🏈 Question to REAL fans

[50+yeartidefan]

Got a question to long term or even younger fans
Any body record games and save them on dvr ( and maybe even permanent on dvd ) and actually watch them again?
I started in the 80s ( converted vhs to dvds) ... saved all games but now just sec or big nc games... but rarely go back and rewatch...anybody else do such things? Just curious

I'll DVR games and go back and rewatch them during the week leading up to the next game. I won't erase them until after the season though. If it leads to a Natty, I will leave certain games on so I can go back and watch while I'm on the treadmill or in my weight room. Sort of makes the off season easier.

Yes my friend, but what is this DVR stuff you speak of? Just kidding. My treasures date back to the VCR and I still have them. I also don't watch them because I no longer have a working VCR player and looking for another seems kinda silly to me. But I got them, back to the wishbone.

What we need, are better copies of the old stuff on YouTube. That will probably never happen, given that it can be difficult to watch early Bama games under coach Saban in HD quality.

I wish!

I do still have a few old VHS tapes. Like others though I have no VCR. I also have some games on digital saved on an external hard drive.

 

[Sid Youngleman]

Yes. I began taping televised games in the Eighties and switched to DVD in 2009. I still record all of them but trash the losses because I have no desire to see them again. Coach Saban's tenure has steadily reduced DVD wastage.

The funny thing is that even knowing what I'm re-watching is a guaranteed win, I still experience some tension at crucial points in the action. Of course, YouTube has largely rendered recording games unnecessary, but I enjoy doing it out of sheer habit. There's nothing like flopping down on the bed and watching the CFPCG in July.

I DVR all of our games and keep the good ones and delete the blowouts and loses. I currently only have the Sugar Bowl and Natty vs Georgia, as well as the Ole Miss game that I need to rewatch. I try and rewatch them so I can answer any questions my wife and kids may have about the game of football and just to watch our boys play because I may have been ball watching the whole game and missed the good deeds of the rest of our guys playing.

i dvr every single game....even as i'm sitting there watching it.

i don't have a means to transfer them to physical media (sure wish i did, though). i do own several BAMA dvds, though. there are several that have been released that i need to get, too.

 

[bamaledge]

Nope, that is one of my BIG superstitions. I don’t have many but that’s a big one. I will record the replay but not the game.

Record games and save to DVR?? What does that mean?

I download digital versons...easy to do, plenty of programs that allow you to save youtube videos.

 

[c5vetman]

I DVR games all of the time, and used to record to VHS and dvds, but I don't think I've ever gone back and watched the whole thing. Maybe parts of it, but even then, rarely.

 

[UAgrad93]

When they started selling dvd/blu ray disc versions of the Natty, I would erase it from my DVR as soon as I got it online or in store.

 

[Bamabww]

Yeah, I have probably 200 games from the Perkins thru Shula era on vhs but I’ve never watched any of them over again, start to finish.

 

[planomateo]

In ~15 years I lost 2 or 3 DVRs.

 

[Secondand26]

Record every game to DVR. Bigger games are then transferred to computer, commercials & halftime edited out, and then burned to Blu-ray.
Give to friends & family to help through the long spring & summer!
Have transferred several from VHS to dvd this way, including '92 Sugar Bowl.

Who here dealt with Simon Bott?

 

[sean]

for the 2009 and 2011 seasons, the released a dvd set of the entire season; every game broadcast, no commercials. but they've only done it for those 2 years. i wish they'd do the others. hell, i wouldn't mind having the entire 1992 season that way, too. i'd love a shelf full of championship season box sets, lol.

i actually wouldn't mind an archive of every single BAMA game that's ever been recorded.

 

[Splittine]

I keep 2 years worth on the DVR.

Is he the guy that did the tape on TF site? If it is I got a few from him! Yes, I paid him too!

 

[rick4bama]

Hey talking about games tape. Did any of you buy those tapes that was back in 1992-93? One was called the Century of Championship; Alabama 12 Nat Champ. All are VCR tapes. Also got two bonus tape with them too.
