Re: New College Classics for 2005?
Quote: Yessssssss! That game was incredible. Both of them. But I remember that Michigan/Michigan State game. I watched that game live and I was going [censored] nuts when Michigan State snapped that ball with 0.02 seconds left. Holy crap that was one of the best games I've ever watched. I was pleased to see the 1997 Missouri/Nebraska game in this year's football game.  They might could put the 2002 Georgia/Auburn game in there. 4th and 15 with a minute left in the back of the end zone to Michael Johnson who went over the top of the Auburn cornerback to catch the ball. What a catch. What a game. I went [censored] beserk after that catch. My dad's a hardcore Auburn fan/alumnus and I'm a hardcore Georgia fan. GO DAWGS. The Auburn/Florida game from 2000 or 2001. I forget which year. The year that Florida was ranked like 2nd. The game was played in this enormous storm, practically a hurricane with all the wind blowing. I remember the Florida running back fumbling the ball into the end zone and Auburn recovering. That was critical. Auburn ended up winning with a monster 47 yard field goal in the driving rain into the wind. What a friggin kicker that guy was. I think that game made three straight game winning kicks for him and Auburn. The NCState/Maryland game from this year was really good. Maryland scored a TD with a minute left to make the game 20-19. The kicker then MISSED the PAT. Missed it. So all NCState had to do was run out the clock. But they kinda fumbled the ball on the first run from scrimmage. Maryland recovers. Maryland kicks a 40 yard field goal with like 2 seconds left to win. That same kicker who just blew the game on the missed PAT wins the game with the field goal. Heart warming game, if nothing else. My favorite of the wide right/wide left games was actually Wide Left last year. That was possibly the best game of football I've ever watched. 28-27. WHAT A GAME. Interesting note: My history teacher played football and soccer when he was in high school. He was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals minor league organization coming out of high school, but he didn't want to play baseball. He could have gone to Florida State to become a kicker or play soccer for the US Nationals team. He talked to Bobby Bowden, and Bowden told my history teacher that he would not start for at least 2 years. So my history teacher decided to play soccer instead. Turns out that the FSU field goal kicker broke his leg in the 2nd game of that season. Had my history teacher gone to FSU, he would have been the starting kicker from the 2nd game of his freshman year. I don't know which years he was in college, but he possibly could have been the kicker attempting those field goals in the epic Miami/FSU games instead of the shmucks who missed them. Turns out that my history teacher played soccer with Jason Elam (the Broncos' kicker who has the record for the longest NFL field goal) in high school. My history teacher got All-County honors OVER Jason Elam. He also played soccer with the kicker for the Carolina Panthers and knew him decently well too. |
