A little something to see and think about....

Since tonight's the last night before tomorrow's 2nd Round playoff game, I decided to lighten things up a bit, at the same time emphisizing the fact that no game is over until it's over.

So tonight I decided to throw a lateral...seriously. Check out these lateral plays for your self:

1 - Of course everyone has seen the Cal - Stanford game of 1982, but who cares? Let's see it again....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNsqpIfzeAQ

2 - This next one is one that I came across the other day. Trinity and Millsaps Colleges from Division III football in 2007.....two angles: the first is the regular sidleine angle we see on tv, and the second one is from the endzone camera......

3 - Another more recent game ending series of plays comes from the 2007 Fiesta Bowl and Boise State. This link has the Boise St. Offensive Coordinator breaking down the 3 big plays. A search of YouTube can easily find you the plays in game speed....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWFbGw-jZvc&feature=related

4 - Doug Flutie's hail mary for Boston College against Miami....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3ykWbu2Gl0&feature=related

5 - Finally, quite possibly the biggest upset of all time, D-II Appalachian State defeating #5 Michigan to open the 2007 football season....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLE_bT_Zn7U&feature=related


So there you have them - 5 great game-ending plays that came to mind for me. Hopefully friday night's game won't come down to anything crazy like these!
