Two for me:

1) There was 1:47 on the clock on the Hodson-to-Fuller earthquake touchdown. Auburn had plenty of time to get in field goal range.

2) Bill Buckner's error. That wasn't the deciding game of the series. The Mets still had to win game 7.

Recently watched the Catching Hell 30 for 30. Bartman and Buckner got royally screwed by fans and media.

The Red Sox lost this series in 7. The home run was futile.

PI call in tBCS Championship game gave tOSU the victory over Miami.

If we're going that route, the game should have never made it to OT in the first place. And even then, the game was decided in the second OT.

The cubs fricked that up themselves. Bartman was just a scapegoat. Typical cubs shite.

Reggie Miller's 8 points in 11 seconds vs the knicks was the conference finals.

Also frequently overlooked in that game is that the tying run was scored with two outs on a wild pitch.

More importantly, the game was already tied when he made the error.

3-0 lead in the top of the 8th, one out. Proceed to allow 8 runs to score, blame one fan when several were reaching for the ball.

I always said the deciding play of that game was McGahee's injury. He was starting to get red hot after being bottled up the 1st half and then boom. I think he wins the game for them if that doesn't happen IMO. At least that is how I recall it.

OSU did what they had to after that though. Great game.

Oh my God... this. Calvin Schiraldi must go to bed every night and thank God for Bill Buckner.
