Here's some REALLY bad coaching

#85
BLUE STEELE
Waco, Texas | Sept. 11, 1999
Baylor had gone 4-18 in its previous two seasons, so when the Bears stood at the UNLV 8 with a 24-21 lead and time running out, first-year coach Kevin Steele went for attitude and one more score. But Rebels corner Andre Hilliard jarred the ball loose from Darrell Bush near the goal line. UNLV's Kevin Thomas scooped it and ran 100 yards for the 27-24 victory. To this day, coaches Steele themselves to take the knee.

ha! #27 on that list is hilarious. Typical Rice. Watch the video. Can't wait to see the #1 play tomorrow, I hope it's good.

I doubt it will make the list but SMU's Jerry LeVias should be on here somewhere.

And the Pony Express (Dickerson, James, McIlhenny) should be on there, too.

Anyone want to guess where SMU's 'death penalty' lands on the list? I say #15.

I thought Blue Steele was the look from Zoolander

Well the top 20 was dissapointing. What did Fluties play have to do with being the most important play? It was just another hail mary to win a game. Has happened several times. Surprised NO mention of the death penalty in that list.

ESPN's Maisel kissing a**. Flutie will be working as a College Game Day analyst this Fall on ESPN.

I, too, am surprised the DP didn't make the list. But, I'm also thankful that it didn't. The less that can be said about the DP, the better...for SMU.
