“Good Gosh Almighty, Joe Friday!”

It 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.

    LOL! LOL! LOL!

    I’m drowning here! That’s the most epic fail in the history of sports.

    Never seen that before – amazing clip.

  4. rusrus Says:

    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!”

    “Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.”

    Fuck you Drew.

    /Canadian, at work.

    As an American at work, I second your Fuck You Drew statement.

    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.

    I don’t know exactly how old this clip is, but the “ESPN2: TO THE EXTREME!!!” logo was definitely a clue…

  11. Wooderson Says:

    “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…

  12. Justino Says:

    I’ve seen this but I completely forgot how it ended.

  13. twoeightnine Says:

    I don’t know how old it is either, if only there was a clue for the first 8 seconds.

  14. 310ToJoba Says:

  15. Punch Rockgroin Says:

  21. Christmas Ape Says:

    Lions turn the ball over on the second play from scrimmage.

    Thank goodness we’re keeping the Detroit Thanksgiving game tradition alive.

  22. The Pirate Sloth Says:

    Well fuck. Now I get to watch my Seahawks lose in the same stadium today.

    Fuck you too Drew.

  23. Drew Brees's Jock Strap Says:

  24. Otto Man Says:

    21-3, and the first quarter’s not even over yet. Great googly-moogly.

  25. Hakim Drops the Ball Says:

    Touche, 289….Touche.

  26. Eddie Guns Says:

    The end of that video is freaking priceless

  27. I'm (not) mad Says:

    That has Major Motion Picture written all over it.

  28. porky1 Says:

    YEEEEEE-HAAWWWWW!!!

    GODDAMN THAT’S WHAT I CALL TIXAS FOOTBALL!

  29. SonOfSpam Says:

    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.

  30. JaysonAych Says:

    HE’S IN THE ENDZONE!!

    (runner has at least three defenders in front of him that can make a play)

  31. David Says:

    Never knew about this. The ending made me laugh an evil laugh. It’s good to watch others fail.

  32. Athlete Says:

    That was an amazing video. I want to laugh but i couldn’t, hahahahaha – see?

  33. pbhawks45 Says:

    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!

  34. rich Says:

    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-

  35. Walter Sobchek Says:

    Don’t kick to Hester.

  36. Zeke Mowatt's Dong Says:

    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?

  37. Painful Says:

    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.

  38. TurleyGirlie Says:

    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.

  39. Bacon Says:

    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?
