I found yet another NC State clip today. This is a photo essay from a 10-24-1987 football game between NC State and Clemson. The essay was done by Jeff Gravley and Jay Jennings of WRAL channel 5, here in Raleigh. I remember taping this, but honestly don’t recognize any of the Wolfpack players, other than head coach Dick Sheridan. I was having some trouble figuring out what year this game was from until I found THIS. I noticed on that site that State beat Duke, 47-45 that year and it brought back to my memory that I had recorded the same type photo essay from that game as well….I haven’t found it yet, I would have thought it would be on this same tape, so we’ll see. I believe that was the Steve Spurrier “Air Ball” Blue Devils.

Also, I added a new category especially for all these old tapes I’m finding. From now on, all of these older clips I’m posting will be filed under “Stuff From The Garage”, because that is where the box of tapes was. I decided to add the category because I am finding all kinds of interesting clips from professional sports as well, so the whole NCSU category won’t work for everything. Anyway, enjoy….

I’m finding all kinds of stuff on my old VHS tapes. It seems that I recorded just about everything I could. Tonight I found 3 recaps of a classic NCSU game. State battled back from 20 points down as Rodney Monroe scored 30 points in the 2nd half….after only 2 in the first. Here I have 3 different recaps: WRAL, WTVD, and “The Les Robinson Show“. Funny thing is, I actually had the full game recorded before the news recaps, but it appears that an ex-girlfriend used the tape to record a movie awards show….so, I’m left with these news casts.

Here is the direct Youtube link to the video

Here is other NCSU related stuff on this site.

I found this clip on a VCR tape this morning while rummaging through some of my old stuff. It’s Jim Valvano appearing on David Letterman doing a pretty humorous interview. I’m assuming this was in 1987 as Valvano congratulates Letterman and says “great game” in regard to Indiana. (Indiana won the National Championship in ‘97) If anyone knows the actual date for sure, I’d love to know. Sorry about the quality, I had to transfer this from a 20 year old VHS tape, to my computer, to YouTube, so I did the best I could with it. Also, it ends a little early….go figure, I was a kid. Enjoy, this is classic Jim Valvano, the man loved to talk and laugh.

I’ve got several other tapes with mid 80’s stuff on them, I’ll be adding more later.
