Subject: Memorable Moments From The World Of Sports...Caught On Tape

Written By: Henk on 06/25/12 at 3:26 pm

I was sure we'd already covered this, but maybe I was wrong.

Anyway... I thought this might be a good idea. The funny, the silly, the downright dumb, the painful, the laughable, the WTF?!?, the OMG!!... any sport, any league, any country. Post it here. Please.

I'll kick off. Quite literally. (You might have to watch this twice)

When I saw Nebraska bad memories came flashing back. In a midget football game, (Pop Warner elsewhere) former
Husker runningback, Mike Rozier Stepped squarely on my back on his way to the endzone. One of my few self proclaims
of fame.  ;D

I totally remember that. Might've even seen it live, I'm not entirely sure.

Reminds me of some Formula One action... Remember Lewis Hamilton in the 2007 Chinese GP? Tyres worn to shreds for everyone to see...but let's do another lap. And another. And another. And now seems like a good time to...enter.. the.. pit lane... gravel trap..? :-\\ Way to go, Lewis! ::)

Both him, and the goal keeper in video #2, forgot the Goalie Rule #1: ALWAYS keep your eyes on the ball (or puck).

That is what is known as a "Hail Mary Pass"  because it has just about no hope of making it. Doug Flutie was famously known for it while playing for Boston College.  I always feel the receiver gets gypped, I don't think anyone knows his name....(Gerard Phelan)

2007 Fiesta Bowl - Boise State vs. Oklahoma.

One of the greatest college football games I've ever seen (and I'm a Nebraska fan).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhuHuFbIFy4&feature=related

Not only does Boise State upset the mighty Oklahoma Sooners with bold and clever playcalling but to put the icing on the cake, Ian Johnson (the running back who scored the winning two-point conversion) proposes marriage to his cheerleader girlfriend, who gladly accepts.

It doesn't get any better than this.  ;)

I actually watched this game live on TV in Kansas City while on the phone for pretty much the whole second half with my brother, who was also watching it back in Nebraska. (You just gotta love free nights and weekends plans.  ;))

We were both going nuts, not only because growing up in Big 12 country we've always known what a powerhouse Oklahoma is, but more importantly because we have an uncle who at the time was a dean at Boise State, and we just knew he had to have been there. Naturally I called him the next day and he was still excited about it.

It was such a pivotal game in college football history because Boise State for years was having undefeated or one-loss seasons yet was being completely shunned by the bowl selection committee for being in a lower-tier (or mid-major) conference and this was their shot to prove that they could hang with the big boys, and they did so in dramatic fashion.

Thank God college football is finally getting a playoff in two years.
