I thought since today will be the last game at the Orange Bowl and I know there are many memories of the Orange Bowl I would start a thread to reminisce. My biggest memory would be ND-Colorado I believe it was 89 and Col scored with seconds left to take the lead. My dad punched the wall, turned off the TV and went to bed with every other word out of his mouth was rated X. I went to my room and turned on my black and white TV (YES, I SAID BLACK AND WHITE). #25 "ROCKET" was back for the return. He takes off 108 yds for the TD no time left. I was not sure if I should wake the sleeping bear, and now I am glad I did not. I looked at the TV and seen there was a flag. CLIPPING on the IRISH. We lost the game and the Championship  . But, if any of you remember there was no one close to clipping  . That was my biggest memory I did not say my best. |

Sorry bud,
Overrated Notre Dame has gotten way too many calls and have been way overrated for me to feel sorry for you. Like last year, they were rated 2nd in the Nation at one point....they wouldn't have finished 5th in the Big Ten last year, where they belong. They re in the heart of Big Ten Country, and they re really the main problem in this playoff/BCS mess.

Best memory..... Tommie Frazier leading the Huskers to a come from behind win against Miami in the 94 Orange Bowl to win the national championship.
Worst memory..... Turner Gill's pass batted down as Nebraska goes for 2 against Miami in the 84 Orange Bowl. I think that's the only time I've ever cried after watching a game on TV.
I also took my wife to the 93 Orange Bowl for our honeymoon. Watched Nebraska nearly beat Florida St. for the national championship. That was another heartbreaker, but I didn't feel as bad as I did in 84 because Nebraska wasn't even supposed to be competitive in the 93 game. Plus I had just got married....

I am not talking about last year because I agree with you they have been over rated the last couple of years. Also, they do not need to be in a conf. Most teams join a conf to get TV exposure and to help with recruiting last time I checked ND does not need help with either. Lets say they do join a Conf it probably would be the Big East all of the other teams at ND are in the Big East and that conf only has 8 teams. Now, back to the original post any good or bad memories of the Orange Bowl?

Flutie to Phelan in one of the greatest games ever has to be the biggest memory of games in the Orange Bowl for me.

The Michigan/Bama game a few years ago was a great game. Overtime. Michigan came back from 14 twice. Bama misses the extra point in OT to lose the game. Friggin' Tom Brady threw for about 7000 yards that night.
Most Bama fans will talk about the Orange Bowl that Bama lost for the NC. Namath says he scored, refs disagree.

Well i guess mine would be all of the above and than some having played there.
beating Florida state 10-9 in 1980, Jim Bert knocking down a 2pt conversion, beating Florida on a 55yd field goal by Danny miller with 30 seconds left.
and many more....
and yes i cried at the end of the Boston college game , and yelled when Nebraska didn't make it..
also against Ohio state. i also cried at there last game performance...
