It's all inclusive. Just check out #20.

[SoonerStormchaser]

SuperRoy had damn well better be #1!

[JLEW1818]

Vince Young beating USC will be number one..... now I'm going to go throw up.

Marshall's pick on the aggies in 2000 should be on there. SuperRoy.... Boise state ... uhhh.... and Vince will be

[rainiersooner]

I forgot that White came back into the game for two plays - on a friggin' torn ACL??? Wow.

[allenrayx]

OU's shutout of the cows 12-0 should be on there

[goingoneight]

SuperRoy
DeMarco burns the entire Tejas back seven 2007
OU Fake FG at Missour 2002i
Crabby last-second TD vs Tejas 2008
Kevin Eberhart's game-winnar vs us in 2007 :(
Stephen McGhey touchdown against whorens in 2007
Todd Reesing's game winnar against Missouri in 2008

Derrick Strait's PBU in the endzone @ OSU in 2000
Sack Robinson's fumble on the goal line in 2006 against OU
Hei-Sam goes airborne at OSU 2008

I admit I know more game-changers from or against us than I do other teams. I did put a few other big moments on there.

[allenrayx]

OU's shutout of the cows 12-0 should be on there

oooops i misread the post its top 25 plays not games my bad

[badger]

This is just Big 12 history... so... hmm... what might else be on there? Hmm...

2001 - Superman Safety? ...touchdown!
2002 - Q's career against Texaz ends with a bang
2003 - 65-13, 77-0 or 52-9
2004 - A&M converts fake FG and fake punt against us, still loses; wide field goal disappoints OSU student section camping on ugly orange mats ready to rush field
2005 - "he's in, are you?"
2006 - (i guess it's technically 2007) the d@mn liberty thingy, the duck ref that ruined the season
2007- colorado's field goal that sent their fans rushing the field
2008 - helicopter sam

Nominees for other teams:
Baylor - Elects to go for 2 in OT, beat A&M for first time in 13 years 35-34, fans rush field
A&M - Fired Fran sent out on win over arch rival - acts aggie with Stephen after the game, walks out on the AD that hired him in the press conference
Texaz - VY over SC, without a doubt.
OSU - Win over Tech at home in 2007 on dropped pass, followed by infamous postgame rant. Fyi, Gundy is 40

Hmm... the north now...

Nebbish - Disgruntled fans release "first TD" balloons in fourth quarter of Homecoming game (the few that didn't leave at halftime, that is), AD promptly fired, legendary coach brought back, cally fired at end of season, tee hee :D
Mizzou - Chase rides Lofton after INT :D
KU - Um... winning the Orange Bowl after sucking a lot at football in general?
CU - That d@mn field goal.
ISU - Nothing tops Seneca's insane Tech run.

[JLEW1818]

Marshall's Interception against the aggies in 2000.... probably the most meaningful play in Stoops history?

it seems many tend to forget it.... Farris still didn't know what happened

that's not exactly the top plays. more like the top games.:confused:

[JLEW1818]

its not plays nor games.. it's top moments

[picasso]

yeah but that's not what the title of thissin here thread says.

just sayin.

[JLEW1818]

yah your right....

Vincent will win best moment... that bastard!

[picasso]

dunno, there's been none bigger than T. Marsh taking it to the house at aTm in 2000.

[JLEW1818]

big fan of that!

[royalfan5]

Matt Davison achieving lifetime financial security by kicking the ball to Shevin Wiggins to keep Nebraska undefeated in OT at Mizzou in 97 has to be towards the very top.

you mean the play that was illegal?

[JLEW1818]

yah.. video?

[allenrayx]

its not plays nor games.. it's top moments

hmmmmm........it would seem that a moment in football would usually consist of a play.........and besides it says top 25 PLAYS......

[TheUnnamedSooner]

so what is the top 7?

[JLEW1818]

hmmmmm........it would seem that a moment in football would usually consist of a play.........and besides it says top 25 PLAYS......

not on espn, just the thread title

[allenrayx]

so what is the top 7?

CU and south carolina i think

[badger]

so what is the top 7?

They are almost going with player/team performances as opposed to moments/plays per se, so here goes:

1- VY over USC
2- Superman
3- Fran Fran beats Texaz, resigns
4- CU upsets Texaz for Big 12 title in 2001
5- Rebirth of MU/KU rivalry in 07?
6- Dropped pass leads to OSU over Tech, "Man, 40" rant?
7- Baylor opts to go for 2, beats A&M 35-34 in OT?

I know these aren't the top players/teams/moments/plays, but politically correct as a Big 12 has gotta be, they aren't going to give all the top plays to OU :D

[JLEW1818]

T. Marshall interception was more important than SuperRoy... but idk if it was a better moment.

[Salt City Sooner]

Matt Davison achieving lifetime financial security by kicking the ball to Shevin Wiggins to keep Nebraska undefeated in OT at Mizzou in 97 has to be towards the very top.
This bass ackwards message brought to you today by........:P

[allenrayx]

not on espn, just the thread title

your right i was going by the thread title

[Vaevictis]

1- VY over USC

Sadly, fourth down with 20 seconds to go in the national championship game, TD for the win... it's as good a pick as any :O

[EnragedOUfan]

The number one play will be Michael Crabtree's miraculous last second touchdown catch against Texas.

[Sooner98]

I forgot that White came back into the game for two plays - on a friggin' torn ACL??? Wow.

Am I the only one who NEVER knew this happened until today? That's pretty crazy.

[royalfan5]

you mean the play that was illegal?

I don't remember seeing any flags on the field.

[badger]

The number one play will be Michael Crabtree's miraculous last second touchdown catch against Texaz.

Oh yeah... completely forgot that happened :D

[JLEW1818]

The number one play will be Michael Crabtree's miraculous last second touchdown catch against *Texas*.

play, moment, game... whatever

Vince Young's run was the best and will be number 1

[Hella Sideburns]

Marshall's Interception against the aggies in 2000.... probably the most meaningful play in Stoops history?

it seems many tend to forget it.... Farris still didn't know what happened

i could watch this video every day for the rest of my life

how much differently is stoops' career judged if not for this play

[JLEW1818]

i could watch this video every day for the rest of my life

agree

[Wishboned]

I would think the OU/Nebraska game in 2000 had plenty of great moments.

[JLEW1818]

has number 6 moment came out yet ?

[soonerfan28]

Superman and Teddy. It's gotta be #1. Marshall's int and no call on Calmus against A&M.

[Collier11]

has number 6 moment came out yet ?

Just checked his blog, nothing yet


Superman and Teddy. It's gotta be #1. Marshall's int and no call on Calmus against A&M.

No way, Vince will be #1...I dont think you can argue with that final play against u$c

[soonerfan28]

No way, Vince will be #1...I dont think you can argue with that final play against u$c.

True. I thought maybe this had to do with games played in conference.

[Collier11]

I thought so too at first but it seems it is just best Big 12 plays or most important

[JLEW1818]

it was kinda a block in the back... haha

yah best moments , best plays, best games... all kinda go in one....

[badger]

Normally I would be 100 percent against Texaz being No. 1 in anything... but their awesome play meant more than ours, which will give them the nod over us.

1- Vince (because it was for the championship)

2- Crabtree (because it was the best play in the history of Texaz Tech football, hands down)

3- Superman w/Teddy Lehman (because it would be No. 1 if OU hasn't had so many outstanding plays throughout it's history... and it's a non-championship game)

[JLEW1818]

but would Stoops have a national title without T. Marshall pick???

[yermom]

#1 could be a combination of Uncle Rico in both Rose Bowls for Texa@ss

you can't really argue with VY in those two games, two MVPs in a row in epic games

[JLEW1818]

i think its time for a , T. Marshall Pick Vs. Roy Superman Williams play thread!

Badger I'll leave that for you to do!

[badger]

Badger I'll leave that for you to do!

I've started too many threads lately... you do it :P

[JLEW1818]

as did I..... the only reasonable answer is CK Sooner aka KC/Crismon....

[Salt City Sooner]

but would Stoops have a national title without T. Marshall pick???
That came with over 7 minutes to go in the game. Our offense had just completed a 12-15 play TD drive, so they were doing well at the time as well. TMarsh's play certainly made it easier, but it's very arguable that they could've come back without it.

[Collier11]

we were struggling that game big time, we needed that boost

yah... we were losing at the time... and the aggies had the ball.

you could make the same argument for Super Roy..... we were up 7-3, texas had the ball on their 3 ..... with a little over 2 minutes left???? OUr D held them to 3 points thus far....whose to say they would have gone 97 yards to win the game? doubtful

Nothing against the SuperRoy play, but we did end up losing 2 games after that.... not that it go spoiled or anything...but the Marshall pick was the year before.. (when we won the national title) .... but then again you cant compare later games to current moments...

So therefore my answer is

SuperRoy was the best moment..

T. Marshall pick was the most important.

[CK Sooner]

as did I..... the only reasonable answer is CK Sooner aka KC/Crismon....

5 dollah.

[JLEW1818]

ha!

[badger]

Moving right along.

6: A&M over KSU back in 1998 in OT.

5. Bois Estate :mad:

4. Nebbish beats Mizz in OT back in 1997.

The link is here. (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/big12)

[Collier11]

How is Boise beating OU a bigtime memory for the Big 12? I think he forgot what he was doing on that one...

[boomersooner82]

Superman at No. 3... about time for a positive OU moment given that we've dominated the conference.

Surely tech/texas '08 and USC's pathetic defensive plan from the Rose Bowl are his top 2

[badger]

It is possible that they will go with the end of the Nebraska/Michigan bowl game (Alamo, methinks) rather than one of those two plays... but highly unlikely.

In case you forgot what happened, Callyburger and Carr Carr came down to the final play, but before it was over, both teams' sidelines cleared and... you know, reminiscent of "the band is on the field, omg" of Stahnferd/Cal.

Nebbish won, but Cally still got fired when the Huskers had it up to here with all the losing :D

[SbOrOiNaEnR]

Nebbish won, but Cally still got fired when the Huskers had it up to here with all the losing :D

"We WILL NOT let Nebraska gravitate to mediocrity!"

Oh wait...

[OklaPony]

How about Baylor thrashing Texas in Austin to the tune of 50 - 7 back in 1989? I know that was one of my favorite moments.

Okay, so maybe that's not one play... but it sure is fun to read that score line, isn't it? :D

[JLEW1818]

wasn't big12

[OklaPony]

wasn't big12

But still... isn't it fun to read that score line? For some reason it always makes me smile.

[badger]

"We WILL NOT let Nebraska gravitate to mediocrity!"

Oh wait...

Why let Nebraska gravitate to mediocrity when you gravitate your own future as an athletic director toward mediocrity?

Early reports were that when Tom Osborne arrived back on campus that the Nebraska ath dept. didn't even look like one, that award plaques were hidden in closets and former athletes weren't welcome to drop by and visit practices or anything anymore.

They might as well have been some sh1t-tier school that didn't have NFL and All-American alumni and no awards to display at all with the way what's-his-face ran stuff :rolleyes:

[badger]

Crabbie is twooooooooo. (http://myespn.go.com/blogs/big12/0-11-37/Crabtree-s-catch-ranks-as-Big-12-s-No--2-memorable-moment.html)

You know what's coming next :mad:

[ouwapiti]

the texas tight end(?) catch and run while watching the jumbotron in the 96(?) big 12 championship between texas and nebraska has to be on there i would think

[Salt City Sooner]

the *Texas* tight end(?) catch and run while watching the jumbotron in the 96(?) big 12 championship between *Texas* and nebraska has to be on there i would thinkTake a gander at #10. ;)

[JLEW1818]

IDC if its NFL or not... this deserves any and every list ever made!!!!!

Texas beating USC will be #1.

[Salt City Sooner]

So, let mee get this straight. OU can win the conference 3X more than any other team in it's history, & win one of, it not THE most out of the blue NC's in recent memory (I'm sorry, but if you can't find at least one highlight out of this season, you AREN'T trying). Yet, when making the final tally of this list is made, OU has four negatives against all of one positive (the same number as Iowa State) memory. You might want to take a look out the window, Tim. The credibility of your list is flying by.

All that means is when someone beats us it is a huge upset and when we beat somebody it's expected.

[Salt City Sooner]

All that means is when someone beats us it is a huge upset and when we beat somebody it's expected.
I'll definitely agree with that now that OU's return to prominence has been established for a while, but not then. The fact that that season came out of nowhere was what made it as exciting as it was, & IMO, anybody who says that they were expecting it (sans MAYBE Stoops, he's just confident enough to have actually done so), well, I'm going to have to call baloney on. NOBODY saw that coming until it actually happened.
