Shoe money to-night!

(annoying line, but I miss that show).

Greg Robinson was standing next to Tate the other day and the mere glow of their combined astral projections nearly blinded Denard Robinson. Sun glasses have been issued.

All in for Michigan, dawg!

Swindle in Vegas/Area 51. Throw in Oregon unis, Gerg Robinson, Nick Saban and the 3-2 wondergame.

The makings of a giant Trilateralist conspiracy.

I can’t believe that the Boise St./Oklahoma Fiesta bowl didn’t make that video.

Two words: Bluegrass Miracle.

I wish I had the Miss St/Auburn game recorded so I could make a mashup set to Benny Hill comedy skit music

How does TX/TT 08 make it over TX/USC Rose Bowl?

Personally, and for purely selfish reasons, I’m glad OU/BSU didn’t make the list. TX/USC absolutely should have been there. I also quite clearly remember Kordell Stewart’s miracle heave at the end of the Colorado-Michigan showdown in ’94.

Bama’s 1979 Sugar Bowl Goal Line Stand to win the National Championship should have been up there.

4th-and-7 on the 11 clinging to an eight -point lead and Holtz calls a cover zero with no safeties and doesn’t blitz. Jesus freaking Christ.

Personally, I would have gone with ND vs. Navy game where a Navy TE caught what would have been the game-winning TD inside the one only to have an Irish CB make the game-saving tackle by driving him sideways for about 12 yards. What year was that? Curse my faulty memory.

I’m from Alabama and therefore, “slow,” but I’m just now wondering why the Stanford band was running onto the field when the game was in Berkeley. If the visiting band in an SEC game ran onto the field at their rival’s stadium, I imagine the melee would be similar to the Anchorman street fight. Tridents and shit.

3 things…

1. EZ, I agree, I dont know why that gets the attention it does for a couple of “meh” teams.

2. Say what you will about Tom Osborne, but damn, they guy had balls b4 Les Miles, literally and figuratively. Kick the ex point, and the NC was his.

3. Running the triple option on 4th and 8 with the game on the line, and it working for a TD. Those days are long gone.

For purely selfish reasons (a/k/a homerism)….“Doering’s got a TD! Doering’s got a TD! Oh my! Doering’s got a TD!”

Yes, it was ONLY against KY…but what a finish…Freshman QB and all.

Too bad the video cuts out before Joe Starkey ends with the little detail, “There will be no extra point!”. Go Bears!

Bluegrass Miracle has to be there. Everyone loves Little Doug Flutie, but the LSU throw was more spectacular.

Auburn-MissState 08? How about Auburn-Florida 2007?

I stil have a picture of team celebrating that one over my desk entitled “Auburn Tigers. Ruining your national championship hopes,… after we’ve ruined our own.”

War Eagle!

Harris -

I think you’re thinking of the ’95 Army-ND game, when Ivory Covington stopped Ron Leshinski on the 2 PT conversion for the 28-27 win. Lack of ability to insert youtube link follows:

Glad to see that the Robinson’s house in Syracuse sold quickly so that he could get out of town fast. I wonder if the ’cuse alums that bought it have burned it down and scattered the ashes yet?

That was the 95 Army-ND game…no need for Youtube, lived it, and try to forget it. Not nearly as painful as driving the length of the field for the game winning score against Auburn in the Liberty Bowl only to lose due to a missed field goal from the 5 on 3rd down with 30 seconds to go…still hate we got rid of Sutton though

@ TB: Thanks. I completely screwed up that situation. I remember leaping of my chair and screaming when Covington made that tackle. He was giving up, what? 80 pounds? That was simply superhuman effort. (sigh) I miss the days when ND could pull out miracle wins like that.

@ EZ, I agree that Californians are more laid back about their football than Southerners, but you also have to factor in that people in our country were generally more civil back in ’82.

@ meatybob, you have to factor in that this was the Big Game. Having dated a Berkeley girl and having had a good friend who went to Stanford, I can attest that it’s a big deal.

In my view, any college football rivalry (be it Wabash–DePauw, Army-Navy, or the Iron Bowl) makes for a better game than Packers-Bears, Redskins-Cowboys, etc.

I highly recommend the documentary HARVARD BEATS YALE 29-29 if you get a chance to see it. It’s very cool to see game footage of a legitimately good, undefeated Harvard team go toe-to-toe with an undefeated, top-25 Yale team. Frankly, it’s too bad the Ivy League got shunted to 1-AA. I think it hurts interest in the sport in the Northeast and has made that region a bastion for casual fans and media types who want all of our sports to mirror the NFL or the NBA.

in re: The Play: hater’s gonna hate.

Take it away, Joe Starkey.

“The most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heart-rending… exciting, thrilling finish in the history of college football!”

The mere mention of the AU/MSU game sends me into a shame spiral.
