Anyone see last night's Boise State overtime victory over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl? I know I didn't, and I am seriously bummed about that, because it's already being labeled by some sports reporters as the greates BCS bowl game ever.
I won't go through all the highlights, you can read all about them here. What I will mention is that Boise State's last touchdown was scored on a 50-yard hook-and-lateral pass with seven seconds left to play. And then instead of kicking the field goal, they go for two...and make it...on a freaking Statue of Liberty play. I don't think I've seen that since Curly grabbed the ball from Moe to beat the four horsemen. And as the icing on the cake, the Boise State running back proposed to his girlfriend...cue the freaking violins.
Anyway...bringing it all back to us. Anyone who looks up hook and lateral on Wikipedia today will see a link to our wild NFL plays post. So, people may start to know us for more than just gay porn.

It was actually even MORE dramatic than that. After the touchdown you mentioned, they went ahead and kicked the extra point and took it to overtime, where Oklahoma promptly scored on their first play from scrimmage. Boise State had their back against the wall on ANOTHER fourth down when it was their turn, when they ran a wide receiver pass and scored. Then they went for two and got it.
Can anyone write Wikipedia articles? Can we create a "Babes of the 1970s" entry, and re-post your article? Can YesButNoButYes have its own page? I think we're worthy. Or maybe not.
RP, I kept seeing those two video clips this morning (and wasn't listening that closely) so I assumed they were back to back. Thanks very much for the correction...and for not calling me an idiot :)
Aqua, I don't know the answer, but I think that's an awesome idea.
Does anyone know if the Fiesta Bowl will be replayed again. I fell asleep midway thru 4th quarter!!!!
