I gotta go with the 2002 Michigan game. We screwed up three different opportunites to play for a national champion because of losses to scUM. It was extremely gratifying to know we finally had a coach that could close out the deal.

This thread beats the hell out of that 'most agonizing' one!

Of course, without the lows, the highs wouldn't be so intensely satisfying.

wow it was a battle between the last three. 01 michigan just... felt so good, like, "in your face, AA" but the 02 scUM and the fiesta bowl were just as fun. in the end, it was a tie for me but the actual vote was the fiesta bowl, the most exciting game of sports to lay my eyes upon :P glorious

Tough choices all except for the 13 - 13 tie.

I voted for for the 02 - 03 Fiesta Bowl win because it seemed like no one believed we could do it, but God how I savor those two wins over Notre Dame, and the victory over Michigan that required a blocked punt with less than five minutes to go, and winning any Rose Bowl, especially the 69 Bowl. Thanks LJB.

I started to vote for the '74 Rose Bowl thrashing of USC, because that '73 team is still my favorite and I think maybe the best OSU team ever.

But in the end, because we proved so many people wrong, and because the Miami team was supposedly unbeatable, the '03 Fiesta Bowl is the most satisfying.

The '06 Rose Bowl victory over USC will replace it, though!!!

Having a CRS moment, but there's a victory over Michigan... at Michigan... in the mid to late fifties when the bucks could not go to the Rose Bowl because they'd been there the year before and Michigan was primed to travel west. Woody preached all week long that Michigan had already packed their bags in anticipation of the trip. Throughout the game the OSU players taunted the Michigan players, "Unpack, unpack, you ain't going anywhere!" OSU beat them something like 28 - 14. That final twist of the rope was missing from this years victory, how I wish Wisconsin could have pulled something off against Iowa.

95 or 96 Penn State

I can't remember the year but was the game where Rickey Dudley grabbed the ball over the middle to seal the deal against Penn State I believe it was 95. I really was pretty satisfied beating Penn State in their house with the Penn State fans going crazy. I voted for the National Championship 2002 due to was suppose to be a blow out for Miami.
