The Tradition Continues
11.26.09It’s Thanksgiving, which means that, once again, it’s time to post 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, YEEEEEEHAWWWWWWWW IT GOT FUKKING CRAZY!
Some fun facts about this game:
-Dick Jauron would have kicked away
-Eric Mangini would have faked the onside kicks
-Belichick would have started onside kicking in the first quarter
Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.

“Break out the oreos, baby!”
DADGUMMIT!!!
@Pony
Gary Coleman shares your pain.
If King Laserface has been playing in this game, we’d still be waiting for his last pass to return to earth.
Lofty lofting!
Belichick would have started onside kicking in the first quarter
Based on the way that John Tyler was handling the onside kicks at the end of the game, that might not have been such a bad idea.
I graduated from John Tyler and I was at this game. None of us thought JT had a chance once Plano East scored the go ahead TD.
I didn’t get to hear the call of this sequence until ESPN ran it a couple weeks later.
I attended this game at the ripe old age of 9 and rooted for my cousin, who played for Plano East. Will forever haunt me.
/Coach, why’d you kick it deep?
//Shoots self 15 years after the fact.
uh, for a second there, I thought I was watching the Pittsburgh Steelers in those last few seconds.
Man, I laugh every time I see this.
Yehaw!1!1!!
@BDD: Do we have to do this every year? I hate that ensuing kickoff.
@Sex Cannon in the City: As an East alum, I say you can cram your opinions up your Wildcat ass.
@ThePirateSloth: I take it you got the fuck out of Richardson, no?
John Harbaugh would’ve simply blended back into the crowd, cuz no one knows who the fuck he is.
Lovie Smith would have challenged that kickoff return.
Todd Haley would have f***king cussed somebody the f*** out!
Thank you for that, NFL network.
I say fuck all of Plano North, South, East and West. Fuck ‘em all.
I didn’t know that Steelers special teams coach Bob Ligashesky got his start at coaching kick coverage in Plano TX.
@ThePirateSloth: no, no, fuck Plano EAST. (Also, Plano West.)
Tom Cable would have been so pissed that he punched his wife.
@Otto Man
I heard that too! I thought I was going crazy… Respect to the soundman there, hahaha
This game must have been as devastating to lose as the 86 World Series was to the Red Sox.
Did the Dallas stadium sound crew just play the Nelson Muntz “har-har” to mock the Raiders for their face mask penalty?
That. Is. Awesome.
@Ben: Thanksgiving is when we sit down and stuff food into other food and eat too much of it while watching football and shouting obscenities at our relatives. Just like the Indians and the Pilgrims did.
I’m British. What is thanksgiving?
Also, am I fucked up for falling more and more in love for his gritty yet ultimately rubbish performances?
I wasnt really listening but i think Dan Marino just said that hed like to stuff Coach Cohwers mom
Seriously, I always have to watch this. Plano East used to beat the shit out of my high school every year from 92-96… fuck, I’m pretty sure they beat my JV basketball team every time too. But when this happened… I fucking loved it back then. And love it now.
Fuck you Plano.
I love this fucking clip.
Giddy from Stafford’s measty performance last week, I took the Lions to cover today. FML.
First ever Meast revoked?
Buddy Garrity, or rather Brad Leland, played on one of Plano Senior High’s state champion teams back in the day. He was in all likelihood at this game, but I am pretty sure that’s not his voice on the tape.
jim caldwell, too, but with more blitz
tony duny would’ve prayed to jesus
“They just missed the greatest comeback of all time! Of all time!”
I feel like I’m the only one that heard that and thought something along the lines of “Damn, Kanye samples EVERYTHING.”
Ape only eats white meat.
After watching Stafford throw a pick to start the second half I wonder if we’ll see him go from Meast to Least in one week. I know there’s plenty of potential suckitude left this week, but it’s worth considering.
Andy Reid would have been too distracted by the sound of a passing ice-cream truck to call a play.
What the fuck, is this the halftime show from Thanksgiving 1972?
Is Buddy Garrity announcing this game? Because one of those guys really, REALLY sounds like him.
Playing against rodgers in fantasy. God the lions suck ass.
/food coma only a few hours away
I was in Japan when this game was played…never heard a damn thing about it til KSK!
Is this the early game open thread?
Zorn would have ran a stretch play out of the endzone.
The Packers are giving Aaron Rodgers time to throw only as a special Thanksgiving treat.
Rex Ryan would have slaughtered a man named John Tyler.
I’m actually from Plano, and I remember this game. It was a non-stop topic of conversation for like 6 months.
Raheem Morris would have fired his special teams coach after the second onside kick.
Always a favorite.
The youtube page puts the score at 41-17 at the start.
they should get these two good ole boys to replace Gruden and Jaws on MNF.
I was five years old and lived on the other side of Plano at the time this happened. I still remeber thinking how fucked it was that people were happy this happened. Then I started following football and it all made sense. On another note I think this loss is what caused all those heroine overdoses at East Plano H.S. a few years later.
Good gosh ammighty, I done wet my britches.
Packers-Lions to get the day started? Oh, dear.
Jerry Jones just bought John Tyler High school CUZ THOSE KIDS GOT MOXIE!!!
Mike Tomlin wouldn’t have been surprised.
That’s good Tixass football right there!
/played high school ball in Texas
//but it was for a tiny private school
///but we were really good… so that counts, right?
According to an ESPN story I read, the dude who fumbled the second and third onside kicks was the same guy who ran the last kick back. Talk about semi-Lebronesque redemption.
On the third onside kick, Lovie would have his hands guys back at the goal line just in case of a fake.
Andy Reid would’ve stopped paying attention at the 3:00 mark
Wade Phillips would have slathered the gameplan in melted butter and honey.
Brad Childress would have challenged it after taking a timeout.
I love how that one announcer is all like , YEHAWWWWW WE DONE DONE it ! Good God almighty me dundun it !
And then he’s all like AWWWWWWWWWW NAAAAAWWWWW oh good god I don’t…. oh man Imma throw up.
Priceless.
That game is the TITS.
“I done wet my britches” was also Pat Summerall’s signature call, just not while broadcasting.
