The Play: Bears Attack the Band

[mstelethatestarossa]

lmao. That was the Stanford band.  I don't think they cared if they were on the field, but I guess they do now.

[olivieru]

Oh, you just played rugby, for once...

[lol88133]

Gus Johnson got nothin' on Joe Starkey!

[MyPlaya1996]

This announcer should be on Madden

[mikero08]

And he dodged, what, 50 or 60 would be tacklers?

[FXmattFX]

Every time I hear American Pie I need to come to YouTube and watch this. "The players tried to take the field but the marching baaand refused to yield."

[oshawottmijumaru12]

The Gus Johnson of the 80s

[KateBushMyLove]

"And everybody is roaming around ON THE FIIELD, AND THE BEARS!! THE BEARS!! HAVE WON!! THE BEARS HAVE WON!!! OH MY GOD!!!!

[mkerostk]

Best play in sports history because the band broke the 4th wall.

[DrProfSlugger]

What kind of band director tells the band to go onto the field when the players are still running around? Damn dumbasses

[jack52594]

OHHH MY GOD THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING...

[KateBushMyLove]

@jack52594 LMFAO

[mfcobb1]

EL WAY hates this play.

[SlushBuster]

what the hell was the band doing there!?

[drbarbarabaker]

Joe Starkey is the announcer.

[hennessy323]

There is a reason Bulls hate the color red.

[TheLordHighXcutioner]

Knee was down.

[OfficialPatchwork]

brings tears to my eyes lol.

[ninjanerd98]

Hey football players! Get off of the band field!

[WarPigCOD]

@ninjanerd98 Everyone hates the band

[hsmnwnner]

god i hate that band

[Milkdude007]

Both sports fans and band geeks can appreciate how epic this moment is. It made history for both.

[carsontheysa1]

lol :26

[CaptainAlias]

The only reason I thought this was interesting was the band on the field.

[gshull25]

Stanford is the pinnacle of butthurt over this. Writing fake articles the next day about how the score didn't count, changing the score on the Stanford axe, Elway crying about how it ruined his college career. LoLz what a bunch of whiney babies....

[rc49ers53]

@gshull25 And our football program is still ten times better than Kal will ever be.

[BFerriper23]

"I had the ball, i ran into that band member i didnt give a rats ass i was too excited!"

[TheShaydub]

Best play i ever seen

[PeterNorthJr]

he ran over the tamborine man!!!

[GamesNstuffs]

@PeterNorthJr lol

[LanreAK]

dont they have to kick the extra point...?

[highflyingdwarf]

This...is...RUGBY!!!

[ModernW4rf3re]

@highflyingdwarf this isn´t rugby ^^ rugby is without Helmet and so on :)

[highflyingdwarf]

@ModernW4rf3re Sarcasm hun

[ModernW4rf3re]

@highflyingdwarf ok but not everyone know this is football it gives more than 800 people in my school who think rugby is football but whatever...

[TheArmoredPillow]

whoa o.O amazing

[Theonlyuberpickle]

Joe Buck: And there seems to be a disturbance. The refs confer and call a touchdown. Thank you for watching, this game was brought to you by pepsi, the soda that quenches your thirst.

[crazyboiT]

I didn't know this was soccer

[ModernW4rf3re]

@crazyboiT soccer sucks american football best

[MikeCastro9]

He trucked the hell out of that band kid

[ThePetalumadeadhead]

go BEARS!

[Bpalmer318]

I love how not one person cares about the kid that got slammed lol "THE BEARS WON, THE BEARS WON!!!!" and also, in more tragic news a band member was killed from a blow to the head....

[kay9ine1]

@Bpalmer318 thats what happens when they go onto the field for no reason

[TheSkarpys]

Now imagine Gus Johnson calling this...

[mytimton]

@TheSkarpys Gus would have a Stroke

[TheSwaggydawg]

0:38-0:40 "Everybody's milling around on the FIELD!!!!"

[EPR89]

I should feel bad for that guy who gets nailed at the end...

But I can't.

[saxman5313]

@EPR89

DAMN! He was a sax player. smh

[whomeyoupoop]

awesome... the band gets owned hahah yes

[89deason]

they still try to debunk this saying that the player was down and the ball is dead

[GiveADogABohnel5]

@89deason One of those great sports controversies that I honestly think has yet to be absolutely solved

[JK420Y]

damn it was kinda hard to keep track of the ball lol

[iTzKarTooN]

The guy with the ball at 00:12 and 00:22 are smart enough to jump into the opposing team then pass the ball back so as to take them out.

Very smart.

[HaulinHearse]

if Joe Buck was doing the game...."The band is on the field? What a Disgusting Ace?"

[MisterOhashi]

@HaulinHearse Nah...if Joe Buck was announcing, hed be talking about what some East Coast college was doing and how they would beat both these teams.

[GiveADogABohnel5]

@MisterOhashi Thank you! Joe Buck is a terrible commentator, and yet he does the World Series AND Super Bowl. How????????

[califinn]

Yes, they also play rugby at Cal.

[jackattackrox]

if Joe Buck was commentating: "It appears the band is on the field...oh what do ya know, the Bears win."

[ammonbradford92]

Press 8

[Diarkia124]

Too bad Stanford won yesterday :(

[MrsTutvids]

@Diarkia124 Shit they did? Looks like im not getting that extra credit Mr. Castle assigned us -.-'''

[DJLILM09]

the commentators was funny lmao 

[NFLization]

What makes the band think they could just barge onto field during a kickoff? If I were the returner, I'd truck as many band members as possible before I'd reach the end zone.

[FUtube3000]

this is how we dealt with furds last great #1 pick quarterback

[dgriffin707]

OH WAT A BANANZA!!!!! RIP STARKY. 49ers and cal faithful!

[electronicguy19]

I like Stanford but I just cant help but laugh

[Contakum]

The greatest finish in SPORTS history !

[pinkyrusty007]

Only in college football.

[Carinak09]

I'm sorry to learn that Stanford's uniforms have not changed in the last, goodness, 30 years?

[ROFLPH3NOIX]

stanford should have won....but the band is crazy

[motleyhar]

Such an awesome play. I really hate that band...

[geoffybellofiore]

@motleyhar Uhhh best band eva

[Tarzoetube]

why don't they do those plays. Rugby style

[nigga851]

Not only this was a great play. But the commentators really pumped me up lol.

[umhill44]

Was Jimmy Stewart calling this game?

[wgfunk11]

@umhill44 no it's Joe Starkey

[Cryofax]

@umhill44 LMAO I was just going to post that. Glad to see I'm not alone. MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU OLD BUILDING AND LOAN!!!! CAL WINS!!!! CAL WINS!!!!

[wordsmith681]

@umhill44 I was just thinking same thing!!!! Thought I was wathcing Its a Wonderful Life Merry Christmas Everybody!!!!!!!

[drclaw411]

lol jocks hate the band because jocks get laid and band dudes dont. but jocks bang band chicks if they arent fat.

[FightinRebel14]

Lol, I remember after this, the trombone player was on Johnny Carson and a couple talk shows.

[shsu76]

5 laterals...?? Ho Hum.....so boring..... how bout 15 laterals..!!! check out Trinity University vs Milsaps in 2007....the "Miracle in Mississippi"...

[MisterOhashi]

@shsu76 but the question is, was the band on the field?

[BassR1012]

There must be 85 Stanford fans that watched this.

[GamingTvx1]

Lmao the announcer at :40 is going nuts

[metru2222]

was it the stanford band out there? or the bears? cos if it was stanford then they fucked up, but if the bears band was out then it aint legit

[makaB2013]

As amazing as this play is it never should have counted. I'd be pissed if I was stanford

[rizzbag]

every locker in that school must have been filled

[planetboy13]

okay like its a great play, but dont get too high on your horse, they overturned this play Oskie fans

[AdventuresWithKevin]

@planetboy13 It's the greatest football play i've ever seen, probably not skill wise obviously but the amazement of the events that occured.

[AndyHogan14]

@planetboy13 Uhhhh . . . no? The final score of the 1982 Big Game was 25-20 in favor of California. Stanfurd fans REALLY need to get over it.

[itstristanyo]

@planetboy13 the only people that overturned this are Stanford publications. QQ more

[AWESOMEvance]

The football players always hav to screw with the band, so unfair... >:(

[pasguato77]

arguably the best endzone dance ever.

[Captain12Kirk6]

Well, all those band member got their ass kicked after this game

[MegaDannyVegas]

Still #1.... What extra point???

[MegaDannyVegas]

Still #1

[bloom614]

y was the band on the field in the first place???

[Captain12Kirk6]

@bloom614 The band probably thought the game over when the clock runs out, not when the play is over haha

[malph182]

@Captain12Kirk6

It wasn't just the band who stormed the field, but Stanford players too. They all fucked up.

[Avatempest]

usc384 - IF the ref's had called him down it still wouldn't have ended the game as penalty flags had already been thrown for illegal participation on Stanford. The least Cal would have gotten was an untimed down, and possibly even been awarded a touchdown (permissible under collage football rules as a penalty for illegal participation). Indeed the ref, while being interviewed at a later time, stated that would have been his call.

[guypenclip]

and quicly the football game turned into a rugby game

[IamHeisenberg]

@guypenclip True, it's a great rugby play.

[anunciosgratis00]

Incredible

[wwehalomixer]

Poor Floutist

[jeff4bucks]

the 84 dislikes must be Stanford fans

[srosenfeld828]

"'Cuz the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield..." Don Mclean, American Pie, 1970.

PROPHECY?

[BanjoStory140]

@srosenfeld828

Except that the it's backwards...

[jermaine550]

If it wasn't for the band Stanford would have been able to make the tackle before they reached the end zone.

[wolverinefangowings]

The Players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield.....

I know the song doesnt refer to this, but it still fits

[greatestever23100]

why is stan van gundy commentating a football game?

[CenterEntertainment]

commentator orgasm much?

[geckoisgiko]

stupid marching band

[awesomeness441000]

ATTACK DA TUBA GUY

[nightmaredust911]

wtf is the band doing on the field? go die?

[sparkreno19]

maybe just my opinion, but i don't think this would half as memorable if the band wasn't on the field, just one of those things i guess

[slimjimmy149]

@sparkreno19 I think "half as memorable" is a bit much. It IS a rivalry game that ended with one of the most improbably plays you could ever imagine. I think the band on the field adds uniqueness to the event, not to the drama.

[forthelittleguy69]

@ 00:39 Nigga dropped his flute

[sparkreno19]

@forthelittleguy69 trombone actually...its now in the college football hall of fame

[RamsFanSince1983]

this is the best ending to a game EVER...

[madscotsman79cs]

sorry I missed it, who won?

[porjaymaspazzatron]

I love how he decks the one band kid in the endzone. Just destroys him

[spbadboyz]

the commentators sound high off their ass at the end

[mynameisbaldwin]

@itboymustdie87 Didnt mean for it to be degrading to people in marching band.

[Sicarius125]

Watching this makes me feel good about being a freshman in Cal

[B2B76]

And also almost no one remembers that this was John Elways last game for Stanford, he would be the #1 pick in April of 83.

[B2B76]

Play by Play is amazing, classic..."The Bears have wonnnnnnn!!!"

[MegaWallace26]

What a puberty voice

[drummerboyfromspace]

This announcer sounds like a lunatic lol...not that I blame him...

[mynameisbaldwin]

0:37 band geek gets decked. :D

[itboymustdie87]

@mynameisbaldwin fuck you

[Nick1995Burner]

the poor 84 members of the band:'(

[dandydon777]

There have been other great finishes in the history of college football but NOTHING comes even close to this.

[MrBigrobmjca3]

The trombone is now on display in the College Football Hall of Fame.

[usc384]

to everyone who says his knee was down and that its not fair. you call the band storming the field FAIR??

Stanford fans are the only people who aren't glad this play exist.

[bcorn8]

@usc384 dumbass if it werent for the idiot refs not calling him down than no one would have cared if the band stormed the field. its not like that gave stanford an advantage. im not a stanford fan and im sure as hell glad this play exists. but dont try to justify the refs mistakes

[21ollej]

@bcorn8 umad?

[robliano]

@usc384 The band comes on the field AFTER the knee was allegedly down, therefore your point is irrelevant.

[usc384]

@robliano im not saying that. i mean that his knee WAS actually down but the band shoudve stayed put therefore its not the refs, Cal or Stanford's fault that they lost, its the BAND that lost.

[calfan100]

84 stanford fans still bitching almost 30 years later. wow

[TennesseeVols1111]

Stanford guy: noooo!!! Cal player: bitch get outta my way!

[dssin]

THE BEARS THE BEARS HAVE WON! gets me everytime LOL!

[LedellzProductionz]

Greatest play in FOOTBALL History

[Willsturd]

lol the commentator almost lost his voice!!!

[TheMultimediaproject]

shows how big of dicks football players are, at least help the guy up afterwards..

[hihihippl]

@TheMultimediaproject They stormed the field before the play was even over, what if one of those dumbasses had ended up fucking up the run-back? They shouldn't have been on the field, if anything it shows how big of dicks stanford's band is. Arrogant motherfuckers.

[djob2676]

@hihihippl If the band prevented him from getting into the end zone, I assume that would have been a penalty against Stanford and Cal would have been given a play from scrimmage with :00 on the clock and well within FG range OR, if they judged the TD to be obvious and imminent, they could have just awarded the TD.

[thegangof4our]

@hihihippl Arrogant motherf_____s? Because they all have good jobs now and you're pumping gas? Poor boy.

[hihihippl]

@thegangof4our Because having a good job doesn't make you an arrogant motherfucker? Fucking idiot.

[thegangof4our]

@hihihippl What a pleasant reply! I'll see you at the gas station/

[hihihippl]

@thegangof4our Yeah you will, when i'm filling up my tank and you're behind the register. Cuz really, who pumps gas anymore, this isn't the 40's

[WhoScopes]

lololol he just trucks the guy in the band and doesnt give a fuck

[BluesKindaGuy]

Everyone's dissin on the flute player

[ImacCheese]

The band must have been hated after that!

[ColbyFoote]

@ImacCheese Dude, everybody hates the stanford band. I'm an Oregon student, and when we were tailgating for the game this year in Eugene a stanford band member flipped over our beerpong table. They're like an army of douches, ready to strike.

[RedSandStudios]

@ColbyFoote That's shitty, man. I was in the WSU band last year, and your schools band came to play at our stadium. Everyone got along pretty well.

[metru2222]

the bears just played some rugby

[heatmits404]

commentator lost his mind love it

[turminater85]

this is messed lol



[voondebayosh]

84 people KNOW his knee was down.

[Weeds2630]

Why are 6 ppl attempting the tackle (0:14). Where's the discipline?

[baraxor]

@brianr09

Some of the band members thought they heard a referee's whistle (signaling the end of play and game) about the same time it looked like the Cal player was being tackled at midfield...they ran out onto the field, and the rest of the Stanford band followed in a stampede.

[drgonzo1542]

Best part is the double axe handle delivered to the tromboner player. Booooom

[IVlattttt]

84 people had their tubas broken

[xKi113RxPUMAx]

EPIC BAND FAIL

[caldude3141]

Ha, I like how the dislike color is red...it all makes sense

[manflirt]

Now this is what Youtube is for. Made me laugh!

[DjDvad]

0:39 the announcers voice

[TheOrangeRoad]

'Cause the players tried to take the field, The marching band refused to yield.

[munnyman444]

@TheOrangeRoad get fucked you indie cunt
