Great stuff, DW. There's a lot of good video there. And, I don't know who Melissa Terrebonne is, but I want to thank her too!. She posted 8 or 10 of those videos from the 1970's & 1980's, including videos of punt returner Larry Anderson, WR's Tommy Spinks, Roger Carr, Eric Johnson, Pat Tilley and Rod Foppe, as well as QB's Terry Bradshaw and Keith Thibodeaux. This is awesome!!
I believe it was Karl Terrebonne who posted them initially when we were on Dawgbytes' original BB&B site. Karl got access to Tech's old game exchange videos and spent hours putting it together on YouTube.

A big thanks to all who contributed. I especially appreciate the titles. In a lot of the "yearly highlight" films on you tube I can't tell who we're playing. but enjoy anyway. I was not really familiar with those seventy's and early eighty's teams so those are great to watch.
Thought it was cool that your first one from the 80s was the video of the Tech/Miss Valley game (along with other highlights). Just the highlights from the MVSU game could be enough offensive highlights for a season. Man that team must have had the worst defense in history. Still lots of fun stuff in there - thanks.
On a different note, who was the defensive end who was a bit short but incredibly fast -- he blocked a bunch of punts while he was at Tech. Always loved the excitement of whether he'd get to the punt.
There are also some films in the Archives and Special Collections of Prescott Library. These materials were saved only after persistent requests for materials for preservation. Of course the Library is not in position to really make these available in modern formats, funding, but they are there in whatever format they were created in by athletics.
