The lasting impact of Stanford football’s 34-20 win at Army came from a moment not on the playing field, but on the Stanford sideline. Senior safety John Flacco earned everlasting love and admiration from the West Point cadets by joining the cadets on their “Rocket” cheer. Immediately, the crowd fell for Flacco, cheering wildly through the end of the game, chanting for him and even passing around a whiteboard that read, “Add John Flacco on Facebook.”

Over the next few days, Flacco received more than 1,000 Facebook friend requests from West Point cadets and saw himself become an internet sensation at the academy. Wall posts, videos and memes were dedicated to Flacco in mind-boggling numbers. Below are some of The Daily’s favorite Memes taken from “The Long Gray Memes” Facebook page:
