Michigan fumbling the punt against Michigan St.


This because I switched to LSU/Florida after watching most of Mich/Mich St.

Also does anyone remember the Broncos/Falcons SB when they came back to commercial and the TD pass to Rod Smith was already happening?

I'm a huge cub fan. I mean like lifelong massive cubs can. When Chapman came back out for the 9th after giving up the HR on the bottom of the 8th i threw my laptop and put a small home in the wall that's still there to this day. I went back to my bedroom and just laid down. My wife came down later and said i think you'll wanna see this. I missed zobrist double but was able to see the last half and the W.

I know this was not supposed to be about attending games in person but I not only stepped out of the room, but stepped out of the stadium and missed the Saints’ greatest comeback of all time against the Redskins in 2017 and I will go to my grave regretting it. Down 30-16 against a shitty Redskins team where the Saints couldn’t do crap all game on offense or defense, I left the Dome in an expletive filled rant with 3 minutes to go after the Skins converted a 4th down on a fake punt deep in their own territory. The Saints were on like an 8 game win streak and I figured it was just their annual inexplicable home loss to a crap team that always seems to screw us in playoff seeding.

As I am sitting in traffic outside the stadium, the Saints then miraculously hold the Skins, convert an 80 yard TD drive, hold them again, score, convert a 2 pt conversion, send the game to OT and win. I got to my friends house just in time to watch us kick the game winning FG and couldn’t decide whether I wanted to laugh or cry.

Mike Tyson vs Marvin Frazier fight. Buddy gets it in PPV. I go take a leak and come back fight over in 30 fricking seconds. Couldn’t believe it.

Can't remember missing any like that but we got smart for the Saint's Superbowl. Closer to the end of the game we all went outside to watch it on the patio TV. Everyone had a lot to drink at that point and was pissing regularly. After going outside it was just piss off the patio while looking back over your shoulder. Good times that night !

Must have been out of the room a lot during the 2012 NC game, cause I never saw LSU cross the 50.


I spent almost the entire 2012 NC game on flight.

Joe Theismann breaking his leg. My brother and I were 7 and 10 years old so we fought a lot. Just before that play happened my mom was pissed at something we did and she switched the channel to Dumbo. Turned it back to the game a few minutes later and he was being carted off the field.

My grandfather used to live in Zwolle and we'd go up there every summer vacation. We listened to the '91 CWS on the radio since he didn't have ESPN (or maybe even cable). We had to drive home the day of the championship game against Wichita State and the only thing I remember from that is the Rios homerun.
