CBS SPORTS CONCLUDES SEASON OF “FOUR SIDES OF THE STORY” WITH “THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!”

Episode Highlighting Stanford Band Coming on the Field During 1982 “Big Game” to Debut on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 2:00 PM, ET on the CBS Television Network

The third season of CBS Sports’ “Four Sides of the Story” franchise concludes with “The Band is on the Field!” on Saturday, Nov. 30 (2:00 PM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. 

The documentary, which is the last of five original programs produced by CBS Sports celebrating the 150th anniversary of college football, leads into THE DRIVE TO ATLANTA (2:30 PM, ET), COLLEGE FOOTBALL TODAY (3:00 PM, ET) and the SEC on CBS “Game of the Week” between No. 5 Alabama and No. 16 Auburn (3:30 PM, ET).


Each FOUR SIDES OF THE STORY episode is told through four unique points of view. “The Band is on the Field!” relives one of the most memorable and unbelievable moments in college football history, when Stanford’s Band – as the clock struck zero – came on the field as the play was still live and Cal was returning the kickoff for a touchdown. The four sides of “The Band is on the Field!” will be told by:

To this day nobody has seen my 16mm footage of the 1982 Big Game. Andy Geiger ordered us to shitcan it. I still have the original Kodak 7247 processed footage including Stanford bench reaction and a top camera view that may or may not show a knee down and a forward lateral.

And the reason that you have not made it public is . . . . what? Who were you shooting for that day?

My buddy Jim Grundberg was cleaning his basement a few years ago and found a cassette tape with his KZSU call of the final minute of play. Your video belongs in the public arena too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEPxbmwrEeA

IIRC, a month or so after the game, the Daily posted a photo a grad student had snapped during the play. The image clearly showed an official running down the field with his arms outstretched, apparently signalling the play dead before Moen had crossed the goal line. As I remember, and yes, I was there sitting behind the same endzone where Mariet Ford was credited with his phantom TD catch, the official did signal the play dead causing the band (and both teams, btw) to run onto the field. Of course, said official in the post play caucus denied such signalling thus enabling the travesty. May that guy rot in hell.

It's not a video. It exists in 16mm negative form. One of the problems for footage sale these days is that the market rate per foot is way down. I am not a vidiot. 51 year international career. Plus it would cost about $4,000 to transfer. As I told MLB I would rather shitcan my 80,000' library than give it away. It's a business first and last, not a hobby.

You just need to stick around until 2032, the fiftieth anniversary and see if you can get somebody to do a forensic investigation on the play, featuring "never before seen footage".  Maybe Netflix can do a special or something; I hear streaming services are "looking for content".

BC, here's an example. I own extensive footage from the giants 1968-1974. My father and I made seven long form commercials for the team. Plenty of high speed stuff, music, etc. The prevailing opinion is that the Giants own distribution rights to the productions, not the actual material. I cannot, w/o approval, legally use that footage in a production. I can however sell the original. Seven years ago MLB came to me and expressed interest in buying the library. They never made an offer and I never gave them a value. Since then the bottom has fallen out of the market.

Stanford signed over all rights to our recruiting footage in 1983. They have given footage from the 16mm prints to various entities and I see my stuff on the air at times. I know that the department cleaned out a closet of old prints some years ago afraid of any nitrate material. I think it's possible that the release prints from our films were among the historical footage shitcanned. God knows if footage of Pop Warner et al was included.

The Stanford material in my vault is there with Movietone newsreels, our commercial and industrial productions, baseball footage and other works of our family's 110 year career in pictures. There it will sit, no pay, no play.

I like garvin's theory.  The Play is a curse and an albatross around Kal's neck.  In the popular imagination, Kal football is this bizarre ending and that's it.  Until they disavow The Play they will be forever cursed to never go to the Rose Bowl.  Whenever a Weenie friend posts The Play on Facebook, I make this comment.  My Weenie friends have since stopped posting it.

Of course, when The Play happened, it had already been, what, forty-four or forty-five seasons since Cal had won the Rose Bowl? It’s been less than that since then...

I hope we will be able to have a grand centennial celebration of Cals last Rose Bowl win... Just have to grind it out another 2 decades?

Many years ago Bud Greenspan directed a series of old timer pieces for the NCAA. We shot an interview with Riegels in Davis, if I remember correctly. A very gracious guy who still was upset over the Georgia Tech win. There is an unwritten rule in our business that crew people should never ask for an autograph. I kick myself for not asking. Later, on the same project we shot an interview with the man who as a kid came out of the Memorial Stadium stands and tried to tackle Tom Harmon. He was still embarrassed that when he dove at the Voldemort winner he came up with air.
