This is great:
"His 1993 team went 6-3-2, and only a stunning 36-33 loss to Central Michigan in the finale of the 1994 season prevented Blackney from taking the Falcons to a third bowl in four seasons and winning a third MAC crown. In that game, a circumferentially challenged Central Michigan punter named Craig Fischer was able to rumble and slog his way 73 yards for a surreal game-winning touchdown on a fake punt, a score that cost the Falcons the MAC championship, and, Blackney suspected, much more."
