Two weeks later, I'm still occasionally rewatching the A&M FG Block

[00Dawg]

I've convinced myself it's one of the best pure radio broadcast play calls in State history. It can't break the top list because it's not to win a critical game or title, but for quality of the call in the moment to me it's up there with Bulldogs Recover, 2004 SEC champs, Master's slam, McNamee at FSU, and the Legend's game-winning single versus Texas.
Am I wrong?
Should I not be disappointed it didn't at least make the in-stadium highlight film for the Arkansas game?

Thanks for re-posting this 00. I can't remember rewatching a clip this many times in a LONG Time. Gold. Pure Gold.

Forbes is the man!

The ground level angle is awesome. Gives an extra view into how freakishly athletic these Young MF's are.

Neil Price is really good. That was an awesome call.

The only clips that come close to watching as many times are from the CWS games.

Definitely a thing of beauty. But I couldn’t believe when they said it was our first blocked FG in 8 years

When there is excitement Neil is very good, but he just doesn’t fill the air like Jack could. Great play & call. I wasn’t even thinking block there, so it was unexpected, which made it even better.

Forbes timing on the snap could not have been any more perfect.

I watch the Dak stiff arm LSU run when I’m depressed

this is also great for a shot of serotonin when I’ve got the crooms

Considering the ESPN camera didn't even give us a look at the block at all.... yes the Hailstate video is way better. and in HD as opposed to ESPNs standard definition they are broadcasting in for all of our games.

The last one was against Kentucky, if I remember correctly.

Well, they were off by at least two years. We blocked a FG on the final play of the 2016 St. Petersburg Bowl (I checked the box score to make sure I was remembering correctly).

the energy of the team and the crowd on that blocked kick is a season moment no doubt, great stuff. the camera position, pan and the voice and the crowd noise, thats top shelf and it was captured so well

I remember this moment in 2014 and it was a before/after moment, watch how Dak stiff arms the db, then spins/drops the ball after scoring, you could tell this was not the only TD he was getting that day, the confidence and leadership from him on the field I will never forget, he was there to whoop some LSU *** that day

I miss Jack but Neil Price is really good.

I like the script logo, but the connection of the "t" to the "e" bugs me. It should flow right into the e, not be offset like that. No one writes like that. Other than that, I love it.
