On this date in Southern California, Sunday January 13th, 1974 is only 1 month and 8 days before KPBS San Diego and other PBS stations have conducted their membership pledge drives as "Public Television Awareness Week", conducted from Friday February 22nd, 1974 through Sunday March 3rd, 1974!!
As a long time Miami Dolphin fan this is like opening a gift on Christmas morning!! Thanks for your hard work. I've always wanted to ask you this question, I know you probably have a lot of sports that you cannot put on RUclips for obvious reasons, and I'll understand if you don't won't to answer. But would you happen to have the 1971 AFC Championship game from January 2, 1972? Between the Baltimore Colts and the Miami Dolphins.
Still the best football team I've ever seen. Bengals fan here and they beat us in the playoffs that year. You never like to lose, but if you have to lose it's kind of an honor to lose to the best team ever.
@RRaquello: I agree. I'm a Bills fan but this Miami team has left an impression on me that I will never forget. If they weren't the most dominating team I've ever seen they certainly are in my top 3.
The introduction of the Vikings defense was the last time I had hope in this game. My 7 year old self clearly remembers seeing them introduce Wally Hilgenberg, and hoping for a victory. Sadly, 50 years later it still hasn’t happened. If only Ed White had blocked Buoniconti. If only a bogus clip wasn’t called on Stu Voigt. If only Porter had recovered Jake Scott’s 1st quarter punt muff. Funny holding call on Hilgenberg gave the Dolphins 4 points to start the second half. If only Curtis Johnson had shorter fingernails. Who was offsides on the onside kick? Kingsrighter was inbounds on the 3rd and 16. A lot of ifs, but everything went wrong for the Vikings in this game, and that defense intro brought me back to where three more Super Bowls had not been lost yet, and five more NFC championship losses hadn’t happened. Welcome to the last moment of Viking fan bliss. Cheers everyone!
oh please. they were outclassed in every phase. a guy with a broken arm dominated roid/rage/page.....if these teams played 10 games, miami would win 8, at least.....at least....
Alan Page was not on steroids. They double team him on most plays and Csonka was just as big as page. The vikings LBs/Secondary was average. And they were a finesse offense which in those days was hard to have success. That's why they have 4 SBs losses.
Actually three Super Bowls were played at Rice Stadium, IV (Chiefs/Vikings 1970), VI (Cowboys/Dolphins 1972) and this one VIII (Dolphins/Vikings 1974).
@@Bob31415Wrong, this was the only time the Super Bowl was played at Rice Stadium. Super Bowl IV and Super Bowl VI were both played at the old Tulane Stadium in New Orleans. Houston never hosted another Super Bowl until Super Bowl XXXVIII (Panthers vs. Patriots), which was played at NRG Stadium.
Still don't understand why Pete and the site commission chose Rice Stadium to host the Super Bowl and not play the game in the Astrodome right down the road. Imagine how much more dramatic and impressive a game of this magnitude would look inside a huge domed structure, which for the time still evoked a futuristic look.
@@davidhileman8251 Even if that's true, no one could tell me that the Astrodome couldn't have been specially modified with extra seats AND that it wouldn't make for a more visually impressive site for the SB.
Astrodome was too small, it only seated 50,000 people, not enough for a Super Bowl. Even if they were to add temporary seats, they could have put in only maybe 10,000 bleachers seats at best. Remember the previous year over 90,000 attended Super Bowl VII in Los Angeles.

WOW! Bitter sweet memories! Thanks for the upload. Looking forward to when you upload superbowl 2 and vikings vs rams 1974 conference championship game, good job 👍👍
You know why Don Criqui couldn’t join his CBS Sports colleagues for the Super Bowl? Because, he called the NBA on CBS game in Atlanta before the Super Bowl 0:14
If somebody would have told me about 6:00 this same day that the Miami Dolphins would not win another Super Bowl for over 50 years..... I would have called you a fool.... I guess Crow tastes pretty good right about now LOL
It should have been, Vikings were an excellent team and were recognized as such. No one could, or still can understand why so pathetic come Super Sunday.
I thought that might be her. There's a career that started out with great promise but fizzled out while young. At least she avoided some of the horrors experienced by other child stars e.g. Diff'rent Strokes.
miami woulda won 8 of 10 games against minnesota. minnesota wasn't even the 2nd best team in football that year, oakland was....and pittsburgh was 3rd...4th? cincinnati....remember the bengals destroying the vikings, 27-0? no? well i do.....ha ha ha
Oakland was 9 - 4 - 1 , Pittsburgh was 10 - 4 , Minnesota went 12 - 2 , They lost at Atlanta 14 - 20 at 9 - 0 , Then 2 weeks later dropped that bagel at Cincinnati, then never lost again until SB , You have no idea what you are talking about.
This was the first of four Super Bowl losses for Minnesota. Miami won this game 24-7. The Vikings join Buffalo as the only teams to lose four Super Bowls, with only the Bills dropping four straight Super Bowls making it more ignominious.
At least Buffalo came close to winning one of the games (a final play missed field goal if I remember). Closest Minnesota came was 9-6 in the 4th quarter in 1975.
@@briankoller2750 yep but was it was the most infamous of the Bills’ four losses-Scott Norwood’s missed FG at the gun. That will live in infamy in Bills territory forever.
This is great, I think in the past there were portions of this pre-game out there, glad you found the entire pre-game, keep up the good work
The last Super Bowl with the goalposts in the middle of the end zone.
Thank u Viking fan here still not over this one. Was in 5th grade brings back old feelings like a nightmare then. Now it's cool

The first pictures in the video are of the old Omni Arena in Atlanta.
Looked like lousy sightlines for seats in the corner.

34-16, Shula beat his old teacher Paul Brown.

All those announcers in one room and as of 2023, Dick Stockton is the only one out of that group that's still alive.
This is great, I’ve been to Rice Stadium a few times for College football 🏈, but never knew an NFL SuperBowl was played there wow

Have the Hawaii open to the Super Bowl that year on cassette. that year. Posted on line years ago. Don't know where it is.
Jack Whitaker was a little off when said this could be the best SB of all.
Game was over in 1st quarter, 14-0, Miami.

He did cardinal games on the radio in the early 80s there's a clip somewhere on here.
