OT: Greatest Hail Mary's

[fireford]

In the spirit of opening weekend of CFB, thought I'd take a stab at something potentially fun. Post your favorite video of a Hail Mary that you believe belongs in the conversation of one of the greatest (any level from Pop Warner to NFL).

I'll kick it off with this one. The "Miracle at Michigan". 1994, Colorado at Michigan. Both programs were relevant that year so a lot was at stake including conference bragging rights. Stewart drops back to around his own 30 and heaves it and his guy comes up with it to steal a huge win on the road for the Buffs.

I know it's Boston College University but...65 yards in the air.

It took only two replies and 41 minutes for there to be a duplicate. So this Hail Mary is dedicated to those who put no effort into devoting the half minute it would've taken to read the thread.

I think Kordell and Flutie are #1 and #2, but posting this as BYU had to come back from 20 points down, and block a punt to even get the opportunity to make an end zone heave.

Wild comeback. I liked when the Cougar mascot ran into the end zone to make sure he had it and signaled TD as if he had a say in the call.

This is usually cited as the original Hail Mary that started it all so it probably belongs in the conversation for that reason if if there were more spectacular ones. Staubach said (paraphrasing) that he prayed and just threw the ball as hard as he could. Plus it was a playoff game so stakes were even higher.

Because this is a Uconn board and I'm the OP I can take the liberty off adding this one even though it was a different sport.

I am a classic post first/maybe read later kinda guy.

Since this discussion has already gone a little sideways we might as well include the ladies as well.
