    Bob Dunning's latest column makes a case for giving Saturday's stunning, comeback win over Idaho State a memorable name similar to something akin to the Miracle Game. He argues, and I agree, that the Miracle Game is safe and won't be succeeded by the ISU victory.

    However, he does note that far many more fans saw this game and it could become the "Miracle Game" that current students and fans remember since they only know about the Miracle Game because it is shown to all incoming Freshmen. He also lists some other great Aggie wins but contends that this game may be second only to the Miracle Game in terms of significance to the current students and younger generation fans.

    Saturday’s miracle win needs a lasting moniker

    After our beloved Aggies roared back from a 16-point deficit in the second half to stun Idaho State in overtime last Saturday night, I’ve heard from a number of people who claimed “this must be the greatest Aggie win ever.”

    Others were a bit more restrained despite the incredible euphoria of the moment, noting that there is something known as the Miracle Game that other contests must compete with when seeking to gain “all-time” status.

    Still others — in recognition of the fact I started watching Aggie football before 98 percent of the fans in the stands last Saturday night had even been born — have sought my wisdom as to where this game might rank in Aggie lore.

    So here's your chance to make some suggestions naming this great victory. Post up...I'm sure Bob probably checks our forum out occasionally or add your choice to the comments section at the bottom of the Enterprise article:

    I guess "Wide Right" is already taken by Florida State...

    Gambler's Delight (in recognition of Hawk rolling the dice on 4th and goal in OT)

    Two for the Money (in honor of the 2 point conversion to tie the game)

    Never Say Die (but we might get sued by the movie moguls)

    Believe in Miracles (probably not distinctive enough from The Miracle Game)

    My buddy Kriss Smith suggested Hawktoberfest!

    I like the ‘Big Huevos’ game to honor the 4th down call in OT. Off-color version of the Egg Bowl

    The guys practiced for that OT win and worked super hard. It wasnt a miracle but the result of their tenacity and work ethic. I’d like the name to reflect that effort.

    @DrMike, it was Brewfest, we have the Hawk, and it was fairly miraculous. I like the Hawktobertest miracle.

    It's Hawktoberfest FTW, Question is do we modify it (with "surprise" "miracle" "comeback")?

    I like the Hawktober and Hawktoberfest as starters. I think we should leave "miracle" out of the name because the Miracle Game was genuinely miraculous and nothing can really top that when it comes to miracles.

    Here are a couple of ideas for additions to Hawktober and Hawktoberfest:

    Hawktober Surprise
    Hawktober Comebacker

    Hawktoberfest Surprise
    Hawktoberfest at It's Best

    Well after the first 45 minutes of the game, I was genuinely surprised at the result. I think ISU was as well.

    This is why The Miracle Game can never be topped:

    UC DAVIS 1971 Miracle Football Game @ Cal State Hayward, Jim Swan did Voiceover for Announcer

    This was an authentic recreation of the missing audio track using documented play by play data and game timing, and reels from the silent films archives of UC Davis football sports program.

    lol- Hawktoberfest is a great name.

    It was an amazing game to be at and also a fun time down on field after the game with my 5 year old son.
