If anyone is somehow too young to remember that...well, you just have no idea.

That was the physical manifestation of the exorcism of the Cooper years...and the Earl years......and all the close calls of the 70's...but mostly the Cooper years.


Woody, that was glorious.

Still get excited as many times as I've seen that clip!(saw it live too!) Maybe the best moment (out side of the Fiesta Bowl) of a very emotional season.

To me when I think of 2002 I think of that before the Fiesta Bowl.

Tried explaining it to my son like this; take Zeke's run against Bama and multiply by 50 maybe 100

One of my all-time favorite football moments. Was in New York for a funeral--had called ahead to be sure the motel's channel would be airing the game. Never gets old. Exhilarating.

I was watching the game with my God son (now a retired Coast Guard commander) and we quickly split a bottle of Korbel Brut after this catch and the agonizing minute or so that followed until the gun went off. Then we pretty much celebrated with anything we could get our hands on.

Will always feel like the Bucks got screwed out of a national championship on this day.

Later found out that my good friend of Ft. Lewis and Vietnam days, Lieutenant Jim Farwell (RIP) was watching his son, the back up QB of Jake Plummer, on the ASU sidlines. Sorry Jim, but even had I known that I would have still been rooting for my Buckeyes.
