On a football field! In a real game! [] The University of Maine beat James Madison on a two-point conversion in a game back in 2011 on a formation that, unlike the Colts' botched play, was (a) both a legal formation and (b) worked in an overtime win. Credit the Black Bears' Twitter administrator for helping out a Chuck Pagano after his tough night in Indy. Still, even with the teaching moment, it has to hurt to be trolled by a college team, and an FCS one at that. But it's proof positive that there can be a positive result from that strange looking formation, assuming it's run correctly and the players are lined up in the right spot. What the Colts ran was the Buttfumble of punt plays. What the Black Bears executed was a thing of beauty. Hey, Colts fans.
