    Great job by the play-by-play guy.

    Color man needs to be taken out and shot.

    Absolutely shits on that great call at the end.

    My bad. Maybe I should get an eye exam, because I was squinting by the end of that thing.

    Having covered an SCAC school, I'm floored that Trinity would need a play like that to beat Millsaps. Is Millsaps better, or is Trinity that much worse than they were five years ago?

    geeze, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a scribe and the word lateral first appears 212 words into this story

    that's more astounding than the play itself

    The Spanky play was awesome... But the thing that makes me laugh hard is the homer announcer doing the hyperbole. I was just waiting for a "Oh the humanity!!!!"

    Just taped it off ESPNews and watched it, and there are definitely 15 laterals, the last of which is a one-hopper to the dude who scores the touchdown. Incredible play.

    Would have liked to hear the losing teams' call.

    Could have been a variety of......

    A.) "I think I'm gonna throw up."

    B.) "Would someone please tackle this son of a bitch?"

    C.) Stunned silence.

    Here's what I want to see: How it was recorded in the box score.

    And ESPN had it as 14 laterals last night on College Football Final... admittedly, I gave up counting at about 6.
