LSU's over the head bounce pass on the FG attempt in 2010. I was there and the stadium got so quiet and we slowly realized it was legal and legit on the replays.

Dexter McCleon getting burned on a 4th and 26 was quite embarrassing.

Flea kicker game vs Nebraska. Such a Mizzou way to lose.

Curley Hallman?
The beginning of the end for Hallman came on September 17, 1994 at Jordan–Hare Stadium against Auburn. LSU led 23–9 early in the fourth quarter, and the Bayou Bengals were in good position to end Auburn's 13-game winning streak . But LSU quarterback Jamie Howard threw two interceptions that were returned for Auburn touchdowns, tying the game. LSU regained the lead with a field goal, but when the Bayou Bengals were trying to run out the clock, Howard threw his fourth interception of the game, and incredibly, Auburn returned the pick for another touchdown, giving the home team a 30–26 lead. LSU drove into Auburn territory in the game's final minute, but Howard threw his fifth and sixth interceptions on consecutive drives, sealing the win for Auburn. LSU never recovered, and ultimately finished 4-7.

My serious reply would be if a team is leading with a score like 20-14. The team losing scores a TD with no time remaining. Score is now 20-20 and an extra point wins it. The team that was winning blocks the extra point and returns it for a TD which results in 2 points and a walk off win. 22-20.
Obviously not the craziest thing but it’s all I got.

A pass interference so blatant that it could've been fairly flagged for unnecessary roughness or a personal foul--take your pick--which was also witnessed by all 74,000 fans presents, both teams and their coaching staffs, the entire Fox broadcasting crew, and 44 million tv-viewers but somehow unnoticed by every single god damn ref on the field.

Went back and watched. Please elaborate as to where the offensive PI should have been.

Player coming off the sideline to make a tackle. Rice versus Bama, 1954 (I think). Tommy Lewis comes off the bench and tackles a Rice RB who had broken free and was running down the sidelines for a TD. When asked why, he replied "Coach, I was jus' so full of Ala-bahma."

1982 Cal v Stanford. “The Play” where Cal beat the band.

There was almost an immortal crazy moment way back in the early 80's in Marcus Allen's rookie year, when the Raiders played the Cowboys...
Allen was going off bigtime, making great plays. Well, you know how in college, the player is down when on the turf, while in the pros it's down by contact? Allen laid out to catch a pass, like a centerfielder diving to catch a slicing ball before it hits the ground.
He dove and caught it, and then held the ball straight up while laying stretched out on his side, to show the refs he caught it. Everson Walls, Cowboys corner, then ran up from behind, plucked the ball from his hand and ran into the endzone. This was before replay, so the refs just huddled about 5 minutes without making a call, while Madden said "y'know, if he didn't touch him, that's a touchdown". The commentators showed it about 10 times and you really didn't see any conclusive contact- Walls hopped over Allen's body, and took the ball like a handoff.
The refs eventually ruled that Walls must have touched his hand or something, and called the ball down by contact
. At the time, and to this day, I swear they made that call to save the embarrassment. We also saw something like this with a Saints/Colts game, where Peyton took the snap and ALMOST kneeled to end the half, and then jogged around the line and up the sideline. Broke into a sprint on the sideline and went into the endzone. Replays showed his knee never actually touched. Refs huddled and decided, I guess, it was too douche a move, and called the play down by him showing the kneel motion- which I don't think was a rule until later.
