I think he's talking about the pick Jackson threw. It was a bang bang play. It could have been the play all of us would be talking about had our Cig coached team not respond. Because it resulted in the points for UW.

...lol! My bad. I forgot about that. Yeah, we were at the game as we were both saying we too thought it was DPI...

I was totally thinking about the one that Ponds ran back early.

That Ponds pick-six was the fruits of a great player backed by great coaching. Not some freakish feat of athleticism, but the type of mental, detail-oriented football that this staff and team leans on. I can't stop watching that play. The zoom out to get the crowd as he crosses the goal line gets me every time, too.

That pick 6 may be the most iconic IUFB moment of my life?

I think we're close in age, so just about any big play from this season may qualify as the most iconic <insert type of play> play of our lifetimes lol. Outside of a game-winning FG (AUSTIN STARR) course. But yeah, I can't come up with any that come close to that.

Michael Penix touchdown corner dive against Penn State. That is #1 for me.

I’d love to know what the decibels were on crowd noise after that. This team is so good. And honestly, our fans deserve it after all these years. Most fun IU team to watch in any sport in a long while for me.

Cig and the boys will have some work to do to take the top spot for "the most iconic game-winning 2pt conversion in front of 49 people in IUFB history."

That was the 2-point conversion, was it not?

From my spot in the NEZ, I'd put the decibels at approximately a lot of them.

I know... we were in section 26 about row 60 and that play was at maybe the 35ish? Where we were standing/watching was like looking right down the line when it happened. We had to see it on the big screen to totally see what happened and how it developed. It happened sooo fast. lol

It was also going to be a trick play (double pass) back to UW sideline. Ponds said.. no no.

But from my sofa vantage point it was sublime.

Ponds is getting a lot of well-deserved attention for that pick six. But maybe not enough attention is being given to redshirt sophomore/JMU transfer Tyrique Tucker. 

Here's the play; look at the UW QB's throwing arm. That's Tyrique's red-gloved left hand slapping the QB's arm at the exact right moment, resulting in a throw directly into the oncoming DeAngelo Ponds' arms.

Ponds was just name B1G Defensive Player of the Week.

Build the man his statue already. In all seriousness just make him the highest paid CFB coach.

Thanks Hova. This is the most Curt Cignetti clip ever.

I love his consistent consistency.
