Happy Halloween, Sickos
Me dressed up as the pop-tart mascot. I will likely not wear this for long because it’s hard to drink my drinks I’ve made to drink and get drunk

"It’s the most fantastic ending that you’d never predict."

"An explosion of probability."

"One of the greatest endings in the history of college football."

"It’s just pure shock."

"Sean McDonough lives rent-free in my head."

"It still gives me goosebumps."

the Trouble with the Snap game actually was the first of two games that season where Michigan State won but didn't have the lead until 00:00.

some interesting (10yo) game notes: punter Blake O'Neill's game started with a huge 80-yard punt before ending with trouble with the snap, the botched punt was the game's only turnover, and the game's final TD was the only time Michigan State had the lead. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

learned a lot reporting this, but two injury things i didn't know:

-Jalen Watts-Jackson dislocated his shoulder two days before the game and almost didn't travel to Ann Arbor
-long snapper Scott Sypniewski broke his thumb on the last play ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...
Watts-Jackson, MSU: Two days before the game, I dislocated my [left] shoulder in practice … so there wasn't even a promise that I was going to travel to the game. Coach D asked me how I was feeling, if I was gonna play, and I told him I was going to play regardless. “WHOA, HE HAS TROUBLE WITH THE SNAP…” Blake O’Neill, U-M: I distinctly remember looking down to catch it, and then the next thing you know, it just hit the top of my fingers, and the ball’s on the ground. Sypniewski, U-M: I get hit pretty quickly by two guys, and I get thrown back on my back. I basically watched the play sitting on the ground, staring up at the opposite scoreboard as they ran in the score. I ended up breaking my thumb on that play, and the only thing that I remember was pulling my thumb back down and popping it back into place.
