I post this not because of Red Grange, although anyone without an image of the Galloping Ghost needs to see this.
No, I post it because of the reader: the greatest college football announcer ever, IMO. Keith Jackson passed away last night, at the age of 89. His last game, fittingly, was arguably the greatest game ever played: the 2006 BCS Championship in the Rose Bowl. Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, Vince Young’s 4th and five romp to win the game for Texas over USC.
From January 16th:
This is a pretty comprehensive list of the fifteen greatest "sudden" plays in NFL playoff history. I lean towards the Super Bowl plays as the "greatest", generally, and would probably include some slightly less dramatic ones (Montana to Taylor against the Bengals in the "Hey look, there's John Candy!" Super Bowl comes to mind) because of that. But it's otherwise hard to argue with this list. Which one's THE GREATEST? You choose your criteria - explain it if you feel the need - and let us know your pick in the comments.
