Excellent call. That was a great game to be at till like the end of the 3rd quarter. That was a truly packed and crazy Ford. I missed that atmosphere dearly.

That could be true as a reactive roar. My reference was to the crowd noise prior to the 4th down play. Then obviously the roar after the sack was also loud.
All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand

Not at that one game . The crowd was locked in. Everyone stood on third downs and especially the fourth down play. I actually didn't have to encourage the rest of the section to get up!

Agree. That was a HUGE moment in the post death-penalty era. I remember the anxiety building as Taylor Thompson chased the scrambling UTEP QB around for what seemed like an eternity and then almost everyone in Ford going wild when he finally sacked him to clinch bowl eligibility. UTEP was reasonably competitive in those days and brought decent numbers to Ford...better than any of our AAC mates except maybe Houston.
