The best radio call of all time - for the best comeback that almost was

[BigJay]

Something made me think about this priceless radio call in a 1994 playoff game between Tyler John Tyler (Earl Campbell went here) and Plano East.

Two Texas high school football powerhouses back in the day.

Plano East trailed 44-17 with just over three minutes left. Came all the way back to take the lead shockingly. But ultimately lost in heartbreaking fashion.

The real story is the radio call.

Even won an ESPY the next year
