If I was Cronin I wouldn't have called a single TO in the entire game since SMU had only 6 players. He called another one with about 8-9 minutes to go. SMU players were exhausted but we got a ton of rest time between Cronin's Time Outs and TV Time Outs. I thought that was a mistake in this unusual situation

I still cant believe what I witnessed. Thought we were done the crowd could have folded when against all odds. Team was down. Instead Moody said "we got this"

i thought we were done. thought the crowd sucked in the first half, wasn't impressed to start the second (207 was dead minus my wife!!!), but when the team slowly gathered at mid court and the students stared the applause that all of Moody picked up on...priceless. i felt so much pride and 207 came to life!

Way to go team!

The emotional lift the fans provided to the team led to a historic comeback
on the part of the Mustangs. Glad I was there. Proud of the team and the fans.
My pulse is still racing and the game has been over for 3 hours. Guess I'll watch it
again on replay!

Loudest I have ever heard Moody. Louder than Temple and Louisville for sure. Wow. Still in shock at how awesome it was to will the team to victory. Pony up!

That was really something. Moody mad-ness. Won't be forgotten. just the scene and the way it went down with the students picking up the team at that last media timeout as described. Going undefeated is incredibly difficult with a full bench but these guys are making a loud statement with what they've done already. Nice to see them feel the love tonight.

On the game itself, shake is so damn smooth and under control. I think he clearly took some attention and ball pressure off of Nic tonight that got him a little more space to hit those daggers. We turned the ball over a lot but overcame it.

Not the loudest ever but not fair to comapair to any game from season one of new moody because of the game day presentation was so much better.

The applause that spread throughout the crowd was legit spine tingling.
The most special win of the LB era bar none.

Definitely not the loudest ever but it was special. The loudest IMO was California when Sir Sic Nic hit the three to win it. Then all of Moody started signing "New York, New York!"

Right after that moment, I told my brother....only thing missing is the theme to ROCKY!
