I told my wife..."overtime. They will take a knee.". When RMiller dropped back. I was surprised. When we made the pick, it was euphoric.

1.) Banks' first pick 6 of Tebow in '09. I knew as soon as he snatched it, he was gone.
2.) The goal line stand verses LSU in DV last season. (That entire game was a favorite, really. We finally got the 800lb Purple and Gold gorilla off of our backs.)
3.) AD TD run verses Houston in '09. That game still chaps my hind end.
4.) The int first play from the line verses the Barn last season then the subsequent Bear TD that followed.
5.) Perkins in 2010 EB where he ran all over the bears in Oxford.
Too many more to even mention.
ETA: OM having the TD negated in 2011 EB and then Barry Brunetti getting annihilated a play later as the clock ran out. Perfect end to a rainy night.
I'm going with "Georgia- Nikoe Whitley blowing up the Georgia RB at the goal line causing what looked like a TD to be a fumble that of course Whitley recovered. Because Nikoe." as quoted from Todd.
That play was so big and such a turning point to me. We started the season 1-2. With that Georgia win, we went on to a 9 win season after what had previously been many insufferable seasons. After that play, I thought we can win this game. Also the first time in my life we beat Georgia at Davis Wade.
Hard to choose just one, but I can lump 4 plays into an elite category.
1. Dak's TD run against LSU. We'll be talking about that one for decades.
2. AJ's pick-6 vs Bama.
3. 1980 fumble recovery vs Bama.
4. 1999 Pick and Kick.
well you youngsters don't remember this one. whipping LSU ass

I wasn't trying to be a dick, man. Sorry if it came off that way. lol. It was indeed a remarkable play by Whitley though when you consider that he was basically playing with an injury that would have sidelined most and had surgery shortly thereafter. The man literally got from one end of the field to the other and was still able to strip the ball. With the kind of pain and impaired mobility he was dealing with, that's some want to.Quote:

Not sure if these are "all time" favorites, but a few plays that stand out in history to me are...
1) Madkin to Sirmones. That play made the kick-pick a possibility.
2) the screen passes against Michigan and Ole Miss the 1st Gator Bowl year (I love saying "1st"), where Perkins caught the screens and our WR's made decleater blocks

Then when we kicked off to Deuce, you can hear Corso going "No, no, no...." lol. It was awesome how excited the color guys got for that game.
Who got the call for the '99 EB?
It was Corso, Herbstreit, and I think Rece Davis, but it may have been Fowler. They were pulling for MSU so hard by the end of the game.
No, it was Tirico. ESPN still had him doing college football then.Quote:

My college football life began that year.Quote:

My junior year. Homecoming at Vegas verse Auburn. State down by 30 points. On third down Ballard decides to punt. Yes third down. We sucked that bad. I was one of 25 students left in the student section with my date. The Jim Beam was flowing only to make it better. Following the punt Auby scores three plays later.Quote:

Oh shit no don't give it to the senior homegrown David Fair hell no. Let's kick the PAT. And with justice the son of a bitch gets blocked and we lose 17-16.
I believe it was the final straw for Felker and the great Zacharias had seen enough and brought our program to Jackie Wayne. Which in turn brings us to where we are today. Light years from where we were and now a legitimate sustainable football school.
That's my favorite all time play. Thanks Rockey.
my boy. Thinking outside the box as usual. Well doneQuote:

Does anyone know the name of the infamous Auburn player who blocked the extra point? He was #45 I think and turned Auburn in to the NCAA that next offseason. Pretty much got Pat Dye fired.Quote:

And we all cheered when it got blocked.Quote:

This one is pretty solid.

I amend my favorite football play of all time to the final play of the Egg Bowl 2008. For obvious reasons.
This is my favorite basketball play of all-time
http://youtu.be/Dd-hPD3HXu4
One of my favorites was Madkin to Cooper to convert the 4th and 15 against Arkansas in 1998. That play kept the drive alive to put us in FG range for the win and SEC West title. Awesome.

His name was Patrick Ramsey and when the $ stopped coming he tape recorded some conversations with assistant coaches and went to CNN. Totally burned them.Quote:

It would have been bad enough going for the tie had our offense been dominated the entire game and we had just gotten lucky on a pick 6 or something. Then we go on to lose the egg bowl and you could hear Rockys tone right after after the game that he knew he had coached his last game at MSU. The rest is history. Those 2 losses were indeed defining moments in MSU football history.Quote:

Honorable mention from me would be Hunter Renfroe's catch at the wall versus Oregon State in the CWS. I was driving on I-20 coming back from Birmingham listening to the game. When the OSU guy hit it, I could tell in Jim Ellis' voice that it was gone. Even though the wasn't going to leave the yard, we all felt that it was gone off of the bat. Once he caught it, it put us up 1-0 in the CWS and helped spark the run that was coming.

Another basketball one -- when Varnado packed the hell out of Scotty Hopson in the SEC tournament championship game. (I think?)

I got to watch AJ's interception vs Alabama from the sideline. I'm in the highlight wearing my dress blues. I've never heard DWS as loud as this play.
Does anyone remember that dunk dampier made against uga in the sec tournament? ..... maybe the single most athletic bad ass dunk I've seen from a MSU player.
And Pork Chop lead the way.Quote:
