Bought for brother in law. had some amazing stories, pictures, and a DVD. It looked well worth it, I mean after I gave it to him he just sat and read it for a couple of hours! Recieved it Promptly, in good condition.


3 out of 5 stars OK, But I wish they could fix and clean up the distortion.   February 27, 2010

The DVDs are copies of taped broadcast games. The 95 and 96 games were awesome, but the 71 and 82 games were very poor and had very distorted sound and picture. Whoever produced this did a sloppy job.


3 out of 5 stars Great Games but should leave out 1982 NU-OKLA game   September 8, 2009

All of the videos were good quality except 1982 Nebraska - Oklahoma. I gave this collection 3 stars because the 1982 game was very fuzzy the entire first half. They should have found another game to use because of the poor video quality. The package is a good value for what you get because you receive 4 national title games.

First of all, $10.99 for 5 complete games is an unbelievable price. So unbelievable that I doubt it'll be there for long. Anyway, this collection includes:

Games:
1971 Orange Bowl vs. LSU
1982 Regular Season vs. Oklahoma
1995 Orange Bowl vs. Miami
1996 Fiesta Bowl vs. Florida
1998 Orange Bowl vs. Tennessee

I haven't watched the extras, as of yet, but only 3 are listed:

Reflections of Perfection (Story of the 1996 Fiesta Bowl)
No Doubt Huskers Light It Up 1997
1997 Reunion: Charlie McBride, Defensive Coordinator

I can't figure out why they don't put any of this information in the product description, but A&E leaves it out all the time. That's probably not the best way to generate sales.

One really bad mistake the makers of this set made was putting the wrong score to the 1996 Fiesta Bowl on the outside AND inside of the box (and in the product description on this page). This was Nebraska's 62-24 blowout win over Florida, but the box and the product description on this page put the score as 24-17. Woops! That was the score of the 1995 Orange Bowl, not the '96 Fiesta Bowl (both games are included).

It took 3 weeks to get here, and there are obviously other games that could have been included, but at the current price, one can't complain too much.
