winning game

 

flip!

watching the game...

to understand this picture: both teams were tied at 14 at the end of the fourth for the final game. They then went into the tie-breaker rules that NCAA has, which is head for a touchdown and extra point. The blue guys went for it, scored all 7 of their needed points and then the ball was turned over to the white team. The white team scored their touchdown and at the field goal kick, and the placeholder (also the son of the head coach for the team) fumbled on their kick, while the blue team's safety tackled the fumbled ball, allowing the blue team to win. The response? Boys pulling off their helmets, raising their index fingers, all before the referee even called the play.

One trip to Austin introduced my to this guy out on a private owned exotic ranch. If you get the chance, go there and support their cause--they are just north of Johnson City.
