Meh. It's no Trinity vs. Millsaps.

Subby sounds like his school got beaten 30 - 0 in a game that included a hilarious BS stunt play.

/that should have been a pick 6, not a TD

 
Dead for Tax Reasons [TotalFark] 2009-11-23 01:50:42 PM  
that was just begging to be picked off

Why the hell does Sterling College even have a football team?

Seems like a shovel pass would have been less risky?

Looked pretty good to me. Nobody was expecting it.

I mean two far from division 1 teams, so who cares, but it was a good play.

Seemed intended, and like people actually knew it was going to happen. I will mark that a trick play and someone how fit into my next game of flag football.

In jr. high, back in the 80s, our crosstown rival successfully executed that very play against us. Our coach was pissed the rest of the season, he just couldn't let it go.

Reminds me of when Chang served an underhand drop shot to Lendl.

Looks like it went exactly as planned and practiced.

I like how the guy who leveled the QB just stands there after he relizes what just happened.

 
MugzyBrown [TotalFark] 2009-11-23 03:03:41 PM  
That's a pretty stupid play.

Just because it happened to work doesn't mean it was a good play design.

The guy was actually covered half decently

I like that the QB got leveled.

/went to one of Bethel's rivals
//Still hate them

Trick plays in a 30 - 0 game? I would have put that QB in traction for a month on the next play. What horseshiat.

Oh simmer down. For all we know it could have been 6-0 after that TD.

Why didn't ESPN pop-up with an overlay telling us the down and distance?

If my team loses 30-0, I'll call it luck too.

Oh, I'm sorry... I thought they were playing football, not "friendly game of slap and tickle and then let's all go for tea and cakes, nancy".

Subby, It was definetly intentional. It may have been very very stupid. Because with decent reaction time, any of those defenders had at least a chance to swat it down. But still it was done on purpose and suceeded, so we cant really call it all luck. I would say it was lucky the defense was so dumb.

The box score is incomplete, so it doesn't say when the play occurred -- although from what limited info there is, it is safe to say that kicking a field goal as time expires so that you win 30-0 instead of 27-0 isn't what most people call a "classy move".

Aren't you people usually the ones who complain about pansy liberals who insist on participation awards and awards for "most improved"? This is football, where you play the entire 60 minutes, not snooze if you get more than 7 points ahead because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If you care about feelings, go back to playing baseball.

 
Skorp 2009-11-23 04:16:41 PM  
Im almost positive that was a 2 pt converstion not a touchdown pass. Thats atleast how it was listed where I saw it previously.

Kicking a field goal when you can kneel out the clock with a 27 point lead is an unnecessary risk. Any coach really playing the game isn't going to risk having a player injured to kick a FG for a 30 point win.

sorry subby, that was designed.. watch the receiver, he was looking for the ball

gatorCHOMP: sorry subby, that was designed.. watch the receiver, he was looking for the ball

exactly. its just ill advised. Because if the d was paying any attention at all, thats a pick and possibly 6 points to go with it.

You know...sportsmanlike conduct and all that - totally agree. But what's bad about professionals giving their all? I know the Pats get accused of this all the time, and I don't even care for them...but what's the problem? Once you have certain victory by a large enough score it's probably dumb to keep your starters in, but I don't see a major issue in professional sports having the highest possible scoring total.

I don't think anyone is claiming that the QB accidentally flung the ball over his shoulder backwards to a DE lined up as a TE... just that the designed play was so unnecessarily risky that it isn't a good trick play. 99 times out of 100 that ball is batted down, and in the NFL it is a pick 6... or an unsuccessful conversion if it was a 2 point try.

Who you callin' "you people"?

Seriously though, there was 1 second remaining. Kneeling on the ball would have ended the game -- all 60 minutes of it. The game was not just effectively over because it was actually over.

There's nothing bad about professionals giving their all. However, I doubt that the NAIA is a professional league.

Go Gustavus, screw Bethel. That is all.

But it does work DIII and High School.

The play looked like a Toss/Student Body right. Defense reacted to it. Eligible OT sneaks out to the left and takes the crazy pass from the QB who is faking the toss on the sweep.

Risky, but obviously planned and practiced.

I don't disagree that it was planned and practiced... but even at DIII and High School that play doesn't work most of the time.

No doubt...just went on a tangent there.
