Customer Review : 5
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. This was Nebraska's 62-24 blowout win over Florida, but the box puts the score as 24-17 (in two places). 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.
