    When I saw the link I new it would probably be top 3, but I expected the Flutie Hail Mary against Miami to be No. 1, since it's so iconic.

    We happen to be on the list twice, but unfortunately, the other time was the Cap One Bowl against Iowa.

    I would have to vote for #4. Western Kentucky defeats Central Michigan with a long pass and 3 laterals.

    Really? What's he doing now? Just hanging out being retired?

    I think Favre's deserved more love than it got, just because of the distance they had to go. Obviously, the ball didn't travel in the air 90 yards in the air, but he was close to his own 10 yard line when he launched it. I think it ended up being an 80-something yard Hail Mary.

    I used to have a Saints jersey for him, named the Bluegrass Miracle Man.

    Wonder what he's doing these days.

    A coworker I had a couple of yrs back was friends with him. Don’t recall what he’s doing but she would visit with him.

    I wonder if he is still fast. Saints could use somebody to stretch the field and take some pressure off of Michael Thomas,

    That Iowa loss still burns my britches even though it didn't matter much. Man we used to care about the bowl games a lot more, or at least I did. Now if we lose some random bowl I am like who cares really.

    I hated losing those bowl games to Notre Dame.
