There's probably not a video for all of them, but post one if you can find it.

I'll start it off.

GT vs Clemson '04. Clemson fumbles the punt. GT gets the ball on the 10 yard line. Reggie throws a classic fade touchdown to CJ with 11 seconds left on the clock to put Tech on top 27-24.

That play was incredible, but they got the terminology wrong. That is not "The Catch." This is The Catch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXRqyjzyBRg
 
Way too many to mention but a few are,

1. Nate Stimson forcing an intentional grounding vs UVA and their kicker, Braverman barely misses a 54 yd field goal. We won 41-38!! I think it was 1998.

2. The other Catch by Calvin up at NC State, when he stops on a dime and reaches back to haul in a pass for a first down. Amazing!

3. Brad Chambers ending the streak vs Uga (in Athens) by kicking the game winner in 1998. I spilled my last Beam and Coke when the whole Tech section exploded!
 
My favorite play is Gary Lee's kickoff return against UGA in 1985.

My second favorite is what I would consider "The Catch". That is Kerry Watkins one-handed grab against Clemson to win the game.
 
Someone needs to upload the Gary Lee play to Youtube. Surely somebody has got that on tape! (Wish I did.)

BTW, what about the Dez White catch in the '98 UVA game where he caught a pass over the middle, crossed the field, and outran everyone to the endzone. I always thought that one was underrated. That '98 game is still one of my favorites ever...
 
Daryl Smith's interception returned for a TD in the cess pool was a thang of everlasting beauty!

That is mine as well. Season tickets back then were in the upper west. I can remember him running through the fog like it was yesterday. The goal post ended up in Dr Petits (Spelling?) yard, and the entire campus was rolled. What a GREAT NIGHT!! That kick return by Gary Lee was my most memorable play. Nothing comes close.

My friends and I had a visit from the APD for noise complaints. I felt soar after that celebration.
 
As a boy, William Bell's run against Nebraska. At that moment I knew.

While at Tech, it was Jasper "Thanks" Sanks for fumbling at the goal line.

Post-grad, it would be Calvin's catch agianst Clemons.
 
Kerry Watkin's one-hander catch in the endzone against Clemson, 2000. I was in a Clemson section for that game, and I could stop saying "Holy S**T!" over and over for about 15 seconds.

Incredible feeling.
 
Gary Lee, no doubt about it. Although the last sack of whoever the South Carolina QB was at Grant Field. 15 yd penalty, but the celebration was worth it. I remember he was in consideration for the Heisman, but we kicked him out of the running.
