OT- crazy plays
So not sure how many of you saw the game- but Toronto/Texas in baseball had just about the craziest play I've seen. man on 3rd 2 outs and pitch is thrown. Catcher catches it and throws back to pitcher. Except it hits the batters bat as batter is standing in batters box. runner comes in to score..

So what's the craziest play you've ever seen?

You already know my answer to this question...

RE: OT- crazy plays
Untouchable but perhaps a close second is the River City Relay. In typical Saints fashion before 2009, they scored one of the most improbable TD's in football history similar to the Stanford Band Play, without the band of course, only to miss the PAT. They screwed over numerous bettors as well by beating the point spread, which they could have still failed to cover in OT.

RE: OT- crazy plays
In person?

Defensive back commits pass interference at about the five as the half is ending and the ball hits his helmet, bounces to the right and downfield, receiver running a parallel route slides and catches it in the end zone for a TD. UL Lafayette defensive back doesn't try to break up the play he makes a tackle and the half ends, instead results in a TD.

On TV?
Either of the games that a safety on the try.

The Memphis winning TD against Tennessee or the very similar TD AState scored against UL Lafayette last year where the running back was all over the pile but came off of it feet first, looked around for a second and took off running.

Central Michigan's TD on the last play of last year's Bahamas Bowl vs. Western Michigan was pretty wild, too. CMU still lost the game because they unsuccessfully went for 2 after the TD.

RE: OT- crazy plays
Southern Miss vs East Carolina back in the 80's. USM is down to there last play and throw a long pass. The receiver is being tackled as time runs out and is laying on the ground when he laterals the ball forward. A flag is thrown but the player receiving the lateral runs into the end zone for a TD. ECU has to accept the penalty and USM gets the ball and kicks the game winning field goal. A few seconds later a fan runs onto the field and clothes lines the referee. The other referees and a few security guards quickly come to the rescue.

ECU refuses to put that game as a loss in the record book.

I was at that Memphis game - it was a wild play. One I watched on TV was the Music City Miracle play for the Titans with Air McNair on their way to the Super Bowl.

Wow that sucks. Could that happen now or have they changed rules to prevent something like that occuring?

RE: OT- crazy plays
Not a crazy play but crazy sequence back in the 90's.

AState throws a pass to the sideline, incomplete, but officials ruled it was a lateral, ULM picks it up and runs it in for a TD.

Next possession for ULM they do the same thing and AState scores.

Crap like that is why the Sun Belt was so awful when it started in 2001.

If USM is penalized for the forward lateral as time expired, wouldn't that just end the game? They (USM) would only get an untimed down if the penalty were called against ECU, since a game can't end on a penalty against the defense.

If the penalty were against ECU, then why wouldn't they recognize the loss?

And if the man was already down when he threw the forward lateral, wouldn't the play be over (meaning anything he did with the ball simply wouldn't count). I'm confused.

Why don't more teams use this trick kickoff return? Seems like it would work again.

No replay back then. Today it would be an ECU win.

The referee didn't call the player down, he only threw a flag for a forward lateral. We had to accept the penalty because USM scored on the play. Therefore, USM got to run a play after the penalty was enforced.

Without checking the rule book...
Even without replay I don't think that could happen today because I think the 10 second runoff would apply.

Because teams are prepared for it, especially if it takes as long to develop as the famous one did.

The craziest play I saw live involved the infamous former Boise and Baylor player Sam Ukwauchu, accused of raping his girlfriend. His high school, Pearland, was down 38-34 very late in a crucial game and about 40 yards from paydirt. Their QB eluded tacklers in the backfield, ran toward the sideline, cocked back and launched a 40 yard bomb, caught by Ukwauchu with 8 seconds left.

If they don't win that, they don't go on to win the state title imo.

I don't believe the 10 second runoff was in place back then. I know there is a video of the play but I can't find it. I think it was the 1986 game.

The problem with crazy plays is they take too long to try to explain.
