The Cortaca Jug is a yearly football game in the Finger Lakes region of New York that dates back to 1959 between DIII rivals the Cortland Red Dragons and Ithaca Bombers. The game has a loyal following amongst residents of the two towns as well as alumni from both schools. Fans have also been known to get a bit rowdy at times, such as 2013 when students from Cortland celebrated their team’s win with perfectly normal college shenanigans.
There was no off-field drama to report following this year’s game, but it did have one of the great finishes to a football game you’re likely to see this year.
Nothing like a busted play that ends up with a better result than you could have hoped. I bet Tony Romo would be jealous.
