SOUND EFFECTS MAKE FOOTBALL BETTER

by Orson on Dec 10, 2007 12:56 PM EST

This highlight comes from the "Mo Hall Classic," whatever that is, and is notable because yes, it contains a stellar crackback block, the move where an offensive football player split out away from the play runs back in towards the snap to block a defensive player. Sometimes, on crackback blocks, the defender has no idea what the hell's coming and takes a neck-snapping

"Sometimes," as in this clip.

So football terminology aside, the clip pwnz because they added the classic punching noise to the hit, not once, but twice, showing the play in sepia tones and replaying the gag. This stands as a superb example of Stranko Montana's one and only rule of comedy: if it's funny once, it's funny every time. Now, excuse us while we slip on a banana peel on a midget's shoulders in a trenchcoat that covers us both on the way out the door, so that we actually look like one very tall man.

Not sure what the Mo Hall Classic is, but FYI, Maurice (Mo) Hall is the former Buckeye running back who scored the winning touchdown against Michigan in 2002. A product of Brookhaven (Columbus) High School, Hall used to gash my high school’s defense for 200+ yards every time we played them.

Would have been better if they had included the Wilhelm scream instead. It would be in good company.

what kind of odds can i get that the person who laid that block is also the producer of the video??

Were those high school kids? Almost looked like middle school or younger.

See who to contact at the end? “Dastardly Skillz”.

Someone’s been hittin’ da thesaurus! What, what!!

Technically that guy “peeled back”. A crackback is when a receiver blocks from the wide out or slot onto an unsuspecting linebacker, safety, or nickel as the play comes toward him.

Anyone call that number yet?

I’m thinking about sneaking into an empty cube and calling Mr. Skillz

Man, even the high school teams in Columbus, Ohio are slow…
Southern HS teams are much faster…

SEC v B10 rants to begin in 3,2,1…

The Southern football fans have been commenting on this already for several minutes.

It is just too fast for others to see.

Tell that No. 39 to get his arms around the QB and wrap up. What the hell kind of a tackle was that?

SUPER CRACKBACK! (filmed in “D.Skillzcam”). This kind of visual art rivals that of the greats like Sophie Calle and Gregory Shepard. Truly inspirational.

But… but… if it’s the 1st Mo Hall, can it really be a classic? Even with the soundtrack?

Mo Hall is in regards to good ol’ No. 28, former Buckeye RB Maurice Hall.

Maurice Hall was part of the stupidest play I have ever seen in High School football. I was at St. Francis DeSales (Columbus) at the time and we played Brookhaven in the 2000 playoffs. Brookhaven had the ball in the red zone wuth the top RB recruit in the nation. Dumb bastards call a HB pass and he throws a pick, ending the game and giving the win to the good guys.
