Based on what I have seen it was probably because the thread lasted so long. When people start bumping a thread every few days the admins tend to lock it.

Kevin Sumlin after Texas A&M's comeback win over Duke in the 2013 Peach Bowl (Johnny Manziel's swan song).

Tragic bit of info: the photographer who took this shot (AP's Dave Martin) collapsed and died moments afterwards. This was the last picture he took

Aggie 12th Man stands alone in the rain at Kyle Field. Don't know why, but this pic has always fascinated me.

Brian Gamble after recovering the fumble to seal a victory against rival texas in the game immediately after the Bonfire collapse in 1999. Probably the most emotional game and win ever at Kyle Field. Every Aggie alive felt exactly as Gamble's posture indicates:
