Moments during events that made you "misty eyed"

When the Bruins fans sang the Star Spangeld Banner after the bombing.

And the Bonfire halftime for sure

The Aggie band walking off in dead silence at halftime of the '99 Bonfire game. Never heard a sports venue that quiet.

It's the ultimate reminder that rivalries in sports are not that important at the end of the day

I like jack bucks speech, his son is baby back but jack was good.

papi saying this is our fricking city in the first game back at fenway

Anything related to the '99 Bonfire game gets me choked up. shite, that was the first time I'd ever seen my dad cry (and he's a hardass), and I'm way more emotional than he is to this day I can't watch the video of the Texas band playing Amazing Grace without getting emotional (and I'm pissed that the networks didn't show the Aggie band's moving performance). That picture of Gamble (one of our linebackers) kneeling on the field with his hands raised after the defense sealed the game by forcing a fumble is one of the purest displays of emotion I have ever seen on the gridiron. Seems melodramatic but that win really meant everything to us as a school.

My last game as a student was special for different reasons. Got to be a part of the largest student section in the history of cfb to witness a game. Got to be a part of what has stood as the largest Kyle Field crowd in the history of the school. Got a chance to witness an epic defensive battle between A&M's Wrecking Crew defense and Nebraska Blackshirts defense (I love defense). Got a chance to see my little brother in TAMU football pads one more time. Got to rush the field with my girlfriend (whom I proposed to less than a month later). My heart was so full and I was so emotionally drained afterwards that I was just bawling walking off the field. Couldn't have asked for a better way to go out as a student.

I pooped so hard earlier that I felt like a soft-serve ice cream machine.

It was beautiful.

A guy I went to HS with and talked to on occasion was an Auburn student and a student manager for the football team from 2009-2012. In 2012, Auburn traveled to Mississippi State for the 2nd game of the season and had the opportunity to wear a headset as a student coach. He was the biggest Auburn guy I've ever met and he lived for football and Auburn University.

A couple of weekends later he passed away due to heart complication the morning of the LSU game. The next weekend that we had a home game, they honored him with a moment of silence before kickoff with his picture on the jumbotron and the flags on campus at half mast. It was a terrible tragedy but 87,451 of his AU friends honoring him in silence that day was that moment for me.

RIP Joe Bagwell
