Strangest item at a football game

[South Texas]

A oppossum crossing the field at Bryan during a playoff game

[AZTiger]

Streaker Katy vs. Mayde Creek 1997 (so I heard, I was in the locker room)

[dragons08]

'superman' at the denton ryan game in 04 haha

kid dressed in a superman costum, ran onto field, with a sign advertising for his band hahaha it was hillarious, i think they have pics on the website

[YuccaRoot]

Streaker at the A&M Consol v. Bryan game...Kyle Field.

[garlandowl08]

There was a streaker at a Garland game this year, but they wore sorts so it wasn't that good...no one even cared and no cops chased after him...it was kind of lame.

Of course, my favorite thing is the Super Owls representin'!

[Tigerjag]

Streaker Katy vs. Mayde Creek 1997 (so I heard, I was in the locker room)

Better yet, he was a spur-of-the-moment streaker with no getaway plan or cover up plan after the deed was done!

[dragonsdaddy]

i can't believe that with the furor caused by one cowboy-like moron with a dragon flag at a state title game, no one has brought it up.

[Sicemhorns09]

[blueraiders11]

Our own students brought these huge white flags to our game vs. Trinity and waved it every time Trinity scored... along with wearing shirts that said things amongst the lines of "There's no hope", "Give up now", "200-0" and a shirt that had the rundowns of game results the past 8 years, and then had "2005: Forfeit at Halftime".

a bunch of *** holes... they should have gone to the other side where they would have been appreciated.

Smoke bombs set off in 1982 at Texas Stadium by Trinity students. The first one was a red smoke bomb set off during Shootout 1 during the district game between Trinity and LD Bell. The second bomb was white and was set off during a playoff game (can't remember opponent - could have been Odessa Permian).

[Miss Kitty]

I didn't forget about the cowboy dude and the flag but I thought it best not to bring it up.

Wait....so you enjoy streakers? :eek:

Have you seen the Golf streakers with the "19th hole" :D

[Reaganrattler07]

Have you seen the Golf streakers with the "19th hole" :D

Do I wanna ask you to explain? :eek:

[Slim-Rob]

Do I wanna ask you to explain? :eek:

On their back they have the words "The 19th Hole" with an arrow pointed down....

[Reaganrattler07]

Lol. First and only time (to date) that I saw a "streaker" was at a Mac playoff game in the alte 90's....and he had pants on (but were pretty tight) and he had blue paint all over him....so it wasn't all that bad. But security was chasing him cause he got down onto the track.

How would these students have felt if yall would have pulled off the upset somehow. What woudl they do in that situation.

[BigtimeO-line]

The strangest thing i saw at a football game was in the middle of nowhere at a 3A game between Stafford and Needville in Needville, TX... i saw these HUGE "flying cockroaches" attacking a bird.... don't know if they got the bird, but if they did... poor bird...

don't know me and my friends was focusin in on that, i guess the game was just boring... but it was captivating, like watching lions hunting gazelles on the discovery channel..... :D

[Tigerjag]

Big blow-up helmet things....

[dragons08]

Big blow-up helmet things....
come on man..that thing is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! :D

[Firebird]

A Progresso High (Home of the Red Ants-- 3a) game had to be stopped because tarantualas invaded the visiting team's bench.

[Tigerjag]

come on man..that thing is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! :D

I knew you would think you had the only one in existence. :rolleyes:
Really, it's not always all about slc. Shocking, I know. http://baylorfans.com/ubb/supereek.gif

Oh my! That sounds like a grade C horror movie! Too funny! Maybe not to the visitors... Did the home team plant them???

dude what hte heck? i didnt mean to imply SLC was the only one that had it..why you taking out your hate on slc on me? what did i do..ah nothing, im on your katy board, have i said one bad thing about katy? no....have i bragged about carroll? no

so if your going to throw out trash talking, do it to the correct people

[Firebird]

No, the home team didn't plant them. It just happened. The event won a Texas Monthly Bum Steer award. Progresso is just the type of place where a tarantula plauge isn't beyond the scope of reality.

Real Hawks flying over head during home football games at Hebron Hawk stadium.

[CLFalcon2006]

I believe at this years Creek-Brook?? game, Creek had a streaker who went fully nude onto the field during halftime. He avoided the cops for a good 5 minutes and they had to use tasers to bring him down. They cuffed him and tried to take him away but he broke free and was tackled by another cop as he was trying to get out of the stadium. Cops then started to beat the s**t out of him with their clubs.

I remember 3 things at Klein stadium --Woodlands visitor --different years / different home teams ( dont remember which Klein schools involved ) --all involving bad weather

1. Strong wind storm came up during game --- blew a goal post to the side --almost touching ground --- coaches , Klein maintainence people , scratching their heads about what to do ----- Woodlands trainer ( Larry Deiderker ) calmly walks to goal post without saying anything --takes a crutch & pushes goal post back into place , walks back to bench --never said a word to anybody

2. Rain storm --Woodlands leading by less than a TD--less than minute to play -- Home team running back gets ball --raining so hard no one in stands (the few that were left ) or any player on field could even see the back --- some how a Woodlands player saw SOMETHIN go past him and took off in the same direction --officials say he tackled player , caused fumble --I dont know how refs saw all that -- I couldnt see my hand in front of my face

3. Another rain storm --rain stopped before game but grass field was a mud puddle -- Woodlands beat Klein Forest by a bunch --in 4th qtr several replacements in for TWH --one kid at corner --dont think he had palyed all year --his uni was snow white clean --pass came his way -- all he had to do was take one step to intercept --sure enough he slipped in mud -- fell flat on his back --- ball bounced off his helmet -- his clean white uni was covered in mud -- his only play on the game

Swarms of crickets at Williams Stadium in Garland. Unbelievable!!

[ktCarl]

i can't believe that with the furor caused by one cowboy-like moron with a dragon flag at a state title game, no one has brought it up.

I am sooooooo over that incident and the loss in the Final. This is a new season. Let's have some FUN!!

Back in 2000 Lufkin was playing Tyler Lee at Abe Martin in the rain and a mother skunk with two babies came out from under the stadium and walked on to the side of the track, but never made it on to the field. Everyone in that area cleared out. Finally about 10 minutes later, the skunk and her babies went back under the stadium. The game never missed a beat.

The babies probably saw all those purple uniforms and went ..Daddy?.....:D

One game this year at Judson there were thousands of crickets on the field. They were jumping everywhere. I forget what game it was though....

[DiamondJ2]

those weren't crickets, but Rattlers jumping around looking for their fumbles.

Topped only by the blowup doll that the student section was popping up in the air like a beach ball circa 1998.

This was not a high school game but the Independence Bowl when LSU played Notre Dame, snowing and the stadium was packed and then here he came, a streaker that had moves like a pro running back. They couldn't catch him, it took about 8-10 police to corral him in the endzone....

Second... I am an official and when I first started I was calling a game at a 1A school (Apple Springs) and a deer ran onto the field. That was funny enough except some of the dads in the stands ran to their trucks and got their rifles and were going to shoot it. Honest! Even the other team was laughing and those guys rushing out of the stands...

Third... a family of skunks came onto the a field at a 3A game (around the Longview area) and that stadium got very quiet until they left peacefully.... :cool:

At Rhodes Stadium during the 04 season, we were standing in the spirit line and noticed what looked like loooooong spiderwebs streaming from the lights. They were huge! It turned out that it was some kind of migrating moth coming through Katy and those were eggs. The 05 season was too hot for them and they didn't stop there this year.

At Judson it has to be those boneheaded "Rocketman" and "Rocketgirl" they must go, it is totally lame.

OMG YES. Rocketman is cool, but Rocketgirl? Looks like rocketman with a skirt and long hair......but Rocketman is staying. He has been there forever and is part of the tradition.

Strangest thing was when Rocketman out danced the Northshore Mustang mascot. They had a dance off before the game started.

Yes, it was when the team was in the locker room, before the break-thru.

[Slim-Rob]

I was there but I only remember the game. I was 7.....

I wish they would get rid of the friendship offering before the game between the teams.

Oooooo, I remember those too. You are right AZ they were creepy. I didn't ever know they weren't spider webs. But I am glad. I was kind of weirded out thinking we had a spider that big in Katy.
