The BROADCASTING DISASTER at the 1989 John Hancock Bowl | Texas A&M vs. Pitt
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 07. 2022
- At the 1989 John Hancock Bowl (1989 Sun Bowl) between Texas A&M and Pitt, we had a Heidi Game moment on our hands, where no one was able to watch the ending to the game, because the network cut away too early to show something else. And this time, it's all about El Paso, a Mexican television station (WHCH Juarez), and one of the weirdest broadcasting decisions you're ever going to see that prevented fans from witnessing a great comeback. This is the story behind the 1989 Sun Bowl between Pitt and Texas A&M, and college football's version of the Heidi Game

And now, on with our feature presentation.
The narrator needs to take a handful of Valium.
ESPN cutting off the end of a great game to show a 30 for 30 documentary? Please don't give them any ideas. That's exactly the kind of thing I could see them doing.
Given how much money they've sunk into the live broadcasting rights, if they ever did anything that asinine they deserve every bit of vitriol they'd get.
"I'm sorry....WHAT???" 🤣🤣🤣 Never gets old
I was hoping he would say it in Spanish LOL
@@RetroJR3379 "Lo siento...¿QUÉ?"🤣
@@ECG3485 That would've been golden 😆
'Here's your review: 'Cars went fast! Cars went zoom! Cars are speed! Ka-chow!'' 🤣🤣🤣
Back to back TV disasters for the Sun Bowl
The Indy 500 is still blacked out live in the Indianapolis Metro Area in the year 2022, despite the fact that this years event saw record attendence.
WCBS-TV (channel 2) in New York City was luckily ran the John Hancock Bowl without switching to auto racing and the last few minutes of the game was intact.
El Paso and Juarez is literally separated by the Rio Grande River Zero Miles apart. You can even see Juarez from the Sun Bowl
You could probably see drug cartels from the sun bowl.
I guess XHCH didn't know the concept of joining the F1 season review in progress. Epic fail.
I've gotta say I loved the car footage only because they used Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain."
Considering the fact the station involved is based in Mexico, I'm sure there'd be some jingoistic opposition if they pre-empted the final few minutes of the game for a live Mexican soccer league match, but THAT would be more justifiable if it was a live match. It'd be like, "hey I guess I can't sleep on my neighbor's couch if their son's coming over."
Yet another great JG8 story to go along with all the great JG9 stories!
I think the music playing during the racing was “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac.
Yes BBC has used that for their F1 intro music for years
What XHCH aired somewhat reminds me of what KYW in Philadelphia did in 1986, only worse.
Same thing happened in Philadelphia where KYW-TV at the time ran a baseball movie instead of football which was two years before.
@@Musicradio77Network That’s Exactly what happened.
@@AdamJ617 But in NYC, they can’t, WCBS-TV (channel 2) in NYC ran this “John Hancock Bowl” in 1989 without interrupting an auto racing event.
@@Musicradio77Network, same thing if WNBC aired a college game UNINTERRUPTED! (At that time, KYW was with NBC in ‘86 and ‘89)
I remember that in 1987 inclement winter weather hit El Paso and could have kept attendance down for that game. West Virginia and Oklahoma State played in that one. It was the last game for Thurman Thomas who would be drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the next year. There was snow for probably every mile between Stillwater and El Paso so anyone who might have wanted to drive to that game was unable to do so.
On YT theres a intro video of the 89 Sun Bowl,
Oh, dude. That was the season recap for the 1989 Formula One season. And yes. The season was long done by this point in the year. So Mexico fucked this up big time. Way more than NBC did in 1968.
And frankly, the season as a whole was much better than the football game. By a country mile.
Couldnt at least put Lucha Libre or some variety show where everyone act like kids
Bowl games? We don't need no stinkin' bowl games!
Cars went fast. Cars went zoom. Cars are speed. Kachow
Could be worst..
They couldve cut the game to show Sabado Gigante or Telenovelas
Telenovelas during the weekend? Highly unlikely, but Sábado Gigante, Don Francisco, that would be more realistic. Then again, I don't know if XHCH ever showed Univision productions. ;)
@@bundesautobahn7 Checked wiki its Azteca so they probably wouldve cut it for Azteca Box lol
@@RetroJR3379
Nah, probably The Güiri Güiri Show.
@@alextv2944 With Charo
Cuchi cuchi!!
The Sun Bowl must be the only network college football game blacked out anywhere.
To be fair... if you're relying on a Mexican station to watch the sport of American Football, its probably tenuous anyway.
From the clips being show, it was likely a recap of the 1989 Formula 1 season. Pretty random time to be airing a recap of the season, seeing as it ended almost two months prior.
10:35. El Paso is in the Mountain Time Zone
I suspect those who saw the game in Spanish on Mexican TV might have able to hear an English language play by play broadcast if a local El Paso radio station was carrying the game.
Maybe that station did them a favor. If you are a resident of El Paso and watching that game, you are likely an A&M fan, so instead of watching you team choke you can watch the highlights of one of the greatest and most controversial F1 seasons of all time. I mean at the very least watching highlights of the 1989 F1 season is significantly better than Heidi.
11:25 "Cars went fast, cars went zoom, cars are speed, Kachow" As someone who hates NASCAR I'm gonna use this if anybody brings up if I watched Daytona 500 and etc.😂
The Sugar Bowl was blacked out in New Orleans and Baton Rouge every time from January 1967 through December 1974 EXCEPT the Notre Dame-Alabama game in December 1973. That screwed LSU fans when the Bayou Bengals played undefeated Wyoming in 1968.
You show Pitt so much love, my man. Thank you for bringing some of Pitt’s history to the forefront. Your work is tremendous!
Well Pitt had some pretty good Yeats in the 70's and 80's
@@dustinsindledecker154 Pitt is on its way back to the top. #Hail2Pitt
Hail to pitt!
Some fellow Panthers here. I love it.
El "Partido de Heidi" LOL

On the one hand, I presume it was a recap of the 1989 f1 season, which rightfully has a case of being one of the most iconic in the sports history.
On the other…you can’t justify going from a live sporting event to a recap, unless that live sporting event is a snoozer of the highest order, and this game was not that.
Another just outstanding video! Your story-telling and reporting on these types of stories are unique. This channel is definitely going to get huge...and quickly, is my guess. Keep up the great work.
Well that’s Mexico for ya!! 🤣😳
As an F1 fan, this is one of the few times that I can think of that F1 preempted another sport. Usually it is the other way around. I vividly remember my local FOX affiliate in Seattle cutting off the ending of the Canadian GP back in 2007 (when FOX had the US F1 rights) to show Seattle Mariners highlights. That race was notable for the violent wreck involving Robert Kubica & Lewis Hamilton winning his first F1 race.
If you drove from El Paso to Juarez by the time this video ended.....you'd still be in line at the border crossing to clear customs.
BTW who the hell names their daughter "Heidi" anyway? That's just asking for her to be mocked and bullied for life.
Heidi is the diminutive of many names, some girls just get Heidi as a given name. Not uncommon in German speaking nations.
@@matthewdaley746 Helga and Ursula have become very rare names this day and age. Olga is less rare, but more widespread than Helga and Ursula because it's more an Eastern European name.
@@matthewdaley746 Okay okay, you've got me there.
@@matthewdaley746 In all fairness, there are many out of control parents in Germany that name their kids names that are trendy (e.g. because of movies). Some even have weird double-names. That's part of why many ethnic German names are disappearing somewhat.
I know, right?-Sydney Biddle Barrows
They may have not been able to see the game on TV in El Paso, but I also doubt seriously that the Mexican station had any obligation to CBS to show the game either. Unlike the El Paso CBS affiliate I'm sure the Juarez channel decided to show the game on their own. And I also likely think the Mexican station was not under CBS affiliate rules. So the option to see the game was to go to the stadium or watch a bootleg broadcast. Which option had the better chance of not being messed up?
Given the terrible weather (below freezing and raining in West Texas), it was pick your poison.
Only other option would have been radio I'd imagine.
I would like to know who was responsible for painting the endzones
Minor correction, it should be “El Partido Heidi” not “El Juego Heidi”
I saw it! I was there. It was freezing.
What probably should be worth noting about that season was that Mexico did not even have an F1 driver that season. The last driver they had before that was 1981 with Hector Rebaque. Rebaque would be the last Mexican driver until Sergio “Checo” Perez.
There was also Esteban Gutiérrez, but he came after Checo and with less success. Even Checo needed some time though, but he eventually surpassed Pedro Rodríguez as the most successful Mexican driver in Formula 1.
Also, Hector Rebaque was the last owner-driver in Formula One
Edit: although the Mexican Grand Prix was on the 1989 Formula One schedule, but that race took place on May 28th... SEVEN MONTHS AND TWO DAYS PRIOR
Similar to San Diego and Tijuana. Chargers home game would be black out but if Televisa was showing the same Chargers game youll be able to see the Chargers game en Español even if it wasnt a sellout. I lived in Chula Vista in 1992 so there was a couple Chargers game I saw in Spanish that wasn't a sellout
As a Formula 1 fan: The racing you were showing was Formula 1. And back then, if I'm not mistaken, the season went from March until October.
You are correct
AKA the Paul Hackett Goes From Triumphantly Interim to Incompetent Permanent Head Coach game. Wonder if Pitt fans are happy they won in the grand scheme of things.
It’s a good memory of a great battle. But Pitt didn’t the war on that one, that’s for sure.
For the record this was the 1989 Formula 1 World Championship that they are recapping
I got the game a week late. On Guam.
You said this was the second time in the previous ten seasons that two ranked teams met in the Sun Bowl. I believe the other time was when SMU played Alabama in 1983. This is a pretense for this unofficial Jaguar Gator 8 historian to remind everyone you made a video about how SMU ended up in that game.

JG8: That's Like If ESPN Was Airing A Monday Night Football Game And They Decided To Cut Away From The Ending Of That To Show The Start Of A 30 For 30 Episode!
Me: Or This Is Like If ABC Was Airing Game 7 Of The NBA Finals And Then They Decided To Cut Away The Ending To Show The Start Of ABC World News!
I remember this game as well as that season. my first semester at Pitt as a transfer student...things went south for pitt after this. Paul Hackett had a great first game as coach here - but then really messed things up from here.
did he ever! Pitt is finally recovering from the Paul 'Can't' Hackett debacle followed by the Johnny Majors II fiasco.
Knowing my luck even if they didnt flipped im either gonna go so my dad could beat traffic or make me go to the store and buy soda LOL
I am loving this video! RC Slocum had just replaced Jackie Sherrill who was the coach of Pitt when they were really good in the late 1970s. I love the Sun Bowl because its usually played on New Year's Eve at 230pm in most years. Its the last Bowl Game still airing on the same network as it did back in the early 1970s ! I also love Auto Racing and it looks like a year in review of the 1989 Auto Racing season. Back in those days Telemundo used to air Indy Car races on a 6 day delay. Talk about dumb decisions. I think the NFL Wild Card Games were the next day.
The biggest disaster from this game was Pitt hiring Paul Hackett that same day, raising its academic standards and winning just 37 games in the entire decade of the 90s. Yeah, Pitt officials hated where the sport was heading and decided to let the football program rot, instead of keeping Mike Gottfried and investing in the program. Hackett did his part to speed up the process.
I like how every video shows progressively worse decisions by people...every episode seems to show even dumber and dumber things than the last.
Good God. What a find.
Mexico May not like American Football
Cars go fast indeed!
Perdoname....
QUUUUEEEEEEE!!
33 Years Ago
On one hand, as a motorsports fan, I'm happy that motorsports preempted football for once, instead of the other way around, but it's stupid because they aired a recap of the 1989 Formula One season even though there wasn't even a Mexican driver in Formula One at the time and the season ended two months prior! Hell, to describe the opposite, a couple years ago FS1 preempted the final 10 laps of a NASCAR Camping Work Truck Series race at Martinsville to show a Iowa State Football game, but at least FS1 had the decency to interrupt the Truck race for live sports! This station interrupted live sports for a highlights program
Todo es culpa de Felina-Marty Robbins
Aye carumba! 😂😂😂
and that's just any Auto racing that was Formula 1
JG8’s CFB videos are SO good!! I love these crazy stories you tell…... The 2008 sun bowl would be a good video IMO. You got a 3-0 game which is odd in its self. Oregon State not wearing white when they were supposed to. The most inept offensives. I think the wind played a factor. And I am pretty dang sure Vern Lungquest and Gary Danielson were drunk during the broadcast. They literally kept getting players of same number mixed up on the two teams. Like it happened the entire freaking game. It might set the record for most errors by broadcast team….anyway keep up the great work.
AND, Oregon State played Pitt! I think it's a natural for you!
This is now the third video on this channel involving Pitt. Either they have had a lot of crappy luck, or you're a closet Panthers fan. If it's the second, no need to hide! Hail to Pitt!
How about some bb I love. Jsu and gramblomh have lots of history and HOF players.
That A&M team was waaaaay too talented to have lost four games
To be fair, they would have 3 losses or less for the next 6 seasons.
@@DolFan316 RC was like Fred Akers, A solid coach but his teams tended to disappear (At least the offense) in bowl games
I love your vids JG8/9
He said "Hancock" heh heh 😋
Lo siento, QUE?! I’m not able to do the upside down punctuation marks. I think you should re-record from that point en Espanol.
Nice!
Angry OJG9 is the best OJG9 🤘🤘🤘
This guy has made 3 videos about Pitt and controversy’s what a joke
#HowSuperficiallyProficentOrMediocreThisOneWas!
5:54 Technically the call sign for that station was actually XHCJE, however it was branded as XHCH since it was a satellite of XHCH in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, which was in the same state as Ciudad Juárez. Just wanted to clear any confusion when people look that up. Also, fun fact, both stations are still brodcasting, and they're now broadcasting on Virtual Channel 1.
Also, at least the '89 F1 season was an amazing arc in the Prost-Senna battle.
Whos in charge of XHCH
Chavo de Ocho LOL
Nah, it was Ponchito.
@@alextv2944 It had to be PONCH!!!
Another Sun Bowl video? Guh...
ka-chow
As someone who is a massive classic F1 fan that season is awesome (well besides the fact it ends with a broken nosed frenchman and his mate cheating a brazilian and yes Prost cheated the japanese footage proves this beyond all doubt) but if I was watching another sport live I'd hate having a program not live kick it
What probably should be worth noting about that season was that Mexico did not even have an F1 driver that season. The last driver they had before that was 1981 with Hector Rebaque.
@@reidcraig3739 But they did have a GP that year and until 1992, plus obviously on the calendar today
@@jordza2k11 I’m aware of that. I will say I started off an Alonso and still am. However I have jumped on the Checo bandwagon
@@reidcraig3739 I started off in 1997-98 with Michael Schumacher (I'm a classic fan even at age 28 because todays is almost unbearable) and since he retired I never went to anyone else for one reason or another, be it Hamiltons mouth and ego, Verstappen making me miss his dad (I enjoyed Jos the Boss), Alonso for me always being a whiner (I must admit him DNQ for the Indy 500 and the excuses used will always be a great moment), Vettel the same (but he off-track has made me do a 180 on him)
@@jordza2k11 I just wish that 90s era of F1 would come back. The last good season in my opinion was 2012. 7 different winners in the first 7 races (8 total on the season). Since then there’s only been 4 f1 winners that weren’t Ferrari, Mercedes, or Red Bull.
Wow a another Pitt related one nice work
f1 is king
Luckily, I was able to watch this game while in the Army and stationed in Germany. H2P!
That play from Van Pelt to Sykes at 12:18 was one of my all-time favorites. I think it was something like 3rd and 15 and Pitt was as good as dead. Very un-Pitt-like to actually make a play as this team often continued the Pitt tradition of finding ways to lose winnable games to inferior teams. This was the last gasp before the dark ages of the 90's.
PS: RIP Tony "Goose" Siragusa
Hail to Pitt!!
