\_ the poll is actually for the greatest call in sports, not
necessarily the play or the moment.
\_ I think it was that one handed catch off the tree near the
back fence when I was in third grade... oh the memories....
\_ Is someone stuffing the box, or do we really have 50% of the votes?
\_ i believe every time there's a 'most dramatic college play'
poll "The Play" always wins hands-down
\_ Yes.
\_ Where is the (high quality) MPEG/AVI/MOV? Of all the CS geeks

\_ Anyone from that Cal team go on and make an impact in the NFL?
\_ Yeah, it was one of the guys who raped a chick during his
second, third, or fourth year, but I can't recall which.
\_ Ignorants. Wot about the guy who was convicted of murder?
\_ He's in the Football Player Rapist cell block since

own wing, but they're working on it. |

A play and call imitated by kids and announcers ever since. The world waited and watched as Hank Aaron prepared to surpass Babe Ruth's home run record of 714. The match between George Foreman and title holder Joe Frazier in Jamaica is now overshadowed by the energy of Cosell's play-by-play in which Foreman knocked out Frazier in the second round, and Cosell yelled some of the most famous words in sports broadcasting: "Down goes Frazier! After Stanford grabbed the lead with a John Elway-led score with four seconds left, the Golden Bears took the ensuing kickoff and made five laterals to avoid being downed. Kevin Moen ran the final 25 yards around, through and over the 144-member Stanford band, which had spilled onto the field thinking the game was over. Starkey's description of the play ended with: "Oh my God! |
