So many games to choose from: Tenn, Ole Miss, Penn St


The Cap One Bowl against Penn State? I wouldn’t include that in this list. I was at the game and it was a torrential downpour. Worst game like that I’ve ever been to and it was the worst field conditions I’ve ever seen football at any level played on. Completely nullified our speed advantage. Several times we had guys about to break out for a huge gain and chunks of turf would come up as they tried to cut. It’s a wonder no one was seriously injured.

I, too, was at that game, and I totally agree. It was the only game I have ever attended in person (I lived in Rockledge at that time), and was a huge disappointment. They may as well have played the game in a pasture. In addition, it seemed like the Tigers were always moving in slow motion. It also seemed to me like the officiating leaned in Paterno's favor--the penalty at the very end seemed to cap that off.
