Of the past 20 years, where does this win rank among great wins in the 3 major sports
number 1 1995 win over Florida State in football
number 2 1995 win over Kansas to make in to elite 8 in basketball
number 3 2011 win over UC Irvine with 2 outs and 2 strikes and nobody on. Absolutely incredible. Still hard to believe.

I don't think I could rank this win, yet. On its merits alone, pretty remarkable for Coleman team to be down to their last strike and keep battling and will their way to win. Depending on what happens in Omaha, this could go top of my list.

The reason this one is the greatest is that we were ranked #1, had tanked a year earlier against OU and seemed to be on the same path (one strike away), with Kline about to lose the second game of this series and having gotten shelled as the starter last year against OU in the final game. What redemption for the player not named Taylor. This game was also against a former NCAA champ, with a legendary coach. We barely held on, on Defense, against FSU back then, but this time we proactively, on Offense, won a game with about 15 pitches, at 90 mph, thrown at our hitters that all went our way. ><

I was chatting with someone about this last night. Arguably, this is #1 because & the drama & the fact that this was a postseason elimination game. I would also put the '95 FB game against F$U up there, along w/ the $$ shot to beat Puke in Hoops a few years ago.
My vote goes for this game because it sent us to the CWS & once again, this team made it all happen with two outs. I am pretty sure that last night shortened my life by a few years.

In my opinion...to do what those guys did last night was one of the if not the hardest thing to do in sports. 2 outs 2 strikes nobody on to clutch up like that is amazing. On percentages alone that should not ever happen and then to send them to the College World Series makes this the top win in school history and only gets that much more meaningful as they keep winning...GO HOOS!!!

I am older and must add Peach Bowl win over Purdue, our first bowl: 1976 ACC Tour championship over 3 highly ranked teams, and rarely mentioned FB win at Kan, finest display of off FB by the Moores' (@59-7).
I attended all of these, and they were super thrills.
Sorry guys-

Not sure yet. I'll say this though - I've never seen anything more dramatic than this game since FSU '95 or Great 8 '95 - and even though I'm a huge football and basketball fan - this win is right up there.
This may be even more riveting for the fan because people are starting to realize just how intense and stressful and suspenseful a baseball game can be. Games like this, you live and die on every pitch - at least I do. I too lost some years last night - but it was worth it!!!
