The greatest choke of all time!!!! - 11/30/02 09:15 PM
Ladies and Gents of the football persuasion, you will not believe this story - I was there and I barely believe it myself
My Elma Eagles, last years 2A state champs by the way , played a state semifinal at the Tacoma Dome today against Lyndon Christian. Good team, outscored us 3 TDs to 1 in the first half and though we got within 5 points in the second, it was pretty much all over when our QB threw an interception with 1:30 to go. LC ran a couple plays and ran down the clock, we used our last time out, and on 4th down with 7 seconds remaining LC called time, the coach went in and gave them the final play, and instead of just taking a knee their QB ran around for awhile, ran into their endzone, and spiked the ball as the clock hit zero. Unfortunately for them, our defender instantly grabbed the ball in the endzone just before the final buzzer. Yep, those preppy showboat @ssholes gave us a TD to make the final score 20 to 19, and we are now going to the state finals next week instead of them
Now that, my freinds, is the mother of all chokes, is it not?
