Baylor. Had the patio door open, beautiful day. Brown had the interception and I yell "eff YEAH OH MY rough ridin' GOD ARTHUR rough ridin' BROWN I LOVE YOU" then I realize the neighbors and their 2 year old kid are out in their back yard

Down 9 with 6 minutes left. RGIII throwing bombs all day. That receiver making diving catches that you can't defend. It just seemed to be unwinnable.

The OSU game was the best game I believe. It was a bummer we lost but it was still an excellent match up.

As far as wins:
Definitely the Baylor game for me. The atmosphere in the stadium was ridiculous. That game was a major proving point for us. I would have picked the A&M game but I was oddly confident we would win out even during all the overtimes.

Really there are so many great moments this season it's hard to pick. So much awesome in one season!

for me probably a three way tie between a&m, miami and osu. all were good for different reasons.

Cannot even fathom what OSU would be like if we had won it. Even with the loss, it is just behind aTm.

Miami.  On the road.  Klein began his legend there.  "The Stand".

Just a great, great game.

aTm far and away...

I remember some saying that was the best game since the Big12 began. Can't beat 4OTs

texas, because it was kind of a JYC-style win, and it was texas.

Texas W's are getting a little repetitive to me.

Had I been able to attend our game against aggy, I definitely would have chosen that.

However, the comeback against the heisman winner is probably my favorite.

OSU, because all my friends (and students) got so sick of sucking on 9-6 they switched over to us! ksu wild wild cat indoctrination was never stronger.

This. Every year I think the streak is going to end and every year we win in some new, weird way. Plus, it had to be infuriating to horns fans what with the yardage thing. Throw in the pregame quotes from UT players, the fact that an entire UT class never beat us, and the controversy over the interference call, and this one will be great next year. Have you ever heard UT fans boo like that? I mean, wow. That was for us. Just an amazing night all around.

A&M. Best game I've watched in person other than 2000 NU game.
Sat by some BonFireAgs too so got to talk lots of trash the whole game

This is a tuff one.  What a season!  We are a 33 yard touchdown pass (EKU), less than a yard (Miami), 1 point (Baylor), 2 blocked field goals (Texas Tech), and an overtime (Texas A&M) away from being 5-7.  WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!   :emawkid:

It's like being asked to pick your favorite child. Missouri and A&M were the sweetest because of perpetual scoreboard. Continuing to own Texas was most satisfying. Baylor win was most unbelievable. Black sheep OSU was most thrilling. Miami is like the first born, which always has a special place in a parent's heart.

At Texas Tech had everything. Pick 6, down big to come back, Tech's 4 TO's, a KO return for a TD, two blocked FG's.

Jeez, it's like every exciting thing ever happened in that game.

Baylor was great.  :love: Arthur.  Miami  :love: the goal line stand.  UT was ugly as hell but it is the CTR, so :love: it.

I don't think my EmawmeterTM was properly calibrated at that point in the season. In hindsight, yeah, that win was HUGE, but I'll take the 4 overtime send-off game where Klein rushes for 6* TDs all day errday.

For me it was Miami.  By A&M and Texas I was used to the craziness that was this season, but Miami was the beginning.  Goal line stand has to be the most badass way to finish off a W.

Miami game.  Drew me in slow.  Sarcastically ordering champagne when we took the lead in to the half.  Then actually believing we could win.  Then every second of the goal line stand growing more intense and emotional about my Cats.  Was a really important moment for me.

I'll be perfectly honest here:  At 1st and goal, I had pretty much no hope that Miami wouldn't score on us.  Maybe like 5% or something.  That stand got me all geeked up about KSU football again.  Might not be a huge stretch to say it (and AB's INT v Baylor) really helped set the tone for a vastly improved defense this year.  (Yeah, it's still not great but JFC it's a crap ton better than last year's.)

I gotta say aTm, we had just lost a blowout to OU at home, followed by a heart breaker at OSU (Klein on the ground at the end of the game). We were emotionally tanked and could have easily folded in the heart of our schedule. We go 4 OT's and our starting roster is really banged up. We gut that out and save our season with that win. After that win I had no worries for the Texas game and was so thankful for the late season off week.

It helps that I was there for that game just unbelievable and I agree could have been the best game to date in the Big 12.


EDIT: We also never led in that game until OT.
