I remember back in the mid 80's ('85 or '86) there was this lengthy hostage standoff involving a hijacked plane and all the major networks interrupted regular programming. It was a Saturday and that meant several college games wouldn't be shown. The standoff finally ended peacefully in the early evening. I'll never forget what Beano Cook said on ESPN -> "I'm happy it's over and all those people are safe, but I'm ready for a football game!"
