Congratulations on the commencement of this channel. Good luck with everything.....Great first video. The quality of the story is outstanding. I have no doubts this channel, Jaguargator8, will be just as amazing as Jaguargator9. Excellent video on the 1972 Rose Bowl and the "no game plan" by Stanford.
I think part of the reason for the Stanford upset despite Michigan looking so unbeatable was that Michigan played a Charmin-Soft schedule. Going into the Rose Bowl, they hadn't played a single team that would end the season ranked. Only 3/11 of their games were against teams that would finish with a winning record, the best of those 3 winning records being a 7-4 Northwestern team.
Stanford had won the previous Rose Bowl. This was a repeat victory for them. And they got to play THEIR rendition of the National Anthem. It is a spine tingling piece of work. And although Stanford practiced at Long Beach City college, Michigan spent three days at Disneyland.
Congratulations on the start of another exciting venture! This unofficial Official Jaguar Gator 8/9 historian will remind everyone the first history video on “9” was about another game in the Rose Bowl. That game, Super Bowl 21, featured John Elway, who went to Stanford.
Erik Howard, a rookie for the Giants, went to Wazzu, who memorably went 67 years between Rose Bowls (and were garbage most of that time) In 1971 they somehow upset the 10th ranked and eventual Rose Bowl champ in Palo Alto 24-23
John Ralston was going to have a game plan of spiking the ball to the ground on every play. Hopefully, we’ll get a full video of the 1998 Bourbon Bowl.
Until I watched this vid, I never knew that Stanford's original mascot was the Indian, which led me to search and discover where the Cardinal name came from. Great stuff, as always, JG8.
Jwex1997 here, congrats on the new channel! You think you could breakdown the infamous story on the time Tommy Tuberville ditched the Texas Tech recruits at dinner to sneak out of the restaurant and take the Cincinnati job?
I forgot they used to be known as the Indians. I have a feeling Ralston had a basic game plan, but he didn't want to install it until the last second because he didn't want Schembechler to get wind of it. Oh, and congrats on the first video of the new channel!
Excellent opening video which makes me want to hear more college football stories... yet satisfies me in its own right. All the best JG for a successful 8 channel...
Thank for adding this new channel! I love college football! This was the last rose bowl game played before I was old enough to watch. I heard of this game but I didn’t see it .
You did a terrific job with the launch of this new channel. You didn't do anything different from the Pro channel. I look forward to future videos from both channels.
I don't know how Stanford pulled this upset with no real game plan, but it did it! Also, I knew the Big Ten didn't have at-large bowl berths back then, but I didn't know the then-Pac-8 had a similar rule. Thank goodness that rule was dropped. I guess this is why some legacy members of those 2 conferences don't have the bowl histories of some SEC programs.
You said "If Michigan wins, they have a legitimate shot at the very least of splitting the national championship and maybe even winning it outright depending on how the other games played out." I'm guessing you're saying this to make the stakes higher than they really were. Michigan was unbeaten coming into the game but they were ranked 4th in both polls. The winner of the Orange Bowl between Nebraska and Alabama was winning it. Michigan's best hope was get some first place votes but they probably end up 3rd if they won.
Stanford was the Indians until the late 70's, changed the name to the color Cardinal, because of some woke people of that era , the name Indians was demeaning to a certain race of people.
Ummm...this is the same season where Oklahoma set an NCAA record that still stands by averaging 472 yards rushing per game. No one in their right mind thought Michigan had the best running game in the country during the 1971 season, or that Michigan was better than Nebraska, the defending national champion who went 13-0 and beat those Sooners.
Gotta agree. Michigan was behind NU, OU, Colorado (which people forget lost only to Nebraska and Oklahoma) and an Alabama team that would get hammered by Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
Not the first time Stanford was involved in a 13 - 12 upset that season. On November 13th, then 10th-ranked Stanford hosted their long-time patsy, 3-4-1 San Jose State, only to fall 13-12. That loss was the third time Stanford lost immediately after reaching the top 10 that season.
@@shous99 I was 10. My family was heading to Santa Cruz and stopped at Summit Rd to get some snacks, and the end of the game was on the radio. I've followed the Spartans ever since.
@@gregster61 I was 12, went to the game as a field trip for Junior High, I went to SLV, was born in Santa Cruz, I ended up going to SJSU as well. We might have passed you and the family on our way back after the game to Felton. Very small world.
A few weeks earlier they lost to Wazzu (who hired future Stanford head coach Jack Elway as an offensive assistant the next year), who literally had no home for two years--Rogers Field was burnt down and they played two seasons up in Spokane while Martin Stadium was being built
Great video, and I love the series---but you have way too high an opinion on Michigan...they were at best the fifth best team in the nation, behind Nebraska (the '71 team is consistently considered one of the best of all time), Oklahoma (which was robbed of immortality when they lost the "Game of the Century" to Nebraska) and Colorado, which only lost to NU and OU with one of their best teams of all time. And don't forget Alabama, which was ranked #2 going into the bowls before Nebraska gutted them. Stanford saw a Wolverine team ripe for the picking, and after defeating a far better Ohio State team the year before, they had no fear of the Big Ten champs.
if it was known that stanford didn't have a game plan and michigan was such a great team then when stanford won then it must have confounded the gamblers
Michigan wasn't a great team. The Big 10 rep would almost always go to the Rose Bowl back then and get beat. The Big 10 wasn't very good in that era. In the previous Rose Bowl, Ohio State was unbeaten and three-loss Stanford beat them by 10.
@@johncate9541 There was actually a 13-year stretch from '69-81 in which either Ohio St. or Michigan went to the Rose Bowl, which tells you all you need to know about the rest of the Big 10. Their combined bowl record during this time was 3-10.
Dangit, lol....I'm a longtime Michigan fan....so OF COURSE the first video on this channel is something about a game Michigan lost! What are you gonna cover next, their infamous loss to Appalachian State, or maybe the Kordell Stewart to Michael Westbrook hail mary where Colorado beat Michigan at the last second? LOL....but I should have known that was coming when I realized this was about a Michigan bowl game when Bo was coaching. Great coach, but his bowl record was NOT good, only 5-12 actually Also, speaking about the Rose Bowl, another idea for a video perhaps....there was the controversial 1973 Michigan vs OSU game. It ended in a 10-10 tie, and afterward the Big 10 held a vote to decide which team would go on to the Rose Bowl, which OSU won. The rule about how they wouldn't let a Big Ten team go to the Rose Bowl two years in a row had been repealed a few years earlier, and actually if it had still been in place, Michigan would have gone.
"thunder chicken" sounds like a bad 70s cartoon series 😂😂😂
Well. for that matter, around that time there was a cartoon series "Super Chicken" that aired in that era on the show "George of the Jungle".
@@garythompson7462 yeah I remember super chicken, so funny, it's up there with roger ramjet

Been loving your channel for a while and can’t be any more thrilled that college football is getting covered!
Yeah I thought sooner or later he was gonna create a College Football channel because why wouldn't he.

Love the new channel brother.
Here for your first official story video on the channel. Best of luck Jaguar!
YES!! So pumped you are doing college football now......this will be great!
Congratulations on the new channel! Can’t wait to see the content here!

This was the last game they used the Indians.
@@vdubproductions2646 Their QB for that game would later be drafted by the Redskins, too.
And his backup was previous JG subject "WORST PRO BOWLER EVER" Mike Boryla
So uh when and why did Stanford changed their name to the Cardinal?
@@acmodelmaster1944 political correctness
Excellent opening video which makes me want to hear more college football stories... yet satisfies me in its own right. All the best JG for a successful 8 channel...

Congrats on the new channel. Huge fan of your vids.
This is going to be a great channel hopefully we get stories about Miami #canes #uofmiami
Good to see you are doing college football stuff now too. Theres so much more controversy and interesting stories in the NCAA.
Yeah we got split champions in multiple seasons which is bonkers. 😅
So hyper for more content
Love the content topics
Love the new channel
Great job and I’m excited for the new channel
Sometimes things just work when you wing it. Its like writing a school paper the night before its due.
There we go, successful first video on the College ranks
You did a terrific job with the launch of this new channel. You didn't do anything different from the Pro channel. I look forward to future videos from both channels.
Please do a video on that stupid BIG 10 bowl rule of not going back to back.
Awesome Channel and look forward to seeing this channel grow and the dope content you always produce
Fuck yea man! My man Jaguargator9 tackles college football!!! Yesssss
Ever consider collaborating with that JaguarGator9 guy? I think you two would have a lot in common.

Bring back the pineapple, I like that we need bowl games after fruits, we need more fruit bowl games.
All the Michigan RBs drafted by the Colts in the second round…
And then the Odd one out who gets drafted by Atlanta
I was thinking, if you have no game plan in advance, what do you do, adapt on the fly?
You said "If Michigan wins, they have a legitimate shot at the very least of splitting the national championship and maybe even winning it outright depending on how the other games played out."

Thanks for adding that.
Saw the video on Patreon last night. BTW, I didn’t know Stanford was known as the Indians. Aren’t they the Cardinals?
This 1971 season was the final season that they were the Indians
@@JaguarGator8 Thanks. It just seems weird hearing them called that. Anyway, keep up the good work. Hope to be there tonight for your stream.
Yes…sorta..they were named the Cardinals from 72-81 then dropped the S and been known as the Cardinal (in singular form) ever since
Love the name of the defense "thunder chicken"
Cardinal.
2:24 did you say the indians?
Stanford was the Indians until the late 70's, changed the name to the color Cardinal, because of some woke people of that era , the name Indians was demeaning to a certain race of people.
Whats the deal with that midfield logo?
Let’s GOOOO
Did anyone else besides my little sister not know that Stanford used to be the Indians before this video?
FIRST.VIDEO.EVER
Can't wait for the first CFB Dumb Decisions. If you think NFL coaches make bad decisions......................
Les Miles on line 1
I made it!
Ralston may've been trying to mislead Michigan.

Gotta agree. Michigan was behind NU, OU, Colorado (which people forget lost only to Nebraska and Oklahoma) and an Alabama team that would get hammered by Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
Stanford had the best asset of all: Schembechler as MI head coach. The man would always lose the big one, especially the Rose Bowl.
Not the first time Stanford was involved in a 13 - 12 upset that season. On November 13th, then 10th-ranked Stanford hosted their long-time patsy, 3-4-1 San Jose State, only to fall 13-12. That loss was the third time Stanford lost immediately after reaching the top 10 that season.
