- Dolphins vs. Patriots in the 2002 regular season finale. i still got the playoff tickets i didnt get to use that year

- 2003 Fiesta bowl :plain

- 1999 NBA Eastern Conference Quarterfinals game 5: knicks vs. heat. i still get sick to my stomach when i see that ball bounce around the rim and drop in. I still wish Allan Houston would break both his knees.

- 2000 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 7: Knicks vs. Heat. f*** you Jamal Mashburn. that is all.

- 2000 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals Game 6: Heat vs. Knicks. the reason why game 7 was played in the 1st place. heat have big halftime lead. heat blow big lead. Game 7 is needed. :plain guess who led the comeback. :plain

- 1995 AFC Divisional Playoff game: Dolphins vs. Chargers. Why Pete Stoyanovich (sp?)? why man?

- Colts vs. Dolphins at the pro during the '99 regular season. Dan leads a great comeback to tie the game (which we had no buisness even being in because of how bad they played) only to see Manning get the Colts in FG range with 2 plays and the idiot kicker nailing a 50 something yard FG as time expired.

- Dolphins vs. Jets. to many to write about.

- UM vs. Penn. st at the OB during the '99 season. UM was able to tie at the end but then state won on a long td pass completion.

- 2001 NCAA mens bball title game when Duke beat Zona. Woods virtually dissapeared at the end of the game.

- 2003 Regional final, zona vs. kansas. that was gonna be our year. :plain

 

what are some of yours?

2002 Hoosiers vs Terapins for the National Title(basketball)

 

thats pretty much it for me, normally my teams are the ones doing the breaking

id have to say u nailed it with all the heat games u mentioned. being a avid heat fan all those games killed me to see.

1995 - NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Bulls lose series to the Magic. Damn you Nick Anderson.

2002 - NBA Western Conference Finals Game (4)? Horry's lucky shot to beat the Kings.

There's more.

Super Bowl XXXVII, Still hurts to see those highlights

 

FSU vs UM 2002 and 2004-Just go for the touchdown instead of the field goal.

 

AFC Divisional Playoffs 01/02 Raiders vs Patroits-IT WAS A FUMBLE

2003 UF-FSU

1996 regular season UF-FSU

Creighton-UF in the tournament

ummm Game 7 Detroit/Magic two years ago

Miami-Florida football this year

Miami-Florida Sugar Bowl 2001

oh, and Alabama-UF 1999...the OT loss where Alex Brown jumped off sides on the missed XP to give them another chance (after Jeff Chandler had missed the XP earlier).

 

So many wrong things happened at the end of that game (muffed punt by Darrell Jackson)

Recent.....

 

2002 NCAA Basketball Men's Sweet 16, Duke vs. Indiana

2003 ALCS Game 7....Pedro Martinez coming out of the game after he points to the sky (I actually teared up)

2003 ALCS Game 7....Aaron Boone comes up to bat

2004 NCAA Basketball Men's Final Four, Duke vs. UConn

January 1982, AFC playoff game, Chargers-Dolphins (but it's still the greatest game I've ever seen).

 

The College World Series championship game where the Hurricanes lost on a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Penn State beating the 'Canes in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

Dolphins-Patriots 2002. 'Nuff said about this one.

oh, and 2002 Appalachian State v. Furman...we lost by 1 on a returned 2 point conversion.

 

the two point conversion attempt by our head coach (Bobby Lamb) made Chris Berman's bonehead play of the week ("Why Bobby Why!")

 

:lol

November 2001 Colorado vs. Nebraska the Buffs blowout the Huskers who were #1 at the time.

 

Rose Bowl January 2002- Miami vs. Nebraska that Miami team was unreal.

 

Game 1 of the 1995 NBA finals. Nick Anderson misses 4 free throws in a row to allow the Rockets to stay in the game and eventually sweep the magic.

 

There are other minor ones but these stick out in my mind.

oh, and Alabama-UF 1999...the OT loss where Alex Brown jumped off sides on the missed XP to give them another chance (after Jeff Chandler had missed the XP earlier).

Dude, I'm getting indigestion...

 

Do you remember how loud the crowd was when the Alabama kicker missed that PAT??? Then, nope, there's a flag on the play. GRRRRR.

 

For me it would be PK Sam's lucky catch to beat UF this year.

Horry's shot to beat the Kings sucked balls, and so did Fishers to beat the spurs. I'm a Laker hater, what can I say.

The Gators losing to Mich St in the Championship B-Ball game.

The Gators losing to Duke in the '94 Final Four

The Gators losing to Tenn in Overtime after we outpassed them, outrushed them, and just beat them up. We just fumbled the ball 5 times.

January 1982, AFC playoff game, Chargers-Dolphins (but it's still the greatest game I've ever seen).

 

The College World Series championship game where the Hurricanes lost on a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th.

 

Penn State beating the 'Canes in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

Dolphins-Patriots 2002. 'Nuff said about this one.

thankfully i wasnt alive yet for the '82 game and i was to young for that Fiesta Bowl (even thought the '03 game kinda resembles it).

 

i remember the world series game. warren morris getting the tigers a 2nd straight title. wasnt that in '96? that was f***ing crazy.

 

now that i think about it, the fins-pats game was 5 days before the fiesta bowl. that was one f***ed up week for me.

I like Chicago/Illinois teams, so there are too many to name.

 

And that's WITHOUT liking the Cubs.

id have to say u nailed it with all the heat games u mentioned. being a avid heat fan all those games killed me to see.

dude i still hate allen houston. i mean i f***ing hate his ass with a passion.

 

the same goes for mash. bitch passes up a last second shot to CLARENCE WEATHERSPOON! what the f*** man. than he goes off to charlotte/new orleans and talks about the heat franchise like they're the ones that screwed him.

The 1998 Marlins season :plain

i thought about adding that to my list but i was thinking more about specific games and moments.

 

lord knows that year was bad though. after the nuclear winter and the first couple of months of the season my heartbreak kinda gave away to numbness. you know what im saying? like you get beat so hard and constantly that after a while you just take it without feeling. thats pretty much what the rest of the season and the next few seasons were for me up until last year. every year i would watch and hope things would improve but i was seriously numb to the losing.

 

although i would seriously get depressed when ever i looked at my marlins title merchandise.

2003 NCAA Mens B.ball Tourni.....

when it bounced off the f***ing cross bar! :banghead

04' NFC Championship Game Eagles vs. Panthers...tha late hit that was never called to send d-mac out of the game and our recievers suckin ass

 

03' NFC Championship Game Eagles vs. Bucs...i hope Ronde Barber dies

 

Heat vs. Pacers in East Semis....damn i was torn

I guess all of mine have been named, since we seem to all like the same teams.

 

The Duke-UCONN game this year damn near killed me, though. That one was far and away the worst.

 

The Dolphins really don't have the power to disappoint me any more. They've pretty much emptied that tank.

 

All those Heat-Knicks games are good calls.

 

I guess one that hasn't been mentioned is when the Panthers lost that awesome Game 4 to the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I had gone to almost all those playoff games, so it was sad that its was over, even if the Panthers were essentially screwed.

 

Game 3 of last year's NLCS kind of sucked, but it all turned out for the best.

- The drubbing College of Charleston put on Maryland in the 1997 NCAA Tournament. C of C was the best mid-major program that year, but were well underseeded and they took their revenge on my Terps.

 

- 1997/8 Marlins season. Haven't enjoyed watching a Dolphins game since.

 

- January 1995. Nebraska handed both the AP and coaches titles over a more deserving Penn State team.

 

- Terps losing to Virginia in lacrosse in the 2003 NCAA tournament. But the payback this year was sweet, blowing them out and ending their chance at a tournament berth.

any Heat playoff game, especially all those games vs. the Knicks.

 

Jan. 5, 2003.....NFC Wildcard Game. friggin Giants blow a 38-14 lead in the 3rd quarter against the 49ers at 3COM. IN THE 3RD QUARTER. how the hell does that happen?? still to this day, i want to punch Terrell Owens squa in the nuts. really hard. REALLY hard. unreal. now i gotta deal with that whiny sack twice a year. ive never felt more down after a football game in my life.
