History can come in many forms. Sometimes it is told to you by an older relative as they recall important events of the past from their perspective. You can get history out of a book, from words that have been carefully researched and fact-checked. You can watch the History Channel and learn about planes and stuff.
On rare occasions, history happens right in front of your eyes.
For months the members of CougCenter have pined for a return of the Top Ten Moments. They started with complementing the author and politely suggesting their return:

After all this, I sensed it was time to unveil another moment. This moment is indeed historical, and there really is no sense in putting if off the discussion of its merits. It's best to admire it here and now.
This moment doesn't need much commentary from me, instead I'll leave that up to you guys in the comments. You can re-live that moment over and over again by clicking here.
What an incredible moment it is. One that will be talked about for years on CougCenter. The moments have returned! Cherish them now, for they are nearly as rare as a Coug of the Year post.
