This is something I've been wanting to do for a little while now (it's almost the end of January, after all) and haven't had the time to put together, so I'm going to crowdsource it. I'm looking for the top ten Baylor athletic moments of 2011. If you think all ten should be from the football season, give me your ten best in any order and we'll go from there. If you have a great moment from last year's basketball season or the beginning to this year's, give me that, too. Anything that struck your fancy as a great Baylor moment, even if you don't think it should be in the top 10, can be "in the discussion."
I'm particularly interested in nominations from earlier in the calendar year from MBB and WBB since they may be a little further out of your minds. I think, but I don't know, that the list will be dominated by football. We should be able to come up with a few great moments from other sports, though.
If you can find a picture or a video of the particular play or moment you're nominating, post it. If it is a video, I'll make sure to update the original post to include as many as I can get access to.
Let's hear your nominations for the Top 10 Baylor Moments of 2011!

Great list.
I think the RG3 run against Kansas has to be considered among the football plays.
The miraculous Wright TD against OU off the helmet.
Ganaway breaking the single-game rushing record against Tech.

as I was during moment #1.

That ridiculous escape in the AlamoBowl,
by RG3 to score a TD, is on the list for me. By that point in the season, all I could do was shake my head for 3 or 4 minutes.

2011 Top Ten
Next to #1, or “8 SECONDS TO GLORY” or simply, “THE PLAY,” everything else is a very distant second.
Jones's kick against TCU has to be on the list.

Yeah.
I could hardly watch. I was ‘that’ fan – peeking through my hands.

Starting the game off with a long TD pass, when we beat UT.
Intercepting McCoy four times, when we beat UT.
