Kickoff into 40-mph wind travels backward 12 yards - Prep Rally - High School - Yahoo! Sports

LMFAO

The video you see above, courtesy of Farmington (Minn.) High School and the Farmington Independent, comes from a Section 1AAAAA playoff game on Tuesday night between Farmington and Lakeville North (Minn.) High School. Lakeville North cruised to a 39-14 victory in the game, but the contest was more notable for being played in conditions that included gusts of wind that reached 40 mph. The kickoff above was the most glaring example of the wind's distortion on the game, as a strong boot from Lakeville North's kicker only got the ball 12 yards behind the original line of scrimmage.

That was probably one hell of a football game!

Those were both too funny. Can't control the wind, that's for sure.
