That shot from the end zone of Dublanko just all of sudden appearing , head and arms going above all they other bodies and snatching the ball is just an outstanding shot. Its one of the better sports action clips I've seen in a long long time.!

Watching on TV brought me to tears. Cincinnati fans are the best! My personal best in-person moment was the celebration on Fountain Square after the Reds won the series in 1975. Woke up the next morning without a voice.

It was one of the special Cincinnati moments like Reds' championships, UC Final Four, and Bengals' super bowls. I found myself after the game and most of Sunday without much of a voice. Awesome time!

As Fickell would say, “charge it to the winning budget.”

I’ve had the good fortune of witnessing some incredible sports moments, and I have to say Saturday night on the field after the game was only rivaled by Pete Rose’s 4192 hit in my opinion. The field full students and fans, playing “We are the Champions,” knowing we’d be in the top four…very cool scene.

I agree. My wife and I just stood in the stands and witnessed it all. The two flags waving in the sea of black clad fans was something. I have watched different clips of it over and over and am still in disbelief of being in the CFP. I remember sitting at Curry's last game and thinking that I could count the attendence on both hands. I was just cautioning everyone that things may change in a couple of years. Ridder had a great quote that went something like: I wasn't sure if the fans would storm the field and I didn't know if security would try to stop it. It just happened and it was great.

Something to remember, rushing the field is prohibited by the Big 12.

Incredible

Yes the whole experience was incredible my son and I had to get home so we did cut across the field as everyone was rushing at I believe we took some pictures and we're walking up the west side of the stadium as that song was ending. Still haven't got my voice back and my ears are ringing a little bit.

Fun take for Cincinnati fans to enjoy.

Highlights:

Cincy defense on the field for 40 minutes and didn't get tired.

Only 45 plays and 400 yards to score 35 points

0-8 Third downs - "You played 60 minutes and only had 8 third downs? Wow."

[Josh Rexhausen]

Thinking about the game, that one scoring drive of Houston in the second half required:
A replay overturning a fumble (I still don't understand why since he got hit on the second step.)
Two unsportsman like conduct penalties on Cincinnati
Houston's biggest play of the game, with blown tackles on Cincinnati's part
Generous official spots
A converted 4th down.

All that to get the only score of the half for Houston. 13 plays, 7:28 leaving 6:06 on the clock.

All Cincinnati did after the first three scores in the half was try to run clock. They dominated the half more than the 21-7 score showed.

So what is the over/under of past Bearcats attending the Cotton Bowl? Some of our greats helped build this program. I wonder if UC will reach out and try to plan some sort of alumni group outing. Just please do not invite BK.

Also, where will the best block watch party be in Cincinnati?
