During the summer lull I tend to put up old football games on the TV to keep my attention as I work. What were your most entertaining 1 or 2 games of the season that I should go back and watch. I don't mean the game you won 43-7. I mean ones that were close toward the end.
If you happen to know of a link (youtube or other) that I can watch it. Post it.
USA @ SDSU (overtime)
USA @ Troy (came down to 4th down to run out clock)
USA vs Louisiana Lafayette (4th quarter decided game)
USA vs Idaho (big comeback win for USA)
USA vs App State (almost big comeback win for USA)
Sorry, 4 of the 5 are USA wins. When we won we won close; when we lost we lost big. Lol.
Not a conference game but we don't have alot to choose from. Southern Miss@TXST was pretty great/frustrating. I've probably watched it about 3 or 4 times at work on Youtube because 1. It's a great game, and 2. We were only 3k away from a sellout, nothing like a packed Bobcat Stadium.

Actually watched the first half of this yesterday. I'm watching the 2nd half / OT now. If your boy hadn't dropped that wide open pass in the 4th Q you probably would have won in regulation.
I believe the Camelia Bowl is worth watching again, lots of big plays from both sides with the good guys winning at the end (didn't mean to spoil it in case you hadn't heard... LOL!)

There was that awesome game against us when you turned a 2 touchdown lead into a 3 touchdown deficit in 5 minutes and 29 seconds of game time. That was one of my personal favorites of the season.

That game seemed similar to the end of the 1st quarter / start of 2nd quarter in the WKU vs Tenn game. Tennessee had 2 pick 6's in like 1 min and then scored another two touchdowns in the next 2 min of game clock.
Where are you watching older football games on? I'd like to re-watch the App vs ODU game (though it was a massacre) and I can't find it anywhere. Nor can I replay older games on ESPN. They had a small period where you could watch any old game, but took it away.
We had a lot of fun games last year. Ranked by entertainment value:
Great Fun --
1. @NMSU -- we blew a 3 TD lead and lost in OT on a lot of crazy stuff. NMSU sealed the win when their guy caught an interception with his ankles.
2. Wofford -- We jumped out to a lead, nearly blew it, and hung on to win 41-38.
3. @USA -- Another game that featured a 3-TD Idaho lead, a 2nd half collapse, and a near-comeback.
4. @Troy -- lots of mistakes by both teams but a hard fought contest and the best defense Idaho played all year. Idaho wins, 19-16.
5. Texas St. -- Close game throughout. Idaho scores with 1:02 left to win 38-31.
Not bad but forgettable:
6. @Auburn -- Surprisingly plucky Idaho squad puts up 34 points and stays on the outskirts of contention throughout but defense does them in.
7. Georgia Southern -- Very interesting and competitive first half but lack of defensive depth eventually kills Idaho and GaSo pulls away in the 2nd.
8. ULM -- Warhawks were just inept offensively that day. Idaho won by 2 TDs but it should have been more.
9. Ohio -- 1st quarter mistakes killed Idaho early but the last 3 quarters were interesting.
Dull Blowouts:
10. App St. -- They just manhandled us all day.
11. USC -- Talent gap too big.
Burn the Tape:
12. @StAte -- Final score (49-35) makes it look like it might be interesting, but this was a horribly-played game on both sides. Avoid like the plague.

If I made a similar list for TXST it'd be:
Fun:
1. USM - for reasons stated earlier, 50-56 shootout. Tyler Jones lighting up the stat sheet.
2. USA - Kick 6. That's all I remember.
Not fun but not bad:
3. PVAM - Put 60 on em but gave up 24. Their RB was incredible.
We won, yay:
4 ULM - Thursday game. Actually drove 1.5 hours to this one with two friends even though my school wouldn't let me take off the next day. Might have been 2 or 3 K people in the stands. I was telling my friends how awesome the USM game atmosphere was and boy were we disappointed. Damn Thursday matchups of 2 win teams....
We tried:
5 FSU - 1st half was close enough to feel good about the game, lets forget about the 2nd...
Many of these videos you can piece together on youtube or find if you dig DEEP. Many times I'll find a "1st half against X Team" or "Offense against x Team" and I'll watch those.
