Corpus Christi Trick Play Goes Viral
Trick play called legal

The football players at Driscoll Middle school are getting national attention after losing their city's championship.

It is not the game, but one single play that has become a huge hit online. Driscoll trailed by a touchdown in the second half and resorted to the "penalty play".

Quarterback Jason Garza drew the defense off sides using a long snap count. Referees walked off the five yards for the penalty, that's when the trick kicked into high gear.

Assistant coach John De Los Santos began yelling from the sidelines that it should have been a ten yard penalty. He told his quarterback to mark off another five yards.

QB Jason got behind the center who then casually, but legally snapped the ball by handing it to his quarterback over his shoulder.

"That’s when I acted like I was marking off the penalty, I was counting my steps out loud like it was the yardage,” Jason told the Corpus Christi Caller Times. “My linemen played it up asking me what I was doing, too. When I got to the middle linebacker, he asked what I was doing. I told him I was marking off the penalty yardage. He said, ‘Isn’t the ref supposed to do that?’ I told him I was doing it and kept on walking. When I got to the fourth step, I heard a Wynn Seale coach yelling ‘Tackle him!’ so that’s when I took off running.”

Jason Garza scored, tying the game with the touchdown, but it was not enough to win. Driscoll's opponent Wynn Seale won the game that ended in a 6-6 tie because of a tiebreaker.

Assistant coach De Los Santos told the Times, “I knew the play because I ran it in seventh grade, and coincidentally it was against Wynn Seale then, also,” De Los Santos said. “But when I tried it, the safety hit me nine yards down field and knocked the wind out of me. That’s why I told the guys that this was either going to be a real big play or Jason was going to get hit hard. Thank goodness it worked out a lot better this time.”

Dallas, TX   (AP) - A seven year old boy was at the center of a Dallas County courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree reasonably possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.

After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Dallas Cowboys professional football team, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

Choke does not give that performance justice.  Sadly, I predicted this also.  We now focus on Nellie's Pats.  Both teams have shown signs of greatness and suckitude. 

Until this season, it has never been the style of Jamie Dixon to run the score up on anbody.  The last two games, however do not fit into that mold.  It could be because the bench is just as talented as the starters.  There is no standout player on the team.  Just solid teamwork.

The Terps should be ok.  Pitt does have one major and somewhat unfair advantage on everybody so far in this early season.  They played their 15th game today, and have been practicing since August.  The NCAA gave them permission to do so becuase they toured Ireland.  They played ten games in Ireland, even playing in Gazza's town!

Watched the Pacquiao fight last night in Dallas. Margarito got beat so bad I thought I was watching a Cowboys game.
