CFB Classic: The Fifth Down Game

Being the summer right before/during training camps opening, that means I’m watching a lot of old games on YouTube.

This is the classic Fifth Down Game in 1990, which ended up changing the national title race.

Colorado is driving late to score a touchdown to win. Twice long gains are cut to shorter plays because thr Colorado players slip on the Mizzou artificial turf. Colorado has a first down inside the ten yard line. They spike the ball on 1st to stop the clock. Then run to the one yard line, and call time out. On 3rd down they run the ball and are stopped. Then thr QB spikes the ball on 4th down. But no official notices it is 4th down. They run an option play on fifth down to score and win the game.

They go on to split the national title with Georgia Tech.

Side notes, that is former KC Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy as the Star tailback for Colorado.

Three future NFL head coaches are on the Mizzou staff in this game…..including Andy Reid.

Georgia Tech beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Citrus Bowl to clinch their share of the split national tile with George O’Leary as the defensive coordinator.

Colorado almost lost to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl on a last second punt return by Rocket Ismail……but the play was called back due to clipping.

Favorite UCF players that don’t get enough recognition

Every always brings up guys like McKenzie Milton and Kevin Smith when discussing UCF GOATs, but who are your favorite UCF players that, in your opinion, don’t get the recognition you think they deserve?

For me it’s Marlon Williams. Dude has the fifth most receiving TDs in school history and is in the top 10 for nearly every other career receiving record in UCF history. He also put up over 1,000 yards and 10 TDs in the 2020 season where he only played 8 games. I know his measurables weren’t eye popping, but I still can’t believe he never even got a shot in the NFL.

Take care of yourselves

Today I lost way more than a cousin, I lost a friend, I lost the best man at my wedding. I am extremely sad, but also mad at him. He was 59! He treated his body like crap, smoked, drank and ate as much as he could all the time and eventually his body gave up. Yes I’m a little over weight, have a drink now and then and smoke a cigar once in while, but not constantly, everyday. Everything in moderation.

I know we bicker on here, but I love coming here with my half cocked ideas, and my dumb OT questions and sometimes getting great answers, I really don’t want to see any of you go.

I’ll miss you Jeff:

Lower that Pot of Water or I'll Shoot!


This is The Most Bizarre story of police misconduct I've ever heard.

The victim called the police to report a suspicious person lurking outside her home. When two deputies from the sheriff's office arrive, she invites them inside and talks with them in her living room before excusing herself to get a pot of water that was boiling off her stove in the kitchen. Her actions apparently spooked one of the deputies who points his gun at her and demands she....let go of the pot. Seeing the gun, she ducks and he shoots her in the head.

I'd love to have heard what the WC's resident police expert, @sk8knight, thought about this case. I'm guessing this Barney Fife with a gun will claim he feared for his life from this mother of two wielding a deadly kitchen pot in her hands. FYI, this yahoo had previously worked in six other police stations over the previous two years.
