<*> I am irresistibly reminded of the 2009 Grey Cup game. This was
played in Winnipeg, but that was close enough to Regina that the
Saskatchewan Roughriders had a large contingent of their fans present,
or as they liked to call their home crowd, "the 13th man".
With 5 seconds remaining, the score was Saskatchewan 27, Montreal 25,
with Montreal in possession at about the Saskatchewan 35-yard line.
So obviously Montreal would attempt a field goal to win. This was
an iffy proposition, given that their kicking performance in the
game had been erratic. But the thing is that since Saskatchewan
was leading by 2 points, they could concede a single as the clock
ran out, and still win.
So Saskatchewan made the unusual decision *not* to put any kick
receivers in the end zone. They played all 12 men up close against
the Montreal line, hoping to block or otherwise perturb the kicker.
Whether they did perturn him or not, the kick missed the goalposts.
And as it turned out, Montreal didn't even score a single -- the one
Saskatchewan kick receiver in the end zone was able to run the ball
back across the goal line, and 27-25 was the final score.
Until the officials called the penalty for too many men on the field.
What had happened was, one of the usual kick receivers had suddenly
realized that Saskatechewan didn't have any kick receivers on the
field, and taken his usual position on his own initiative.
So Montreal was allowed one more play with no time on the clock,
this time scrimmaging at about the 25-yard line. And from that
position, they *did* kick the field goal and won 28-27.
(Last year Saskatchewan got the "13th man" home advantage for real,
playing the Grey Cup game in their actual home stadium. And they
beat Hamilton 45-23.)
<**> It was 7 until about 1920, with the different leagues changing
at different times. Instead of left and right defensemen, they had
