I'd much rather have a tie than the OT system college has now.My first game, A Thursday night v. Stanford in 1990 (Stanford snatched defeat from the jaws of victory), got me pretty fired up to be a Buff.
I'm also partial to 1991 versus Nebraska. It was cold. So cold. There was no attempt to remove any snow in the stadium, so predictably it got stomped on, icy and dangerous (the stairs were more like a luge run). I was in the stadium early enough to see that "**** Nebraska" had been imprinted in the snow in the west bleachers in giant letters. A great game that ended in a tie when we blocked the field goal in the final seconds. Earlier, Biekert returned a block extra point for two, which ended up being a critical event to the outcome.
I suspect I'm in the minority, but I like the tie game, and miss that possible outcome. It kept things interesting.
I'd be good with calling it a tie if 2 rounds of the current OT system don't result in a winner.I'd much rather have a tie than the OT system college has now.
Was also at that game, wearing about 6 layers to keep from freezing. My buddy comes down the stairs with beers, which we pounded. Bought more beer. At some point, we headed to the bathroom. Lots of fun getting rid of the beer with all those clothes on.My first game, A Thursday night v.

The schooner tipped in Norman, not BoulderYeah, 62-36 will always be a special game, but so will the Buffs come from behind game in Stinkin Lincoln when EB fumbled 4 times but managed to gut out the win!
Honorable mention: When Oklahoma brought their Sooner schooner to Folsom and tipped it over.
When Lynn Dickey & Kansas State came to Folsom, Chip and there mascot got into a brawl in front of what few fans they had towards the end of the game. Chip kicked ass.
Standing there with a field pass hearing 100k+ people gasp in the Big House as Westbrook caught the Miracle in Michigan will never be topped for me.
I think Biekert is still running! Thought he would never make it into the end zone.My first game, A Thursday night v. Stanford in 1990 (Stanford snatched defeat from the jaws of victory), got me pretty fired up to be a Buff.

To this day, I still, get shivers.Miracle at Michigan
Amazing game and one of the greatest plays in college football history.

I think we went a got a beer when he started running, and were back in our seats as he crossed the goal line.That 91 game against Nebraska was special. It was one of those ties that felt like a win. I was standing in the front row of the horseshoe (between the O and the L) with friends. What I remember most was just how freaking slow Biekert looked as he returned that blocked extra point. By the time he made it to the far end zone I was tired of cheering.
Talk about a range of emotions. I was pissed off before that play. I was like, well, we gave this one away. Hard to top that day in the Big House.To this day, I still, get shivers.
An underlooked game which I personally attended was 2016 against ASU, when Boulder beat down Tempe for the first time ever. Otherwise known as the "Phillip Lindsay Game".
Those would be on the list for me as well, but like you mentioned they are on the second tier of favorite games I've witnessed in the flesh.Kind of second tier, but the WSU and Utah wins in ‘16 were pretty awesome.
Attended - http://www.cuatthegame.com/1991/oklahoma-state-a-fake-field-goal-saves-buffs/ IIRC, Okie lite was on probation and my friends and I got in for like $5. Small crowd, so we were on the front row at about the 25 yard line. The ranked Buffs struggled all game and I thought I was going to have a coronary on that last second field goal attempt when I couldn't see the ball elevating towards the goal posts. Talk about sheer joy at seeing that fake field goal pass to the tight end for a touchdown. The Okie state coach said on local tv that night, "Gutsiest call I've ever seen!"
Seen - 62-36 has to be it, just for the warm feelings it still gives me. Although the Miracle at Michigan is a very close second.
