You’re correct to assume college fans are more passionate than NFL. College football is allot like soccer in that it’s more localized so it means more to the fans, more traditions, more history, more rivalry’s. Having been to both, the vibe at Auburn vs Alabama was very similar to the old firm
@@kabirconsiders let me know if you want to come to Auburn vs Alabama bro lol I get free tickets to all Auburn games as I work for the University. I can get you into the student section which is basically where our “ultras” are located in the stadium
@@TheNewMode wait you do? is there anyway I could pay you for a ticket to next year's game? My dad is a big big Alabama fan and I want to surprise him. If not I understand
@@joshuabolton3866 we’re not allowed to sell student tickets to bama fans for obvious reasons, but a regular ticket I might could do. Let me text around and I’ll hit you up if I can find some. That for sure would be a great surprise!
One bit of context that gets left out is not only are all of these huge plays, but almost every one of them is either a massive upset, a brutal rivalry, or a championship game. Almost none of them were without supreme fan interest even before you consider how great the play was. I wish they didn’t put music over this. College football calls are some of the greatest in the world IMO. They get SO into their calls.
when auburn upset the tebow gators my cousins now husband was arrested while storming the field. The front page of the paper had a picture of him being held down by cops lol. He met my uncle a few days later and said my uncle was just sitting at the table reading that copy of the paper and laughing.
I just hate that you don't get the full impact of it from the Alabama endzone camera like the CBS broadcast, where you can see the play developing as Davis fields it with Uncle Verne calling it.
I met him at the airport in San Diego and the guy on the other side of the bar called him out. " Hey you are that quarterback from Florida." He looked like a 12 year old boy that his dad said he wasn't proud of him. I still laugh at that.
Yeah, that was a sad and ugly thing to see. In some ways even worse than what happened with Ryan Leaf. Young men with lots of talent, but lacking in maturity / character.
Kabir I was at that Florida vs Tennessee game that play was amazing live you should have been there the SWAMP was rocking. You have to witness an american college football game
He's playing Arena football this year. Which should be more his style since with his skill it won't matter as much that he's partying instead of working hard
13:04 was one of the greatest passes by Tua Tagovailoa when Alabama won the 2018 national championship game back in January 2019. I watched that game in it's entirety. Such excitement. If you watched closely, Irv Smith Jr. accidentally knocks down a photographer when Alabama went to celebrate that touchdown pass LOL! The last clip was called "The Kick Six" when Auburn upset Alabama back during the 2013 Iron Bowl. Alabama was going to make a field goal attempt during the last second of the game, when it was short of the goal post. There was an Auburn punt returner beside the goal post line. When the football veered off, the Auburn punt returner caught the football, and took off with it towards the other way. Auburn won the game 34-28. There hasn't been anything like that since then. Coming from an Alabama fan, that was a lucky save for Auburn that evening.
I am glad you enjoyed it. It is a little painful as an Alabama fan since our losses always make these lists. Invading the pitch or storming the field is something we sadly see more than our share of. The last time every SEC team stormed the field it seems it was after beating Alabama at home.
Kabir!!! Thank you! The one you said was probably one of the best catches you've ever seen was the University of Central Florida and our QB was Blake Bortles to WR JJ Worton! I remember watching this game on TV live and could not believe they won that game!
Cool to see a Brit with such genuine reactions lol. I liked how you would weave when the runners were making their way down field. By looking at the scoreboard, you can see that some of these were upsets and rivalries, which make these last second plays even more awesome.
One thing that’s awesome about Army/Navy is that it’s a rivalry that exists in the Military branches, which we bond over. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Wyoming fan (like myself), a Michigan fan, or an Alabama fan; when the last week of the regular season comes along, all soldiers chant “Go Army. Beat Navy.”
@@wyolaskan1868 that's awesome to hear. All year round we'd hear about how beating Navy was huge for the big Army because it gave them morale. I remember asking some of our task force trainers from Fort Drum and they basically said they didn't even know there was a game played each year.
This whole video could have just been Texas A&M vs LSU 2018 😂🤣 it went in to 7 overtime’s...... and was the greatest game of football I have ever seen. If you haven’t watched the whole overtime highlights of that game, you NEED TO. Greatest game of college football in the last 50 years. Anyway, great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Being a college football fan, especially for a team that isn't a "traditionally" great team, is a labor of love. My dad never misses a game, and on any given Saturday in the fall, he's going to either be in his team's stadium or watching them on TV if it's an away game. They've had a few good seasons and produced some amazing NFL talent, but man if the majority of seasons haven't been heartbreakers at times. I've seen my dad go in full-on depressions at times. College athletics is the only thing in the US I think you could find a comparison for the loyalty and religion-like quality you talk about in English football. Professional teams are too far away from most people and the fact that a team could hypothetically be moved at any time, it's hard to get SUPER invested. Universities don't move, and they've been around longer than professional sports in the US. People can trace their allegiance to college teams all the way back to the 1800s, usually. It's really special, and the number of people that get into it (the huge stadiums you see) is a testament to that. Also, I'm sure you're aware but some of these special moments had less to do with the actual play, but rather the weight of the game, the history between the two teams, specific players, etc. For example, that clip where you talked about pitch invasions was Ole Miss beating the perennial powerhouse that is Alabama football. Beating Alabama is monumental no matter what, and when you do it in monumental fashion like that, people are going to go wild.
Thanks for breaking this down for me Em! Yeah it definitely seems there are parallels between our lives for British football and yours for college football. That sense of loyalty, always being there come rain or shine, through good and bad!
Such true words. As a NC State fan our university has had good teams, some great bowl wins, and sends a lot of players to the NFL, but never seems to climb to the top of the ladder. Yet, year after year, I go to games, cheer my heart out, and have hope.
I was at two of the games in this video (Michigan State against Baylor and Wisconsin). There's nothing quite like seeing something like that in person.
Some of these plays definitely deserve their own reaction. Plays like the Kick Six, (as an Auburn grad still one of the most unforgettable days of my life) “Trouble with the Snap”, and the Miami game winner against Duke to name a few are soooooo much better and goosebump inducing if you know the context behind them. Great video!
College fb has a different breed of fans. When i went to Texas State the fb team was one of the worst in the country but we'd still pack the stands in torrential downpours to cheer on the team.
I watch the second half and all 7 overtime’s of the LSU Texas A&M game and it was easily the best game I’ve ever watched. Also, as a Georgia fan I had a few different emotions during this video😂
I'm pretty sure that game changed the rules of OT in college football. You can't have more than 3 OTs anymore right? We stayed up forever watching that game. It was awesome.
It's nice to see someone across the pond who recognizes that college has, and by far, the most passionate fan bases. There is no US sport with as much pageantry and none whose fan bases live and die by the results of Saturdays in the fall. There is nothing like a college football Saturday on the fall; it almost makes me want the summer to go by faster when we here in Michigan need to enjoy the summer as much as possible!
@@kabirconsiders as some who grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan with season tickets to the 110,000+ capacity Michigan stadium (the large one you mentioned in your video) I can tell college football is electric. I don't know if you've seen it but my favorite (and the most hype) tradition is from the University of Wisconsin where between the third and fourth quarter the entire stadium jumps while the PA system plays "Jump Around". The whole stadium literally shakes and it's one of those seismic events. It's an absolute must see, and even though Wisconsin is a rival of my team Michigan it makes me get hype. I'd recommend you see videos on best places to "tailgate" in college football, (I'm assuming you don't tailgate in the UK or it's called something else). Tailgate is essentially massive outdoor parties outside the stadium attended by tens of thousands of people. They start before the sunrise of gameday and end well after sunset.
I still remember hearing about that last one. Back in that season Alabama was the #1 ranked college team and just imagining being at that game, it must have been a crazy charged vibe for the Auburn fans. It was one of the annual bowl games(semi championship games).
Have you done a video on college footballs best traditions or mascots? Things like the War Eagle, Mike the Tiger, Ralphie, the UofI wave, jump around, etc?
American College Student here. "Fanbases are more passionate." I have been saying this my entire life when people inevitably always ask why I love NCAAF astronomically more than the NFL. Good analysis @Kabir Considers. You've Nailed it.
@@kabirconsiders You too big dawg. Think you'll make it out to one of the London games this year? Would love to see a vlog... maybe compare an NFL atmosphere with a British Football one? There's a video idea...
Here for the Michigan State plays. Especially the Michigan game. Hee hee hee Love it. And that game against Baylor was epic. Was just about to give them up for dead when they started making that comeback. Go Green!
@@kabirconsiders I understand. I've been to Spartan Stadium numerous times. Never been to UM. They are our hated rivals. You know what I'm saying. But it would be fun to be there. I have to admit that. Grudgingly. :-)
Fun facts about the Michigan vs Michigan State games, local news stations broadcasted and posted articles stating Michigan won when in fact one of the craziest most unlikely scenarios happen causing them to lose in the final seconds. That’s TOO good especially being a Buckeye Fan!
Love these reactions. I recently found a video of the top NFL plays. Can I just say Walter Peyton was on it in 5 positions. If you'll remember one of my requests that you did. Peyton is my pick for number 1.
12:30 we lead for zero seconds of that game, but won. The same as the previous clip at 6:35. In both games, we literally never had the lead except for the final score...we took the lead with zero time remaining in both games. That was an incredible season. Hard to believe that it was almost six years ago. Time flies.
What makes these great moments are generally playoff games won or lost. Take note of them scores if you watch again and you'll have an even better understanding as to why they're great.👍
I was a student and was at the game at 10:05 most incredible moment. We had an undefeated season but were close to losing against our rivals in the last game. This was the last major play of the game and he ran it all the way back
@12:02 The best part of that is that game goes to 7 Overtimes. More points are scored when regulation time is over than during. After 4 quarters 31-31 and end 72-78 Fun game
One thing about college football is that the season is short and intense: 12 games, once a week, and a bowl game about a month later. Then from Jan to Sep you wait and you wait and you wait! Soccer, is just the opposite. There seems to be almost no offseason. I mean, right now, they have the Euros. But as soon as that is over, they have a preseason tour and BOOM... new season in September. The off-season of Soccer is just enough time to get a cup of coffee and sit down and before you know it, there's a match on.
@@kabirconsiders By August, I feel like a kid at the window of a candy store that is closed and is due to open soon... face against the glass, breathing heavy, pounding on the glass "let me in!!! LET ME IN!!!"
@@kabirconsiders Also have to keep in mind these are University students and they do not get any real leeway to not complete their studies on time as well. It’s very physically draining too
Yeah, British football fans live it like American college football fans do. Very similar passion. Here's a story for you: I'm a lifelong fan and graduate of the University of Alabama. The south endzone of Bryant-Denny Stadium is directly across the street from a large city cemetery. When I was a student there in the early 90s, the guy buried in the corner plot facing the stadium entrance had a living trust that paid to decorate his grave site in team regalia on home game days. Not even death can stop a Crimson Tide fan. When I heard the story of the "F You I'm Millwall" guy, it resonated. I could totally picture his Alabama counterpart being like, "Nuh uh, not in Tide Country, asshole!" Oh, and American sports jargon tip: the pose held by the guy at 6:38, with his hands on his head and his mouth hanging open in disbelief, is known in America as the "surrender cobra." I've struck that pose many times myself. LOL
The Army Navy game a serious deal, all the cadets including the ones NOT playing in the game, which is basically the whole student body, have to know how many days in until they play each other again.
Stanford football home games are the best! The Stanford University Campus is called "The Farm" and its huge! There is a big forest in the middle of campus and the football stadium is in the middle or that forest. The day od the game, a lot of people park their cars and trucks and RVs in the forest and camp out there all day and night. Once the game starts at night, they turn on all the floodlights at the stadium and being in the dark forest with no lights and then having this big lighted up stadium in the middle looks like something out or a Sci fi movie! It's so cool! And all the bleachers in the stadium are metal and everyone in the whole stadium bangs the bleachers non stop while the game is playing. It sounds like the ancient Roman Colloseum with the Gladiators!!!
@@kabirconsiders yeah its closest you are going to get on the West Coast to the atmosphere at college football games in the Midwest and the South. That and Autzen Stadium in Eugene, OR where the University of Oregon is. At a lot of other west coast schools, football is not as rabid as the rest of the country for some reason.
Like that catch you was saying earlier comparing it to O'Dell Beckham, that game was Temple vs Central Florida, at that time UCF was undefeated, and needed to comeback to maintain thier record and contention for a Bowl game
12:02 this LSU vs Texas A&M is maybe the craziest college football game ever. I would recommend doing an entire video dedicated to this one game. I believe it went into 7 overtime periods before A&M finally won.
9:50 that play was called Rocket. And I watched it in the same pub(there seems to be a pattern here). I was euphoric. Sadly, we lost the rematch to Wisconsin later that season for the Big Ten Championship.
You should watch the college football teams entrances! My whole family went to Virginia Tech and huge fans. The come out to “Enter Sandman” by Metallica and the whole stadium goes wild! We are huge supporters of our college and there is nothing that compares to the excitement and energy in the stadiums during a college football game! Go Hokies 🦃
That play at 10:53 with TCU and Oregon looked pretty mundane, but it sealed the biggest bowl comeback in college football history. TCU was down 31 to 0 at halftime with a 3rd string quarterback, and managed to win the game 41-47.
That was West Virginia University (WVU) that ran that ball the entire length of the field, against Clemson. I was watching that game. You can imagine how loud every West Virginian was cheering, not just at the game, but all over the state. WVU had a good season that year (2018 I believe). WVU football is the closest thing we have to a pro team, in our state.
Keep in mind additionally not only are these teams often times tremendous rivals but the conferences themselves are rivals as well for the quality of the game that they play within the conferences individually. Southeastern conference and the Big Ten conference is respectively do not have much respect for conferences in the western part of the US because they play such a large passing game with not as much defense. The NFL is known for its passing game and the university games are changing to be more pass-oriented, whereas the original American football game, where the “tough guys” played what was known as “3 yards in a cloud of dust”, meaning strong but brutal running games is still defended as real football. Both running games and passing games and the combination of the two all have their good points. Understanding the emotion behind the games that one in these highlights and the actual players who made the scores are really important part of understanding the actual games themselves. Just as in the UK there are a long-standing football rivalries the university rivalries are often over 100 years old.
You made a lot of good points William! It’s fascinating learning about the age of some college rivalries, it’s nice to know there’s genuine history there
That last clip was the infamous "Iron Bowl" game where Alabama tried to kick a field goal, fell short. However, it was caught by an Auborn player and he ran it in at the last moments of the game. It was a shocking win for sure.
The snow game was the traditional Army-Navy game, between the US Military Academy (Army) and the US Naval Academy. It doesn't matter if the teams are very good or not, the game is a fierce rivalry. All of the fans from the two schools show up in full uniform to sit in the stands, and the energy in the game is electric. In the early part of the 20th century, both teams were excellent, some of the best college football in the country, and the rivalry then was intense.
One of the oldest football mini games to play to practicing catching a Hail Mary pass is called jackpot. We used to play it all the time back in the day. The game was to 1000 points. You won’t have a whole by himself call out a number and throw the ball high and deep. The group of people would then try their best to catch it or stop someone else from the catch
Can’t wait for football to start this yr! Big college football fan but looks like I’m gonna have to start watching pros again or at least one team ( Jaguars). Excited to see what Trevor Lawrence and Etienne are gonna do and wondering where Tim Tebow is gonna come into this. Wondering what Meyer is thinking!!!
@@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend Yea, when you have a NFL team you tend to cheer for them. For the South and a lot of other States you either didn’t have a team or your college team had better players than your NFL team.
Just depends on region tbh. The Midwest and south are the cradles of football fr. Like those environments in college in those 2 areas are crazy. Hell even pro environments in the Midwest are insane
@@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend I think it starts with good highschool FB and watching those players go on to college especially if they stay local in college. N. east highschool FB has very few D1 prospects.(NY avg 3 yr) Take a State like NC ( avg 100 yr) known for college basketball but still they ranked 10th in having the most D1 FB prospects. Then you have States like Fla, TX, Ca, GA, Mis, LA tons of freakish highschool prospects.(avg 175-350 yr)
That first stadium is in my home town and the population of the city nearly doubles on game day. Never goes under 100k attendance no matter who we are playing, or how bad we are.
That Ole Miss vs Alabama game when the fans stormed the field, the Ole Miss fans climbed up the field goal post, tore it down, and broke it, and proceeded to take it to their homes or dorm rooms. Now the field goal is reinforced to the ground
Jonny Manziel was a mega-bust in the NFL and i think he is playing in some weird football league somewhere. Also you should react to that texas a and m vs lsu game, this reminded me of that
At 10:45 you have to react to that 2014 ohio state buckeyes team. It was the first year of the playoff and they went through 3 qbs bc of injuries and all the trials and tribulations (including the death of a teammate) they went through that year really cemented the playoff and its just a great story overall. I highly recommend looking into it at some point. There's definitely some pong videos just bc of how doubted they were. It was the last time a major upset really happened in the playoff and it was the first ever playoff in college football history. There's probably some long videos to get the full view on everything but that team was super talented and no one had them winning it. Everyone picked against them. I also recommend watching a video about the 2003 national championship Ohio State vs Miami. It's a great game that signed the end of one dynasty and the beginning of a new one with tremendous backstory with how uber talented the 2 teams were. With debatable flags and everything. Just 2 great stories with 2 great upsets.
I think the college stadium ur talking about is the biggest stadium and thats for both college and pros. Heck there are several college stadiums that are bigger than most if not all pro stadiums for the amount of people they hold. What the pros spend their money on it the shine and comfort.

After reading your post, I can hear Joe Starkey calling the end of the famous Cal vs Stanford game 1982
Also in the Miami hurricanes clip @8:55 there were multiple lateral passes they didnt show. Epic play last play.
Actually I think some of these are ok without context. Mainly bc the reaction is super crazy.
@@kyleblasingame1709 Not to mention at least 3 Blatant clips ( Penalties )
Yep storming the field... typically happens after upsets and or after long droughts of losing streaks
when auburn upset the tebow gators my cousins now husband was arrested while storming the field. The front page of the paper had a picture of him being held down by cops lol. He met my uncle a few days later and said my uncle was just sitting at the table reading that copy of the paper and laughing.
@@johnpatton7533 990
And if you beat Alabama or Georgia.
Some schools, Clemson particularly, have a tradition of having the fans and players gather at the center of the field after the home games.
This was a dope compilation haven’t seen this one before
Yeah it was awesome!
Starting around the half way point I said to myself that they were saving kick 6 for the end. My gut was right
Bingo!!
I just hate that you don't get the full impact of it from the Alabama endzone camera like the CBS broadcast, where you can see the play developing as Davis fields it with Uncle Verne calling it.
That was a GLORIOUS end to that game!
What makes this compilation even more special is that most are game winning plays in the last minute/seconds of the game.
10:40 Johnny Bust preferred cocaine to football is the short explanation.
I met him at the airport in San Diego and the guy on the other side of the bar called him out. " Hey you are that quarterback from Florida." He looked like a 12 year old boy that his dad said he wasn't proud of him. I still laugh at that.
Yeah, that was a sad and ugly thing to see. In some ways even worse than what happened with Ryan Leaf.
Young men with lots of talent, but lacking in maturity / character.
Yep, I called that one. Johnny Football developed a long-term case of the brown bottle flu.
You don’t understand how crazy that last one was. Look up “Saban got a second?”
I’ll check it out!
Got 2
8 Years later and the Kick Six (the last highlight) still gives me goosebumps. That season was Magic for an Auburn fan, even if it didn't finish well.
I can’t wait to watch an auburn game from the stadium. The atmosphere looks phenomenal

Manziel thought partying and drugs was more important than football. So the Browns cut him.
Also he just didn't really have the physical talent to be a great NFL quarterback. He never should have been drafted in the 1st round to begin with
He's playing Arena football this year. Which should be more his style since with his skill it won't matter as much that he's partying instead of working hard
He failed in the Canadian League, XFL, and the AAFL also
To be fair, anything is better than playing for the browns.

Professional teams are too far away from most people and the fact that a team could hypothetically be moved at any time, it's hard to get SUPER invested. Universities don't move, and they've been around longer than professional sports in the US. People can trace their allegiance to college teams all the way back to the 1800s, usually.

Some of these plays definitely deserve their own reaction. Plays like the Kick Six, (as an Auburn grad still one of the most unforgettable days of my life) “Trouble with the Snap”, and the Miami game winner against Duke to name a few are soooooo much better and goosebump inducing if you know the context behind them. Great video!
Thanks mate :)
As an OSU grad I'll always appreciate Trouble with the Snap lol
Your reaction vids make my mundane "work from home via COVID" lifestyle more tolerable. Cheers bro.
Thanks for the kind words mate, comments like this make my day ☺️
College fb has a different breed of fans. When i went to Texas State the fb team was one of the worst in the country but we'd still pack the stands in torrential downpours to cheer on the team.
I watch the second half and all 7 overtime’s of the LSU Texas A&M game and it was easily the best game I’ve ever watched. Also, as a Georgia fan I had a few different emotions during this video😂
I'm pretty sure that game changed the rules of OT in college football. You can't have more than 3 OTs anymore right? We stayed up forever watching that game. It was awesome.
It's nice to see someone across the pond who recognizes that college has, and by far, the most passionate fan bases. There is no US sport with as much pageantry and none whose fan bases live and die by the results of Saturdays in the fall. There is nothing like a college football Saturday on the fall; it almost makes me want the summer to go by faster when we here in Michigan need to enjoy the summer as much as possible!
I can’t wait to experience it for myself, the fans get so into it!
@@kabirconsiders as some who grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan with season tickets to the 110,000+ capacity Michigan stadium (the large one you mentioned in your video) I can tell college football is electric.
I don't know if you've seen it but my favorite (and the most hype) tradition is from the University of Wisconsin where between the third and fourth quarter the entire stadium jumps while the PA system plays "Jump Around". The whole stadium literally shakes and it's one of those seismic events. It's an absolute must see, and even though Wisconsin is a rival of my team Michigan it makes me get hype.
I'd recommend you see videos on best places to "tailgate" in college football, (I'm assuming you don't tailgate in the UK or it's called something else). Tailgate is essentially massive outdoor parties outside the stadium attended by tens of thousands of people. They start before the sunrise of gameday and end well after sunset.
I still remember hearing about that last one. Back in that season Alabama was the #1 ranked college team and just imagining being at that game, it must have been a crazy charged vibe for the Auburn fans. It was one of the annual bowl games(semi championship games).
4:55 I’m SO GLAD you love this play! One of my favorites of all time.
It was genuinely awesome!
Storming the field is a crazy experience.
I need to experience it at least once!
Have you done a video on college footballs best traditions or mascots? Things like the War Eagle, Mike the Tiger, Ralphie, the UofI wave, jump around, etc?
I haven’t! I’ll put it on my list
I watch some of my state team catch on handed a couple of times and one behind the back
Y’all boys I know this comp hit different if you watch them live 10+ years ago goosebumps whole video man. College football 🏈
I can’t wait to get to a college football game, the atmosphere and vibe looks amazing
Great compilation of greatest CFB moments of the last decade, but it missed a big one in 2018 when #2 Ohio St was upset by Purdue
I need to check that one out
American College Student here. "Fanbases are more passionate." I have been saying this my entire life when people inevitably always ask why I love NCAAF astronomically more than the NFL. Good analysis @Kabir Considers. You've Nailed it.
Thanks brother :)
@@kabirconsiders You too big dawg. Think you'll make it out to one of the London games this year? Would love to see a vlog... maybe compare an NFL atmosphere with a British Football one? There's a video idea...
College football fans are often Alumni of the school the team is from so they have better connections than they do for an NFL team.
Here for the Michigan State plays. Especially the Michigan game. Hee hee hee Love it.
And that game against Baylor was epic. Was just about to give them up for dead when they started making that comeback.
Go Green!
I need to see Michigan play at the stadium at least once, the atmosphere looks incredible!
@@kabirconsiders I understand. I've been to Spartan Stadium numerous times. Never been to UM. They are our hated rivals. You know what I'm saying. But it would be fun to be there. I have to admit that. Grudgingly.
:-)
Fun facts about the Michigan vs Michigan State games, local news stations broadcasted and posted articles stating Michigan won when in fact one of the craziest most unlikely scenarios happen causing them to lose in the final seconds. That’s TOO good especially being a Buckeye Fan!
Love these reactions. I recently found a video of the top NFL plays. Can I just say Walter Peyton was on it in 5 positions. If you'll remember one of my requests that you did. Peyton is my pick for number 1.
Thanks Elaina ☺️ yeah from what I’ve seen of him, Walter was such an awesome player. Gone too soon!
The kick six is one of the best college football moments ever in my opinion
That clemson wv game was the best thing to ever happen to us, as a clemson fan
Also the 2008 Alabama game
Please react to the craziest college football season of all time, by kto. It's a great video and it shows a little bit how college football works.
I’ll put it on my list, thanks for the suggestion mate!
seconded. great video to show how crazy college football can be
The last play they showed doesn't do that play justice....EPIC PLAY!!! Alabama vs. Auburn
I need to find highlights of the match
12:30 we lead for zero seconds of that game, but won. The same as the previous clip at 6:35. In both games, we literally never had the lead except for the final score...we took the lead with zero time remaining in both games. That was an incredible season. Hard to believe that it was almost six years ago. Time flies.
As a MSU Spartans fan, I must have watched that fumbled punt snap for a touchdown well over a 100 times. Always brings a smile to my face. 😁
I just hope you don’t get claimed for the music. Love this channel
I am in love with everything you do. I got your back thick and thin, UGA bulldog. woof woof keep em coming!
Thanks so much brother ☺️
You should definitely react to crazy College Basketball (March Madness is crazy) moments. A packed arena full of passionate fans is absolutely insane
I did this one a couple months back. It was crazy!
Funny how he turned his head probably during the greatest block in college football history, lol
What makes these great moments are generally playoff games won or lost. Take note of them scores if you watch again and you'll have an even better understanding as to why they're great.👍
Yeah, they seem like absolutely huge moments of great importance
I was a student and was at the game at 10:05 most incredible moment. We had an undefeated season but were close to losing against our rivals in the last game. This was the last major play of the game and he ran it all the way back
Sounds like one of those memories you won’t forget in a hurry!
@12:02 The best part of that is that game goes to 7 Overtimes. More points are scored when regulation time is over than during. After 4 quarters 31-31 and end 72-78 Fun game
9:21 had the pleasure of seeing this one in person
I bet being in that crowd was crazy!
One thing about college football is that the season is short and intense: 12 games, once a week, and a bowl game about a month later. Then from Jan to Sep you wait and you wait and you wait! Soccer, is just the opposite. There seems to be almost no offseason. I mean, right now, they have the Euros. But as soon as that is over, they have a preseason tour and BOOM... new season in September. The off-season of Soccer is just enough time to get a cup of coffee and sit down and before you know it, there's a match on.
Its pretty clever to keep the season so short. Really increases the demand and thirst for games!
@@kabirconsiders By August, I feel like a kid at the window of a candy store that is closed and is due to open soon... face against the glass, breathing heavy, pounding on the glass "let me in!!! LET ME IN!!!"
@@kabirconsiders Also have to keep in mind these are University students and they do not get any real leeway to not complete their studies on time as well. It’s very physically draining too
You need to watch the first week of College Football this year the first week has Crazy Matches Alabama vs Miami one of them
I’ll definitely be watching!
Yeah, British football fans live it like American college football fans do. Very similar passion. Here's a story for you: I'm a lifelong fan and graduate of the University of Alabama. The south endzone of Bryant-Denny Stadium is directly across the street from a large city cemetery. When I was a student there in the early 90s, the guy buried in the corner plot facing the stadium entrance had a living trust that paid to decorate his grave site in team regalia on home game days. Not even death can stop a Crimson Tide fan.
When I heard the story of the "F You I'm Millwall" guy, it resonated. I could totally picture his Alabama counterpart being like, "Nuh uh, not in Tide Country, asshole!"
Oh, and American sports jargon tip: the pose held by the guy at 6:38, with his hands on his head and his mouth hanging open in disbelief, is known in America as the "surrender cobra." I've struck that pose many times myself. LOL
The “surrender cobra”, I love that name 😂
The Army Navy game a serious deal, all the cadets including the ones NOT playing in the game, which is basically the whole student body, have to know how many days in until they play each other again.
I need to put an army v navy vid on my list
@@kabirconsiders th-cam.com/video/cBvzpxjRkVQ/w-d-xo.html
Here is the intro for last year's Army Navy game
Stanford football home games are the best! The Stanford University Campus is called "The Farm" and its huge! There is a big forest in the middle of campus and the football stadium is in the middle or that forest. The day od the game, a lot of people park their cars and trucks and RVs in the forest and camp out there all day and night. Once the game starts at night, they turn on all the floodlights at the stadium and being in the dark forest with no lights and then having this big lighted up stadium in the middle looks like something out or a Sci fi movie! It's so cool! And all the bleachers in the stadium are metal and everyone in the whole stadium bangs the bleachers non stop while the game is playing. It sounds like the ancient Roman Colloseum with the Gladiators!!!
I need to see a game at Stanford ASAP!
@@kabirconsiders yeah its closest you are going to get on the West Coast to the atmosphere at college football games in the Midwest and the South. That and Autzen Stadium in Eugene, OR where the University of Oregon is. At a lot of other west coast schools, football is not as rabid as the rest of the country for some reason.
I don't know if you know this but Nortre Dame's helmets are painted with real gold and polished to shine on the field.
Wake Me Up is such an underrated song, Aloe Blacc is an underrated singer. Damn, this music brings back so many good memories
Yeah that song was HUGE when it came out, in the U.K. it was on repeat on all the big stations
It's kinda horrible as background music for football though
@@pats4700 except for It Ends Tonight they remind me of my younger days playing football
Ann Arbor Michigan. The big house. 120,000 after the upgrades a few years back and home of my personal favorite college team the Michigan wolverines.
Also forgot to mention when Michigan plays a home game Ann Arbor becomes the 3rd largest city in the United States
I wish this video and some of the other videos would do a little summary explaining what lead to that moment, and the significance of that result
Yeah a summary would have been useful
Like that catch you was saying earlier comparing it to O'Dell Beckham, that game was Temple vs Central Florida, at that time UCF was undefeated, and needed to comeback to maintain thier record and contention for a Bowl game
UT vs USC 2006. One of the greatest college football games of all time. In my opinion, of course
12:02 this LSU vs Texas A&M is maybe the craziest college football game ever. I would recommend doing an entire video dedicated to this one game. I believe it went into 7 overtime periods before A&M finally won.
I’ll put it on my list!
You should react to Texas vs Oklahoma from either 2018 regular season or 2020 regular season. Those are two games that were insane!!
I’ll put them both on my list!
9:50 that play was called Rocket. And I watched it in the same pub(there seems to be a pattern here). I was euphoric. Sadly, we lost the rematch to Wisconsin later that season for the Big Ten Championship.
That moment in the pub sounds like one of memories you’ll never forget!
All them relay drills, oaklahoma hitting drills, and work outs etc.. for GameDay to lay it out on the line...
The army versus Navy is the tradition the tradition of this game is great I watch this game every year and makes me proud to be an American
So if you haven't yet go watch the Miami 8 lateral part vs Duke University. To get to the touchdown was 🤯🤯🤯🤗
I’ll put it on my list!
You should watch the college football teams entrances! My whole family went to Virginia Tech and huge fans. The come out to “Enter Sandman” by Metallica and the whole stadium goes wild! We are huge supporters of our college and there is nothing that compares to the excitement and energy in the stadiums during a college football game! Go Hokies 🦃
You should check out the Michigan vs Ohio State rivalry, in my opinion one of the best in sports history
I’ll check it out!
That play at 10:53 with TCU and Oregon looked pretty mundane, but it sealed the biggest bowl comeback in college football history. TCU was down 31 to 0 at halftime with a 3rd string quarterback, and managed to win the game 41-47.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend watching highlights from the 2006 Rose bowl game of USC v Texas.
That was West Virginia University (WVU) that ran that ball the entire length of the field, against Clemson. I was watching that game. You can imagine how loud every West Virginian was cheering, not just at the game, but all over the state. WVU had a good season that year (2018 I believe). WVU football is the closest thing we have to a pro team, in our state.
Keep in mind additionally not only are these teams often times tremendous rivals but the conferences themselves are rivals as well for the quality of the game that they play within the conferences individually. Southeastern conference and the Big Ten conference is respectively do not have much respect for conferences in the western part of the US because they play such a large passing game with not as much defense. The NFL is known for its passing game and the university games are changing to be more pass-oriented, whereas the original American football game, where the “tough guys” played what was known as “3 yards in a cloud of dust”, meaning strong but brutal running games is still defended as real football. Both running games and passing games and the combination of the two all have their good points. Understanding the emotion behind the games that one in these highlights and the actual players who made the scores are really important part of understanding the actual games themselves. Just as in the UK there are a long-standing football rivalries the university rivalries are often over 100 years old.
You made a lot of good points William! It’s fascinating learning about the age of some college rivalries, it’s nice to know there’s genuine history there
That last clip was the infamous "Iron Bowl" game where Alabama tried to kick a field goal, fell short. However, it was caught by an Auborn player and he ran it in at the last moments of the game. It was a shocking win for sure.
The snow game was the traditional Army-Navy game, between the US Military Academy (Army) and the US Naval Academy. It doesn't matter if the teams are very good or not, the game is a fierce rivalry. All of the fans from the two schools show up in full uniform to sit in the stands, and the energy in the game is electric.
In the early part of the 20th century, both teams were excellent, some of the best college football in the country, and the rivalry then was intense.
I need to put an army v navy vid on my list!
The last run was the shocker of the year. There are videos ablout that. I'll send you one.
Thanks mate I’ll keep my eye out for your message
@@kabirconsiders I'll send it to you later tonight. Just left Houston on my way to Ohio. When I stop for fuel I'll send it.
One of the oldest football mini games to play to practicing catching a Hail Mary pass is called jackpot. We used to play it all the time back in the day. The game was to 1000 points. You won’t have a whole by himself call out a number and throw the ball high and deep. The group of people would then try their best to catch it or stop someone else from the catch
Also... since 2009, Alabama has been the Champion 6 times !! Love it !! ROLL TIDE 🐘🐘🏆
Can’t wait for football to start this yr! Big college football fan but looks like I’m gonna have to start watching pros again or at least one team ( Jaguars). Excited to see what Trevor Lawrence and Etienne are gonna do and wondering where Tim Tebow is gonna come into this. Wondering what Meyer is thinking!!!
Its definitely going to be an exciting NFL season!
You should look up the penn state white out vs Michigan.
I’ll check it out!
College football in a lot of states especially in the South is bigger than the NFL so the stadiums have to be huge to fit the fans. WAR EAGLE!!!!!!
Ahhh that makes sense. It’s crazy that your college stadiums are asking the biggest stadiums on Earth!
I live in the northeast and in my 19 years of life I’ve never met a diehard college fan. It’s so crazy how different it is across the country
@@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend Yea, when you have a NFL team you tend to cheer for them. For the South and a lot of other States you either didn’t have a team or your college team had better players than your NFL team.
Just depends on region tbh. The Midwest and south are the cradles of football fr. Like those environments in college in those 2 areas are crazy. Hell even pro environments in the Midwest are insane
@@ZachWilsonsMomsFriend I think it starts with good highschool FB and watching those players go on to college especially if they stay local in college. N. east highschool FB has very few D1 prospects.(NY avg 3 yr) Take a State like NC ( avg 100 yr) known for college basketball but still they ranked 10th in having the most D1 FB prospects. Then you have States like Fla, TX, Ca, GA, Mis, LA tons of freakish highschool prospects.(avg 175-350 yr)
That first stadium is in my home town and the population of the city nearly doubles on game day. Never goes under 100k attendance no matter who we are playing, or how bad we are.
That Ole Miss vs Alabama game when the fans stormed the field, the Ole Miss fans climbed up the field goal post, tore it down, and broke it, and proceeded to take it to their homes or dorm rooms. Now the field goal is reinforced to the ground
Love your vids man. You should react to the LSU 2019 season, arguably the greatest season of all time.
Thanks bro :) I’ll put it on my list!
@@kabirconsiders Awesome man, looking forward to it.
Jonny Manziel was a mega-bust in the NFL and i think he is playing in some weird football league somewhere. Also you should react to that texas a and m vs lsu game, this reminded me of that
I’ll put it on my list!
You should react to college football miracles you won’t believe some of the clips in there :)
I’ll put it on my list!
We don’t storm the field as a Alabama fan we just act like we have been there before when something great or a huge win happens
You guys are a classy bunch 😎
@@kabirconsiders 🤣. Not really
MORE food, college football and More NASCAR btw howdy Kabir considers are you ready for some Lone Star action at the Texas motor speedway
I’m ready, looking forward to it!
@@kabirconsiders Yeeee-HAW 🤠🤠🤠🏆⭐💸💰💵💸💵💸💵💸💵💸💵💸🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱⭐⭐⭐⭐
At 10:45 you have to react to that 2014 ohio state buckeyes team. It was the first year of the playoff and they went through 3 qbs bc of injuries and all the trials and tribulations (including the death of a teammate) they went through that year really cemented the playoff and its just a great story overall. I highly recommend looking into it at some point. There's definitely some pong videos just bc of how doubted they were. It was the last time a major upset really happened in the playoff and it was the first ever playoff in college football history. There's probably some long videos to get the full view on everything but that team was super talented and no one had them winning it. Everyone picked against them. I also recommend watching a video about the 2003 national championship Ohio State vs Miami. It's a great game that signed the end of one dynasty and the beginning of a new one with tremendous backstory with how uber talented the 2 teams were. With debatable flags and everything. Just 2 great stories with 2 great upsets.
I’ll put the 2014 Ohio state team in my list!
I think the college stadium ur talking about is the biggest stadium and thats for both college and pros. Heck there are several college stadiums that are bigger than most if not all pro stadiums for the amount of people they hold. What the pros spend their money on it the shine and comfort.
It’s amazing how big college stadiums are. 100k capacity stadiums are extremely rare here in Europe!
Johnny Manziel was signed to the browns, ended up partying too much and I think arrested a few times and was then released from the NFL. lol
can't believe Joe (the jet) Adams punt return against Tennessee wasn't in here somewhere
