I was at the Orange Bowl when my akma mater ‘Canes took “Wide Right II” I thought the freaking stadium was going to collapse.

It was by far the best game I ever saw…or maybe Dean Hausler’s pre-game kegs on the slab back at UM had something to do with that, I dunno.

Not nearly as bad as the 31 to three Choke at Doak.

Thank God. From what I know of Texas high school football, the townspeople might have hung the John Tyler team had they not pulled it off.

Was this game the inspiration for the movie “Friday Night Lights”?

I don’t care who y’ar, that’s a good movie right there!

When they score the go-ahead touchdown with 31 seconds left, you think “huh…almost too much time left”.

Heh.

I never saw it coming until the video breaks to Plano lining up for the kickoff. Then you go…”oh, no; you’ve got to be kidding”.

All I thought was “OH NO” as soon as the KO returner hit the outside behind “the wall.”

Absolutely. The life lesson here: Don’t ever quit (and neither team did).

Not that I particularly like the Eagles :-), but they’re not doing that bad… 6-6, and have a pretty good shot at getting into the playoffs. Plus Garcia looked pretty good last Saturday (in fact I may start him in my fantasy league playoffs), and above all, you don’t have to put up w/T.O. anymore :-)

At least you’re not the Eagles. (sigh)

The whole way through I was thinking “See, the Steelers still CAN make the playoffs… I knew they could…”

Then I saw the last play. Guess there’s always next year for the Stillers. Sigh.

University of Colorado at Michigan back in 1994

With 6 seconds left in the game CU QB Kordell Stewart throws a 70 yard ‘Hail Mary’ into the endzone that gets tipped up into the air by Colorado WR Blake Anderson and gathered in by Michael Westbrook for TD and a miracle 27 – 26 victory over the Wolverines.

VIDEO – (ABC Sports, great call by Keith Jackson)

This one never gets old!

I was watching this game LIVE in our entertainment room. When Westbrook made the catch I jumped up and yelled “TOUCHDOWN!” and our cat ‘Rocky’ went running out of the room so fast he was a blur.

In the words of Larry the Cable Guy – that there is funny!

Hate to be a stickler, but it’s actually – “That’s funny right there” and usually followed or preceded by “I don’t care who y’ar”.
