I just turned on CBS showing the 1983 NCAA Championship between NC State and Houston.  I’ve considered this the best college basketball game ever played and my favorite sporting event of all time.  What’s yours?
I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    As a MD bball fan it is easily 2002 Final Four followed closely by the first Ravens Super Bowl win.
    Took this picture yesterday....

    Game 5, 2016 World Series. I was in Wrigley.
    Still stuns me to think Dexter Fowler was the first black man to bat in a world series for the cubs.
    The worst of times..they don't phase me,
    even if I look and act really crazy.

    Was that the game Arodis Chapman pitched three innings?

    I finally took the time to watch this game on YouTube on the 40th Anniversary.

    Wow.  So many to think of.
    Tough question.
    Maybe the 2003 Orange Bowl, USC over Iowa.
    Carson Palmer's last game - the Trojans found their groove and were ready to explode all over the backs of other college football teams for the next few years.
    It is quite something to realize that something special is happening and although that was not a championship game or anything, we knew it was a special time.  That staff was so great and we were getting great results.

    Lots (and lots) of other favorites.

    If I had to choose one of my teams, it would probably be the 2014 Wild Card game, Royals vs Athletics.  Down 7-3 and came back to win, after KC’s first playoff appearance in 29 years.

    Easiest question I have ever answered. Game 7. This is the camera that Raji Davis' HR hit. That was one of the most gut wrenching moments of my life. But... =)  =)  =)

    Don't care about sports, but I guess the one I remember is Sweden winning the bronze in the 1994 World Cup

    Or the Olympic Games final of 1994 with Forsbergs goal and Salos save
