Michael Crabtree's legendary moment against Texas deserves a deep rewind
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 сер 2019
- It’s November 1st, 2008. We’re in Lubbock, Texas. The number one Texas Longhorns are trying to hold off the BCS’s number-seven Texas Tech Red Raiders. Clinging to a one-point lead with eight seconds left, if UT’s defense can make one last stand their title shot is nearly guaranteed. Tech, on the other hand, has the chance to not only upset a rival but throw themselves into the national championship conversation at the same time.
Both teams stand at 8-and-0. Obviously, one team won’t stay perfect. And there’s enough on the line that what comes next is guaranteed to overshadow how we got here. Where did this Tech team come from? How did Texas become the best in the nation? How we got here makes what comes next all the more special. So, let’s rewind.

RIP Mike Leach. None of this was possible without you.
I'm so happy to be the one hundredth like on this comment, from a lubbock native, 🎉
This hits hard now knowing Mike Leach has passed away.
RIP Mike.
man, whenever this channel says "welcome to a moment in history" i get goosebumps all the time.
For me it's when the music starts
Eddie Sanchez fax
Totally agree, even when you know what’s going to happen next
I GET THOSE GOOSEBUMPS EVERY TIME!!!!!!!
Always makes me think of "welcome to strike football" from The Replacements
You don't get easier interceptions than the one Gideon dropped. That one probably still haunts his dreams.
I was at the game. We all thought for sure that was it, game over. Still amazed he dropped it
No doubt
Palmer #13 (only.senior db on the squad) woulda caught the damn thing but Gideon called for it
There's a documentary on UT for this season and they mentioned that Gideon had received death threats after this game...
I believe it, link the documentary would love to watch it, was a great Texas squad
“You really think leach is going to play for a field goal” Hell no!
Kinley Freese OH HELL NAAAAAAA!!!
He'd already had one blocked. Screw that, I'd have taken my chance with Crabtree too.
I am a Texas tech student who grew up in Austin as a UT fan I cried and cried when we lost that game and now I have to embrace it as my schools greatest play........ it’s a complicated feeling
Haha same here. I’m lucky though I wasn’t a big football fan at the time. This was actually my first live game a friend dragged me up there. Whole reason I went to TTU.
Bro, I was a longhorn fan only because I played peewee football and my team was the longhorns. I dead-ass cried when UT lost, now I laugh at every UT fan when I bring this moment up.
You all are the most obnoxious fans in all of college football. Watching you all get knocked out of the national title was amazing
@@10tepeyac sounds like you’re mad
@@thesmoothtoad310 maybe it’s the obnoxious as hell fans who used to come to Tech but honestly it’s a Texan thing. People hate on California but i think the attitude of Texans is more dislikable
Here on December 13, 2022
Mike Leach has just passed away
Replaying this rewinder in memory of one of his finest hours...
RIP Mike Leach
“Crabtree.. pulls free”
What a classic.
I was there, 20 feet from Crabtree's catch. I'll never forget it, you can see me for about .1 seconds in the replay. I lost my hearing for a day, voice for two days. It was awesome.
Hey I was just about right next to you.
Rest in peace coach leach. Without a doubt, this was his finest hour
Wazzu beating Oregon on game day was pretty big as well if you know the history.
I remember watching this with my dad. We weren't from Texas, we didn't care about either team really, but it's still one of our favorite college football moments we've seen
That was exactly how my dad and I felt about Oklahoma vs Boise state.
@@kemosabeusmc that's awesome. It's a great way to keep a moment close
I watched this with my dad too. I wasn't even into college football (honestly still not into it). I didn't even realize the significance of the game.
Harley Peterson I grew up with tech and I’m transferring to tech in a year or two so I watched this live and will always remember this
I was thinking the same thing watching this. I dont remember watching much college ball with my dad but for whatever reason we both decided to watch this game...to this day one of the best football games I've seen at any level
Also, Hail Flutie deserves a deep rewind too. Just saying
Ckbruinfan
Hell, this last play, the drop kick, deserves a rewind - if not for anything, for Belichick smile at the end.
HE DID IT HE DID IT FLUTIE DID IT!!!!!!
the blues need a rewind
@John Nichols the st Louis blues. they went from dead last in the league in January, to winning the cup in June.
best game I've ever seen. RIP Mike Leach
McCoy looking like a future Browns draft pick? Huh.
He was the most amazing thing in Texas since KD
And now we have Sam Ehlinger! I say we even tho I actually go to TXST. TXST’s football team is garbage, so I think it’s okay I still consider myself apart of the UT fanbass😂
Broken King Jordan Shippley too 🤷🏿♂️
McCoy wasnt playing defense was he...what does that have to do with the play?
Sunday's game proved that he has a lot to be desired at just beating the Browns: ua-cam.com/video/ppOKWJ9WGcg/v-deo.html
If I remember correctly, Texas tech beat Texas, Texas beat Oklahoma, and Oklahoma beat Texas tech. All of which finished 13-1. It was a memorable season to say the least.
Actually they wiped their cleats with Oklahoma. BCS was so trash TX still should have played for the title.
Yeah, Oklahoma blew out Tech in I think their final regular season game of the year.
I mean they were outscored 25-14 in the second half and Colt only threw 1 TD, but 🤷
Texas didn’t wipe their cleats on OU, only winning by 10. OU beats Tech 65-21 and Texas and Mack cry as Texas loses the tie break to OU for the Big 12 South Title #Boomer
@@dylanlatimer5708 Yup. Though, no one in the Big 12 would have beat Florida. That team was something else.
This moment is framed in multiple places across campus
As it should be
That was a moment worth remembering for that school, but got screwed out of the BCS.
Brent Granger getting blown out by Oklahoma didn’t help either
I have one my self too
Good.
I wonder if Richard Sherman watched this game.
behind the fern if so then I don’t think he would’ve expected Earl Thomas as his Legion of Boom partner
What about Aqib Talib bet he watches this
@@shaunalbert7681 I wonder who Richard would've expected to be his partner in the pros, since he was literally 2.5 years away from entering the pros at the time of this game? Yeaaa...
Knowing Sherman, he definitely watched it from every angle possible.
Don’t you ever talk about me! When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree this ain’t the result your goner get
2008 Olympics Men's Freestyle 4 x 100m finals deserves a deep rewind! MAKE IT HAPPEN
YES
I was begging for this for a while, it won't happen cause the Olympics would immediately have it taken down.
WeArePharmers was that the one where Phelps beat the gold medal record?
@@shaunalbert7681 yeah, Jason Liezack had a last-length comeback to beat the French team by a few hundredths of a second
THE BEST
I keep forgetting that this guy is still in the NFL.
lol @ every dead Eagle fan who missed Super Bowl 52
Do Navy vs Notre Dame 2007! Navy breaks the 43 years losing streak to ND (longest ever) in 3OT
RIP Coach Leach
THE BALLS on that dude to not go out of bounds immediately in that situation. jesus christ. i'd have died watching this as a tech fan. he's either a tech legend or a life long dark spot by deciding to not go out of bounds there. i guess go big or go home.
coned Tech did still have a timeout, so if he got tackled inbounds they could’ve called it and kick the field goal.
@@violenceteacher6669 they should've just kicked a FG to start right? They were at the 28, 29. Thats easy, right?
@@billblaski9523 yea but the kicker they had was from a halftime promo remember, not the type of guy you want to put the game on
Lol "Go big or go home" Many coaches have lived or died by motto. Like going for it on 4th down or going for a 2 point conversion. If it's a success, the coach is the greatest coach ever, he get a raise and contract extension. But if it's a failure, the coach is the worst of all time, he gets fired at end of season
Best college football game of all time. Watched it live, never seen anything as exciting since.
Bullshit. Kick Six is still the greatest college football game ever played.
I think the USC and Texas title game was better as well. That definitely was one of the greatest games
what about that one game that was like 61-58 i forgot who was playing maybe cal?
Brandon Hodge Georgia-OU?
I remember that moment so clearly also.
Can’t believe it took this long to get this made. One of the most underrated college plays ever, no one ever talks about this
Joe Anthony as a horn’s fan I think about it regularly.
May the wind be forever at your back, Captain.
Holy poop, Will without a hat? You know he's serious because it's a UT rewind.
As a former long horn student for undergrad I will watch this video with a broken heart 💔
I remember this game like it was yesterday. I was happy for Tech. Damn 11 years have gone by so fast.
Fernando Gutierrez 11 years and terrible records to follow sucks that won’t happen anytime soon
Even before I watch the video all I hear is "Crabtree! Pulls free! Touchdown Red Raiders!"
Had to rewatch in honor of Mike Leach. LEGEND
Should do a rewinder on Steve Gleason's punt block in 2006.
You should do "the creation of SB nation deserves a deep rewind"
Agreed
"Jon Bois was born in Louisville, KY on the Year of our Lord 1982"
@@brokenking5044 and became the face of SB nation
While we're in the big XII, Nebraska-Missouri 97 would be a fun rewind.
"FINISH THE SCRIPT, WILL!"
As a UT student from Lubbock, I’ve been waiting for this video for a long time
@Daniel Kintigh If it makes you feel better, SB Nation made a video about OU when they played Boise State ;)
As a Texas fan, this game still hurts 😭
C L As a Tech fan and soon to be student (at a junior college to get scholarships) this was the best moment for tech football. Just be happy your team is on the rise again
BloodRedStain not anymore 😢
Fax
We don't have many wins against you, but we love when they happen.
@@wrestling1013 how does it fell to be here again??
Finally finally finally!! This is the one Rewinder I have wanted so bad. I’m a Sooners fan but this catch is Historic!
Do the Minneapolis Miracle. Complete the Vikings Saints saga!
I thin that they have already done it
Edit: think
Saints vs Rams
NFCC 2018
"Devil Refs See Nada"
Whata Bupkiss why didn’t you just edit the word think? instead of typing the word again in another spot lol
"Oh boy another Rewind video!"
*Looks at title*
Hello Darkness My Old Friend
Love it when a new episode hits. Keep em coming, great stuff
I remember this catch! One of my favorite moments ever
I literally turned the TV on and the catch happened. I was so excited like it was my team
omg this is one of my favorite games of all time. i remember going crazy when Crabtree scored and I couldn't believe he got drafted by my favorite team the niners. His NFL career wasn't as good as I thought it would be but in college he was my fav.
this was the first game I ever watched (I'm australian) been hooked on the game ever since!
He's not having a downfall he rushed for 1300 yards this passed season does that sound like a down year.....NO
Man, as a Texas fan sitting in the dorms freshman year watching this game, I was crushed when that completion came through. Props on you for powering through this piece, Will.
Top 2 greatest moments of my life and it’s not number 2. Guns up forever 👆🏽
Best sports moment of my life by far. Ran onto the field when there were actual zeros on the clock, unlike my fellow fans who couldn't read a scoreboard!
This one hurt!!! Watched it live with my fam. Was squatting in front of the tv on that play. I fell over, forward and hit my head on the floor, when Crabtree scored. I was in such shock, I didn't notice I was bleeding. I begrudgingly gave this vid a like because personal pain aside, they do a great job on this channel ... We Were So Close!!!
Can’t believe this took so long to do a rewind on! This play will forever live in my mind
My favorite season as a tech fan, that damn Oklahoma game :'(
Mile High Miracle deserves a deep rewind! But maybe I’m biased as a ravens fan
I was in 8th grade when this happened. Been a Tech fan my whole life. I always revert back to this play anytime a UT fan tries to start anything with me.
As a Horns fan as a kid this moment killed me... Crabtree was a monster at Tech and has been very solid in the pros
Whats crazy is im a fan of either of theses teams and actually kinda hate them both. However, ill never forget where i was when i saw this play happen live on TV.
Do Tracy porter Super Bowl pick six rewindee. So much led up to that game and moment
I would agree but being a Vikings fan I would rather forget it happened
Pichu 2869 as a colts fan. Pls no
They did the NFC Championship Game leading to it, which may be the closest that you'll get to that. Then again they did both Super Bowl 34 and the Music City Miracle so hey.
Legitimately the greatest regular season college game ive ever seen. Never seen anything like it. Could just feel the crowd atmosphere through my tv 2000 miles away. What a magical magical night. And im not even a fan of either of these teams
I remember watching this when I was just a freshman in high school. I wasn’t sure who to root for until I learned more of the importance behind the game through commercial breaks and the halftime analysis. Once I had the information, I decided to cheer for Tech and was screaming after they had won. 4 years later, I committed to Tech. Fell in love with Lubbock despite people always saying there’s nothing to do there. Part of me wonders if I hadn’t watched that game, would I have even considered Tech as a possible university choice? Despite that lingering question, I never regret my decision. GUNS UP 👆🏽
Crabtree such a sweet name, damn
Lobsterbush is a close 2nd.
Indeed
Desean Jackson punt return TD against the giants deserves a deep rewind.
SB Nation been killin it with the Rewinders this past week
I was in the stands for this game and rushed the field afterwards, this was an incredible moment.
You should do a rewinder on "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit"
IM THE BEST CORNER IN THE GAME, WHEN YOU TRY ME AGAINST A SORRY RECEIVER LIKE CRABTREE, THATS THE RESULT YOU GONNA GET!
I absolutely LOVED that moment! Sherman went to shake Crabtree's hand, and that poor loser actually slapped it away... I was jumping for joy, after that final play, and then I died of laughter after watching my 2nd favorite Seahawks CB make that amazing epic rant! I miss yah, Sherm'!
Go 'Hawks!!
I was just about to post that LOL!
DON’T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT ME!!!
@Terry Bogard okay?! Dah fahk does that have to do with this? smh
@Terry Bogard go away, pathetic troll, go away...
I’ll never forget this moment as long as I live.
I was in high school in Lubbock when this happened. It was crazy
the 2005 champions league final deserves a deep rewind
You have to do Jonny Wilkinson scoring the winning drop goal in the last second of the 2003 rugby world cup to get revenge on Australia in their own back yard to win England's first world cup
as a now texas tech student this game lives in my head rent free
My favorite memory ever at a tech football game (or any tech athletic event). It was absolutely incredible. Something none of us will ever forget.
Do a Rewind of Benny The Jet running from the dog
This is what made me a Tech fan in highschool and why I chose to go to LBK.
I remember this game so well. One of my favorite all time games.
The first football moment I have a real memory of watching. I was nine years old. Twenty one now time really flies
With College Football starting back up can we get an Ohio State vs. Michigan Beef History
Buckeyes gonna crush their Hope's again this year. O-H-
staticmetal2002 xbl I-O
United-Munchen, Champions League final of 99 could use a rewind
Now we're talking bro
Wasn’t this the cap to their treble season?
@@breez0- Yup, and what it makes it even better is that the season is their best to date, the final minutes can be classified as make it or break it moment.
Nice joke
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!!! LFG
I don’t watch college football. I watch the NFL and I try to learn about all teams and players. So to hear about this game, with so many players that went to the NFL. it’s makes a lot of future events even better.
I said it in 08 and I’ll say it now Percy Harvin was the best college WR at the time
Can you please do a rewinder on the 2014 world cup match between Germany and Brazil
I remember this. I was in my college apartment with my friend visiting from San Antonio. This was such a close game . Back and forth all the way to the end. A shootout
I was so happy when I watched this game, such a huge moment in the season
11:20 This is the kind of stuff that can haunt a defensive player for the rest of his life! You won't ever get an easier attempt at a interception than that!
465 touchdown performance at Texas? jeez
I love this show. Great stuff guys.
This is the first football game I remember watching. I was 10 or 11 at the time, mom is a Tech alum. I will never forget screaming and jumping up and down in the living room after Crabtree made that play
Sir Donald Bradman please.
Ed. I'm so glad you have sponsorship. I remember watching early vids on your channel and thinking you were operating at a level way above your exposure. Congratulations. Now make a Sir Donald Bradman video please.
Cricket is gay
Is there any chance that we're gonna see rewinder on Barcelona coming back from 0-4 to PSG?
Hope so but too many people complain about futbol vids
We could even see that one on Collapse
Freddy Samuels collapse is something that happens over years. Not one game, then again PSG could have a huge downfall for the next few tears after that loss... but i doubt it
@@mecube9148 Imagine if they did the Brazil GP that people occasionally ask for. All the salt from "Racing's not a sport" people would be incredible to witness.
Thank you Mike for bringing the Red Raiders back to prominence even if it was only for a period of time. I VIVIDLY remember this moment, and the fact that Texas losing this game is what made them put it all on the line against Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship which they BARELY won thanks to a dominant Suh for Nebraska running wild on the Longhorns and McCoy.
"He's got the big man, Crabtree, he pulls free!"
Can we get a deep rewind about Colt Brennan??
Are we going to do a deep rewind on the Okla. v. Texas Tech game that would come the week after this game?
@Nick Ryan Deserving of a deep rewind of who goes to the Big 12 Conference Championship, then likely to the BCS National Championship. It was a saga that I still admire a decade after the fact and cemented my love for CFB.
This is the first college football game I ever watched live. Safe to say I was hooked after this.
This makes me so happy. Thank you SB nation
Oh hell yeah
Tiger's 2005 Masters Chip or Christian Laettner next?
Please rewind the Florida-Tennessee 2017
Hail Mary.
Ballgame! And the gators have beat Tennessee AGAIN
We couldn't get into the stadium because the student section was full. We had to watch it in our dorms, but once he caught the ball we sprinted all the way to the stadium to celebrate. Such a great memory.
Love these videos. It’s like reliving it all over again. I’d Love to see a rewind of the Aaron Rodgers throw against the Cowboys in the 2016 divisional round that set them up for the W
A&M/LSU from last year.
Absolutely!
Do Kawhi Leonard’s game 7 buzzer beater vs the 76ers deserves a deep rewind
Take a listen to Joel Klatt's story about Mike Leach spending a whole practice just running Go Routes earlier and it adds even more to this moment. RIP.
First the Collapse (TM) of the 49ers, now this.
Thank you for Crabtree Week, SB Nation :)
