Re: Biggest plays in MSU history
It’s odd to see two blocked extra points on the list, but those both came in playoff games right at the end of regulation, so it’s hard to argue. The one in 1976 led to the national title.

Re: Biggest plays in MSU history
I was about 50 ft from it. I was seated in the south endzone at the old off campus stadium they used. Paul got the hand off did a short side step, waited for the block, and dove into the endzone.Cat Grad wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 4:57 pmSometime in the third quarter of the 68 game, the staples they used to keep Paul's dislocated shoulder somewhat in place began coming out...and that was the 58th carry by Paul in that one game. Even though the next tackle saved the lead as the clock ran out, I stiil maintain that one yard run as the best ever.AFCAT wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 3:17 pmI’m not old enough to remember Schafers play and I’m not sure if I’m a punk, but I can’t see how any play against the griz can beat Joe Roberts interception for greatest plays in Bobcat history. Roberts interception occurred when the Cats were, in all likelihood, going down to defeat. Joe’s improbable interception and return won the playoff game and put the Cats in the national championship.
Without having seen Schafers play, I will give you number two on the list though.

Re: Biggest plays in MSU history
Did you think they'd be able to come back in that game? Back then running the Houston Veer still, that kind of comeback was unheard of and I thought they were toast. Erickson and our Bain were unworldly. Wish I had video of some of the catches Bain made and Stiff did pretty good too.Helcat72 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 27, 2019 1:55 amI was about 50 ft from it.

Re: Biggest plays in MSU history
I too was in the end zone when Paul Shafer scored. Since (if not true) it seems most of the MSU fans - at least the students - were in that end zone, when Shafer scored, the place went nuts!! Whether or not that play was one of the biggest in MSU history or not, I think Shafer's effort that day has to top the list. He was one tough dude!! I doubt they'd even let a kid play today in the kind of shape he played much of the season. I'd like to be able to see that game again.Cat Grad wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 12:27 pmDid you think they'd be able to come back in that game?

Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

No, he would not have played today. I mean, come on, they stapled his freaken dislocated shoulder and the staples were coming out! Haas played a game where they had to tape one arm to his chest. But I don't mean to get off topic. Those two plays in that 68 game had to have been the best plays ever by Bobcat football player(s).catscat wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2019 8:31 amI too was in the end zone when Paul Shafer scored.

According to an interview with Dennis Erickson it was defensive back Terry Brown who just got enough of Baines at the ten yard line to take him out-of-bounds.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 16, 2019 6:52 amEvery time you post in this thread I think you’re going to reveal who tackled Ron Baines.

Thanks! I’ve been wondering who it was for at least 10 years. Does anyone have any other info about Brown? Hometown.

Without having seen Schafers play, I will give you number two on the list though.
Guess you had to have been there to understand how far behind they were and how gutty those guys were to understand.
MSU - 15 team National Champions (most recent 2021); 57 individual National Champions (most recent 2023).

Re: Biggest plays in MSU history
No additional information on the tackle, but I know who Ron Bain tackled. Me. City league softball. I was filling in at catcher — first time ever. He had rounded third and was barreling in. The throw from our short fielder was in time, on line, and too high. I went straight up to catch it. That's the last thing I remembered until I saw his future wife (a high school friend of mine) kneeling over me yelling, "Are you alive?" I had no good answer.
