Not sure if you were referencing Saturday night's 8pm game but at least it was on ESPN. Although with a finish around 3am East Coast time no one outside of the the Pacific time zone was watching the "thrilling" (if you weren't rooting for Stanford) finish.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
