Saw this on Smoaky and thought it would make for good conversation here as well. Name something funny or amazing you been through on the field or seen on the field.

Something funny or amusing!

Most occurances on a football field, are either exciting, dull, awe inspiring, crazy, or plain ole unexplainable. But I'm sure all of us have witnessed something funny, or amusing on the field as well. Tell us something you personally have witnessed on the field, that was either funny, or amusing. And no fishermans stories. LOL

Since I brought it up, I'll go ahead and start. Back somewhere around 1959, or 1960 I was at a Buckeye game at the old (Henry) McClelland Field in Gilmer. I don't even remember who Gilmer was playing,,, after all I was only 10 or 11 years old. You have to understand,, this was the time when contact lens were starting to gain popularity. We had a quarterback by the name of Kenneth Fielden, at least I'm about 80% sure he was playing quarterback at the time.

He happened to be wearing contacts during the game. Now this wasn't the modern kind of soft flexible contacts, but was the old stiff kind. During the game, after a play had been run, he went to one of the officials, and told him he had lost one of his contacts. They stopped the game,,, and had every player, and coach, on both teams, out there on their hands and knees looking for his lost contact. Even the officials were helping. It was a very bizarre site for sure,, .

Now,, believe it or not, one of the players saw it laying there in the grass, reflecting the lights from the stadium. They gave it to Jerry, and he went to the sidelines,, rinsed it off, and put the thing back in, and the game went on.

I can't tell you if we won the game or not,,, but I just know I won't ever forget the sight of all those guys out there down on their knees searching for a contact lens. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen happen on a football field.

About 8 years ago I was coaching a Junior High game in Liberty. I had a kid that forgot his mouthpiece. We had brought exrtas so I went to the equipment bag and pulled one out. I handed to the kid and started to walk off. He stopped me and in all seriousness said (this is no lie) "Do you have any boiling water so I can get it to fit my mouth". I was so dumbstruck I couldn't even give him a snappy come back.

A more recent one (last night) I had a kid on my 8th grade B team line up at wing. He got down in a 3 point stance at which point someone from the stands (his mom or sister) called his name. He proceeds to come out of the stance, turn and wave to them. Then he gets back in the stance. I think the official was laughing so hard he couldn't throw a procedure flag.

3 things that happened during PNG games:

1. the first season we saw the "Bonzai Man". Man Bridge City had it with that guy. I remember a kickoff when we were up around 35-0 and none of the Cards went to block for there kick returner, they all attacked the Bonzai Man!! They were pissed!!

2. When the LCM Bear tackled the Indian Spirit. (coach it was a male...he had to go to PNG HS and apologize, it was on TV) This had to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen on a football field. The whole game was amazing. PNG was the underdogs playing on the road against a strong LCM team. This "attack" happened before the game on the field. Man were the NDN fans livid. Then PNG jumped to a 21-0 halftime lead and after the NDN band was finishing the halftime show with the marching I, the spirit did his dance on the 50 yd line with the LCM fans were booing like crazy, then he threw his spear into the middle of the field and pointed at the scoreboard. This stuff was made for TV. I thought there was going to be a riot. Next LCM came out and DOMINATED the 2nd half to win the game like 28-21 or something like that. It was a very emotional fun unbelievable game to attend!!

3. To see the PNG and Nederland bands perform God Bless America together at halftime 5 years ago after the 9/11 trajedy. It still gives me goosebumps to think about that time and it was GREAT to see it in person.

Last year at the Vidor vs Barbers Hill freshman game, the Vidor kicker kicked the ball off and it went pretty deep, he grabs the tee and runs off the field, and the returner went all the way for the score (if he wouldve stayed on, he wouldve made the TD saving tackle) , that TD ended up being the game winner, funniest thing ive ever seen even as a fellow Pirate :lol:

I have seen two events that I can recall both when I played for Jasper between 74' and 75'

number 1. we couldnt find a kicker for the kick off to save our lives, but we had one person Oscar who was doing real well in practice so he won the job....It was the opening kickoff of the game (cant remember who we were playing) but Oscar tee's the ball up breaks the huddle and procedes to kick the living daylight out of the ball only to miss it on the up swing of his foot but catch it on the downswing with the back of his foot. the ball went several yards backward and I remember the the stadium announcer saying "onside kick attempt by Jasper" from that day the kicker was known as "onside Oscar"

number 2. I was playing on the kickoff recieving team and fielded a short kick. Well I got hit so hard that my helment twisted and my nose was sticking out of my ear hole. Coach Watkins (when the coaches were the medical staff also) come up and asks me how many fingers he was holding up. of couse I couldnt see any fingers due to the fact that my nose was now sticking out of my ear hole....I ended up going to the hosptal were they had to cut the helment off :shock:

does anyone remember being at the Nederland game a few years ago where the ref threw the flag right by the sideline and a golden gaurdian thought it would be funny to cover it with his foot, they hunted that flag for a few min. then I think the kid couldn't figure how to get off of it,he got supended for a couple of games.Everyone on the Nederland side knew where the flag was,all I remember was a lot of laugther.

Tuesday night at the Dayton 7th grade B game I saw a coach making some A team players do updowns and bear crawls in the scoreboard end zone during the 3Q(behind the goal post). They got caught running around under the bleachers.

It was hilarious. :D

I bet the won't do that again.

In the mid 80's at Warren, we were working on the on-side kick, without ANY success. As it was, one of our coaches had an artificial leg, after much aggrevation by everyone, he reached down pull off his leg, and golfed it........the prettiest on-side kick you have ever seen.........but then the funniest part........he always wore long pants due to his leg........now we all had to circle around him while he sat on the ground take his pants off and put his leg back on right in the middle of the practice field, and then to add the shock, before that instance, MOST of us had no idea, we just thought he had a slight limp from an old injury or something.

In 2000 we (sabine pass) were playing chester. Chester had a very tough team that year. And we as usual on had about 14 guys on the team. Right after halftime our qb was taken out of the game with a concusion. He was so out of it on the side lines, he saw a red light from a video camera and kept telling the coaches that chester had snipers in the trees........

But to add to the saga, our back up qb was a little green to say the least. The first play he was in the game he lined up behind the left tackle. I said tackle, not gaurd or center. Calls the snap and the center snaped it to no one. Two plays later we have to punt and it's the back up qb punting. I was one of the protectors 5 yards off the line. He kicked the ball right into my back. The ball went 15 yards behind me.

I am sure someone had a good laugh with that game.

2003, the ref called the play down.  Jordy Matherson was so short, he went under the 3 or 4 defenders that tried to tackle him.  Ref looked at the heap of players and whistled the play dead.  Look onthe sidelines, Jordy was streaking down the sidelines in the end zone.  That was a trip.
