I'm all in on Mangum's awesomeness but it's not even close. Kirk Gibson's moment is one of best, if not the best, all time in the history of sport.

When Tanner Mangum Returned

That is the definition of "it"

Still Open

10/12/15 7:54am

He showed real grit!!!

ByuMba90

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...

My wife said she almost burst out into tears when he returned.

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

BYU's Kirk Gibson moment

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!!!
