Greatest Sports Moment You Were at

I haven't gotten to see any truly "great" moments, but I was at a Jim Jackson buzzer-beater-vs-the-Bulls and the UH win over Texas Tech...both were very exciting.

I would have KILLED to be at that 13-in-35 game...or the Rockets championships, though I was 7 and it's unlikely I would have appreciated it as much as I should have.

 

Game 6 against the Blazers last year when Rockets won and finally advanced in the playoffs. I had seats a couple rows behind the goal and the feeling when the game was over was surreal.

I was also at the infamous Rosencopter game...but that would be one of the worst.

 

As a junior in HS, some friends and I snuck down to the floor level for the NCAA Final Four in the Astrodome: Kansas (Dave Robisch), Villanova (Howard Porter and Chris Ford), UCLA (Sidney Wicks and Curtis Rowe) and Western Kentucky (Jim McDaniels).

I got Larry Farmer's sweatbands...

 

I was at the Rockets 1st championship ring ceremony. I lost the replica ring they gave to everybody at the game though.

Biggio's 3000th hit.

 

Game 3 1995 NBA Finals.

Game 5 2005 NLCS. (Well, it didn't end well for the home team, but it was still a great sports moment in baseball history.)

 

Eddie Johnson's buzzer beater against the Jazz in the playoffs @ the Summit

 

Game 7 NBA Finals vs. the Knicks.


/win.

 

Eddie! Eddie! Eddie! ...

 

World Cup 1994 in [ugh!] Dallas. Bulgaria beats Argentina. Many ché's go home unhappy.

 

-Eddie Johnson Shot

-Jeff Kent walk-off Homer

-Sitting in the endzone where Vinitieri hit the game winning FG in Superbowl 38

 

Game 22

 

I was at the 13-in-35 game. Third row. Mid-court (also private suite and Lexus lounge). We didn't leave before the end. I was yelling my ass off! Whatever Tracy McGrady is today, he was magical then.

 

I went to the "Game of the Century" between Houston and UCLA in 1968. I don't remember much about the game, I was only 8yrs old. I do remember it was hard to see the players from the stands in the Astrodome.

I also went to Super Bowl VIII at Rice Stadium in 1974. Miami beat Minnesota 24-7. Cold day and boring game.

 

2004: MLB HR Derby at Minute Maid Park
2004 NLCS: Jeff Kent walk-off HR
2005 NLDS: Burke walk-off HR
2005 NLCS: Astros take 3-1 lead over Cards on Everett-Bruntlett double play
2009: Houston-Texas Tech
2008: Cowboys-Eagles last MNF game at Texas Stadium
2009: Cowboys-Eagles Wild Card game

 

-the game that Hakeem passed Oscar Robertson for 7th all-time in scoring. It was nice to be part of a standing ovation for Dream.

-game 4 against the Lakers in '04 where Boki took down Malone. We lost the game, but that was a great moment.

 

I went to another regional NCAA game at Hofheinz Pavilion at which Austin Carr of Notre Dame went off for a record 63 (?) points against TCU. This was about 1970 or so. Record stood until a couple of years ago.
