Sounds silly, but it was quite an emotional moment for her. It was like watching a great crescendo point of a Hollywood movie play out live. That's how she described it to me last night.

When Tanner Mangum Returned

jvr7

That is the definition of "it"

Still Open

10/12/15 7:54am

He showed real grit!!!

ByuMba90

10/12/15 7:56am

Not quite Riley grit, but a (distant) second

meowmeow

Grit combined with talent. Potent combination

hansel

10/12/15 8:21am

I'd say showmanship combined with grit. I'm sure there is a word for that.

The Old Y

10/12/15 8:34am

Gritmanship?

NomadCoug

10/12/15 8:48am

gritsmanship?

lightmann

10/12/15 10:48am

ponderiz...oh wait, that made-up word is taken.

socorny

you can't spell grit without "it"

A famous tiger would say, "It's Grrrrit!"

Crowgar

Grit is actually seriously valuable when combined with talent. He did show grit.

grosven

I thought the game was over and we would lose, than he came out and

ybyuy

10/12/15 7:57am

Yep, when ECU tied it I thought it was over. Then Mangum.

Freddie Cougar

*than Mangum

StantonMac

10/12/15 8:12am

Are you saying "then" should be "than?" That's wrong.

dawgbite

10/12/15 7:08pm

the joke sort of loses something if you have to explain it

StantonMac

10/12/15 8:02pm

Tanner Mangum is Brett Favre's shoulder Angel.

CougarinOZ

10/12/15 8:37am

Tanner and Anae are getting into a good rythm

mcnasty

10/12/15 10:24am

Yep! When he came back into the game, there wasn't a doubt in my mind...

cougar_chick1

10/12/15 8:02am

Ditto. Changed everything.

mobomanjoe

10/12/15 8:08am

I had no doubt we'd regain the lead...

I was sooooo happy Tanner came in, but felt bad for Beau

AFcoug7

10/12/15 9:14am

Beau did not give of 17 unanswered points on defense.

IBe_WhyYou

10/12/15 9:31am

^This. The D should be able to hold a 17 point lead for at least 1 Quarter.

CougarinOZ

10/12/15 9:43am

Very good point. Defense was reeling without 3 DB's

Coug Dude

10/12/15 12:02pm

"Hot knife through butter" defense is the only way to describe what happened.

IBe_WhyYou

10/12/15 2:46pm

That's exactly what my wife and I were saying after that first pass.

cougfrvr

10/12/15 9:35am

He'll probably stew over it for a while, but I think it was a great experience

jvr7

10/12/15 9:36am

I felt bad for Beau because he didn't get much help.

SpiffCoug

10/12/15 9:52am

rewatched the game. He threw it 5 times.

Mr Bassman

10/12/15 10:21am

Brown has had some costly drops this year

spugeddy24

10/12/15 10:46am

Taysom came up to Beau and put his arm around him when the crowd cheered for Tan

RealityCheck

10/12/15 10:57am

That was a great moment to demonstrate what kind of leader Tanner has become

LV Mike

BYU's Kirk Gibson moment

SEABYU1

10/12/15 9:36am

World Series, bottom 9, 2-outs, 3-2 pitch against BEST closer in baseball.

Colorado

10/12/15 10:14am

I'm glad I got to be there for it

SurreyDad

10/12/15 3:50pm

Fine. It was a Walt Frazier moment, then.

SpiffCoug

10/12/15 3:53pm

What makes him great is that he has the talent to match "it."

Downtown

10/12/15 9:37am

Like Max in 2009. As he ran into the locker room for halftime vs OU...

pt crasher

10/12/15 10:35am

You should have heard how loudly the stadium cheered when they saw him coming on

Jamesiator

10/12/15 9:53am

One of the few times the fans actually stood up and cheered... and we all know

cougar_chick1

10/12/15 9:57am

I'd say the home crowd did a pretty good job for most of the game

Jamesiator

10/12/15 10:23am

The crowd (ROC especially) is getting better but we still have work to do.

cougar_chick1

10/12/15 10:45am

Boy, the cameramen must have been choosing the wrong people to show all night

tony

10/12/15 10:16pm

I know, right?

Jamesiator

10/13/15 11:54pm

^ Yes this, the place went nuts. It was like the Grinches heart growing in size.

Celeritas

10/12/15 10:25am

It sounded like BYU had just walked into the end zone.

Belboz

10/12/15 12:16pm

It reminded me to a small degree of Max Hall declaring we will win vs Oklahoma

cougarmikey

10/12/15 1:20pm

Tanner eats grit for breakfast.

greatbam

10/12/15 6:55pm

As soon as I saw that the QB was #12, I KNEW the game was over.

Dissenter

10/12/15 8:24pm

Loved that you could feel it in the stadium!!!
