A Texas High School Football Game Ended With A Game-Winning 99 Yard Fumble Return Touchdown As Time Expired In One Of The Most Preposterous Finishes You Will Ever See
HO-LY FUCK. No offense to the good people that are fans of Lone Star High School football, but I have to give my honest thoughts on that play using one of my favorite gifs ever.
I would say that this play would have been crazier if it happened in a bigger game like a showdown between two college football rivals or in the NFL playoffs. But based on everything I've ever heard about Texas high school football, the people who root for those teams likely will not be able to think about anything else for at least the rest of the year as the flags at Lone Star go down to half mast.
I thought the Mets blessed me with unexpected wins with all their late-game home runs during that ridiculous three week run as I watched with my fellow aliens here at Barstool. But for a 59-59(!!!) barnburner football game to end after a 99 yard scoop and score with no time left would be like a baseball team somehow winning a game where they are pitching with the bases loaded, no outs, and a 3-0 count. Fucking legendary stuff that must have Wakeland buzzing today and every store near Lone Star closed for mourning until Monday.
P.S. I think my favorite part of that video was not even knowing there was a second announcer in the booth until he started screaming "WHAT?!?!?" out of the blue over and over once the kid on Wakeland hit the 50, likely because his brain couldn't register what his eyes were seeing as it was happening. Sports fucking rule.
