Vital block, Butler dribbles up left wing, skip pass to Flagler on the right wing for the dagger 3 sealing the Natty....

I'll take solid over flashy any day.

Sure, 'flashy' will sell seats.

But 'solid' wins championships.

That 2021 National Title team had much more 'solid' than 'flashy,' which is always preferred in one's quest to raise a banner.

Maybe my favorite play of the whole year. He was way outside the three, it was the dagger that deflated all the Zags around us that were starting to talk smack.

I think that sequence is my favorite Baylor sports memory of all time.

Quite often solid is also "flashy": a great player making great plays will look stunning much of the time.

Some of the more memorable moments of the 2021 team fit the bill: Mark Vital, Davion Mitchell, Jared Butler, etc. I also r Ed member done big time dunks by Matthew Mayer in 2020 & 2021.

Was that one of the first two buckets of the second half? They were both dynamite.

Edit: I was thinking Butler when you clearly meant Flagler. You were talking about the fast break after the Mark Vital block.

That moment and RG3's Heisman moment versus OU are the greatest two.

Oh man, love watching that play. I wish the whole goal line stance was part of that loop. I couldn't watch live, had to watch the stupid updates on the ESPN app. I thought it was game over when they got to first and goal. I couldn't believe my eyes when it showed we won the game.

I loved Davion's reaction to the Flagler dagger.He was jumping up and down like an excited kid.

Yeah. If you watch the video with volume, you can hear Davion and the rest of the Baylor bench howling in anticipation before Flag even got the shot off. Knowing Flag was money and that was the knockout punch. I've probably watched that game 100 X and that sequence 500 X.

I know that I'm old, but without Grant Teaff and the Miracle on the Brazos, nothing post 74 would have happened.

You young guys have no clue how bad it was and how close Baylor was to dropping out of the SWC.

Who kept us there?

Grant Teaff and Abner McCall.

Without them, no RGIII, no Scott Drew, no McLane Stadium and no Foster Pavilion.

We can't personally thank Ab, but if you're around Waco and see Teaff, give him a thumbs up.

I'm not young, so I know you're right as there always needs to be a foundation to build on, but to make the jump from 74 all the way to RGIII leaves out a whole other era of darkness that we had to climb out of. ESPECIALLY in basketball which Teaff had very little to do with in the first place.

I would rename as follows:

1) Flagler Dagger
2) RGIII - ohnOUdidn't
3) McPlay
4) The '74 HornBlock

I think #3 was always called McPlay

It's gonna be tough to crack the Thunder's roster, but I hope he does next year.
