If You Could Attend Any ONE Sporting Event In History, What Would It Be?

A lot of posts regarding Ali, including myself…my personal choice because of his greatness and place in sports history as a whole. But if someone twisted my arm, I could be persuaded to pick Hagler-Hearns. As a lifelong boxing nut, this one takes the cake of all cakes.

My dad always said throughout his life that this was the best fight he ever saw--- that they were" throwing bombs from start to finish" --- his words..

I would want to be at the Tennessee- Georgia game when Juan Jennings caught the Hail Mary from Josh Dobbs. I would have gotten every pennies worth of my Speech Communication degree I received at UT after that game..

Just last night, a Wal Mart employee said to me "I like your hat." I said, "I've got my tix." He replied, "yeah I came this close to going to the bama game, but I bought a house instead; I wish I had of gone to the game." lol

1982 Bama game. I was 5 and didn't make that one.

We were there, & it was glorious.

I can only imagine what it must've been like in that venue that day!

I would go to the bowl game where we beat the Buckeyes.

The NC game. I had the opportunity to go and passed on it for some reason i cannot remember and now it seems ridiculous that i didn't. Honestly though, i was certain it wouldnt be the last chance as we seemed poised to become a permanent feature in NC talk.

Was ready to go to the Rose Bowl in the 2001/2002 season...but

My advice to myself is...if the opportunity arises again, go at all costs.

2008 Wimbledon final, Nadal vs Federer. Watched it on TV and it was drama from the first serve. Two of the best ever playing at the highest level for five hours.

We were there, & it was glorious.

I've had to live vicariously through stories on that one. Definitely an all-timer.

That’s one that I made it to. One of the best days ever.

I can only imagine how great that was. I remember my Dad whooping and hollering.

You and I need to be sipping some whisky somewhere...

OH...and one of my wife's favorite stories is SHE was actually on the field (with her 'Burgh area High School's Band) at the "Immaculate Reception Game"..

1982 Bama game. I was 5 and didn't make that one.

This was my wish too.
First game that we won against Bama in my memory. I was 11. I was listening to John Ward and it was electric in my living room. I would like to be at that one. I was screaming and hopping around the room, then ran to meet my daddy when he got home form work a few minutes later.
I hated the Bama fans always having bragging rights. I live on the border with Bama and Ole Miss.

January 11, 1976 - The Philadelphia Flyers, (aka Broad Street Bullies), pulverized, victimized, and generally laid waste to the Soviet Red Army team at the Spectrum.

Thanks. Didn't even know this happened.
