Which game was most fun to watch?

Can't decide if complete domination of Texas or the dramatic win over #3 ranked OU was more fun. Perhaps both in different ways. I added UCLA up there as that was another complete domination of a storied program, but I don't think it rivals OU or Texas.

texas. why? Probably recency. I attended all three.

OU was a nail biter. Jerry-dome was one-of-a-kind. Very cool to be there.

UCLA'S was most distant time-wise. Very fun. Unga, Unga.

Texas is most recent and there is a sense that Texas should have been more difficult, also, maybe this is sweeter bc its been awhile since a big win, plus home field.



Nw if you threw in Texas A&M--only time I ever stormed field after. Great game, but Texas still better.

Miami--ugh. Sold my ticket to watch on TV with replay and to hear announcers. Biggest regret of my fan-life. But in order of big wins--

Miami

Texas

A&M-OU (tie for me)

UC!A

Michigan

Pitt

I went with Texas because it was the only one I saw in person.



I was in Afghanistan for the 2008 season, and the Armed Forces Network played the games live and was replaying the UCLA game later the next day. I was moving bases and would be in the air and would miss the live broadcast, but was going to watch the rebroadcast.



My company commander picks me up from the airfield and as we're driving back to the HQ, he says I'm going to love the BYU game because they won 59-0. I started laughing, thinking he wsa pulling my leg. "Sir, there's no way BYU beat UCLA, 59-0."



We get back to the HQ, I start watching and sure enough it's 42-0 at the half. Great day.

UCLA 2008 was electric. Best game I've ever been to.

Texas was a bit tainted for me because I kept thinking about how awful that UVA loss was just a week before.



OU was electric a full of bright hope for a special season without a UVA-like taint.

Saw UCLA and Texas in person and Oklahoma on TV. Had to go with Texas as it is always more fun to see it live. Also, I must admit that my personal expectations were not all that high going into the game on Saturday. I was hoping for a respectable showing with a glimmer of hope heading into Utah. It is always oh so sweet to have my tempered expectations obliterated with an exceptional win. My personal top 5 to witness in person at LES:

1. Miami, hands down the most electric night ever.

2. Wyoming 1984, 41-38 comeback win for homecoming to preserve a magical season (I was in school and on campus this season. What an unbelievable year it was).

3. Norte Dame 2004, 20-17 win...it was NOTRE DAME!

4. Texas 2013...550 yards and it was TEXAS!

5. UCLA 2008, 59-0...''nuff said!

I went Texas as well because I went in hoping we lost by less than 20. UCLA was sweet but Texas feels like a bigger accomplisment. That Texas A&M game has stuck in my mind since that day though. I still remember it being as loud as I can remember that stadium being. I was at Miami also but was probably too young to realize how big of a deal it actually was.

Wasn't at the Texas game. wish I could've been, but I was recovering from septoplasty surgery (Not fun). I was at the UCLA game in 2008, and it was the funnest game I have ever been to. Never have I heard a more electric crowd at a game. It was just a good old fun beatdown. :) The Texas beatdown is I think a more important win, but UCLA was still the funnest game I've ever been to.

I chose Texas, as I thought we could pull it out, but have often been disappointed with the outcome of games. Especially marquee games like this one... I always go into games thinking we can win because I truly believe anything can happen.



The wood-shed Texas game was fun because it realized (or should I say blew away) my optimism for the game that BYU would come out on top. It also made staying up until 12:30/1:00 AM EST much much more worth it, with 9AM church staring at me and a lesson to prepare... :).



I've had a smile on my face since the game on Saturday...

If your asking "most fun" than I have to go with 2001 vs Utah. 2006 was great but slightly less fun due to being at Rice chex stadium and have to temper my celebrating for my personal safety.

The mention of the 84 Michigan game that brought us the national championship trumps all of them for me. It's my write in vote. I love all of them though and this is a great thread.

I didn't get to see the UCLA game since I was running from a hurricane. UT game for me.

Wow, surprised OU isn't getting more votes. That was my pick. #3 team in the country, Heisman winner, hostile crowd and nobody gave us a chance. Plus I'm still worried about our passing game and bummed about UVA.

Ou or Miami were the best teams that we beat. Texas and UCLA were so-so those years.

Attended all 3. The two games that everyone thought we would lose were OU and TX. Most dominant performance between the two was TX game but OU had the drama with last minute victory/upset.

I watched all three in person as well. UCLA was probably the most fun. OU was the most gratifying. Texas was a relief.

The most fun game for me is usually the next game almost regardkess of the opponent because I love to watch my team - starters and reserves alike - and can hardly wait for the action to start. The next game right now is The Utes which is phenominal - but the 2 week wait is killing me.



But since you are probably asking re games that already happened, recency, impact nationally for the team and individuals, storied opponents with us as underdogs, arrogance of opposing fans and players, etc., factor in. Complex.



Michigan - NC

Miami - Won the Heisman for Detmer

SMU - Amazing comeback for McMahon

Texas - Recency, Brand, Improbable, unusual way it happened

K-State - Capped 14-1 Season in 1st Jan 1 Bowl

Missouri - Miracle finish for Steve Young

UCLA - Blocked kick at the gun - improbable

A&M - Polite, but arrogant fans

Oklahoma - Memory of Barry Switzer

TCU - Road vs #15

ND - Brand



Some Utah games probably fit in up there, but they all kind of run together in my mind. But yeah - the clanked field goal, 4th and 7, Staley, Harline, Andrew George, Max Hall's rant, are all up there somewhere.



The night Riley Nelson saved the program from a 2nd consecutive Jake Heaps led loss is up there somewhere because of how down BYU was at the time and the implications of such a loss. Then BAM. Running. Throwing. OL pushing the pile forward. Too bad he did not have the body to sustain that.



Tons of other wins vs U, UCLA, UW, ASU, A, WSU, Ole Miss, and other BCS teams.



Some SDSU, AFA, and other conference dog fights were fun.
