Hi Robbie! Do you remember filing your onsite report at The Mud Bowl in Ann Arbor in November 1979? You were with Channel 2 at the time. Jim Brandstatter was the MC for the pep rally the night before the Michigan vs Ohio State football game. Bo & Bob Ufer also spoke at that pep rally. My brother-in-law & I were standing next to you when you aired your report. Our families saw us on TV that night. My brother-in-law passed away recently. I’m a 1973 Michigan graduate. If you archived the pep rally, I’d be interested in obtaining a copy of that video. Also, Bill Bonds at Channel 7 shared his opinion on air about the decline of civilization, because 2 great institutions of higher education have stooped to fisticuffs on the gridiron. Then he dons his maize & blue hat & scarf while you cheer “Go Bucks” as his co-anchor. Classic TV! I’d love to have recordings of those 2 events if possible. Thank you. If you’re planning to attend Art Vuolo’s Birthday Party on September 30, I’ll introduce myself. We’re neighbors in Novi.
