"I called the right play, the players failed to execute"

Haven't all the copies of that game been destroyed?
Pretty damn good game acutally. Still gotta give credit for having the balls to go for 2 and converting.
The thing that pissed me off about this game the most was the fact that given their chance, the nubs kicked their field goal. The year before, when we had our chance, we missed ours.
There was also a play on the nubs last drive when they passed the ball and our DB had his hands on it and just missed an INT that would have sealed the game. Sooooo effing close.
2000, we nutted up went for 2, then squibed it to put them in fg position
I'd like to see espn classic run a "classic blowouts" week at some point. While the general sports viewing public would always like to see an unbelievable finish come out of every game they watch, I think often the most cherished victories for individual fan bases are the ones where their team just flat out steamrolled a team that they hate.
Aside from that rationale, I've always wanted to see the original game broadcast of the 2001 CU/NU game. I was at Folsom for that one, and while I wouldn't trade that experience for all the harems in the middle east, I've always wondered what the commentators were saying during that game... especially the first quarter.
Somebody on here had to have watched that game on TV, did the commentators ever audibly blurt out "what the **** is going on here?? Seriously, are you kidding me?? Holy mother of ****!" One inquiring mind wants to know.
I have a tape of that game and it is pretty funny. The commentators (musberger was one of them if memory serves) start the game just gushing about the juggernaut that is fusker football. Then CU scores. But they don't really stop their leg humping until the score is 28-0, at which point they start to really get entertaining.
