Peace Frog Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) The movies Erin Brockovich and Gladiator hadn't been released yet. The Kursk hadn't sunk yet. Shaquille O'Neil still hadn't made his first free throw yet. PlayStation 2 hadn't been released yet. The Seattle Kingdome was still standing. Dora the Explorer hadn't debuted yet. Tom Landry and Charles M. Schulz were still alive. Edited January 2, 2018 by Peace Frog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also the first time two Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks started against each other in the NFL (Vinny Testaverde for the Jets and Doug Flutie for the Bills). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_on_CBS#HDTV_coverage 26 is Don / Chad?

shrader Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 It's not quite the same game, but I just realized that when I met my wife in 2011, it was a week or so after the Sabres got bounced from the playoffs. So this is the first time since I've known her that a Buffalo team is in the playoffs. She has no idea what she's in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLight5 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The UB Bulls had just played their first season as a Division 1 football team. As a sophomore at the time, it was awesome yet excruciating all at the same time, seeing as they went 0-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aware of that. As a videophile, it's just my standard with 1080i and 1080P available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 12 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Technically HD, but inferior to 1080i and 1080P. Not true HD. It was HD for the technology at the time, and qualified under the definition. A friend worked at CBS at the time, and we went to the 57th St studios to watch the broadcast (who had a HD TV then?). We all remarked that the cameramen needed to repoint the focus for the 16x9 frame. They were still centered on the LOS, which left big open spaces behind the RBs, instead of capturing more of the defensive formations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) On July 23, 1996, WRAL-TV (then the CBS affiliate in Raleigh, North Carolina; now affiliated with NBC) became the first television station in the United States to broadcast a digital television signal. HDTV sets became available in the U.S. in 1998 and broadcasts began around November 1998. Approximately one year before I left Western NY to move to the RTP region.

Bullpen Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Ten cent wings were still a thing Red Dog and Red Wolf beer existed AOL instant messenger did too Ditto for the Montreal Expos The Brewers just moved to the National League Shopping Malls were still a thing And video game arcades Personally: My son, in first grade at the time, was still a Bills fan, he's since jumped ship following 99 season to become a Titans fan, graduated HS, went to prison for a few months is now closing on his first house this coming weekend. (yeah a lot of changes). Left military service, worked in the civilian sector for seven years, came back and now I'm a DoD civilian. Owned two different houses, owned five different vehicles (only 2 I truly liked) I've been to over 300 major and minor league baseball games and seen two no hitters, one NLCS and one NLDS game each and three Triple A playoff games.
