“Good Gosh Almighty, Joe Friday!”
11.27.08It just isn’t Turkey Day without, once again, posting my favorite sports highlight of all time: the 1994 Plano East-John Tyler high school football game. Plano East trailed in this game 41-13 with just under three minutes to go. After that, THINGS DONE GOT WILDER THAN A GREASED CALF ROPIN’ CONTEST! YEEEEEEEEEEHAW I AM FUCKIN’ MAKIN’ A COMEBACK!
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

Damn, son! Ya’ll got me straight trippin’!
HAHAHA!!!! I went to the other (original) high school in Plano, and still love laughing at this. Sure, Plano East killed us during the regular season, but we went on to win our 7th state title that year.
Why do I feel like Al Bundy after typing that?
That was an amazing video.
I now am in need of acid to wash my ears out after listening to those announcers for 4:37.
1994 – I was at that game as my cousin played safety for East. Rumor has it that they kicked deep because the head coaches view of the end of the field was partially blocked by another coach – he didn’t see the return man deep, so they passed on the squib. Unbelievable.
Why wouldn’t you just kick another onsides kick in that spot? They’ve coughed up 4 in a row – isn’t it safe to assume they’re completely incapable of recovering one?
Don’t kick to Hester.
What happened to the other 10 or so seconds of that 24 seconds that were left prior to the kick return? Seemed like the game was over after that kick return… that kick return didn’t take 24 seconds, that’s for sure-
As an alum of Plano East, this saddens me. This was the closest the Panthers have been to a state
As an alum of Plano East, this saddens me greatly. That was the closest they’ve been to a state title. We got our revenge in 2007 though!
That was an amazing video. I want to laugh but i couldn’t, hahahahaha – see?
Never knew about this. The ending made me laugh an evil laugh. It’s good to watch others fail.
HE’S IN THE ENDZONE!!
(runner has at least three defenders in front of him that can make a play)
I just wasted 3+ hours of my life watching the Lions; shoulda just watched this video about 50 times.
Happy Thanksgiving to all…I’m thankful for this site. And beer.
YEEEEEE-HAAWWWWW!!!
GODDAMN THAT’S WHAT I CALL TIXAS FOOTBALL!
That has Major Motion Picture written all over it.
The end of that video is freaking priceless
Touche, 289….Touche.
21-3, and the first quarter’s not even over yet. Great googly-moogly.
BAH GAWD STONE COLD!! STONE COLD!!! STONE COLD!!!
Well fuck. Now I get to watch my Seahawks lose in the same stadium today.
Fuck you too Drew.
Lions turn the ball over on the second play from scrimmage.
Thank goodness we’re keeping the Detroit Thanksgiving game tradition alive.
“I’m sick. I wanna throw up.”
Me at approximately 6:30 pm.
Drew: Thanks for the inspriational footage to get Turducken day off on the right foot. GO COWBOYS!!!
That Jonathan Moxon is a heckuva QB. Where did he come from?
I done wet my britches!
@LSN — How’s that drug problem coming along?
Dear Lord, thank You for smiting Plano so very, very hard. Please continue to fuck them with Santonio Holmes’ cock. Amen.
Shoulda squibbed it.
+1, 289.
I don’t know how old it is either, if only there was a clue for the first 8 seconds.
I’ve seen this but I completely forgot how it ended.
“Good gosh-a-mighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111″ = Texan for “Holy shit”
What, they used to be their own country, makes sensethey have their own language.
Shoulda had Billy Bob out there for that last kick…
As a proud Plano East Senior High alumnus, I proffer a hearty ‘Up yours’, for bring this up again.
I don’t know exactly how old this clip is, but the “ESPN2: TO THE EXTREME!!!” logo was definitely a clue…
Wow – I miss TEXAS FOOTBALL!!!! Thanks for the clip – have a great turkey day!

Everything about that clip was amazing!
I love how everytime the RB caught a screen pass the announcer would scream “He’s gonna go all the way!” Umm… he’s at midfield and got tackled at the 40, there was never any reason to think he would go all the way.
As an American at work, I second your Fuck You Drew statement.
“Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.”
Fuck you Drew.
/Canadian, at work.
Wow, truly amazing! The best part is, for the rest of their lives, when those kids (now adults) begin telling their glorious story, someone can always deflate them by saying, “Yeah, but you lost!”
Never seen that before – amazing clip.
LOL! LOL! LOL!
I’m drowning here! That’s the most epic fail in the history of sports.
Charlie Weis doesn’t think this was out of the ordinary
