You can hear the commentator screaming “the band is out on the field!” Because the other teams supporters thought the game was over. A classic clip! I’m sure there is a full video about that moment online.
In addition to the band being on the field, at the beginning of the play at the other end of the field, the players did a series of lateral passes to keep the play alive.
IIRC, Stanford has in its records a different outcome, showing that they won, because one of the Bears was down before the lateral was made somewhere in that play, and replay (if they'd had it) would have shown that. But it goes into the books everywhere as a Bears win. Also IIRC, neither team had a win that season going into that game, so it didn't matter at all, except to the players and the fans. (Which is kinda the way football should be, don't you think?)
That last clip of the man speaking is "You laugh, you think and you cry." Was a former college basketball coach and broadcaster Jim Valvano. He coached a team to the championship in 1983, in fact the play they won the game on is in your part 1 of this video (at 17:16 or that video) and you see him running around looking for a player to hug. They were massive underdogs in that game. But that speech he gave tragically came near the end of his life. He was receiving The Arthur Ashe Courage Award while battling cancer and he was so sick at the time he couldn't walk on or off stage without help. During the speech he announced the start of The Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research which has raised over $170 million in 24 years. If you get the chance you should react to the entire speech it is amazing. And you should watch ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary on him and that 1983 team. The documentary is called "Survive and Advance"
His speech is from the ESPY awards I believe and can be found here on utube. My favorite part is when they apparently want to go to a commercial break and Jimmy, not even close to finishing, looks at the camera and says something to the effect of, "I got tumors all over my body and they're telling me 30 seconds." heh
I love watching this guy react to american sports, while not having any idea of the implications of each moment. His reactions are so pure yet so entertaining to watch hahaha.
Jimmy V. I’m a UNC alum, but we always liked Valvano. He had a lot of great heart in everything he did. When he passed away the real rivalry between UNC and State died too. Was never the same and the attention turned to UNC and Duke.
I remember watching the game live at a hotel when I was out of town when I was like 13 and I was screaming my ass off and cheering and got a noise complaint lmao
If you get a chance to watch the entire thing, try to watch the “I’m the Luckiest Man Alive” speech by Lou Gehrig. He was the man who brought ALS to the forefront and into public spotlight. Known as the Iron Man of baseball, he was amazingly talented and was a workhorse, never missing a start...until he got sick. He was forced to retire due to ALS and was dying when he made that speech. One of MY top three brilliant moments in sports.
at the 15:06 mark: One of the absolute best moments of my life. I became a Cubs fan after moving to Chicago from Alaska as a kid. I endured half of that 108-year championship drought. How hard was that to do? Well, Luka, take a look at some of their fans' reactions to the Cubs winning the World Series. The emotional release is awe-inspiring and a wonderful gift for the fans that waited sooooo long for "lovable losers" to become hardcore contenders. Up until then it was ALWAYS, "Wait'll next year!" Keep it up...like your reaction vids a lot. Cheers....
The one at 2:17 was John Elway. He was a QB for the Denver Broncos and that clip was in Super Bowl 32. He led the Broncos to 3 Super Bowl before that and the Broncos always got their butts kicked. He was 37 years old and the Broncos finally won a their first Super Bowl. he retired the season after that when the Broncos won their second straight championship.
Excellent video Luka. I like what you said at the end "this video was like a roller coaster." I felt that too. The coach saying you should laugh, think, and cry daily was dying of cancer. Live every moment of your life. You never know how much you have.
Luka is becoming on of my favorite reactors.. So many great moments. That's why when people tell me no I don't like sports I wonder if they have a soul. Breaks all barriers makes us believe in something greater. Just what humans and humanity need.
Lol 2+ months later I’m responding on a random reaction comment, but I’m the person who made the video. I don’t have Crosby’s goal, but I did put the immediate celebration of the goal in the video. I could only put like 2 seconds of footage in there because the Olympics (and for some reason that clip in particular) are really strict on copyright.
Gotta love sports. It's crazy how amazing (gives you goosebumps) it feels when it's your team that pulls off a miracle and how heartbreaking it is to see them be the team that is on the losing end of sports magic.
That speech at the end was Jimmy Vallvano he was terminally ill with cancer at the time of that speech, like he needed help onto the stage he passed away shortly after. You should watch the entire thing if you get the chance just look up Jimmy V espy speech very insperantional.
They didn't flood the field, the band was coming out to play because they thought they were going to win. Half the stadium was already empty. People left the game and found out when they got home the winner wasn't who they thought, lol.
1:22 I’m glad they put this in. This is the Cal/Stanford game from 1982 and I had actually tried to recommend it a few times. The band thought the game was over and stormed the field the celebrate. One of the most unique moments in sports history. Great vid as usual.
you should react to derek jeter career highlights, he had some of the most clutch plays in yankee history, played 20 years and had 5 world series rings all with one team
The part where there is a band on the field is called "The Play". Stanford Cardinals vs.. the California Bears have had a rivalry forever. Stanford had just made one of the best drives in history in a very short time to "win" the game but there was a few seconds left on the clock so they had to kick. The Bears transferred the ball 2-4 times just to get toward the Stanford end zone and the Stanford band had taken the field in contemplation of a win. Watch the whole thing, the best football game ever in my opionion.
I will say, I am impressed that you made it through this video, reacting, because SO MANY of these moments require a TON of context to understand what is happening.
4:03 The "Punch-up In Piestany", 1987 World Junior Championships. Canada and the Soviet Union both ended up being disqualified from the tournament due to the fight, handing the gold medal to Finland. Several players on Team Canada went on to play in the NHL. Here's a 30th Anniversary feature narrated by Brendan Shanahan, the current president of the Toronto Maple Leafs: th-cam.com/video/11jCqshXBNU/w-d-xo.html
2:20 the Willie Mays catch is even more impressive when you know the dimensions of the Polo Grounds he was playing in. I believe it had one of the longest outfields in baseball.
1:20 "The Play" College Football, 1982, Stanford University (White) vs their archrivals Cal Berkeley (blue) Stanford had just scored to take the lead extremely late in their annual game. They had to kick off to Cal and time expired. After a couple of laterals and near tackles, Cal finally got loose. Thinking the game was over, Stanford's extremely obnoxious and sophmoric band came into the field for the post game concert. The Cal runner ran through them for the winning score. Truly an iconic moment in the sport.
1:30 is California and Stanford, California was losing and there was no time left on the clock when Stanford kicked off, and Cal players threw seven (I think) lateral passes. The Stanford Band thought the game was over, and they came out on the field to celebrate, but the play was still going on and Cal scored the winning touchdown with the band on the field. Many consider it the greatest play in college football history.
That was a great video. The guy that did the behind the back hit it with his elbow pass is named Jason Williams. His highlights are insane. He has so many crazy passes. If you want to check out more basketball videos that is a good one.
Game 7 of the 2016 world series was the biggest roller coaster I've ever been through as a sports fan. Lead changes, extra innings, rain delay all to finally end a 108 year winless streak for the cubs
At 1:30 the band came onto the field prematurely and the football (American, college) game was still in progress. The player in blue scored a touch down running in between the members of the band! The catches and touchdowns behind the opposing players' backs in the two football (American) games were phenomenal.
the clip at the start with all the people is simply called "The Play " between two college teams Cal and Stanford. it was the end of the game and the home fans believed the game was over so the school band gets on the field to perform. However the final play is still live and the away team ends up running the ball to the endzone and making a game winning score. The whole play itself or some video about its context is definitely worth a reaction as it is one of the most famous plays in college football
The last man speaking was Jimmy Valvano. He won an improbable National Championship coaching North Carolina State, his greatest achievement as a basketball coach. He was diagnosed with the virulent and rapid glandular cancer that took his life 10 months later. He is best known for the inspirational way he fought the cancer to his last day motivating others with cancer to not give up. Anecdotally, his first year as a college basketball head coach was the 1969-70 academic year at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore during my freshman year there.
11:02 I was at that game dude... absolute madness. My mom and I were one of the few that stayed cause we were down by so much with such little time left. Then Tracy put on one of the most amazing late game performances in NBA history and still easily the best sports moment of my life.
That speech to end the video was from Jimmy valvano, a college basketball coach. He died from cancer two months after that speech. Its one of the most powerful speeches you'll ever hear.
1:34 This was from the Stanford (Red and White) vs California (Blue and Yellow) game in 1982, and the people running on the field was Stanford's band thinking their team had won the game but it wasn't over yet, the Cal receiver went ahead and knocked down that band member to score the winning touchdown
6:34 the story behind this moment is amazing in football lore and history. The Giants, the team in blue, had a 24-3 lead going into half time against the Eagles, white. This game was massively important because it was week 15 of the 17 week football season and these two teams are division rivals, the winner of this game getting into the playoffs. Going into the last quarter of the game the Giants took a whopping 31-10 lead which is very very VERY difficult to come back from in a single quarter, touchdowns being worth 7 points if you make the extra point kick. Essientally the eagles had to score 3 touchdowns in under 12 minutes which again difficult in such a short amount of time. However the Eagles managed to come all the way back and tie it up at 31 which led to that punt. If you want to watch the full story for a future video or just for your own pleasure its called Miracle at the New Medowlands or just Miracle at the Medowlands 2
If you haven't already, would love to see you react to Secretariat's Triple Crown wins. We have three major horse races in America that make up what we refer to as the Triple Crown, meaning one horse has won all three; the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, over a 6 week period. It's incredibly difficult to do with the races so close together. Many horses have won two of them, but only 13 horses in history have won all three. Secretariat was the greatest racehorse ever and set records at all three races in 1973 that still stand today. He had the crazy distinction of running each quarter mile faster than the previous quarter (should start fast and finish slower) and when he died they discovered his heart was more than two times the size of an average thoroughbred horse.
The "oh, the band is out on the field!" is the final play of the 1982 "Big Game" between the University of California and Stanford University (another one of those bitter collegiate rivalries). It was future NFL quarterback legend John Elway's final college game, and he had just led a gutty do-or-die drive (including converting a fourth-and-seventeen deep in the Stanford end of the field) to what appeared to be the winning field goal with just four seconds left on the clock. On the ensuing kickoff, the Cal players in desperation tossed a series of laterals in traffic, and on one of them the pumped-up Stanford band thought that the player was down and the game was over, so they rushed out onto the field without realizing that the play was still alive. Result, one of the craziest finishes in football history, and a flattened trombonist.
I watched both parts hoping to see the Auburn football kick six! So sad it wasn’t included. A video reacting to college football traditions in different parts of America, would be cool. There has to be something out there on it, especially southern football traditions in the SEC. Was a fun video to watch!
The horse race was Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes (the 3rd of the races in the American 'Triple Crown') by 31 lengths in 1973. His time of 2:24 still stands as the American record for 1.5 miles on a dirt track.
Glad to see the cardinals come back in the World Series made the list. I was 15 when that happened and it’s still the craziest moment in baseball history imo. Hometown guy makes up for an earlier error with 2 game winning scores on the teams last pitch. Unreal.
I wish I could explain some of the context in the more obscure college and American sports as you watched it, I think you would appreciate it even more. But a great video and reaction
the guy who let the ball go between his legs was vilified in Boston till they finally won a world series. Bill Bucner and his acceptance back to Boston might be a good video to react to. SB nation deep rewind is a good one
If you like the pass at 11:23 that guy is the highly creative Jason Williams, and there's many more where that came from. th-cam.com/video/f_UphWCvkj4/w-d-xo.html
You should try and follow NCAA basketball this season, "March Madness" is the national tournament starting with 64 college teams eliminating down to 2 for the title. Everyone in the US picks their "brackets" before it starts.
5:20 The single most dominant horse, and horse race in history. And a record that will never be beaten. That is Secretariat winning the Triple Crown of American Horse Racing in 1973. He finished the last race, a distance of 1.5 miles, in a blistering 2 : 24 flat. Breaking the old record by more than 2 seconds. And winning with a lead of 31 lengths breaking the old lead of 25 lengths set in 1943. Truly amazing stuff. 7:45 That play is referred to as the "Beast Quake". The man running the ball called what he did on the field going into "beast mode", giving us the Beast part of the name. The crowd was so loud and boisterous in their reaction to the play that the sound, and the fans jumping up and down actually registered on seismic monitoring equipment, hence the "Quake" part of the play's name. 10:17 Yes that is Michael Phelps. 14:24 "The Catch" That's the 1982 NFC Championship. A trip to Superbowl XVI on the line. Dallas had been a dominant team in the NFC during the 1970's and were favored to win. Bill Walsh coached Joe Montana at QB, DB Ronnie Lott was a rookie, and this play propelled them to the first Superbowl trip, ultimately winning that game too, in San Francisco 49ers history. 15:02 Steve Bartman. That poor man made a mistake that cost the Cubs in the Playoffs. He received death threats, and security had to escort him out of the park that night, for his own safety because everyone else wanted to hurt him for his mistake. Even though he caught the ball, notice how many other fans had their hands out to try and catch it besides him. He was treated unfairly by the other fans. And after, or during, the Cubs winning the World Series in 2016, The team invited him to the park to wash away the bad karma, feelings, etc from this happening. 16:07 Jimmy V. Coach Jim Valvano of the 1983 NCAA Mens National Champions in Basketball NS State. He is giving a speech accepting the Authur Ashe Courage award in 1993 2 month before dying from cancer. in 2007 an award named for him was first awarded. Go watch that full speech, then go watch Stuart Scott's Jimmy V Award speech.
The play with the band on the field, so basically time had expired but the play was still going on cause the ball carrier never went down, and the Nebraska band ran onto the field to celebrate and little did they know Iowa was keeping the play alive until they ran it in for the touchdown. Probably one of the more wild interactions with fans in sports
When you asked about ow they did it with thier toes in football, fun fact actually pro football players do take ballet classes to improve their balance.
I'm sure someone mentioned this, but I'm not scrolling through comments. The clip at 3:51 is Ohio State Head Coach Woody Hayes punching Clemson nose guard Charlie Bauman in the throat after he intercepted an Ohio State pass with about two minutes left in the 1978 Gator Bowl. Even though the game was televised, the announcers did not witness what happened and didn't comment on the situation. Hayes was formally fired the next day. Clemson is 4-1 against OSU with wins in 1978, 2014, 2016, and 2019. OSU beat Clemsob in the College Football Playoff Semi-final Sugar Bowl (2021) and went on to lose the National Championship game to Alabama.
I agree with all of those who are suggesting that you should listen to Jimmy V's speech. He had terminal cancer and IIRC only lived a few months after that speech. But it will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches in American Sports history.
11:57 was known as "the comeback" when the Buffalo Bills (led by Backup Quarterback Frank Reich since Jim Kelly was hurt) came back from a 32 point deficit against the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans led by Quarterback Warren Moon one of the best in the league at the time) Here is some highlights of that game: th-cam.com/video/l6pNpC8kdUs/w-d-xo.html the song of the end of that video is The Bills shout song that is played after every score and win. They still play that song today if you go to Rich Stadium (now New Era Field)
11:18 Wayne Gretzky scored his 802nd career goal, surpassing his childhood idol Gordie Howe to become the NHL's all time leading scorer. Definitely do a reaction video on him. No athletic defined an entire sport like The Great One did.
That hockey clip of Bobby Orr dolphin diving after that stanley cup winning goal is famous, theres a photo of him mid flight, theres a statue of him the same way in Boston.
14:28 is when the Mets win game 6 of the 1986 World Series that forced game 7. The Mets won game 7 as well. They were down to their last out down 2 and rallied to win. I’m a Mets fan and I love watching this play.
You should give NASCAR a look at, literally one of the few sports that wasn't featured in this compilation. Plus like football and baseball, there's plenty of videos to watch of NASCAR. Like crashes, best finishes, and I'm sure most iconic or historic moments.
5:21 And there we go. The greatest moment in horse racing history, from the greatest thoroughbred to ever live. 1973 Belmont Stakes, third race of the Triple Crown, and also the longest race of the Triple Crown at a full mile and a half. He got the lead on the back stretch, and just kept growing his lead. Where most horses would get a bit tired and ease off after coming around the final turn, Secretariat's lead just kept getting wider and wider. At the end, he won the race by an *insane* 31 lengths, and STILL holds the American record for a mile and half. No other horse has touched his 2:24 time in 46 years. After his death at 19 years old, they did an autopsy of him and found that this horse was a mutant of superhero proportions, as his heart was around 22lbs, over twice as large as an average horse's heart. The vet who did the necropsy said, "We just stood there in stunned silence. We couldn't believe it. The heart was perfect. There were no problems with it. It was just this huge engine." That and his extra long stride made him just the perfect horse for the kind of insane speeds he could get up to. So...yeah, big salute to Big Red.
You can hear the commentator screaming “the band is out on the field!” Because the other teams supporters thought the game was over. A classic clip! I’m sure there is a full video about that moment online.
th-cam.com/video/mfebpLfAt8g/w-d-xo.html
heres the full clip at the very least
Known as " the play" you should do full video on it. Most entertaining, weirdest ending to any football game...ever. Cal vs Stanford the play.
In addition to the band being on the field, at the beginning of the play at the other end of the field, the players did a series of lateral passes to keep the play alive.
IIRC, Stanford has in its records a different outcome, showing that they won, because one of the Bears was down before the lateral was made somewhere in that play, and replay (if they'd had it) would have shown that.

(Which is kinda the way football should be, don't you think?)
KTO did a video on it. It's called 'The most Bizarre ending to a game ever.'
“Have a good 2020” Ummmm..... About that
There is it was made my KTO
The fact that there were tons of amazing moments left out just goes to show how freakin amazing sports are

Marshawn Lynch was just pulled out of retirement. TODAY.
Again!
Welp he’s back in Seattle
“Auburn’s gonna won the football game!” gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Bama got screwed in this video;(
I remember watching the game live at a hotel when I was out of town when I was like 13 and I was screaming my ass off and cheering and got a noise complaint lmao
If you get a chance to watch the entire thing, try to watch the “I’m the Luckiest Man Alive” speech by Lou Gehrig. He was the man who brought ALS to the forefront and into public spotlight.
Known as the Iron Man of baseball, he was amazingly talented and was a workhorse, never missing a start...until he got sick. He was forced to retire due to ALS and was dying when he made that speech.
One of MY top three brilliant moments in sports.
There was a brief clip of it in pt. 1
Don’t worry about posting Christmas just have fun with your family, obviously we’d love it tho
16:15 That is the Jimmy V speech. I would highly, highly recommend listening to the full thing at some point. It really puts life in perspective.

Possibly the most dominant performance in sports history
The word you're thinking about for Curry is CLUTCH. Not even a fan of him, but the man is clutch.
The one at 2:17 was John Elway. He was a QB for the Denver Broncos and that clip was in Super Bowl 32. He led the Broncos to 3 Super Bowl before that and the Broncos always got their butts kicked. He was 37 years old and the Broncos finally won a their first Super Bowl. he retired the season after that when the Broncos won their second straight championship.
Look up Jason “White Chocolate” Williams. He’s the guy that passed with his elbow.
Excellent video Luka. I like what you said at the end "this video was like a roller coaster." I felt that too. The coach saying you should laugh, think, and cry daily was dying of cancer. Live every moment of your life. You never know how much you have.
Luka is becoming on of my favorite reactors.. So many great moments. That's why when people tell me no I don't like sports I wonder if they have a soul. Breaks all barriers makes us believe in something greater. Just what humans and humanity need.
The Valvano ESPY speech is up there with the true oratorical greats, like Churchill, Gehrig and Kennedy. No one tops MLK... though.
Lincoln?
I would say Theo Roosevelt also the man got shot in the chest and still calmly walk onto a podium to say an hour long speech
The fact they didn't show the "Golden Goal" (Sidney Crosby's goal to lift Canada over the US in Olympic hockey) and only the celebration is a crime.
Yet they showed CFL highlights in part 1
Lol 2+ months later I’m responding on a random reaction comment, but I’m the person who made the video. I don’t have Crosby’s goal, but I did put the immediate celebration of the goal in the video. I could only put like 2 seconds of footage in there because the Olympics (and for some reason that clip in particular) are really strict on copyright.

thank you for the info mate
In part 1 you have the end of the championship win his team, North Carolina State in red, had in the NCAA basketball tournament.
The clip at the start is when everyone thought the play was over and they lost so they started to flood the feild.
They didn't flood the field, the band was coming out to play because they thought they were going to win. Half the stadium was already empty. People left the game and found out when they got home the winner wasn't who they thought, lol.
Great video. It even had Vince Young against U.S.C. Nice reaction by someone who appreciates more than just one sport. Those were some great clips.

trust me...the older you get the quicker time goes...spend it wisely. happy holidays.
xoxo love from Maryland
That was a great video. The guy that did the behind the back hit it with his elbow pass is named Jason Williams. His highlights are insane. He has so many crazy passes. If you want to check out more basketball videos that is a good one.
Game 7 of the 2016 world series was the biggest roller coaster I've ever been through as a sports fan. Lead changes, extra innings, rain delay all to finally end a 108 year winless streak for the cubs
At 1:30 the band came onto the field prematurely and the football (American, college) game was still in progress. The player in blue scored a touch down running in between the members of the band!
The catches and touchdowns behind the opposing players' backs in the two football (American) games were phenomenal.
Bro these nba plays has a die hard basketball person makes my heart melt o my god
Merry Christmas mate bless you 🙏🏽
hey Lavish....i know you only do the main 4 sports reactions but this one is quite exciting and impressive. "The Best of Men's Gymnastics". Thanks!!
Keep up the good work man. Merry Christmas
hope you had a great christmas i love watching your vids dude
the clip at the start with all the people is simply called "The Play " between two college teams Cal and Stanford. it was the end of the game and the home fans believed the game was over so the school band gets on the field to perform. However the final play is still live and the away team ends up running the ball to the endzone and making a game winning score. The whole play itself or some video about its context is definitely worth a reaction as it is one of the most famous plays in college football
david freese 2011 gets me so hyped. greatest moment in sports
The last man speaking was Jimmy Valvano. He won an improbable National Championship coaching North Carolina State, his greatest achievement as a basketball coach. He was diagnosed with the virulent and rapid glandular cancer that took his life 10 months later. He is best known for the inspirational way he fought the cancer to his last day motivating others with cancer to not give up. Anecdotally, his first year as a college basketball head coach was the 1969-70 academic year at the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore during my freshman year there.
11:02 I was at that game dude... absolute madness. My mom and I were one of the few that stayed cause we were down by so much with such little time left. Then Tracy put on one of the most amazing late game performances in NBA history and still easily the best sports moment of my life.
Best sideline catches football plz I love your vids merry Christmas
That speech to end the video was from Jimmy valvano, a college basketball coach. He died from cancer two months after that speech. Its one of the most powerful speeches you'll ever hear.
1:22 KTO has a video about what happened on this play called 'The Most BIZARRE Ending to a Football Game Ever"
1:34 This was from the Stanford (Red and White) vs California (Blue and Yellow) game in 1982, and the people running on the field was Stanford's band thinking their team had won the game but it wasn't over yet, the Cal receiver went ahead and knocked down that band member to score the winning touchdown
That was great man. Merry Christmas!
6:34 the story behind this moment is amazing in football lore and history. The Giants, the team in blue, had a 24-3 lead going into half time against the Eagles, white. This game was massively important because it was week 15 of the 17 week football season and these two teams are division rivals, the winner of this game getting into the playoffs. Going into the last quarter of the game the Giants took a whopping 31-10 lead which is very very VERY difficult to come back from in a single quarter, touchdowns being worth 7 points if you make the extra point kick. Essientally the eagles had to score 3 touchdowns in under 12 minutes which again difficult in such a short amount of time. However the Eagles managed to come all the way back and tie it up at 31 which led to that punt. If you want to watch the full story for a future video or just for your own pleasure its called Miracle at the New Medowlands or just Miracle at the Medowlands 2
React to "the game that Stephen Curry became the greatest shooter" by CliveNBAParody
If you haven't already, would love to see you react to Secretariat's Triple Crown wins. We have three major horse races in America that make up what we refer to as the Triple Crown, meaning one horse has won all three; the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes, over a 6 week period. It's incredibly difficult to do with the races so close together. Many horses have won two of them, but only 13 horses in history have won all three. Secretariat was the greatest racehorse ever and set records at all three races in 1973 that still stand today. He had the crazy distinction of running each quarter mile faster than the previous quarter (should start fast and finish slower) and when he died they discovered his heart was more than two times the size of an average thoroughbred horse.
The "oh, the band is out on the field!" is the final play of the 1982 "Big Game" between the University of California and Stanford University (another one of those bitter collegiate rivalries). It was future NFL quarterback legend John Elway's final college game, and he had just led a gutty do-or-die drive (including converting a fourth-and-seventeen deep in the Stanford end of the field) to what appeared to be the winning field goal with just four seconds left on the clock.
On the ensuing kickoff, the Cal players in desperation tossed a series of laterals in traffic, and on one of them the pumped-up Stanford band thought that the player was down and the game was over, so they rushed out onto the field without realizing that the play was still alive. Result, one of the craziest finishes in football history, and a flattened trombonist.
Great content. Ur a good dude keep working hard
Love your content keep up the good work
Dude. You need to watch Secretariat’s three Triple Crown races. I cry every time. Incredible races!
I watched both parts hoping to see the Auburn football kick six! So sad it wasn’t included. A video reacting to college football traditions in different parts of America, would be cool. There has to be something out there on it, especially southern football traditions in the SEC. Was a fun video to watch!
You should seriously watch “Miracle in the meadowlands” insane.
Awesome compilation. Wherever you are from or whatever sports you are into...they pretty much have it covered.
Well I take that back. No beer pong.
I love watching this rn for the first time and hes talkin ab how it was almost 2020 n time was flying, little did he kno
The horse race was Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes (the 3rd of the races in the American 'Triple Crown') by 31 lengths in 1973. His time of 2:24 still stands as the American record for 1.5 miles on a dirt track.
Glad to see the cardinals come back in the World Series made the list. I was 15 when that happened and it’s still the craziest moment in baseball history imo. Hometown guy makes up for an earlier error with 2 game winning scores on the teams last pitch. Unreal.
I wish I could explain some of the context in the more obscure college and American sports as you watched it, I think you would appreciate it even more. But a great video and reaction
Bro you need to watch basketball moments haha you were in love with those
the guy who let the ball go between his legs was vilified in Boston till they finally won a world series. Bill Bucner and his acceptance back to Boston might be a good video to react to. SB nation deep rewind is a good one
8:20 as a cardinals fan i remmeber it like it was yesterday
11 in 11
If you like the pass at 11:23 that guy is the highly creative Jason Williams, and there's many more where that came from.

You should try and follow NCAA basketball this season, "March Madness" is the national tournament starting with 64 college teams eliminating down to 2 for the title. Everyone in the US picks their "brackets" before it starts.
5:20 The single most dominant horse, and horse race in history. And a record that will never be beaten. That is Secretariat winning the Triple Crown of American Horse Racing in 1973. He finished the last race, a distance of 1.5 miles, in a blistering 2 : 24 flat. Breaking the old record by more than 2 seconds. And winning with a lead of 31 lengths breaking the old lead of 25 lengths set in 1943. Truly amazing stuff.
7:45 That play is referred to as the "Beast Quake". The man running the ball called what he did on the field going into "beast mode", giving us the Beast part of the name. The crowd was so loud and boisterous in their reaction to the play that the sound, and the fans jumping up and down actually registered on seismic monitoring equipment, hence the "Quake" part of the play's name.
10:17 Yes that is Michael Phelps.
14:24 "The Catch" That's the 1982 NFC Championship. A trip to Superbowl XVI on the line. Dallas had been a dominant team in the NFC during the 1970's and were favored to win. Bill Walsh coached Joe Montana at QB, DB Ronnie Lott was a rookie, and this play propelled them to the first Superbowl trip, ultimately winning that game too, in San Francisco 49ers history.
15:02 Steve Bartman. That poor man made a mistake that cost the Cubs in the Playoffs. He received death threats, and security had to escort him out of the park that night, for his own safety because everyone else wanted to hurt him for his mistake. Even though he caught the ball, notice how many other fans had their hands out to try and catch it besides him. He was treated unfairly by the other fans. And after, or during, the Cubs winning the World Series in 2016, The team invited him to the park to wash away the bad karma, feelings, etc from this happening.
16:07 Jimmy V. Coach Jim Valvano of the 1983 NCAA Mens National Champions in Basketball NS State. He is giving a speech accepting the Authur Ashe Courage award in 1993 2 month before dying from cancer. in 2007 an award named for him was first awarded. Go watch that full speech, then go watch Stuart Scott's Jimmy V Award speech.
The play with the band on the field, so basically time had expired but the play was still going on cause the ball carrier never went down, and the Nebraska band ran onto the field to celebrate and little did they know Iowa was keeping the play alive until they ran it in for the touchdown. Probably one of the more wild interactions with fans in sports
When you asked about ow they did it with thier toes in football, fun fact actually pro football players do take ballet classes to improve their balance.
I'm sure someone mentioned this, but I'm not scrolling through comments. The clip at 3:51 is Ohio State Head Coach Woody Hayes punching Clemson nose guard Charlie Bauman in the throat after he intercepted an Ohio State pass with about two minutes left in the 1978 Gator Bowl. Even though the game was televised, the announcers did not witness what happened and didn't comment on the situation. Hayes was formally fired the next day. Clemson is 4-1 against OSU with wins in 1978, 2014, 2016, and 2019. OSU beat Clemsob in the College Football Playoff Semi-final Sugar Bowl (2021) and went on to lose the National Championship game to Alabama.
The Tracy McGrady last second 3 is insane he score like 5 3 pointers in the last 20 seconds to bring his team back and win
I can tell you’re going to blow up!
Best video best reaction brilliant man!
Loved it. I missed thought Sergio Ramos header in the Champions League final
I agree with all of those who are suggesting that you should listen to Jimmy V's speech. He had terminal cancer and IIRC only lived a few months after that speech. But it will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches in American Sports history.
the clip with the band is by far the most famous play in football history... its so famous it's just called "the Play"
How does this dude seem like such a nice guy lol
11:57 was known as "the comeback" when the Buffalo Bills (led by Backup Quarterback Frank Reich since Jim Kelly was hurt) came back from a 32 point deficit against the Houston Oilers (now the Tennessee Titans led by Quarterback Warren Moon one of the best in the league at the time) Here is some highlights of that game: th-cam.com/video/l6pNpC8kdUs/w-d-xo.html the song of the end of that video is The Bills shout song that is played after every score and win. They still play that song today if you go to Rich Stadium (now New Era Field)
11:18 Wayne Gretzky scored his 802nd career goal, surpassing his childhood idol Gordie Howe to become the NHL's all time leading scorer.
Definitely do a reaction video on him. No athletic defined an entire sport like The Great One did.
That hockey clip of Bobby Orr dolphin diving after that stanley cup winning goal is famous, theres a photo of him mid flight, theres a statue of him the same way in Boston.
14:28 is when the Mets win game 6 of the 1986 World Series that forced game 7. The Mets won game 7 as well. They were down to their last out down 2 and rallied to win. I’m a Mets fan and I love watching this play.
The Stanford Cal game is a classic Luke. If you get a chance I recommend watching it , the ending is that much more impressive.
Happy New Year Mate! Have an awesome year!
You should give NASCAR a look at, literally one of the few sports that wasn't featured in this compilation. Plus like football and baseball, there's plenty of videos to watch of NASCAR. Like crashes, best finishes, and I'm sure most iconic or historic moments.
true true
5:21 And there we go. The greatest moment in horse racing history, from the greatest thoroughbred to ever live. 1973 Belmont Stakes, third race of the Triple Crown, and also the longest race of the Triple Crown at a full mile and a half. He got the lead on the back stretch, and just kept growing his lead. Where most horses would get a bit tired and ease off after coming around the final turn, Secretariat's lead just kept getting wider and wider. At the end, he won the race by an *insane* 31 lengths, and STILL holds the American record for a mile and half. No other horse has touched his 2:24 time in 46 years.
After his death at 19 years old, they did an autopsy of him and found that this horse was a mutant of superhero proportions, as his heart was around 22lbs, over twice as large as an average horse's heart. The vet who did the necropsy said, "We just stood there in stunned silence. We couldn't believe it. The heart was perfect. There were no problems with it. It was just this huge engine." That and his extra long stride made him just the perfect horse for the kind of insane speeds he could get up to.
So...yeah, big salute to Big Red.
th-cam.com/video/V18ui3Rtjz4/w-d-xo.html Just watch him at #2.
