I was a freshman and got too drunk tailgating. I passed out on my fraternity house couch, woke up in the 3rd quarter, ran to the stadium, got there just in time to see the whole 4th quarter. Awesome game for me, I like to think I’m the reason for the comeback

Bill Elliott making up two laps … more than 5 miles … under green to win the 1985 Winston 500 at Talladega.

2006 LSU beating (1)Duke, then (2)Texas in Atlanta to advance to the Final 4.

The whole experience still gives me the goosies

I saw Nolan Ryan's fifth no hitter, which he pitched against the Dodgers in the Astrodome in Sept. 1981. I was 11 and went with my dad and an older brother. We sat in the right field mezzanine seats near the foul pole.

Saw Nolan Ryan vs. Roger Clemens in 1989. A classic duel that lived up to the hype. I think the Rangers won 2-1.

Probably John Smoltz 3k strikeout. Cam vs LSU in 2010 was pretty awesome.

I watched Bo Jackson hit an inside-the-park-homer live at Royals Stadium. He was like a jet around the basepaths.

The ball was hit to my part of the wall in RF, as I was in the first row. Made it on TV in the replays.

The stadium was electric for a long while after that.

Joe Burrow's first half against OU in the seminfinal in 2019. Just disgusting how good he was.


This is mine too. That first half was like a whole game arse whipping.

Watched Novak Djokovic win his then record 23rd Grand Slam in Paris. Was surreal to be there for it. Got tickets the night before.

Watched Ben McDonald versus Donnie Wall from a pine tree overlooking Moore Field at the University formerly known as USL. Great days of college baseball right before LSU went on their Natty run and I was able to travel to the old Alex Box and Moore field all while still in high school. Great times

Close 25-30 years later I am still in awe of this.

Late 90s, the Chicago Cubs were playing a spring exhibition game in the Superdome. Don’t remedy who they were playing or who won. But I do remember watching the Cubs take BP and backup outfielder Glenallen Hill hit a bomb down the left field line that landed in the upper deck of the dome.
I’ve seen a lot of baseball but I’ve never seen a ball hit that high and that far.
I think Hill himself was shocked at how far he hit that ball.

1995 I watched a true freshman Kevin Faulk just destroy State rushing and punt returns. State's first play was a 80yd bomb to Eric Moulds. The rest of the game was the Kevin Faulk show.

Wish I could find more detail about the game but as a 10 year old saw Pistol Pete score like 60+ points against Ole Miss at the old ag center in 1969 or 1970.

Altuve three home run game in game 1 of the ALDS in 2017 was pretty freaking cool

Burrow and LSU carving up OU in the first half of a playoff game was astonishing to watch in person.

Jayden’s 200 and 200 game against Florida last year was sick too

I was at Jerry Rice's last college football game in 1984 in a 66-19 Mississippi Valley St loss to LA Tech.
