Has it been pointed out that Destin is wearing the same number as Jimmy Football when he crushed the Dooks souls at the goaline? Those boys snatched those 6's right out of the air and into history.

I have already begun playing the smoke and mirrors long-game against my fiancée to try to get that blown up on a wall in our media room.

Absolutely incredible

[Snowgoose]

That is a fantastic pic and pick.

I don’t get to many games each year but took my nine year for a Christmas present and it was just such a fantastic game and Atmosphere (even though not completely full). It is so much fun to play other really good teams.

Ahhh... The genius line.

[No_Skill]

This was the first game where I saw my son actually get invested in a game. He's gone to almost every home game since before he was born, so to him the games were just background noise. Yesterday was different.
He was standing and cheering especially at the end. He could sense the tension.

Just before the pick, he turns to me a asks if we are "allowed" to take the ball away from the other team. I sheepishly said yes but that's pretty hard to do, as I hoped the first game he really cared about wouldn't be a disappointment. He just matter of factly says, well we should do that then.

After the pick, we jumped, cheered, and hugged. Good times!

Outstanding

[KSBisonFan]

I am so happy for this team and specifically Talbert. We have been hard on him at times when he looked overmatched, but he stuck it out and made the play of the year. Mad props to Destin and the coaching staff for having confidence in him. Dude is now a legend.

[KSBisonFan]

Think back to all the INTs that sealed big wins for us or were huge turning points: Beck, Champion, Pike, Tanguay, Thorton, Deluca, Marcus, Grant Olson, Jimmy Football, Talbert and I know I'm missing some. Unbelievable clutch plays consistently by our defense.

[El_Chapo]

both Destin/Jimmy wore #6. hahaha

[spurman44]

I know Talbert is a defensive player but he just MOSSED the Duke!

I'll add....MJ Stumpf's pick 6 at Iowa (off the PGT hit on Beathard)

[bisonaudit]

In 1660s defense, we’re not a commercial enterprise and don’t need to concern ourselves with IP considerations.

[JCEE1990]

Not sure if anyone had this for a name, but how about a twist on this Destin-y talk and say it was the: DestinINT, or DestINT, or Dest-in-T

Just leave the Tenacious D part out. Then just the Pick of DESTINy shouldn't have any concerns. Really stands on its own without any reference needed to the movie.

Too confusing. Pick of Destiny is the winner. If there was a poll it would win on a landslide. But whatever they decide, it will be the pick of destiny

Welp if the name wasn't official before:

Another thing about The Pick of DESTINy that's cool is the JMU QB confirmed the crowd noise played a part in the play. Made it so his line couldn't hear the change in protection which lead to the the pressure up the middle. Awesome to know everyone making noise in the dome that night helped contribute to the situation that lead to that pick. Just goes to show that fan support can have a direct impact on the success of the program on the field.

[MankatoBison]

I was going to suggest Divine Interception (obviously deriving from divine intervention) but Damn "Pick of Destiny" is by far the best I've heard. All of the ones on the radio were laugh out loud awful except for "the pick".

That's definitely the best runner up I've heard though. It's just too awesome that Destin's name is one letter extra to destiny.

[NDSUbetcha]

No matter what, it will forever be known as the “Pick of DESTINy.” It was named that almost immediately after the play and rightfully so. What a play and hearing the roaring thunder from the crowd was absolutely awesome!! It’s almost impossible to try and explain the moment to someone that wasn’t there. It really was one of those “you had to be there” moments.

Definitely in the top 10 for big "you had to be there" plays that we've seen in the D1 era

I didn't properly appreciate it in the moment because I was 1. Dumbfounded and 2. Unclear from my angle if it would stand.

Pick of DESTINy
Fourth and Frisco against GSU
End Zone Stalker pump fake come back TD against SHSU
End of The Drive TD at K State
Walk off FG at Iowa
Frozen Rope TD against SDSU
Backpeddling Catch Does He Have It TD against UNI regular season
Heart of a Champion drive TD against ISUr Championship
Jimmy Football End Zone Pick against JMU Frisco
Fake FG at Montana as Div II transition

what did I miss? Is that the list of top ten or should something else be included and bump one of those out?

[GreenfieldBison]

Couldn't be there in person on Friday but that pick reminds me of another catch I actually did see in person back in '91 by a fella named Puckett.

The Montana one is probably still D2 technically. Should maybe have 1 more legit D1 moment and include that one as an honorable mention actually.

[OrygunBison]

Fairly high on my list is the Heagle interception right before half in 2011 against the Goofs where he kinda botches the lateral but Marcus Williams scoops it up in full stride anyway and runs up the sideline into the endzone. Given the stupid shit that the UofM was doing at the time, it was the perfect way to go into the intermission.

[WeAreThePride]

I didn't properly appreciate it in the moment because I was 1. Dumbfounded and 2. Unclear from my angle if it would stand.

Same for me. I was sitting (standing) up on the very opposite corner of the Dome from where it happened, and I didn't quite comprehend it at first. He jumped so damn high, and came down with it so smoothly I didn't understand what was happening.

Half a second later, I realized we would win, where moments before I was certain we would lose. That emotional flip was, in a word incredible.

I can only imagine what the sound was like on the field, or right on the sideline around midfield. Absolute THUNDER.

That dome was rocking. Best environment in years!

7. The Lateral McWill to Heagle vs Minnesota
8. End Zone Stalker pump fake come back TD against SHSU
9. Frozen Rope TD against SDSU
10. Backpeddling Catch Does He Have It TD against UNI regular season

Honorable Mention: Fake FG at Montana as Div II transition

Cofield's 4th and a yard at SDSU was damn good too.

this gopher is still #1 over the 2 fcs playoff interceptions. it was on espn for days and beat a Big Ten school , heck M Will's pick 6 to seal that game was an incredible return!!!
Travis Becks in 2011 title game was pretty sick too
M Will's 99 yard pick 6 is in top 5

Yeah, Becks pick in the natty sealed the win, knew we were going to win as he was rumbling down the field. What about Bruce’s kick return against UNI to start the 2nd half? Talk about a loud dome.

Listened to Talbert’s interview on 1660 Brake show today. Kid is solid and has just put his nose to ground and worked his ass off to be a solid player. He deserves to be in Bison lore for that interception and how he has improved his play over they years.

His interception reminded me of Tyrone Braxton’s in the ‘85 game against the Yotes—major elevation that only a rare, few players can get to. DT also reminds me of Braxton in that both were much maligned in early career, but stayed steady.

[1998braves64]

Walker to majeski with 4 secs remaining in the UC Davis comeback. Should be a YouTube out there somewhere as this game was televised.

Walker to Heckendorf 80 yard "are you kidding me" TD against Cal poly comeback game.

Most DBs would have probably just let that over throw go. When I saw the pass my first thought was over thrown ball incomplete. Then the sky hook got my attention.

As great a pick as it was, Javier Derritt's (#58) pressure on QB made it happen.
