[Wiki to the rescue!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_GMAC_Bowl) > [@](#): > > The 2001 GMAC Bowl, a college football bowl game held on December 19 at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama, pitted the Marshall Thundering Herd, then of the Mid-American Conference, against the East Carolina Pirates from Conference USA. This game featured what was then the biggest comeback in NCAA Division I-A (now Division I FBS) bowl history, as Marshall came back from a 38-8 halftime deficit to force overtime and eventually win 64-61 in double overtime. It was also the highest-scoring bowl game in history, breaking the previous record set when Texas Tech defeated Air Force 55-41 in the 1995 Copper Bowl.[1] ---

If this game ends up tied, we could be looking at 200 total points. ---

OK guys, hope you enjoyed. I didn’t steer you wrong. BTW, I have no affiliation with either Baylor or Washington. I just like to watch an exciting game. ---

My history with Baylor football began standing next to Bill Beall on the sidelines as a wide eyed kid. Was I watching this’n? Heh, 40 tough but finally rewarding years later, that would be a Yes. Not perfect, at times testing but in the end imminently enjoyable. The Baylor family has had a lot of reasons to reunite this year. I’d wish that on anyone that enjoys the game. BU in a thriller. Yeah, baby. ---

Wow, elitism from a guy twice in a three sentence post for bashing video game players because THEY ARE NOT WATCHING TV. Was there some reason that was necesary? You couldn’t just say “hey, turn on your tv, something awesome is happening?” I’m sure watching TV is the best you can do connect to reality and that just makes you so much better than everyone else here. ---

> [@R.P.McMurphy](#): > > OK guys, hope you enjoyed. I didn’t steer you wrong. > > BTW, I have no affiliation with either Baylor or Washington. I just like to watch an exciting game. Hey, I’m glad you gave us a heads-up. Thanks! I don’t have any affiliation with the teams involved either (or, for that matter, with the NCAA), but I’ve never seen a game quite like that one. I was kind of hoping they’d break the single-game combined scoring record, but they ended up two points shy. Still, we did see a couple of records fall and each team was giving it their all right up to the end, so it was some exciting football. Again, thanks for the heads-up!
