Wild thought just flashed across my pathetic, pitiful, useless mind.
I'd like to hear some of the funniest or most unusual/weird things that you ever had happen in a football game. I'll start with one that probably happened to some of you too.
1-Had a coach once that insisted the QB press the back of his upper hand against the Center's butt so the Center would know just where to place the ball. I was the Center and the whole butt of my pants ripped wide open in the game. There were no extra pants back then and the only thing I had on under my pants was a jock strap. The QB bitched and moaned but he still had to stick his hand in my butt to get the ball. Turned out to be quite hilarious for the whole team.
How about your craziest ball game happening.
 
probably this past fall when i was coaching at pepperell and our punter punted the ball and it went about 30 yards backwards...not funny at the time but watching film later it was hilarious

Pepperell? The two seasons before this one my former team (Lovett) beat you guys in the first round both years in a row, at your place. Those were some good games. Especially the first one. we won by like a point or something.

yea i saw the film on the last game they played and it was a good game
 
a guy in my high school that was our QB, DE and Punter also had one go backward. he walked on a Tech actually...


my best story is that we had this C on our team that was pretty big. more like the kind that is a little too big coming out of HS for college, with not enough growth left. but in HS he was big. his bro played as South Carolina, so he had a little of an attitude about how good he was. one game, first play in the game, im at the tail and suddenly the whole OL is laughing right during the snap count. well, we actually get the play off, and it goes for 4-5 yards on a dive to the 4 hole, but when we get back to the huddle, the WRs, FB and i want to know what was going on. Apparently, our bigass C had looked right at the NG and said to him, "hey, pal, your gonna be my woman tonight" - which caused the laughs. he did actually pancake him a bunch that night. i think he really got into that guys head with that comment..
 
So are we coming out of the closet.. or.. what's going on here?

Hate to bust your bubble but we're talking football games here.
No closets, no fairys, no Clintons here, just football with some humor.
If this puts you in or out of your closet, so be it. Not what the thread intended.

I had a buddy in high school that had one go the wrong way in the first game he'd been able to get his step-dad (they weren't terribly close) to come to.

First time up. Get ready for prime time, baby! and the damn thing went off the side of his foot somehow and bounced behind the line of scrimmage. ******ist looking kick I've even seen and this kid did have a good leg. Never seen a greater, slobbering, deer-in-the-headlights look of shock.

He was inconsolable. He was mortified. Heck, I'd say he was catatonic. We practically had to help him off the field.
