I was thinking we could each name a play or two and come up amongst ourselves what we believe to be the top 25 plays in Aggie Football History.

A couple of my contenders:

Gamble fumble recovery to seal the Bonfire Game

Terrance Kiel interception to seal upset of no 1 OU. He then hands the ball to Bob.

What are your contenders

- The Hit
- Johnny recover fumble and pass to Swope vs bama


This is actually pretty difficult when most of the Aggie football I have experienced has been the Fran and Sherman eras

i don't know if it's top 25, but one i was in person for was Mike Goodson's 64 yd TD run vs Baylor in 2006 that stuck out to me. that was balls-out fast. i've never seen a dude turn it up like he did on that run.

trying to find a video of it.

ETA found it: skip to 4:00

This one belongs on the list: Don't mess with the 12th Man

That was the most excited and most fun I have ever had in a single moment of a football game as a 14 year old screaming my head off standing next to my Dad.

This one was before my time but is still awesome: Bounce pass vs the sips

Kevin Murray's TD pass while getting pummeled to Tony Thompson who bobbled it and pulled it in to complete the 17 point comeback win over Baylor 31-30 and clear the path for a back to back SWC Title: 3:08 mark

2006 Red Bryant blocking the XP at oSU in OT was spectacular. I couldn't remember what Dave said, but i had no idea what happened for about 30 seconds.

2006 was a special year. average team that played pretty darn well and above their paygrade a lot of the year. close losses to Tech and OU kept it from being a really good year.

Jackie Sherril's third year. Had gone 5-6 and 5-5-1 the first two. Would go 6-5 this time. Went to Austin at 5-5 and the underdog. Beat them 37-12. At some point in the game (I'm thinking 3rd Quarter) we still had them scoreless. The game was over. They lined up to kick a field goal to get of the schneid and salvage some pride. Domingo Bryant blocked the kick right into the arms of Scott Polk. He trucked downfield 80 yards and got caught at the 5. It sucked that we ended up getting only 3 out of it.

It was a better play then than it would be today because in those days in college football you couldn't advance a fumble. That the ball went from the kicker's foot to Domingo's hands to Scott's chest was practically a miracle. It felt like all those decades of tu's always getting the miracles had finally ended. It marked a turning point in Aggie football. Things were pretty good for a while after that.

I think some Aggie even wrote a poem about it.

The Everett INT vs. Alabama probably did as much to kick-start the Kyle renovation as anything.

But the sack and fumble recovery after the Bonfire tragedy--that goes beyond great and well into Divine Intervention territory.
