With my Giants having done their part to ensure that the NFL never catches on in Europe, here's a college football play that ought to appeal to the rugby fans out there. Trinity vs. Millsaps, two seconds to play, Trinity needs a touchdown to win, and has the ball on their own 39:
All it needed was a band out on the field (look below the fold, if you don't get that reference, or the title.).

Hey! That's my alma mater. Go Tigers!
I should note that while I was there, we won all of 7 games in four years. Some students wondered why we bothered fielding a team after they went 0-8 in my junior year. A few years and a new coach later, they've become a Div III powerhouse, finishing as national runnersup in 2002. Needless to say, nothing this exciting happened while I was there.

Millsaps can look on the bright side and call themselves the Stanford of Division III football.
