3rd and 60!

Local HS game Friday night.

A has a first down on B's 20 and going in. TWEET, holding penalty on A. 1st and 20. Ball now on the 30.

Next play, A is in shotgun. A's center snaps the ball over the QB's head. Mad scramble. Ball is now set at B's 49. 2nd and 39!! Nice! 😮

Next play, A is in shotgun. The center AGAIN snaps the ball over the QB's head! 😮 QB gets to this one, tries to recover and double back. WHAM! Ball is now at his own 30. 3rd and 60!

A Coach then called a run for a gain of 3. PUNT! And, it was a good snap to the punter seeing how the center was apparently snapping for punts when he tried the shotgun snaps to the QB anyhow! 🙄

Anyone have a nice, long, down and distance like this before?

Anything past 30 or 35, our PAAs use "area code" or "postal code". 😛

Miami vs Texas in the Cotton Bowl had a 3rd and 55 - AND CONVERTED IT. Jerks. 🙂 (3 USC's on 2nd down)

Worst I ever had was peewee - something like 2nd and 70 after a kid got scared of the tacklers and ran the wrong way, ALMOST getting a safety. Still not sure why the B kid tackled him before he reached the EZ - but they were 8 or 9 year olds, so go figure.

Oh, that's easy: to boost his tackle stats! 😀

OK, this is OT for the OT, but mb - you reminded me of this.

My sister-in-law told me she was at a youth baseball game (probably sub-8 yr olds). These particular fields sit head to head....so, the first base line of Field A leads right into the third-base line for Field B.

Apparently, a little boy hit the ball into left field and just kept running.....right past first base and onto the next field toward third - he hadn't mastered rounding the bases. He may have even scored (ruling?) if he wasn't tracked down by a coach who ran after him! 😛 Classic.

That's nothing, I just saw video of a double field goal: football thru the posts and then swishing thru the basket in the adjacent court where kids were playing basketball.

Couldn't be double: the ball became dead after passing through the uprights. 😀
