Your favorite memory of the season.

Sure, it's defending our Camellia Bowl championship, but there are several smaller moments that can come to mind, as well.

Mine is successfully running Georgia Southern's offense against Georgia Southern.

The GSU beatdown was awesome and well-deserved but my favorite was when we found out that the other ASU had lost to LLU and that we still had a shot at our first FBS conference championship.

1. Witnessing Cox's record breaking run (a TD no less).

2. Lamb, Cox, and that defense in the fourth quarter last Saturday.

3. Watching Ark St. lose to ULL (gave us a SBC title).

1. Bowl win #2 in as many years in the wildest section of App fans I've sat in in years.

2. Running Georgia Southern out of Paulson Stadium.

3. The insane Tennessee game and crazy atmosphere at Angry Ales. Broken glass, beer-soaked phones and all.

I loved the whole season, Bowl Trophy, Sun Belt Trophy are at the top. One I will remember is sitting in KBS just before the Miami game and seeing the huge crowd and the flag coming in via parachute. The game didn't go the way we wanted but it was a preview of what's possible and what's to come. As our AD said in the bowl preview show, "Dream Big".

Special teams performance against Toledo. Especially if you look back to how the season started and compare it to how it ended.

Minus the Miami game, this entire year was fantastic. Even in 2 of the 3 loses the Apps played exceptional football.

You know what, that's two votes for this. The end result sucked but that was a man sized hit.

Game-winning TDs in overtime by the other team aren't really my favorite memories, but maybe that's just me.

Maybe not the end result but that may just be the best fundamental football play of the season. That was a textbook tackle by KG6 right at the goal line resulting in a fumble. Defenders dream of this goal line scenario. A friendly bounce App's way makes this one of the top plays of the 2016 college football season, damn Neer ESPY worthy.

Gilchrist stole Dobbs' soul on that hit. Josh might spend the rest of his life looking for it!

Thing is, you're no allowed to advance a fumble. That play should have been down where the ball came out if UT recovers it, which they did. It was, by rule, not a touchdown.

You can advance a fumble unless it is fourth down. On fourth down, the player than fumbled can recover an advanced fumble but a teammate recovery does not advance the ball.

Tennessee game tailgate...because of unforeseen circumstances, I went solo to the game at last minute. Took nothing except clothes due to issue...no cooler...no beer. In hotel bar, I asked bartender for a magic marker and a piece of cardboard to make a sign. It read..."Volunteer a beer??!!" And I frowned at every tailgate I walked by looking like a poor ol mountain man missing his jug. Got about 100k laughs and high fives and 18 beers. Ran into some friends and then we got invited to a private catered tailgate with...drumroll...PBR on tap!!! Sing praise!!! A tv station saw my sign and interviewed me. They asked me my name and I just looked at them as if they weren't too smart..."I'm beer hat guy!" Like they couldn't tell by the hat....fun time!

Being in the middle of a crowd that goes absolutely crazy when Toledo misses the game tying field goal...high fiving and chest bumping people that were complete strangers yet felt like they were family. Awesome, awesome, awesome.
