Oh, That One Game @OhThatOneGame

Oh, that one game that ended on a botched punt with ZERO seconds left. #12 Michigan up 23-21 on #7 Michigan State, 10 seconds to go, 4th-and-2. Harbaugh burns a timeout to set up the punt. Just kick it and go home. Blake O'Neill gets a low snap, bobbles it, spins to punt anyway, gets hit. Ball floats up. Jalen Watts-Jackson catches it out of the air and goes 38 yards. Watts-Jackson broke his left hip getting tackled into the end zone. Spent the night in the University of Michigan hospital. Had surgery the next day. The scoreboard still read 17 seconds on the play clock and 0:00 on the game clock. Sean McDonough's call on ESPN is worth the rewatch alone. 🏈

Oh, that one at-bat when a 42-year-old pitcher Bartolo Colón hit the only home run of his 19-year career. Second inning, two outs, man on, 1-1 count. James Shields leaves a 90-mph fastball over the middle. Big Sexy turns on it and puts it in the left field seats. He watched it the whole way. Didn't drop the bat until he was past first. Statcast clocked the trot at 30.6 seconds. He came into that night hitting .093 for his career, 0-for-9 with six strikeouts on the season. His teammates hid in the tunnel to give him the silent treatment. Mets 6, Padres 3. Oldest player in MLB history to hit a first career homer. ⚾️

Oh, that one game when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points and the Lakers were LOSING. Down 63-49 at half. Down 71-53 in the third. The other four starters were Lamar Odom, Smush Parker, Kwame Brown and Chris Mihm. Kobe had 26 at the break. Then he put up 55 in the second half. 28-of-46 from the field. 7-of-13 from three. 18-of-20 from the line. 42 minutes, three turnovers. Lakers 122, Raptors 104. He averaged 43.4 points that January — the highest scoring month by anyone not named Wilt Chamberlain 🏀

Oh, that one run that literally registered on a seismometer. Marshawn Lynch, 4th quarter, Seahawks up four on the defending Super Bowl champion Saints. Second-and-10. Handoff from Matt Hasselbeck. 67 yards. Nine broken tackles. Fifteen seconds. A stiff-arm on Tracy Porter so violent it's been freeze-framed ten thousand times. The crowd's reaction shook the ground hard enough to register roughly magnitude 2.0 at a seismic station a block away on Occidental Avenue. Seismologists at the University of Washington confirmed it afterward. Seahawks 41, Saints 36. Seattle went 7-9 that season — the first team ever to make the playoffs with a losing record in a full season. 🏈

Oh, that one shot when 13-seed Valparaiso beat 4-seed Ole Miss at the buzzer on a play the coach's son ran perfectly. Down 69-67, 2.5 seconds left, full length of the floor to go. Homer Drew calls a play named "Pacer" that he picked up from Hubie Brown at a coaching clinic. Jamie Sykes inbounds over midcourt. Bill Jenkins outjumps his man and taps it sideways in one motion to Bryce Drew, running full speed. 23-foot three at the horn. Valparaiso 70, Ole Miss 69. Homer coached it, Bryce hit it, and Scott Drew was on the bench as an assistant. Homer later admitted they almost never completed the play in practice. 🏀

Oh, that one game when Boise State beat Oklahoma with THREE trick plays in the last two minutes. Broncos blow an 18-point lead. Down 35-28 with seven seconds left, 4th-and-18 — hook and lateral to Jerard Rabb, 50 yards, touchdown. Overtime. Adrian Peterson scores on the first play of OT. Boise answers with a halfback pass on 4th down, Vinny Perretta to Derek Schouman. Then Chris Petersen goes for two instead of tying it. Statue of Liberty. Zabransky fakes the throw, hands it behind his back to Ian Johnson, who walks in. Boise State 43, Oklahoma 42. Johnson proposed to his cheerleader girlfriend on the field minutes later. She said yes. 🏈

Oh, that one play when the Titans won a playoff game on a lateral with three seconds left. Steve Christie hits a 41-yarder to put Buffalo up 16-15 with 16 seconds to go. Game over. Except Tennessee had a kickoff return called "Home Run Throwback." Lorenzo Neal fields it, hands to Frank Wycheck, who fires it all the way across the field to Kevin Dyson. 75 yards, untouched. Dyson wasn't even supposed to be on the field — Derrick Mason had a concussion. Jeff Fisher explained the play to him during a TV timeout. Titans 22, Bills 16. Officials reviewed the lateral forever. Buffalo fans still say it was forward. 🏈

Oh, that one game when Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 8.9 seconds inside Madison Square Garden. Pacers down 105-99 with 18.7 seconds left. Knicks fans already heading for the exits. Miller takes an inbound from Mark Jackson and buries a three. Then he STEALS the inbounds pass from Anthony Mason, backpedals behind the arc, and hits another one. Two John Starks free throws missed. Miller rebounds, gets fouled, makes both. Pacers 107, Knicks 105. Spike Lee sat courtside and had to watch the whole thing. 🏀

Oh, that one game when the Cardinals were down to their last strike TWICE in the World Series and won anyway. Bottom of the 9th, two outs, two strikes, Rangers one pitch from their first title ever. Hometown kid David Freese triples over Nelson Cruz's head to tie it 7-7. Josh Hamilton homers in the 10th to put Texas back up two. Two outs, two strikes again — Lance Berkman singles it right back to tie. Bottom of the 11th, 3-2 count, Freese sends it to center. Cardinals 10, Rangers 9. First team in World Series history to score in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th. They won Game 7 the next night. ⚾️

Oh, that one game when Christian Laettner went a PERFECT 10-for-10 from the floor and 10-for-10 from the line in an Elite Eight overtime classic. 31 points. Not a single miss all night. Kentucky's Sean Woods banks in a runner over Laettner with 2.1 seconds left to go up one. Pitino's team is heading to the Final Four. Grant Hill throws it three-quarters of the court. Laettner catches, fakes right, dribbles once, turns, buries it at the horn. Duke 104, Kentucky 103. Sports Illustrated later called it the greatest college basketball game ever played. 🏀

Oh, that one play when Auburn returned a missed field goal 109 yards to beat #1 Alabama as time expired. Tied 28-28. One second put back on the clock after review. Saban sends out redshirt freshman Adam Griffith for a 57-yarder. It comes up short. Chris Davis catches it in the back of the end zone and goes the length of the field. Auburn 34, Alabama 28. First walk-off missed-field-goal return in FBS history — only the fourth ever recorded at any point. Rod Bramblett's radio call might be the greatest ever made. 🏈

Oh, that one game when the Buffalo Bills came back from 35-3 with a BACKUP quarterback and won. Jim Kelly hurt. Thurman Thomas hurt. Cornelius Bennett hurt. Warren Moon threw four touchdowns in the first half alone. Then a pick-six made it 35-3 in the third and Bills fans emptied the parking lot. Frank Reich threw four touchdowns — three to Andre Reed — and Buffalo scored 28 points in under seven minutes. Steve Christie recovered his own onside kick along the way. Bills 41, Oilers 38 in overtime. Still the largest comeback in postseason history. 🏈

Oh, that one game when Tracy McGrady scored 13 points in 35 seconds to beat the Spurs by himself. Houston down 76-68 with under a minute left. Fans were already walking out. Four straight three-pointers. One of them a four-point play on Tim Duncan. The last one from 26 feet with 1.7 seconds on the clock. Rockets 81, Spurs 80. T-Mac later said he'd been struggling to shoot for three full quarters: "I don't know what came over me." 🏀

Oh, that one game when a 20-year-old Kerry Wood struck out 20 Houston Astros in the fifth start of his career. One hit. No walks. No runs. 122 pitches, 84 of them strikes. The lone hit was an infield chopper that glanced off third baseman Kevin Orie's glove. He struck out the side four times and got a K in every single inning. Five straight Astros went down looking — Bagwell, Howell, Alou, Clark, Gutierrez. Game Score of 105. Still the highest ever recorded for a nine-inning start. Cubs 2, Astros 0. Wood won NL Rookie of the Year that season. ⚾️

Oh, that one time Chris Matthews randomly went off for 4 catches, 109 yards, and 1 touchdown in the Super Bowl for the Seahawks. Before this massive game, Matthews had exactly zero career NFL catches and was famously working at a Foot Locker.

Yes I already gave you the answer, this idiot gave Balogun a red card for an accident.

Oh, that one time Usain Bolt did a two-handed windmill dunk at The Garden. ATHLETE.

Oh, just Zion Williamson high school highlights. One of the craziest mixtapes you will ever seen. Zion was INSANE 😳 (via @Ballislife)

Oh, that one game last year when Dom Canzone went a PERFECT 5-for-5 & hit 3 HRs. The Mariners beat the Royals 12-5 on 14 hits 🔱
