Although I am old enough to remember Doug Flutie's hail mary pass, I am going to have to vote for the 2007 Fiesta Bowl between Boise State and Oklahoma. Jared Zabransky may not be NFL caliber, but he was amazing that whole year and I will never forget the Statue of Liberty play to win the game in overtime. That, of course, came after a furious Oklahoma comeback to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. But, not to be denied, Boise State pulled off a perfect Hook & Latter to tie the game at the end of regulation.

Having the running back propose to his cheerleader girlfriend during the post-game interview just added the extra icing. 

The game where everyone thought it was over, so the band marched on the field. But then the kicking team returned it for a touchdown, with tons of laderals as well as running over the band members. Epic! And as he crossed the end zone line, he knocked one of the band members to the ground.

That was pretty sweet. More of a play, actually, but that made the game so freaking awesome!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i didn't see that,but it sounds like a million ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'s!

XD There's a reason I posted this in the video game section!  I meant as in, lol, VIDEO GAME.

But, I like this discussion.  Please, continue.

OOPS! That was my fault. I never even noticed it was in the Video Game section. I saw your original post in the "most recent posts" section.

TECMO!

That's hilarious. Cause I was thinking the same thing, but I saw what YMT had posted, and assumed it was real football. haha, that's pretty funny. 

So for that... Why not for everyone post both? My real football example is already posted, and for game... Madden 07. I don't own any other newer Maddens, but I think this one is the best. Go Shaun Alexander forever!

The 1978 Atari Trak-ball (tm) controlled arcade game--FTW.

The faster you spun the trak-ball, the faster your X's and O's moved.  Until you got the side of your hand pinched between the ball and the deck. Yeeee-owch.

Good times; good times.

That was a real game.

NCAA 2006 simply because I love running the option.

As for games I've seen: Giants vs Patriots superbowl was a great game, Texas Tech vs Texas this year was Epic but my all time favorite is and always will be Boise St. vs Oklahoma.  The hook and latteral plus the statue of liberty play took an already great game to the top of the chart for me.

Madden 1996 (I think it was that year) for the Sega Genesis.

1. The ability to block the extra point attempt almost every time, forcing people to go for the 2-pt conversion all the time.
2. The ability to complete a Hail Mary pass unless your opponent defended completely to stop the pass, leading to huge scoring on both teams.
3. The ability to devastate someone going all out to stop the pass with a triple action running play complete with lateral.
4. The fact that everything was so new.  Even including the commentary!
Best of all:
5. The fun of playing with all the other college guys on the hall.
