I was just watching 10 ten games of the season for college football and somehow Mich vs OSU wasn't number one...but oh well.

It just reminded me of how great that game was, I'll never forget that game. It was such a great feeling to rush the field.

Getting to see Barry Sanders play in Soldier Field. It was a year or two before he retired but I will absolutely never forget it.

Seeing Michael Jordan rip up the Seattle Supersonics, glad I was able to see him atleast once.

I also got to see Albert Pujols rip a HR two years ago in Old Busch Stadium. Glad I was able to see that atleast once.

Those are all that come to mind.

Well in Vegas and Reno there are no professional teams so there aren't any good games except rarely and sometimes college.

Let's see
In high school I'll always remember this one football game as a freshman I totally kicked ass in. I played cornerback, wr and on all special teams, and I got about 15 tackles and about 5 for a loss, forced a fumble then got kicked out at the end for fighting and had blood all over my white jersey. Unfortunately I had to sit the next game and the next season I had my knee shit so I only officially played one year. sad.gif
Saw the Las Vegas bowl when UNC was good with Curry and Peppers, that was cool.
Last year I got to see the Hurricanes play(although it was the one loss in a 7 of 8 winning streak dry.gif ) in their Stanley Cup year, so that was awesome.

Damn, I envy you. I'm a huge Bulls fan and I wish I could have seen Michael play.

And although i'm not a Detroit fan, Barry Sanders is in my opinion the best running back in the history of the sport. I would have loved to see him, his agility and speed were crazy.

I saw Jordan play. He just demolished the Nets.

I also saw Mark McGuire hit a home run when it meant something.

WBC, USA vs. Canada when Varitek hit his grand slam, as a Yankees fan I didn't even feel odd cheering my guts out.

USA vs. Mexico wasn't as exciting.
BEAUTIFUL BEAN FOOTAGE
Hmm...

I was young at the time but I remember my dad took me to the Broncos/Oilers Divisional playoff game.

Some early Rockies memories at Mile High, mostly Andres Galarraga, Larry Walker, Dante Bichette and others.

When my dad caught a home run ball of Eric Karros.

Opening Day 2005 when the Rockies came from behind to win.

When the Rockies beat the Yankees (rare to see them at home) at Coors and Clemens was pitching.

Not games but the victory parades of the Avs and Broncos.

Well, I've only been to one sporting event, and that's a AAA baseball game between the Indianapolis Indians (Pirates) and the Columbus Clippers (Yankees). The Indians are the only Indiana sports team I like...I would probably like the Pacers, but I don't give a shit about the NBA.

So I guess that's the one that sticks out in my mind. It wasn't very entertaining...the Indians led the entire game, and in the ninth inning crushed a Clippers rally to make the final score 5-4, but of course I was glad the Indians won. I did get to see Victor Santos and Chris Duffy before they were called up, though, so I guess all isn't lost. I believe Mike Gonzalez closed the game, too, and he's the Pirates closer now.

Minor league baseball's really the only thing I'd see around here. I'm mostly a Pittsburgh sports fan, since that's the area I used to live, and it's a long drive from Indiana just to see a sports game. My parents always talk about going to PNC Park or Heinz Field for a game the next time we go back for a visit, but I know it won't happen...we rarely stay more than a weekend, and we have a big family, so there's a lot of visiting to do. I tried to get tickets to the Steelers vs Colts regular season game last year, but they sold out before I could (I would have left unhappy anyway), and of course the playoff ones went even faster.

I've been to the Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium a few times, and one I always remember is a game when we came back against Seton Hall. We were down about 20 points at half time then made a huge comeback.

I actually found the game on YouTube.

the White Sox Cubs game this past summer where Ryan Dempster was trying to close out the game with a two run lead and AJ Pierzynski hit a 3 run homer and the people in the bleachers proceeded to throw all their beer cups and trash all over the field for like 10 minutes. That was hilarious!

Jordan vs. Bird in Phil Jackson's first season as coach in '89.

Watching Matt Clement take a no-hitter into the 8th inning was exciting.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation letting us on Wrigley Field when my brother got to meet Darryl Strawberry (lol) and Tommy LaSorda.

2nd row seats behind the visitor's penalty box at a Hawks game earlier this year.

Getting to sit in a luxury box at old Comisky and watch the Yankees trounce the Sox 12-2.

Hm...

I was at a charity softball game with mlb players sponsored by Cecil Fielder with my grandparents, and I was about 5 at the time. I wanted Griffey's autograph (only reason I went) and asked him for it about 20 times, when he wasn't even playing. He went over and signed other autographs but then just stared at me most of the time while walking by. So, no autograph from him, and since then I just wish he would choke on dick.


Wow, now that is dickish.

Damn, Griffey's a fucking cock.

My friend actually got him to autograph something while he was at an Arby's in Detroit after a Tigers vs. Mariners game.

I've been to Cincinnati to watch the Reds play a few times and have seen him sign quite a few autographs. A lot of people do say he's a dick, so I don't know.

Well it's hard to tell, sometimes you just may be missed.
