ESPN Video: College Football Images of the Decade

If you are like I am, and pray to God you are not, you will find yourself getting irritated as you watch this video. Charlie Weis, Reggie Bush and Tim Tebow getting more screen time than our entire program. Hell, two thirds of our screen time is the Roy Williams - Chris Simms - Teddy Lehman merde à trois and Crabtree Dreaming shit in his head. But it ends better than it starts.

I can think of a number of images that I might have included and some that I might have left out. What glaring inclusions/omissions do you see?

Mostly it reminds one that college football is, if you squint just right, on the horizon.

h/t to The Godfather.

Also, buy this. Many of your favorite woofing scribes contributed. Hook 'em.

You tease. Now you have my football side all turned on with nothing to show for it. Don’t you know it isn’t polite to do that to a woman?

The only image of the winningest QB in CFB history is his stunned look at the Tech game? Are you serious?

Favorite moments/pleasing omissions:
- The obvious – Vince from the five – and choosing to end with that says something rather all of us that hate ESPN would care to admit – it was the best play of the decade, easily.
- BSU “gimmick” plays (ha ha ha ha)
- App State of Meeeeeeeeechigan
- Missing OU’s MNC in 2000 (I guess could be part of last decade?)
- Some of the great catches of the last decade
- Only seeing 30 seconds of Tebow (it could have been worse)
- ISU coach being proud (must have been after the NU win)
- Not seeing the frog draw or the 60 point beat-downs administered by OU

Best part – football is near.

there was a short shot of huepel with the trophy from 2000.

Crap…I missed that one. Oh well, nate posts here now so it’s cool.

Huh. I would have though an ag would prefer to see the cheap shot on McCoy.

Or maybe their national champi…..oh, wait.

Classy, Ag_in_TX.

I prefer this one:

Not a rebuttal video, but one we can all enjoy! Can’t we all just get along? (obviously that doesnt include OU fans)

Ag_in_TX, can you post the highlights from your Aggies’ bowl wins since 2002?

Sailor Ripley would give you the best nine seconds of your life. He sobs after though. And you’ll have to hold him.
 
Then, there is the matter of payment.

Speaking of moments of the decade, Vince Young’s Heisman that USC was holding is being returned to the Heisman trust:

I remember after watching the Boise-OU game and thinking about how the year started (starting QB kicked off team just a week or so before the start of fall camp), I couldn’t help but think that team seriously overachieved. And that, even in a loss, that was one of the best games I’d ever seen in my life. To this day, that might be Stoops’ best coaching job. We took the back door into that game anyway.

WWGDD:
I didn’t see the picture of Vince Young trying to bury his head in the turf circa 2004. You mean to say they left the irrelevant and petulant off of this little clip? Get the hell out of here with that nonsense.

hookem:
:35 – The legendary Woolfolk circus catch against Nebraska was from the 2000 season.
2:42 – Heupel proves definitively after the Orange Bowl that white men really can’t dance.

That said, I would’ve liked to see any images of Reggie Bush marked with a giant * over his face. Whattadouche. And I could’ve done with a bit more of VY’s heroics. As a Sooner, I hated the fact that watching him in 2005 was just so damned impressive.

Hence my impetus for starting this thread. I’m not trying to go uber-orange but that kid is amongst the best players to ever play the game.

Leave it to ESPN to enshrine Reggie Bush and show two short highlights of Vince, granted one of them was the fifth happiest moment of my life.

Reggie reminds me a lot of this dude who wowed everyone at this one party with a bunch of awesome card tricks. Then later he left, but farted on the way out. He stunk the whole place up and a lot of people left. It ruined a kick ass party.

Ever since then when I talk to friends about that party we seem to remember him and the party in one of two ways. The party with the dude who did all the awesome magic tricks or the awesome party that got ruined by the dude who farted.

To me, Reggie farted.
