Games-  clear preference for historical context and landmarks as opposed to actual game content/opponent quality.  The 2002 USC game is better than several of those and 2012 OU is better than the UT game etc.

i think historical ones are what you remember the most long term, so i'm ok with some/most of the list. i mean, we've had some great b burners w/ iowa state but you won't find any game with them in my top 10,

I can't argue with much of that at all.  They did a good job.

I completely agree with that 1998 NU win being the biggest win.  There is no doubt in my mind.  I wept for joy and pride at that game, and every person around me did the same.  I have never, ever, experienced anything like that at a sporting event before or after.  I'll remember that for the rest of my days.

Zimmerman was 1st team all big 12 twice and 2nd/3rd team all American twice. At least HM all big 12 all 4 years.

Hmmmm I wonder why that is.  Oh you mean All-Pro Roy Williams was also a safety at that time in the Big 12?  McGraw was very good and I know this isn't an NFL discussion,  but he is just obviously better.  I love Zimmerman.  I really do, but I just don't think he was as good.  This is my opinion.

two more data points on mcgraw...

1)i was an usher at a wedding with him in 1999. we did a great job ushering. no complaints from anyone.
2)my friends and i invented the term yam. it stood for yards after mcgraw. he had a bad shoulder for a good part of his senior season and would just kind of half arm tackle/bounce off receivers/runners of the ball.

Games: 2012 Texas is like, the 4th or 5th best game from the 2011-2012 run.

Best games 2011-12:
1. 12 @OU
2. 11 Baylor at home
3. 11 Texas A&M at home
4. 12 @ WVU
5. 11 @ UT
6. 12 UT at home.

If we're staying true to the safety positions and selecting a FS and SS, the SS should be Jarrod Cooper.

Brooks Barta had approx 2,000 tackles so I'm fine with him on there. It's apparent that 4 year players are valued much more than 2 year players, which I agree with.

Having '12 Texas instead of '12 OU is dumb. I'd also put '03 OU #1 and '98 Nub #2, but that's splitting hairs a bit.

'11 Miami was a bigger deal than '11 Baylor. It set the tone for the '11 and '12 seasons. Some of you *cough*CF3*cough* need to stop putting RG3 on a pedestal.

This is where it's hard to compare. SS in the 90s and early 00s defenses was more like another LB. SS now is more of another DB and often we play with 5 DBs. Offenses have changed so much.

Having '12 Texas instead of '12 OU is dumb. I'd also put '03 OU #1 and '98 Nub #2, but that's splitting hairs a bit.

'11 Miami was a bigger deal than '11 Baylor. It set the tone for the '11 and '12 seasons. Some of you *cough*CF3*cough* need to stop putting RG3 on a pedestal.

I don't care if Brooks Barfbag had a billion tackles. I had never heard of him until like noon today and I don't have to ever see him play or do anything to know that Arthur Brown was so much better at college football its not even funny.

And the Miami game was huge, but the Baylor one was bigger IMO, and I didn't just imagine RGIII being good at football. He won the heisman. Too many people struggle to seperate NFL failures from what guys did in college.

If we're staying true to the safety positions and selecting a FS and SS, the SS should be Jarrod Cooper.

Brooks Barta had approx 2,000 tackles so I'm fine with him on there. It's apparent that 4 year players are valued much more than 2 year players, which I agree with.

Barta has the 2nd most tackles in school history. Take it to the shame thread.

Brooks Barta was really good. I love Arthur too but it isn't like it's some egregious decision. They clearly mostly favored four year players.

quick sean snyder data point-

one of my friends was a "ball boy". during a really cold/rainy/snowy kstate vs iowa state espn game, his job was to keep a warm ball in an oven for sean. dr jerry punch asked him what he was doing and he gave the good dr a "no comment". warm/dry balls were not kept for iowa state.

Coop would probably have started at linebacker for this year's team.

Really surprised that nobody has taken into account pace of play itt. It would seem that, over the course of a season, today's linebacker would have about 100 more opportunities to make a tackle vs a linebacker from the mid '90's. Also. Is Simmaneau (eff the spelling of that name) on the team?

no need to apologize, but it's hard to take you seriously in this discussion if you don't know very many pre-2000 players.

I can't argue with much of that at all.  They did a good job.

I completely agree with that 1998 NU win being the biggest win.  There is no doubt in my mind.  I wept for joy and pride at that game, and every person around me did the same.  I have never, ever, experienced anything like that at a sporting event before or after.  I'll remember that for the rest of my days.

Yes, it was magical.
Smashing OU's ball(s) and taints in KC was very gratifying too.

The same style of play that has increased pace of play has decreased the impact of the linebacker. The traditional front seven is different now.

Well except for OU, which destroyed him.
