Yeah. I still think that first guy had his knee down when he threw the lateral, but what are ya gonna do 25 years after the fact.

Pac-10 refs suck. :)

Sorry. Third guy. He had his knee down. Should've called it back. Pussies.

My goodness, Mad Max...can't tell the difference between the first guy and the third guy? Sounds like a Stanfurd grad to me. :-)

Aside from the band geek that got knocked on his rear, how is this better than the Trinity University and Millsaps College game in October of this year?

Nobody ever heard of the schools in the "Mississippi Miracle" before the "Mississippi Miracle." In fact, when I saw the clip I thought it was a high school game because of the lack of fans in the stands.
