1999 Goody's Headache Powder 500. Dale Earnhardt spun Terry Labonte in the middle of turn 3 & 4 on the tale end of the last lap to win. Nothing like hearing 200,000 fans boo Dale Sr!
"Duke Invitational?"
UConn lost only twice all year, had Rip Hamilton, and had the same team that made it to the Elite 8 a year earlier.
Not excatly 1985 Villanova.
BTW,
I actually had neither UConn or Duke winning it all that year.
My pick to win the 1999 NCAA title was... get ready to laugh... Auburn.
I was drinking the Auburn kool-aid that year... ouch.
1. Game 1 NBA Finals Bulls vs Lakers. Standing Room in 3rd level of old Chicago Stadium. Bulls 1st game in Finals, Michael made the famous drive down the lane, switching hands in midair. Outstanding feeling and the loudest I can every remember a stadium.
For those of you fortunate enough to see a sporting event live, which was your favorite?
For me, it was the first 49ers game I went to in San Fran back in 1996. It was for their 50th anniversary, Don McLean sang a verse of "American Pie" as well as the National Anthem. The Niners were playing the Bengals, and shockingly the Niners were down 21-0 in the first half. Adding to the misery, Steve Young got injured and Elvis Grbac (remember THAT name?) wasn't lighting it up either and got injured as well. They cut it to 21-7 at the end of the half. During the 2nd half, the Niners fought back and scored 21 more points, capped off by Young coming back into the game, sitting back in the pocket in the Red Zone, and limping (not running) into the end zone for the final touchdown with about 2 minutes left in the game. I went to 3 other games after that, but none compared to that first one.
Figures the one time I didn't do a search before I started a thread..I think we had a thread like this not long ago, didn't we?
