The scoreboard after BU beat UT in 1974.
Oops, sorry. I see this is the WBB board. I apologize.

If keeping it in the WBB realm, then this (shades of which reappeared last night with Vital's block):
This is my favorite BU sports photo for two reasons. First, it perfectly captured the power of LC's blocks. Second, I am in the background of the full original photo. I remember that moment well, and it was thrilling!

Whitetrash posted mine.
And, if someone can find it, Walter Abercrombie diving over the offensive and defensive lines into the end zone. I think there is one where he is diving over but doesn't have the ball and Jay Jeffrey (?) ran it around end for a touchdown. Entire defense focused on Abercrombie.

1980 Arkansas game. ABC was televising it, focused on Walter's leap and replayed it a couple of times before they realized Jay had kept it and walked in around left end.gold rewards said:

In the 1976 issue of Texas Football, there is a full page photo taken by Waco attorney Cullen Smith at the 1975 BU-TCU game. On a carry up the middle, BU RB Cleveland Franklin had cleared the line of scrimmage, but behind him you see the arm of a TCU DL with a hold of the waistband of Franklin's jockstrap, pulling it out of his pants and stretching it out about 18 inches behind him.
I might still have a copy somewhere in a box in the attic somewhere.

Whitetrash, I think it was Mike Ebo, not Franklin. But I could be wrong.
2005 Baylor Baseball dogpile at Baylor Ballpark after winning the Super Regional to advance to Omaha/College World Series. Josh Ford, Ryan LaMotta, et al.
Terrance Williams catching the pass from RG3 to beat Oklahoma in 2011. Have an autographed copy on the wall. WBB would be Odyssey and BG pic in Waco paper under headline "PERFECTION 40-0" when they won the Natty in 2012.

What a time that was.
Was there, and it was hot. It really surprised me that most CWS day games were even hotter.SSadler1 said:

Yep. Was fortunate to have box seats. BU fans in left field bleaches were toast--literally.

She wouldn't date me, just used my tickets. One day she got smart.

LOL you know she reads this board. When the way to a woman's heart is sports tickets you've found a good one.

I like the one of LaMotta in a state with the Arizona State coach who thought he was gonna make a mound visit while Ryan was pitching.

Ryan may be my all time, all-around Baylor BBaller. Would be tough to decide between him and David Murphy, with a Chris Durbin in the conversation as well.

Not Baylor or actually a photo,, but hard to forget if you ever saw the old ABC sports intro.
ABC's Wide World of Sports - that was a Saturday afternoon staple - before all the multiple sports outlets.EatMoreSalmon said:

The agony of defeat.
I had that photo of Ryan stepping toward Arizona Coach Murphy enlarged to an 8 x 10. That photo shows well that Ryan was only one step off the rubber toward Murphy while Murphy was still at field level headed toward the mound. I sent it to Ryan with a request he personalize it He did so with the caption, "Dr. Sadler, always hold the high ground!" One really sharp young man.SSadler1 said:Rice Super. Yes.

And a hundred victory screams like it.
That's the photo I also thought about I believe the caption was: "Strapped".whitetrash said:

Kim wearing a leopard print top is memorable too.
That's always been one of my favorites!!whitetrash said:

I found this gem from Lauren's freshman year:

My brother and I just after Baylor capped off its 21-point comeback against TCU. We were in the end zone seats, and the entire 4th quarter took place in front of us.
I was getting up to go to the car with 6 minutes left, and he said, "No, if the Bears come back I want to be here."
Reluctantly sat down and witnessed the greatest comeback I've ever seen. I get chills just typing this.
He passed away suddenly last April, so that makes this photo ever that much more special.
Two Baylor siblings, at what could arguably be called the Game of the Century.
I still miss the guy, but I'm glad we had so many good times at Baylor games.

Fortunately I had managed 3b line seats that were tolerable.
