SEC and Georgia fans, I apologize. As much as I thought Knowshon Moreno turned heads and made me hoot and holler, he did not have the most fascinating play of the weekend despite hurdling a defender in the middle of a run.
Instead, that award goes to a pair of students who were gracefully attending the UTEP/Texas matchup on Saturday night.
It seems like every year there is something you see on a national sporting event that has really nothing to do with what is going on in the field of play but rather in the stands that just seems like it is out of place.
We all remember the infamous "West F****** Virginia" shirts that have been made famous as well as multiple College Gameday signs that have found their way to TV screens across America.
It is my pleasure to trump all we have seen in the past however and look into something that fortunately I was not the only person to catch while watching Texas take on UTEP on Saturday night.
Coming out of a break, ESPN decided to show part of the scenic Sun Bowl Stadium where a mountain overlooks part of the field, allowing many a chance to see the game without purchasing a ticket.

With that in mind go with me now to the following...
Think back to college, perhaps you were there long ago or perhaps you're there currently; heck, maybe you never went and have nothing to link this thought to.
Think of being away from home and calling your mom and dad to tell them that you met a new girl on campus and will be bringing them to the football contest on that Saturday night.
Or, for fun, think of being the girl and telling your parents to watch the game this weekend because your new guy friend is going to bring you to it.
Whichever the case, with mom and dad, brother and sister, aunt and uncle, grandma and grandpa, high school teacher and next door neighbor (okay you get the point) watching, go out now and do what you know best...
That's right. Watch again, closely. Yes, they are making out and as Bob Davie points out, "They look like they're having a great time!" I couldn't have put it any better Bob, as much as I hated your play-calling, your analysis of that particular "play" was right on the money.
Just think, somewhere out there that young lady's father is very proud of his daughter. He gets to go hang out with his buddies some night this week and brag about his little daughter being on national TV this weekend.
My goodness, these are the future leaders of the world we live in? Hopefully they learn from their mistakes and remember a blanket next time.
(I knew I wasn't the only person who caught this when it happened, props to EDSBS, Deadspin, and SportsCrack for all having a crafty eye as well on Saturday night).

Wow. like moreno's hurdle play this probably won't show up on ESPN's top 10 list.
They don't wan't to give the kid's the publicity, it might make all three to popular.
