Ok I got a good one! (Really a bad one) In one of our varsity games I was playing LJ (6 man crew), and the offense lined up to punt. After the punt, the returner comes over to my sideline, the BJ is covering the return. Well I see that he is coming toward me and I just KNEW he was going to get tackled, so I start yelling at the team on my sideline to move back so nobody would get hurt. Well by the time I looked up, the returner flew by me at moch 3 and kept going down the sideline. Now I KNOW I'm in big trouble. (I'm around the 50 yd line) So I start to run after him and "follow" the play, if that's what you want to call it. Sure enough, a defender is on his trail and I look at the WH amd he is scanning around like "who's covering the goal line?" (He's old so he wasn't about to run after him)
Anyway, the returner gets tackled around the 1 yard line. Uh oh, now we have controversy! Did he get in or not ??? I don't know ... the WH don't know, he thinks he got tackled at the 1, so I say OK! He's down at the 1. Well then the HL comes over and said he saw the guy cross the goal line and I proceeded to get my butt chewed on the field about how I should be down there yada yada yada... Boy that was a bad day !!! Good thing the game was a blowout. There's nothing worse than when you KNOW you messed up and you can't do nothing about it, especially when a score is involved.
