I think "4th and 31" is what's going to stick, but I personally love "Disaster in the pasture". I'm going to say it in restaurants and bars.

I'll just say it was one heck of a pass AND catch. One name or another will stick, but for so many years, I've watched those kinds of passes miss the mark and be plain uncatchable. We would not have been in that position at all had we not made so many mistakes earlier and left 2 touchdowns off of the board. But it made for one unbelievable play.

I just watched the play again (for like the 100th time) and one thing that strikes me is how subdued our guys are after the play.

Maybe it was disbelief...or total relief?

What a play!

Here are some:

- Crapping on the Cow Patty
- Pain on the Plains
- Barn Beater
- Meltdown in Cow Town
- Pillage on the Plains
- Tombstone Corner. (My favorite, as a play on Toomer’s corner. As in, the tombstone in the corner of the endzone).

You can't really celebrate with just a three point lead and the other team still has the ball with 30 seconds on the clock.
Especially in that house of horrors.

I was still waiting for AU to answer with a miracle of their own when Autry's crew just flat no sold a maybe Safety on the next to last play to hurriedly give AU ONE MORE PLAY with 1 Sec on the clock.

Thankfully Arnold ended it next with a Pick before they could lateral the ball around.

You may be right, but part of me knew they were toast when they only got to the 10 or 15 on the kickoff with 26 seconds on the clock and no timeouts left I'll have to rewatch, but it didn't look like we went prevent. Probably because they only needed a field goal to tie.

Probably already suggested but in a comment to a barner friend on FB I used the expression:

"The Milroe Miracle"

"4th and Forever"

It does seem like 4th and 31 is closest to sticking right now, so I propose a pivot to 4th and Forever that not only describes the winning play but also invokes a feeling of, with that incredible play, we broke through their Lee County voodoo and can finally put all that noise behind us forever.

It was such a great throw and catch; I'd hate to name Milroe and not Bond and vice versa.

I don't see the need in trying to name it something that belittles AU or even references them directly at all honestly, and by the same token, I don't really see any reason to try to make it sound like or be a play on Kick-Six either.
