i like sports. i'm not going to apologize for this. i know way too much about current and past players, strategies, offenses, defenses, and mascots of teams from all sports. when i came to columbia, mo for the univ. of missouri's j-school (pardon me "journalism" school) i wanted to be a sports writer. combining two passions of mine into one, an easy choice. after my first round of j-school classes i realized i hated the format of writing in journalism as was taught at the time.
so this morning i'm doing my usual internet check in and i find a video of a last second play in a football game between NCAA division III schools Trinity University and Millsaps that most likely will end up on a number of top ten plays of the year in the media.
for those not familiar with the intricate rules of football, just know that there is only two seconds left in the game and the only option Trinity has here is to score a touch down. in this case in order to keep the ball moving forward they have to either throw one big pass in the endzone or continuously lateral the ball to keep moving towards the endzone. trinity obviously chooses the latter:
as far as lateral circuses go this comes a close second to the Cal and Stanford game, in that game the marching band offers the perfect touch of last second dramatics.
