My brother broke his foot jumping off a couch in celebration of the last Beaver touchdown and then had to watch the arch-rival Ducks come back to win.
Thats funny because I was pissed off at OSU scoring too early and giving the ball back to Oregon. Never any doubt Mariota and Oregon would score a TD with 1:38 to work with. As it turned out they only needed about a minute.

The worst part was that OSU had done a great job milking the clock up until the final play. And the TD came on first down immediately after a timeout. Riley should have told all his players during the TO to go down inside the 5 if they broke loose.

My favorite Dusty thing is how before game 7 - while the entire city, media, and some of the players were freaking out - he decided his troops needed a MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH. So he brought in someone whose name escapes me that gave a 20 minute lecture about how haunted he's been since he choked away whatever it was he choked away and how much worse his life has been because of it. So naturally after getting scared to **** they instantly give up 3 runs.





As for the thread, I'd change the Canes/Buckeye championship game. Sigh.

Is this because you are a Browns fan or because you hate Tom Brady?

I don't remember the exact year, but didn't Sacramento get absolutely bent over and screwed by the refs in the playoffs one year? It was so blatant, just awful.

Also, I was thinking of this thread and thought UW fans must really hate KENNY WHEATON IS GONNA SCORE!

Even Browns fans are bad at the draft. You could have said "In the 5th (or 6th?) round, Cleveland Browns select Tom Brady."

Save that first overall for someone else.

Browns actually selected a QB in the sixth round, sixteen picks before Brady

The illustrious Spergon Wynn III of Southwest Texas State

He started one game

Lost 48-0

Lewis Billups. His story didn't end well.

Thought of this, but I think a young me would have preferred SB XVI (1982). Liked those players better, and I was just the right age to enjoy the win.

4 years ago, I would have said Game 2 of the 1993 SC final. Kings would have been up 2-0 with 2 road wins. No guarantee, but I like their chances.

NBA Kings-Lakers WCF in 2002 game 6 because it was the worst reffed game and most unfair outcome of that magnitude I've seen.

2nd choice - Portland vs Lakers WCF in 2000 game 7 already very well described above.

This is not going to be easy to write.

In the summer of 1998 I was 14 and in the summer between middle school and high school. That year I'd had the immense pleasure of watching the most fun team of basketball I ever watched. The 1998 Indiana Pacers featured 6 guys that made an all star team at one time or another. And the other 3 guys were Jalen Rose, Derrick McKey and Travis Best. Three great bench players to have.

The Eastern Conference Finals that year was the greatest series of anything I've ever watched. The Pacers were at their absolute peak. And the Bulls were going for title 6. They weren't the same anymore. They really were Jordan, Pippen, and specialists. And they were older. Slower. And beatable. The first four games featured games decided by six, six, two and two. With the home team winning all four. Indiana threw out a stinker in game five. But game six was the best crowd in the history of MSA. And it was the most fun I ever had watching a game:



Game 7 was a slugfest. It was pretty damn ugly. But it was close in the 4th after a strong Indiana run. I remember the 4th quarter for three things. 1. Knick Bavetta gave us a fair whistle for the first time imo. 2. We could not get a mother****ing defensive rebound to save our lives nor could we hit free throws.

And 3. I grew up a big white kid in central Indiana. I was a HUGE Rik Smits fan. The 4th quarter of that game was Smits' career in a nutshell. Dominant offensive moves. Silky for such a big man. But boneheaded misses. Stupid defense. Inability to get a tough rebound. It's hard for me to watch now just because I was a such a huge fan of such a weird player. But that's what it was.

Jordan didn't show up for that game. Kukoc got them to the 4th. Pippen won them the game at that point.

If I could change one sporting event I would run back the last half of that fourth quarter. Not because we lost per se. And not because I think we would have won the title over the Jazz (though I do.) I just thought we were better at that time than Chicago. And we genuinely let it slip.

Oklahoma State beating St. Joe's in the 2004 Tournament

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3sMpw7kKIE


That St. Joe's team is tied with the 2001 Sixers as my favorite team of all time.


From a gambling perspective it would have to be the San Diego Padres beating the San Francisco Giants in like 2005. I made like five different parlays and had the Giants in all of them. I got every game right in all of my parlays and just needed the Giants to win to scoop around $30,000. (I didn't realize the SD/SF game was the last game of the day or I wouldn't have included them in all of the parlays.)

I had $0 in my bodog account after betting the parlays so I couldn't hedge. Of course Armando Benitez blew the save in the 9th inning. It wasn't easy for an 18-year-old to process.

The Big Game

Call one of the multiple forward laterals that occurred. Exciting play, but it gets too much hype for not being a legal play. Plus ESPN finds a way to put it on 3 lists a month

As a Miami Hurricanes fan it is without question the 2003 Fiesta Bowl for the 2002 National Championship.

Canes going for back-to-back championships, an all-time great squad featuring:

Ken Dorsey
Willis McGahee
Frank Gore
Andre Johnson
Kellen Winslow
DJ Williams
Jon Vilma
Antrel Rolle
Sean Taylor

The call was questionable at best. This is the most brutal way to lose a title. The fireworks had gone off, we were champs again, but Terry ****ing Porter was having none of that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFpTkYMLzdc

I still lose my **** watching this video.

And it makes it so much worse that this was the end of a remarkable 20 year run that included 5* National Championships.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...03-fiesta-bowl

At this point the program is basically irrelevant and this game/call ended the dynasty.

* Should be 6. **** Terry Porter.

In the words of Didier. That game was a ****ing disgrace.

But that's a good point. Ballacks one right at the end was crazy.
