I remember listening on crackly AM radio

with much trepidation that the Irish could somehow lose to the Spoilermakers (as they did in 1974). The radio signal wasn't great, and occasionally my Dad had to run outside to use the car radio for an update.

Criqui may have been the radio announcer back in 1975. I distinctly remember him from the Navy '74 game, as he made the Navy punts sound more dramatic than Tom Demsey's 63-yard field goal (which he called in 1970)


Don Criqui and Al Wester were the 1975 radio guys. *

"where has Joe Montana been?" and "as legend after legend has been born at quarterback, one has here today!'


And yet without Fred Arrington, Montana may never have

Become the greatest of all time and the Irish would have started the 1977 season 1-2.
