I'm not sure I'd want to waste all that bandwidth, but the two Jordan Taylor video clips 2/3rds down into this story are amazing. Both would make amazing gifs. The touchdown reminds me of James Casey's TD in the bowl win against Western Michigan (except he stole the ball away from Jarrett Dillard, not an opponent).

RE: How do you create an animated gif in your signature?
There are two questions here.

How to make an animated gif from video:
1) Get the link to the video.
2) Go to a free converter like imgflip.com
3) Follow instructions for that site.

How to insert it into your signature:
1) Find a host site to upload the GIF to (some of the converter sites will also host).
2) Get the direct link of the GIF itself. This should start with http:// and end with .gif. Any other link is unlikely to be the direct link.
3) Go to the Edit Sig option on your user CP and post it into your sig as you would post any image.

You can skip the first part of this in this case and the first step of the second part, because those files aren't videos. They've already been converted to animated gifs, and given that they're on BR, they're already hosted somewhere. Here are the links:

The interesting thing about the second is that once he caught it, he HAD to get into the end zone. If he's tackled in the field of play, there's probably not time to get the field goal unit in before the half, and it's 4th down so we can't spike it. The safe play would be to bat the ball down and preserve the FG. But he made an instinctive gamble, and it worked. That's what great players do.

I'd want to see a couple other plays
1) Covington blowing up the Aggies' all american o-lineman Matthews
2) Ross steamrolling Aggies (actually probably would be 4 or 5 videos!)
