ESPN did a pretty good video on the Flutie Hail Mary piece:

and in a related story, Rich Gunnell has been suspended for an unspecified violation of team rules.
I first saw the whole Miami game on Classic Sports in 96 or so - it was before they edited the games down. And even knowing how it ended, I still found myself up and cheering when Phelan caught that ball. What a game
BRING BACK THE ALL GOLD HELMETS!!! Always thought that it was a mistake to change those hats and every time I see Doug's pass to Phelan on that huge day for BC--the day that really propelled BC past every college football team in the post modern era because of that eternally remembered moment--I see those wonderful gold helmets and think: Why the hell did we leave that tradition behind? (It better not have been because Notre Dame had something to do with it.) Bring back those gold helmets--and lose the maroon stripe. It's time.
