44 years ago today, Pat Summerall and John Madden called a Division-III college football game.

Wittenberg vs. Baldwin-Wallace
October 3, 1982

During the fall of '82, in the second week of the NFLPA's 57-day players' strike, CBS needed to get creative with its Sunday afternoon programming.

So on October 3, the network sent its top NFL broadcast team of Pat Summerall and John Madden to Springfield, Ohio to call Division-III Wittenberg's game against its rival Baldwin-Wallace — each school with an enrollment then of about 2,000 students.

Three other NFL on CBS broadcast teams were also assigned to call Division-III games that weekend.

Wittenberg, Baldwin-Wallace, and the Ohio Athletic Conference were each paid $10,000 for the game.

The video includes the CBS open and pregame introduction by Pat and John, the first several minutes of the game, and select highlights from this historic CBS broadcast.

A very rare and fascinating telecast — and quite a thrill for those players, coaches, students, and communities.

@HarkenPatty This actually happened late yesterday afternoon - not sure why there wasn’t more urgency by the City to get this fixed.

ISLAMIFICATION? The foreign-born share of the U.S. population is now at a record high, surpassing even the “Great Wave” of early 20th-century European immigration, which led to a national consensus for restriction. In 1924, with broad bipartisan support, Congress passed strict immigration limits, created the Border Patrol, and imposed quotas to preserve cultural cohesion. Coolidge declared, “America must be kept American,” and the result was a sharp drop in immigration that allowed time for assimilation, laying the groundwork for a unified, thriving mid-century America.

Did you want footage of the goalposts going into the Lehigh river from the Fahy bridge? I did, too, and @TrentReeves06 provided. (Thanks, Trent!)
