I don’t know how Mike Anderson has managed to have a long relatively successful career being such an incompetent basketball coach. It’s remarkable.

There have been teams with losing records to get in before UGA or are you saying just that year?

They just gave him 2.25 also

I don’t think he ever should’ve been hired back here. That ship had sailed *pun intended*

Super Bowl 3, Jets upsetting Colts. Unbelievable fluke. Terrible bounces and breaks for the Colts.

But most fans think Namath passed them dizzy so that is way it has gone down in history.

Watching Jean Van de Velde live on TV in 99 was pretty crazy. When he clanked his approach off the grandstand only needing a double bogey to win on 18, we all had a look of uh oh and turned the volume up. The 19th hole I was in was a little crazy.

Derrick Cope’s Dayton 499 and 2/3 win was a fluke. Somebody dominated the entire race and it wasn’t Cope. What a gift he was given that Sunday.

Johnson hitting the bird has to be #1

#2 is Man City scoring 2 goals in stoppage time to win the EPL in 2012.

Was at the Zurich Classic a few years ago, watching on the right side of the second hole. KJ Choi... a really short hitter, was paired with Bubba Watson. Watson hits his drive right up the center and long. Choi slices his drive at the right cart path, right where my two buddies and I were standing... it bounces on the path and my first buddy sides steps it, bounces again, and my second buddy jumps over it. Bounces again, and I duck under it. I turn around, and the ball is still bounding up the cart path. It hits something that makes it bounce dead left back into the fairway... about 75 yards further up than Bubba Watson

Tyree. Wasn't just the catch, Manning should have been sacked before he even threw it and he just threw a prayer after he miraculously escaped. Was basically two miracles in one play.

The Drew Tate Iowa bomb was flukier to me than that play.

The Play of course. I was actually there, so that's the only answer for me.

LSU’s GOAT season being ruined by Iowa State, and the Warriors’ 73-9 season being ruined by Donatss Motiejunas’ back sweat.

I think we all remember the infamous "Forward Lateral Game" between Southern Miss and East Carolina in 1986. Southern Miss trailed 21-20 late and threw a hail mary that was caught but short of the end zone. As the receiver was being tackled, he illegally lateraled forward and another Southern Miss player picked the ball up and ran it into the end zone for a TD. The refs called a penalty on Southern Miss for an illegal forward pass. However, 1986 rules dictated that ECU's only two options were to allow the play to stand or to allow Southern Miss to keep the ball at the spot of the lateral and the rules also dictated that, even though time had run out, the game could not end on a penalty. Southern Miss then kicked a 31-yard FG to win the game. SMTTT!!

I don't think of the Kick 6 as a fluke. Auburn outcoached us and made a play.

In person for me would probably be 2010 Iron Bowl, when Ingram's fumble towards the end of the first half tight roped down the sideline for 20 yards and didn't bounce out of bounds. Still don't understand how a football bounces that straight.
