Gridiron Glory

I can now say that I have been party to the greatest video football game of all time.

For those you not in the know, NCAA Football 2005 has a Mascot Game option in which all players are replaced by the bulky team mascots. I played as the University of Florida mascot Albert the Gator and my brother chose Oklahoma State's Pistol Pete.

Team Pete jumped out to an early lead but Team Albert used its superior passing game to take a 23-22 lead at half time. With 2 minutes left in the game Team Albert had a an impressive 39-22 lead. But Team Pete overcame the odds and scored two touch downs and a two point conversion in the next minute. Trailing by two with 30 seconds to Team Pete proceeded to march down the field and nail a game winning 37 yard field goal as time expired. A mass of Pistol Petes rushed the field while and the Alberts shook their heads in despair.
