The 3rd and 57 sticks in my mind like yesterday. That was such a fun game to watch. Damn bells rang nonstop.

i was at state during this time. i was dating a girl from Boston that had never been to a college football game. Pats season ticket holder, but no college. this was her first. she flew in for it. after we won that game, and i stormed the field, she wanted to go back to my apt and watch a 17'in movie. i tried to explain that this was our programs biggest win EVER. so, i left her with my roommate and went out. partied balls off. she possibly still hates me. but she did message me on the Facebook and asked if i was coming to the UMASS game. so i've got that going for me.

Never understood why someone would take a safety there. Putting yourself down two scores with 9 to play.

I have never seen this before but this is asinine. "What should we do coach?" "Lets take a 17n safety and push this deficit to two scores!"—eta 8dog beat me to it. That's what I get for posting before scrolling all the way down. But still...And I know Spurrier is a genius and I don't know ****, but that would be a damn near firable offense these days. Just punt the damn ball on third down.

Spurrier was a hell of a coach, but one thing he would do from time to time..

was make irrational reactionary decisions when the **** really hit the fan....

I don't know that we will ever have another group of defensive players that are that good and that charismatic. They were not only good but had a great swagger without coming off as cocky ********.

Hey, man. You know she didn't actually want to watch a movie, right?

It might just be the jerseys & bigger pads of the era, but the entire D looks bigger than we've had in a while.

Also, that was the first & only time I rushed the field.

This^^

As far as the girl wanting to watch a movie, I think she wanted to make a movie. Priorities were up in the air that day.

Like Jung mentioned, I'm sure his roommate figured that out...
