2 days later in collegiate gridiron 🏈 action visiting Penn State came back from 14-0 lst Quarter deficit to trounce host W.V.U., 49-21 in last game bet. 2 schools in W.V.U.'s former mid-1920s f'tbll st'dm 🏟, Morgantown, West Va.
So many great personalities with the broadcast both to both coached Bud Grant and Tom Landry. Then the great backs in Dorset and Foreman and Staubach and Tarkenton. I was 11 years old then and Staubach was my hero Eventhough I lived in Wisconsin but my Packers were not very good back then.
Well, in 4, previous 7 seasons C'wbys had d'ftd V'kngs in pl'yffs winning 1977-1978 season's N.F.C. Championship Game at home, 23-6 to earn berth in Super Bowl, XII, where they'd go on to defeat Broncos, 27-10
At home and Texas Stadium are actually not redundant. The Cowboys did well at home against MN in the 1960's. Texas Stadium opened in 1971, and MN won regular season games there in 1974, 1978, 1987, and 1988 against Laundry. Dallas had similar succes at MN from 1971 on, except 1982.
1978 was a great year for me. I celebrated our 2nd Superbowl Championship as a Cowboys fan. I also graduated from Junior High School in the Bronx NY that year.
if these 2 teams played 10 times, dallas woulda won 8.....(at least) this wasa fluke.the minny's got SMEARED in the playoffs by the whams.....(of course t he whams were humiliated by phallas 28-0)
Sr. Univ., Pgh. RB Tony D'rstt was 1976 College F'tbll season's H'smn Trophy w'nnr as he helped lead G'ldn P'nthrs to p'rfct 11-0-0 record in reg. season play/wire-to-wire 27-3 tr'mph over Univ., Ga. in XLIIIrd Sugar Bowl classic on New Yr.'s Day, 1977 (January 1, 1977-Sat.) for Univ., Pgh.'s lst National Championship in close to 4 decades. And sp'kng, 1976 College F'tbll season, I.Y.O., why do you think that ABC-TV N'twrk on Dec. 31, 1976 (Fri.-New Yr.'s Eve) d'clnd to air that season's XVIIIth Astro-Bl'bnnt Bowl cl'ssc bet. Univs., Neb./Tex. Tech as syndicated TVS n'twrk aired that game instead?
I imagine that ABC-TV Network passed up airing 1976 College F'tbll season's XVIIIth Astro-Bl'bnnt Bowl cl'ssc bet. Univ., Neb./Tex. Tech on New Yr.'s Eve night 🌙, 1976 (December 31, 1976-Fri.) fearing that its affiliates in Eastern time zone were concerned that w/live sporting event such as XVIIIth Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl College Football classic bet., Univ., Neb./Tex. Tech starting at 8:00 PM (E.T.) would have impact on stations' local news coverage, New Yr.'s Eve activities/in worst possible case, stretch into annual "New Yr.'s Rockin' Eve" musical 🎼 special. Now as l've mentioned before that XVIIIth Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl College Football classic on last day, historic Bi-Centennial yr., 1976 (December 31, 1976-Fri., New Yr.'s Eve) could moved ahead earlier in day from 8:00 PM (E.T.) to 3:15 PM (E.T.) w/ABC-TV Network starting coverage, game at 3:15 PM (E.T.)
Roger Staubach has a net worth of over $650 million dollars due to various businesses he owns and Fran Tarkenton has a net worth of about $300 million due to computers.
The first ever Thursday Night Football game

B.T.W., Morgantown, West Va.'s located only about 5 mi. from Penna./West Va. state boundary line
@@user-qv3wb2gy1f penn state...umm, ok....home of rapist/abusers like sandusky-of course mr.sunglasses 'knows nooooothhhinnng'
Penn State leads all-time football 🏈 series w/W.V.U., 49-9-2
Penn State also leads all-time football 🏈 series w/Univ., Md., 43-3-1
I love the commercials. It completes the Time Machine experience
Loved this -- remembered watching the NFL in '78 but forgot who won this game. It was great reliving old memories!
Absolutely ❤️ I’m now 61 and these were my Vikes 🏈🌟
And 8 superbowls.

For whatever reason, the Cowboys had trouble beating the Vikings at home during the regular season when they played at Texas Stadium.
Well, in 4, previous 7 seasons C'wbys had d'ftd V'kngs in pl'yffs winning 1977-1978 season's N.F.C. Championship Game at home, 23-6 to earn berth in Super Bowl, XII, where they'd go on to defeat Broncos, 27-10
Isn't at home and at Texas Stadium redundant?
Cowboys/Vikings are even in all-time post-season series with both teams each recording 3 victories in llnd season
Cowboys lead Vikings, 15-12 in all-time reg. season series bet. those 2 teams
At home and Texas Stadium are actually not redundant. The Cowboys did well at home against MN in the 1960's. Texas Stadium opened in 1971, and MN won regular season games there in 1974, 1978, 1987, and 1988 against Laundry. Dallas had similar succes at MN from 1971 on, except 1982.
Beautiful Vikings uniforms ❤️
I've never seen this game posted before!! Great find!!
Thank you sir!
8 combined NFC champions in the 1970s
And in preceding 9 seasons (1969-1970 thru 1977-1978), combined 8 Super Bowl appearances bet. 2 teams
Foreman was a great all around back, but had many injuries over the years and perhaps was overused.
1978 was a great year for me. I celebrated our 2nd Superbowl Championship as a Cowboys fan. I also graduated from Junior High School in the Bronx NY that year.
Amazing to me that Randy White was on the S/T group in addition to D-line.
Staubach and. Tarkenton both had. Fantastic. Mobility for both being over 36
Chuck Foreman's last 100 yard rushing game...
He looked like he was running on fumes.
😊 Commericials. Were great better than. Today
Datsun was getting serious airtime that night lol
Wow thanks J.J
VIKINGS!!
May the Vikes finally win the Big One someday!
"Sorry we are experiencing technical difficulties" lol
i liked it when the Cowboys went to Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota -20 degrees
Never happened
Fran called it!
Notice the Vikings came out in a three RB set to start just to stress out Landry!
I remember it well. This is the last time Staubach and Tarkenton played each other, and Tark did well!
2:45:52….good shot of Ditka
Bello il primo pallone ..chi è il ricevitore del primo calcio?
2:01 Dorsett was a real pro about this kerfuffle.
Wow Staubach vs Tarkington
Tarkenton 😉
Minnesota shouldve kept Allen. Page My. Packers were. Dumb not.to.aquire Allen smart player still talented at 34
Dallas blew this game.
21-10 home defeat for host Cowboys against visiting Vikings
Roger wasn't sharp on this night (to say the least) but I would still like him to run for POTUS in 2024 if Trump can't make the ticket.
Datson(Nissan) commercials.

Boo (censored) hoo!
This game was a big let down and bummer!
The Cowboys played like crap…. I think they lost their next game but then went on to win their final 6….
And then the Stillers (censored) slapped them once again!
@@christopherstephans3383 Just as it was case 3 seasons prior (1975-1976) in Super Bowl, X
That was to Miami after a mini bye 23-16
Don't put Trump and Staubach in the same sentence. That's like comparing Fine Champagne to Toilet Water!
They are both fine champagne
Tony Dorsett has got to hold the all time record for fumbles, crap.
That's committed fumbles
He did often early in his career but got better.
