Greatest Sports Moments for me

28Feb08

Stealing the idea from ESPN and AJC, I would like to rank my top moments I have been in or witnessed myself.

5) UGA 37 FL 17 in 1997. UGA entered the game as a 20pt underdog and only 1 year earlier had suffered a defeat at the hands of the evil genious 47-7. Robert Edwards and Mike Bobo had clutch moments in the upset in a ALL NIGHT long celebration.

4)Game 3 of the 1991 World series. It was first ever world series game in Atlanta and with John Smoltz pitching ol Fulton County Stadium was rocking. Braves won the game but lost the series.

3)GA vs LSU in the 2005 SEC champ game. After spending all day long at the CNN center and listening to Cajuns telling me how bad we were going to get beat it was a honor to spank that a** by 3 td’s!

2a) Pepperell vs Early County in Georgia  AA semi finals. Playing in that atmosphere in South Ga was life long memory for me. Goal line stand on the one yard line with less than 45 seconds to play.

2b) Pepperell vs Brown AA State Championship game 1990.Playing and winning that game still sends chills up my spine. It was the last game my Grandfather watched me play in and was glad that memory was there for him and a very close friend I lost just a month later.

1) Not EVEN close for me as far as number one goes. My oldest daughter hit a buzzer beater this year in 8under basketball for the Lady Dawgs! My heart about jumped out on the floor when she did it. I coach the team so I had to act composed but inside I wanted scream and run around the court so loud that  it would have made Dick Vitale proud.
