I would be interested in finding out how many Syracuse fans were in attendance for this game. I would have to imagine it would be an overwhelmingly pro-Texas crowd.

 

[KellySyracuse]

love the announcer. I long for the days when Syracuse football was a team to be reckoned with.

 

[DownTheField]

I would love to watch modern games with an old timey play by play guy.

 

[xc84]

love the announcer.

Is it Red Barber? After his retirement, he used to be on NPR and would tell stories from his home in Florida. The announcer sounds like him.

44 running down the field looks glorious.

CTO was at this game, correct? Is she the only board member that was?

Looks like Jack Drees and Forest Evashevski. Lindsey Nelson and Red Grange did the first game SU played in the Cotton Bowl in 1957, Jim Brown's last game as an Orangeman.

Yeah that's definitely Drees. Check this out.

That's not the original TV broadcast, which was done by Drees and Evachevski.

The narrator is a fellow named Kern Tipps:

Sure like the old highlights with marches music instead of rock music.

Think Tipps may have done the SU - TCU Cotton Bowl (per the link). Definitely sounds like Drees.

Drees' voice is definitely higher pitched and more nasal and he isn't "poetic" in the way Tipps is.


Here is a list of Cotton Bowl announcers:

Tipps isn't on it. He seems to have more a narrator than a broadcaster.
