I?m buying.
On a personal scale 1999 was more memorable personally. But this Egg Bowl has reached global levels because of how it played out. I think this is their 1983 Egg Bowl where they are the victim of something memorable happening.

Sell. Even though it was amazing to watch them piss the game away, I still say 1999 and 2013 are more important and memorable for a majority of State fans. Now it may end up being the most talked Egg Bowl because of social media, but I still don't think it surpasses 99 or 13. I mean I think the newer generation of State fans will always say 13 because it birthed the legend that became Dak Prescott and planted the seeds for 14. And I think State fans pre Mullen will probably always stick with 99. I still smile thinking about the Tirico call of CJ Sirmones wide open.
Sell, 1999.
I?d buy.. because winning kept Moorhead and who knows how that?ll turn out vs Om firing their coach.. roles would be reversed if the score was.. it?ll be interesting to look back in 5 years to see which worked out better.
I still think the Pick and the Kick.
Sell. As hilarious as it was, only the very end made it entertaining. Ugly, ugly game of no consequence otherwise.
Easy sell. Not even close.
It will be one of the top 3.
1.Pick and kick
2. Immaculate deflection
3. Piss and miss.
4. 2013 over time.
Three of the four went our way.
2014 will be the most memorable because I’ll never forget being that angry after a football game, or frankly ever.

That was talked about on every news outlet and sports half time show and every sports TV and radio show.Quote:

I hope not. The vulgarity is ugly.
Here's an interesting link for this topic. I couldn't pick one, but strange things have happened. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_Bowl#Notable_games
No sell 1999, 2007, 2013 then this year
It's my favorite because of how they lost it. They not only lost it, they got ridiculed by news outlets (not just sports outlets) all over the world. Virtually every outlet in the US picked it up. MANY overseas did. I've had that 'culture vs agriculture" stuff thrown in my face my whole life. Well the whole world got to see their culture crawling around like a peeing dog on the ground. It was pointed out in nearly every place that it had happened before with them too. They deserve what they got and are getting from that game.
Agree, at least we don't have to worry about Joe's job shopping getting in the way. I will say that I was about as made after this years UT game as I have ever been in a football game. I think the end of the Jackie years conditioned me to accept Croom but watching another coach tear down what Mullen built is painful to watch.Quote:

Dick"less" Pace's fathom interference call in the end zone to give Forcade a TD to end the game. That stung badly. Sometime in the Early eighties I believe.
If you weren?t in the stands when Emory Bellard crapped the game away offensively and defensively and put the game in a corrupt Dick Pace?s hands, you have no idea what insane anger is.
THAT was the maddest I have ever been at a football game, EVER. Nothing else comes even close.Quote:
