Favorite and Least Favorite Football Game Of All Time (college or pro)

[R8erFan4Ever]

So what's your favorite NFL or College football game of all time and What is your least favorite?

Lets start with my favorite, Texas Vs USC in the BCS championship game at the rose bowl when Vince Young single handedly destroys USC. Reason behind it, well apart from how exciting that game was, is the fact that I really hate USC bandwagoners in the southern california area (where I live). These people all act like they went to USC and know the complete history when all they know is USC is the hype of the town for the last few years.

Leas Favorite Football game of all time.

Raiders Vs Patriots in the playoffs, the tuck rule game. Celebrating Charles Woodson forced fumble and the recovery. Thinking about the afc championship game against Pitt. Instead Walt Coleman goes into the booth and comes out with the "tuck rule" no fumble and ruins my year of football. When Walt Coleman dies, shortly after his funeral I will gather a few hardcore Raider fans and piss on his fresh grave plot.

I don't have a least-favorite.

My favorite was SMU at Texas Tech in 1982.

A couple of buddies and I bought $5 tickets to sit in the grass end zone on the north end of Jones Stadium in Lubbock. SMU had the Pony Express with Dickerson, Craig James and Lance McIhenny and was very highly ranked. There were several highlight plays in the game. On one, the great Gabriel Rivera chased McIlhenny down 40 yards downfield (Rivera weighed well over 300 pounds).

Texas Tech played their best game of the year and tied the score with a couple of seconds left.

On the ensuing kickoff, the SMU returner caught the ball, threw it backwards across the field to Bobby Leach who ran the ball back for the winning score with no time on the clock. The whole stadium was devastated. I was a Tech fan, but it was a great, great game.

It was overshadowed that day by the famous Cal-Stanford game where the band was on the field. Nobody hardly remembers the Tech-SMU game.

My all time favorite is the Monday Night game in 2005 when the Commanders beat the Cowboys.

The Commanders, who were getting beat up all game and losing 13-0, got touchdown passes of 39 and 70 yards from Brunell to Moss in the final 3:46, then their defense held on as the Commanders won 14-13. It was the first time we won at Dallas since 1995.


The Commanders hadn't gotten as far as the Cowboys 28 since their opening drive and hadn't scored a touchdown all season. Washington had lost 25 straight games when trailing after three quarters and Parcells' teams were 77-0 when leading by at least 13 in the fourth quarter.


The thing that made it even sweeter for the Commanders was spoiling a festive night for Cowboys fans. The 65,207 fans was the team's largest crowd in 10 years, and it was not only for the game, but to watch Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin join the team's Ring of Honor.


On fourth-and-2 from the Washington 46, Brunell hit Thrash for 20 yards. On fourth-and-15 from the Dallas 39, he threw a spiral that Moss ran under in the end zone.


The Cowboys' next drive was ruined by a holding penalty on Flozell Adams that wiped out a first-down catch by Keyshawn Johnson. One play after a punt, Brunell threw deep to Moss again and he again caught it in stride, never even getting touched on his way to the end zone.

Brunell picked on Dallas cornerback Aaron Glenn on both touchdowns.

My least favorite was opening night this season against the G-men. I thought we were in for a long season, and would probably end up 2-14.

So what's your favorite NFL or College football game of all time and What is your least favorite?

Favorite game: Still Super Bowl 17 -- John Riggins plowing over little Don McNeil on 70 Chip. Greatest...run...ever.

Least Favorite: Other then the whole Norv Turner Era. Or Spurrier Era. The 52-7 NE game last year is up there. Super Bowl 18 is there. The 1986 NFC Championship game against the Giants: 17-0.

Favorite: Hmmm....I could go with Cowboys over Steelers in Superbowl XXX. It wasn't for anything flashy, obviously, or grand that we did other than winning the Superbowl in a season where it seemed as if we were destined to lose it all due to all the issues going on around that team.

But my favorite ever is the 1994 NFC Championship Game that we lost against the Niners. We had our shot to make history and win 3 straight Superbowls but instead imploded early on and fell behind 21-0.

Now you might wonder why it's my favorite with that knowledge but this is why. That day, probably more than any other before or since, the Cowboys showed the heart, determination, and desire of a champion. We could have just rolled over and died falling behind 21-0 in seven minutes but instead those men fought, clawed, and kept going for every single moment of that game attempting to comeback and win.

Nearly did it too. I'll never forget how proud (despite being horribly devastated by the loss) I was of the team on that day.

Least Favorite:

There are a few I really hate (The Philly Pickle Juice Season Opener, 14-13 Moss Miracle against the Skins) but I'm not sure I could peg just one as my least favorite. My least favorite is almost always our most recent loss cause it's the most fresh in my mind.
