Everybody should watch this video of by far the best moment around the college football nation from this past Saturday. Warning: This video may cause the pollen in your room/office to build up.

Onions
Saw this yesterday
Thanks for posting. It's amazing to see the family just (spoiler alert) bolt across the field and start running.

Thanks for the embed. I tried
Thanks for the embed. I tried unsuccessfully for a while then forgot to edit the post and ask someone to help out.
Baseball players are smarter than football players. How often do you see a baseball team penalized for too many men on the field?
I already bawled once this
I already bawled once this morning over that pitcher for the A's. Now this. These were happier tears though.
Very touching
but seriously they set this up for them to meet at the end of the tunnel and right in front of the band to only give them 30 seconds to hug before the band starts marching around them?
Has the whole world gone CRAZY!?!
yeah, that was poor planning.
yeah, that was poor planning. I thought for sure the video was going to end with "Turn around" and he would be walking up to them.
Awesome, nonetheless.

Did someone let a cat out in here? I think it must be the ficus.
For all the terrible moments
For all the terrible moments we've had in college football this past year, this is certainly one of the game's finest moments.
It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk
Those
videos never get old, good stuff!
Go Blue!
What...what
What is this salty discharge?? This is horrible! I care...

Those who stay will be champions.
Great video, goosebumps

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this! That is simply amazing.
I just stubbed my toe so
I just stubbed my toe so severly I feel like crying.
every time...
these videos get me every time; there is so much suffering in the world and we all have our daily struggles, but when you see a family member come out of nowhere and just how happy it makes everyone I am overcome with happiness for how amazing human beings really are...
We are the dead.
God bless those who
God bless those who serve....their families pay a big price. What a great moment. Thanks for posting.
That was epic. Thanks for

Go Blue! Always!
points for everyone!

good AND bad there
Obvously, for the family, its an unbelievable experience.
For South Carolina... hmmm... my reaction is a little different. They were using the family as pawns for a moment for the fans, and then you get that handler at the end pushing them off the field, like, "OK we're done with you guys, get off the field."
To me, it's too easy -- USC (NTUSC) knows its going to be a blockbuster moment for the fans, so they use it for an easy fix, like instant happiness. Then they move on. Kind of makes me feel a little creepy, like, we'll use this family's emotions for our fix too, then can forget about them.
are you fucking kidding me?
I am always the cynic. But what is happening here is the USC is simply acquiescing their time in their stadium. This doesn't make me a Gamecock fan but I do appreciate them letting the soldier surprise his family there.
sometimes you have to move past finding something wrong in every beautiful picture: its a disease and it will eat you up from within. I know, I've been there.
As human beings we find what we are looking for and if you search for exploitation you may find it, even a cheapened version of it, but wouldn't you rather just focus on the good in this world?

We are the dead.
Agree completely. I don't
Agree completely. I don't think there's anything cynical about it. I think it's great South Carolina honors a military family every week. A disproportionately high number of folks from SC serve in the military and it's part of their culture. For the crowd, it's a damn good thing when anything happens that reminds people of the war and those deployed to it.
that was just the greatest
that was just the greatest moment in those kids lives. They'll remember it forever. The SC fans enjoying it are no different than us watching it today.
Damn onions!
Damn onions! I don't really care if it was a marketing ploy... that family will always have that to look back on as a positive moment for them. Props to SC for using their dead time that way.
No idea what you guys are talking about
I don't see any onions in my office...but there must be some pollen in here somewhere.
Great moment.
I thought it was funny how
I thought it was funny how the mom pulled on the daughter's shirt to try and get to the dad faster.

That "U!S!A!" chant never gets old. And, I thought it sounded good in Lake Placid in 1980.
Nobody home...
My reunion
happened in a tiny local airport this April but it sure felt like we had 50,000 people cheering. These videos seriously never get old! No onions here, I'm just crying.
two words...
Chicken Skin
I remember
When I was apart of the military appreciation day against Illinois a couple years ago. I got to stand on the 50 yard line under the banner when the guys ran out. Hearing over a 100,000 fans while on the feild was crazy.
Didn't think I would cry
But I was wrong. Wonderful video, very glad you shared it, as I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.
Also, I will agree that there is such a thing as emotional manipulation. But I am completely fine with what USC did here. There are both a ton of soldiers from SC, and a bunch of military stationed in SC, so this makes a lot of sense to me.

There are clearly onions in my living room. Yes. I blame the onions.
So hot. Milk was a bad choice.
