The Tradition Continues
It’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.

“I done wet my britches” was also Pat Summerall’s signature call, just not while broadcasting.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:40 am
That game is the TITS.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:49 am
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.

Brad Childress would have challenged it after taking a timeout.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Wade Phillips would have slathered the gameplan in melted butter and honey.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:15 am
Andy Reid would’ve stopped paying attention at the 3:00 mark
November 26th, 2009 at 10:33 am
On the third onside kick, Lovie would have his hands guys back at the goal line just in case of a fake.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:39 am
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 10:45 am
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?
November 26th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Mike Tomlin wouldn’t have been surprised.
November 26th, 2009 at 11:27 am
Jerry Jones just bought John Tyler High school CUZ THOSE KIDS GOT MOXIE!!!
November 26th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Packers-Lions to get the day started? Oh, dear.
November 26th, 2009 at 11:33 am
Good gosh ammighty, I done wet my britches.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
they should get these two good ole boys to replace Gruden and Jaws on MNF.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
The youtube page puts the score at 41-17 at the start.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
Always a favorite.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Raheem Morris would have fired his special teams coach after the second onside kick.
November 26th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
I’m actually from Plano, and I remember this game. It was a non-stop topic of conversation for like 6 months.
November 26th, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Rex Ryan would have slaughtered a man named John Tyler.
November 26th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
The Packers are giving Aaron Rodgers time to throw only as a special Thanksgiving treat.
November 26th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Zorn would have ran a stretch play out of the endzone.
November 26th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
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?
November 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Playing against rodgers in fantasy. God the lions suck ass.
/food coma only a few hours away
November 26th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Is Buddy Garrity announcing this game? Because one of those guys really, REALLY sounds like him.
November 26th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
What the fuck, is this the halftime show from Thanksgiving 1972?
November 26th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Andy Reid would have been too distracted by the sound of a passing ice-cream truck to call a play.
November 26th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Ape only eats white meat.
November 26th, 2009 at 2:43 pm
“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.”
November 26th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
tony duny would’ve prayed to jesus
November 26th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
jim caldwell, too, but with more blitz
November 26th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
First ever Meast revoked?
November 26th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Giddy from Stafford’s measty performance last week, I took the Lions to cover today. FML.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I love this fucking clip.
November 26th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 4:07 pm
I wasnt really listening but i think Dan Marino just said that hed like to stuff Coach Cohwers mom
November 26th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
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?
November 26th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
@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.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
This game must have been as devastating to lose as the 86 World Series was to the Red Sox.
November 26th, 2009 at 5:56 pm
@Otto Man
I heard that too! I thought I was going crazy… Respect to the soundman there, hahaha
November 26th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Tom Cable would have been so pissed that he punched his wife.
November 26th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
@ThePirateSloth: no, no, fuck Plano EAST. (Also, Plano West.)
November 26th, 2009 at 8:27 pm
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.
November 26th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
Thank you for that, NFL network.
November 26th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
Todd Haley would have f***king cussed somebody the f*** out!
November 26th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Lovie Smith would have challenged that kickoff return.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:28 am
John Harbaugh would’ve simply blended back into the crowd, cuz no one knows who the fuck he is.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:57 am
@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?
November 27th, 2009 at 1:31 am
Man, I laugh every time I see this.
Yehaw!1!1!!
November 27th, 2009 at 1:55 am
uh, for a second there, I thought I was watching the Pittsburgh Steelers in those last few seconds.
November 27th, 2009 at 2:48 am
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.
November 27th, 2009 at 8:17 am
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.
November 27th, 2009 at 8:29 am
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.
November 27th, 2009 at 11:16 am
If King Laserface has been playing in this game, we’d still be waiting for his last pass to return to earth.
Lofty lofting!
November 27th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
@Pony
Gary Coleman shares your pain.
November 27th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
DADGUMMIT!!!
November 27th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
“Break out the oreos, baby!”
