The Miami Maryland game was a USA Network game I saw some of it but not the second half.


remember watching the second half at my grandfather's, and the Bills/Oilers had my uncle's.

Didn't realize until later that the same QB came off the bench to win the two greatest comebacks.

In person or tv?
TV was 2004 ALCS Yankees v Red Sox. I honestly thought they were dead losing game 3 19-8. Was actually pissed they won game 3 because it's more humiliating to lose in 5 games than it is to be swept IMO.
In person was 2005 lsu lost to Tennessee on thst monday night. They made Rick Clausen look like a lefty Joe Montana. He was awful after that game. It's been over 10 years and I am still aggrivated

Bills/Oilers


I remember watching that game just before watching the Saints play the Eagles in the playoffs.

in a way, the Saints crumbled in the second half a lot like the Oilers did earlier that day.

The Eagles scored like 24 points or more in the 4th quarter against the Saints.

but I think the Bills scored 3 or 4 TD's in the 3rd quarter of their game to get back in it.

no worries... I remember knowing had we beaten the Eagles we would have lost @ Dallas in the next round anyway.

Talking in person. This isn't huge from a points standpoint but from a situation. ND hosting Louisville in 2013. ND down 56-48 with less than 50 seconds left. End of regulation: 60-60. Jerian Grant scored all 12 of those points. Game then went to five overtimes before ND won. Longest regular season game in Big East (RIP) history. That was Louisville's final loss of the season (strangely, three of the last five national champions' final loss of the season was to Notre Dame).

Possibly the best game I've ever been to any sport.

2012 NBA playoffs game 1 Grizzlies/Clippers

Grizzlies at home led pretty much the whole game, was up by 24 points with 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter. Clippers come back and win the game in regulation. Finished the game on a 28-3 run.
Came in here to post that. Most unbelievable shite I've ever watched. Had a decent amount of money on the Grizzlies and was watching just to relish in my victory.

Game 6 of the NBA Western Semis this past year, Rockets were down 17 points with 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. Not only did they come back and win, but they won by 15 points. That's a 32 point swing in about 1 quarter. And considering they were facing elimination, that was a huge comeback.



Lol gtfo rocket tard..not even in top 50

Note sure of the biggest, but given they down 24-0 and won 55-24, it was the biggest turnaround I have seen. Certainly the most enjoyable.
quote:

Notre Dame was killing USC 24-0 with a minute left in first half of the 1974 game in Los Angeles. Anthony Davis caught a TD pass to close out the half, then returned the 2nd half kickoff for a touchdown, and USC ran off 55 straight points in 17 minutes. 55-24 final score.


Davis went crazy. He owned Notre Dame, once scring 6 TDs. He is especially remembered for scoring 11 touchdowns in three games against Notre Dame.

I don't remember the details or the year but, Kentucky BB had huge comeback against LSU back in the early 90s. I think LSU blew a 30ish point lead in the 2nd half.

It was 1994 and it's the Mardi Gras Miracle. UK came back in the 2nd half from down 31 points. It was absolutely nuts.

I still don't get why the 95 SECT Final hardly ever gets mentioned.

That game was just wild and the way the comeback started was even crazier, because how good both teams were.

2010 Iron Bowl 24-0 comeback was awesome, especially with what was on the line.

Braves comeback against the Reds capped by the Brooks Conrad walk off grand slam. They were down 9-3 in the ninth.
