My memory of that game was being at a strip club that night also completely hammered off alcohol and maybe some other stuff

Will Allen game clinching "Let's Party Columbus" I feel should be on there, but they are all so beautiful in my.head, I can't bump any off.

It's like asking who my.favorite kid is.

Late to this party. So happy to go down member lane with so many great memories.

I want to add the play that Will Smith sacked Ken Dorsey with one punch in 2002 NC game and it was the very first play.

I’m willing to dispute it. Holy Buckeye definitely saved that game and kept the dream season alive. But the team still needed to beat Illinois in OT and win The Game before playing for the title.

Sawyer’s play was in a playoff semifinal, and not only prevented a game-tying chance, it was a turnover and an 83-yard score to basically seal a victory. For me, it definitely ranks higher than Zeke’s dagger run against Bama and it’s my top Buckeye play ever.

But it’s certainly a more enjoyable topic than ’most painful loss’, which gets revisited more than necessary,

I have to agree, for all the reasons you've already mentioned.

Also, even though we're only comparing individual plays/moments, I think the games they happened in has to be a factor. It's nitpicking but we're nitpicking greatness here after all...

Those Semifinal games are all-time Buckeye games, too.

Objectively, that Purdue game was pretty awful. And that is without even considering that Purdue team was not good. The game itself overall is a brutal watch. Yes, Holy Buckeye was legendary, but the 3 hour game surrounding it was...not good. If you don't believe me, try putting yourself through a full rewatch.

Also, rounding out the Mount Rushmore has to be Clarett's strip of Sean Taylor.
