Michigan football - College FB intros

A collection of classic college football introductions, with memorable tunes and graphics. There's very little from 2005 to present because that's when they started going downhill, in my humble opinion.

Ths old BCS on ABC intros 1999-2006 were the best.

[@alexcentury2166]

God I miss the song from ABC sports in the 2001/2005 intros. Doesn't get much better than that for a college football intro...

[@hxvt1943]

I agree

[@Rather_Opinionated]

That intro for the 2000 Orange Bowl is the all-time greatest. The effects, camera angles, Brad Nessler narrating the intro, and that legendary ABC Sports BCS theme. It doesn't get any better than that.

[@danalong1237]

From 1960-2006, ABC Sports was the best place to ⌚️ College 🏈 where you could 👂 ABC College 🏈's best announcers: Chris Schenkel (RIP), Bill Flemming (RIP), Mike Adamle, Brad Nessler, Sean McDonough, Al Michaels, Brent Musburger and, of course, Keith Jackson (RIP), a.k.a. "The 👑 of College 🏈 Announcing!" This was ABC Sports at its best back then, long before it became ESPN on ABC!

You really went all out with the emoji’s

[@danalong1237]

Don’t forget Mike Tirico and Chris Fowler!

Is it just me or are these awesome?

11:52: “The 2006 Rose Bowl on ESPN Radio is presented by Hasbro: making the world smile since 1928, and by PlayStation 2: live in your world, play in ours! Alongside Bob Davie, here’s Ron Franklin!”-Jim Cutler.

Crazy to think that the old days of ESPN and ABC broadcasting Wolverine and Big Ten games are over.

[@troyrobinson1169]

Intro at 9:15 is the best college football intro of all time! ESPN needs to bring it back

[@marlonb6793]

9:29 was the best that was real time football on Saturday the theme music gets u ready for college football

[@jeffcummins1408]

Great work as always, WH! I've got a request: Can you put together a compilation of Michigan entrances through the tunnel at The Big House? I always thought that was one of the best traditions in college football. Thanks, and GO BLUE!

[@BigBlueBri]

1991 easily the best.

[@DodgerOfZion]

Liking this for reference for 11:50 and onward. #SpursUp

[@zarniwooop]

Apparently we were completely blind and stupid back in the old days.

[@afridgetoofar1818]

11:55 is my favorite

[@Knightmessenger]

Is 1999 Syracuse the only time Michigan has been on CBS with their Lloyd Landesman (1987-present) composed theme? I remember thinking the 2011 Gator Bowl would be on CBS but ESPN2 took over yet another game from network tv.

[@esquare05]

+Knightmessenger Michigan/Notre Dame 1988 and 1990 aired on CBS.

[@jasoncowan115]

2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 0:41

[@CutterHistorical]

no love for NBC???

[@WolverineHistorian]

+CutterHistorical Correct.

[@jesselockhart1230]

If they're not playing Notre Dame then no..

[@gregsells8549]

Did you forget when NBC carried the Rose Bowl?

[@RuffRyder_43]

The one at 9:53 is the best one in my opinion
