College football fandom is a strange phenomenon. The vast majority of fans know going into any given season that their favorite team has no chance of competing for a title. Heck, it’s rare for most teams to have any real chance at making a conference championship, much less a college football playoff appearance.
So the little things become big things. Recruiting victories become as significant as on-field victories. And round and round the cycle goes.
And then a moment like this happens. They’re incredibly rare, which makes them that much more meaningful.
You know the moment.
