Grand Blanc touches the ball down in their try zone for a twenty-two. The kicker brings up the ball and I frantically jump up and down the 22 line, only to be hit square in the face by the ball. I could care less, it’s now our scrum at the 22.
Approximate time left: 30 seconds. Weather: Pouring rain. Score: 10-12. Game: semi finals in the state playoffs. Win or go home.
Their weak side winger is cheating in, and their back line is solidified in the strong side of the field. “MARY MARY MARY” I call to the scrum half, our codename for the fly-half to go weak side. The scummie puts the ball in, and we successfully hook it. Our weak side winger cuts across the scrum to the strong side, bringing their winger with him. I cross the other way, and receive the ball.
25 meters: This is it.
20 meters: Their 8 man will NOT catch me.
15 meters: Their full back will NOT catch me.
10 meters: God himself could not stand between me and the try zone.
5 meters: I am Vince Young, running the ball in the corner of the end zone as time expires to win the Rose Bowl in 2005; nobody can stop me. Skip to last 30 seconds to see what I mean. + Show Spoiler +
0 meters: I slide in and touch the ball down as immortality envelops me.
Nothing short of pure extacy courses through my body as my team and I cry our joy at the top of our lungs. Our coaches are in tears. The game is over and we conquered the odds, the #5 seed triumphing over #1.
woah football or rugby? sorry if i sound like a dumbass but my high school has football season in fall, and i would guess so do most other high schools. but either way grats bro!
I find it suspicious that you are talking about this with "meters" since American football is played with yards.
Edit: Ok that Vince Young video is misleading. After actually reading your post and seeing things like "scrummie" I'm guessing this is not American football.
yea it's rugby, i was using vince young as an analogy, it was very similar to what happened. P.S. this was on last saturday, finals are this saturday(day after prom T_T )

Awesome stuff~~ and well written too-- The feeling of when your mind goes blank b/c you're trying your fucking brains out is amazing.
edit: did anyone get footage of it? must have been epic.
There may be some footage. However my mom decided that it would be a good idea to not film the epic second half where we staged our comeback because of "rain". T_T And yea that feeling was great. The only thing i remember thinking is "im going to score" and that was it.
And Hawk, in general it's organized smear-the-queer with teams. No blocking, no forward passes, and you're allowed to kick.
