Pairs perfectly with the Land Grant Trophy.
If you did not inform me that that was the Harford Whalers Theme Song, I would have never made the association with the music.
And I'm a Pens fan who remembers the Whalers before they became Hurricanes. Ron Francis Ulfie trade, etc.
CBS Sports Spectacular Theme circa 1979. This is Fanfare for the common man, performed by Emerson, Lake and Palmer.
Written by Aaron Copeland. Great piece of music
That and the one below are the two best ever. Ode de Joy has been used as the theme of the closing ceremonies of the Olympics for years.
....... Autumn Wind .... and the voice of JOHN FACENDA.....
Classic NFL Films. I was definitely familiar with the music but did not remember the title.
I believe ELO's Fire on High was used by CBS Sports Spectacular in the 70's as well.

Off-topic, here's Ode to Joy (Ode an die Freude) in the great final scene from the movie Immortal Beloved. When you consider Beethoven was deaf when he wrote the music to Ode to Joy, it is mind boggling. The end of this Youtube clip mentions that he could not hear the many ovations during the concert, the audience threw hats and handkerchiefs up in the air so he could "see" their enthusiasm...
I can't find a video of it being used as a sports intro/outro but I seem to remember one of the networks (CBS?) using Fire on High as a theme
I'm not sure why, but when I heard the Whalers song, it reminded me of this. Fast forward to 2 minutes in to get to it. 😂

The MNF theme song used when Howard Cosell did the half-time highlights.
So this says ‘clean, extended version’. Does that mean there is an R rated version?
Along with the Sport Spectacular always liked the instrumental on 80s Wimbledon.
That was the first song I thought of and couldn't find a video of the sports intro anywhere. Wasn't it ABCs Wide World of Sports? I seem to remember it ending with track runners coming to the finish line.
