What you’re about to watch happened (allegedly) during a football game between two Kansas high schools — Dodge City and Garden City. Garden City center Mitch Morris went for a close snap instead of a shotgun snap and lobbed the ball high into the air, allowing Dodge City wide receiver and defensive back Immanuel Galloway to skirt the line, catch it on the way down and run it across an open field for an easy touchdown. It’s amazingly rare and hilarious, and should be seen.

The reason I say “allegedly” is because of a horrible lesson I learned last week when a clip of an unidentified high school player front flipping over his defender “went viral” and was actually an undercover AT&T commercial. The way new media works, I’m afraid to post ANYTHING. If Yao Ming goes golfing and his swing looks bad, there’s a 40% chance he’s doing it for Verizon. It’s terrible. So please watch and enjoy the clip, but keep in mind that a cell phone company or wireless carrier could’ve funded two phony “Kansas” high schools (how are we supposed to fact check that?), orchestrated an entire football game and relied on the best clips to get it spread around by jerks like me.

Also, stick to the stuff immediately after the 2:13 mark, because the rest of the video is full of the worst music. The worst licensed music.

While most of the country was undoubtedly celebrating UCF’s victory over Memphis to capture the CUSA East title, Oklahoma State was playing to move one step closer to the school’s first-ever Big 12 championship. Unfortunately, the Cowboys had to get through Oklahoma first and that didn’t work out well in the end. The Sooners won a 47-41 slugfest, as both teams traded late touchdowns for an exciting finish, but the Cowboys’ title hopes are dashed as the Sooners moved to No. 9 in the BCS rankings and will play No. 13 Nebraska for the conference title on Saturday.

OK St. played valiantly, but ultimately a loss is a loss is a loss, so they don’t have much to be happy about, except for what will possibly be remembered as the play of the year in FBS college football this season. With 5:26 left in the second quarter and his Cowboys trailing by 11, Brodrick Brown fooled the cameras when he tipped an overthrown pass by Oklahoma QB Landry Jones into the waiting hands of Shaun Lewis for the interception. Enjoy Brown’s perfect form and execution now before this play is ruined by 30,000 frat boys trying to pull off similar plays in intramural flag football games next year.

After the jump you can relive Brown’s awesome interception, as well as a collection of almost-as-impressive interceptions (feel free to remind me which famous interceptions that I egregiously omitted)…
