so it is not my favorite game, but I can't disagree with1 it being number one.
Oddly, the FB picture accompanying the blurb for Number One shows Crots ( I think) kicking at the Glass Bowl. Can't believe there aren't shots of him making that walk-off against BG. Of course, George Kiem also hit a 38 harder, IIRC, for a walk-off against Villanova during the streak, but it wasn't BG so not as dramatic.
Grainy far away photo of said FG is attached, screen-capped from the Chuck Ealey documentary.

Proving that Doyt Perry was a dump even when it was new.

Appears as though the goal posts were made out of clear glass in this photo...

BG students had torn them down prematurely making any kick Crots attempted good by default. That IS kind of weird because at that angle they should be visible.

Definitely does look weird, but looking at the other film shown of that game, the post is there, it's just a smidge off frame on the right of that image.
