Felker went in for a two point conversion.

YES!! Still remember listening to Jack's call just like it was yesterday...what a thrill for an 11 year old kid who loved the Bulldogs. All those guys were my heroes...

[AROB44]

I remember that game and season well. We had a hell of a team then. Great players like Felker, Walter Packer, Harvey Hull....

[blacklistedbully]

Fun seeing Rockey Felker in his prime. Looks like a big, physical dude. Makes you wonder if the kids on our team know much about their director of player personnel and what he did as a player.

Don't forget All-American Jimmy Webb.

Rockey was offensive player of the year in the SEC

LOL at the "two offensive minded powerhouses lived up to their billing". Final score - 26-24.

Incredible! Thanks for posting!

I was thinking that too, but almost 900 total yards of offense was pretty incredible, especially in those days.

Seems like it was just yesterday! Great memories! thanks for posting!

[3rdGen]

Wow that is awesome music. And I knew about the snow bowl but not the swirling vapor bowl. ��

[msbulldog]

Bunch of my fraternity brothers went to the game. I couldn't go, because I was working at Giant Market (where The Lodge is now) and we had to take inventory.

Swirling Vapor Bowl sounds like a Hendrix song.

[JoseBrown]

My uncle was on the Sun Bowl Committee back then. They partied their Rebears off, from what I heard. He then went on to employ Bo Jackson and Little Train in college, while they never stepped in his business.... It was confirmed to me by little train himself about 8-9 years ago. I thought it was funny. My uncle is one of those guys that has stories about himself doing everything...

[spiral]

That is some cool video. Thanks for sharing.

I like the fedora? hat with MSU on it in the crowd.

I also thought it was funny seeing a fan with a sign: "Eat your heart out Ole Miss"

[wmccgc]

Amazing how similar our unis look to Alabama. Walter Packer was a great one.

[tcdog70]

LOL at the "two offensive minded powerhouses lived up to their billing". Final score - 26-24.

Virtrano and Packer rushed for well over 100 yards apiece.

[oldwave]

I was 12 years old. Was at several games that year including one of my all time favorites, Memphis. Still hunt from the same deer stand I was in that day listening to that bowl game.
Some of the players mentioned in this thread are still among my all time favorite Dogs. Fellker, Packer, Webb, Vitrano.... Damn good memories ����

[Reunion Dog]

i was there..... loved the tear-a-way jerseys..... Tyler knew how coach..

[msbulldog]

Virtrano and Packer rushed for well over 100 yards apiece.

Played high school ball against Vitrano, Bear Bryant was at that game. Walter Packer and I were freshman at the same time, we used to play pick-up BB games in the old building behind the freshman dorms that had a BB court and a laundromat.

[Dolphus Raymond]

Hearing those names during tha video caused me to become "un-stuck in time". Damn, I miss old school SEC football. Huddle, RUN the football and pass when you must. Does any team even use a fullback any more?Gentlemen, watch that video and remember, THAT was real football.

Rocky Felker ran the veer formation to perfection. He knew when to keep it and when to pitch it.

[boonedawg]

I was in the Famous Maroon Band then. The city of Starkville raised the money to send us. Great memories!

Swirling Vapor Bowl sounds like a Hendrix song.

Or something you would experience hanging out with Tunsil and the Kim-chee's.

[coastdoglover]

I was there, great players on that team, those mentioned previously and also Stan Black and Melvin Barnum. Had a ball in Juarez, don't think I will go there now.

I was conceived at this game. Good times.

Or they call you Sun, or something like that. You have quite a legacy there...

[cujo]

Virtrano and Packer rushed for well over 100 yards apiece.

They were loaded with talent.

[benbow]

It was cold as hell. Had a rare snow storm the day before we got there. Had to break the ice off of our seats with our cowbells. Vitrano and Packer ran wild. Dawgs took over Juarez. Good time was had by all.

[lastmajordog]

Now THAT:S football uniforms.....LOVE EM!!!!!!!!!

[SNAFU]

Thanks for posting, I remember watching that game.

[tcdog70]

Howard Lewis from Kosy was a true possession receiver , great hands. And Stan Black from Columbus would knock your dick in your watch pocket.

[Wet Dawg]

Video Gold!! thanks
