“The greatest game ever played” - 1958 NFL Championship game.

April 8, 1974, the night Hank Aaron hit number 715.

I was there!

Vols-Gators 98'

I was at the Bama game last year. So I’d have to say the Dobbs nail boot game

I didn't realize the significance of it at the time and it really wasn't that exciting but I had a sideline pass to Super Bowl I ( AFL/NFL World Championship Game). Walked through the tunnel with the Green Bay team.

@mad4vols shut the thread down and give this dude the trophy!!

The memorial games for Patroclus organized by Achilles during the siege of Troy

Lombardi's favorite play: power sweep. Forrest Craig with the block to spring Taylor as Starr looks on.

What a picture for us old timers. Bobby Bell in the back. Forrest Gregg, Bart Starr, Jim Taylor. Oops, saw previous poster covered all that.

Manchester United vs Manchester City. Any time

 

[snarcks]

The Miracle on Ice for me. So much pride there.

 

[WillisWG]

The Comeback at South Bend, 1991 for the win, the comeback and the environment.

"This is the most difficult loss I have ever been associated with," Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz said. “It's the most disappointed I have ever been in my life.”

Lou continues to hate us....

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

I think it would the 1980 US Olympic hockey team victory over the old Soviet Union at the Olympics in Lake Placid. Greatest upset in sports history in a pivotal geopolitics moment.

 

[volfan2024]

Actually attended Vols with Majors defeating Alabama Knoxville. Attended Vols beating Spurriers Gators in 98 hard to top those two. I think I would have liked to have seen Johnny Unitas qb to be honest. Huge Colts fan back then. Second would have been Braves although I saw a lot of games Im sure Hank Aaron play would have been nice.

 

[TrojanorVol]

Been to about 5 Rose Bowls as a Usc trojan fan. Including vs Texas and thought the Texas game would always be #1. Traveled all over. Bama last year with cheap seats was by far x 5 best sporting game I've been to. I went to ole miss 2021 and Georgia checker Neyland. Usc fan who always wanted to be a vols fan and I live here now to make it simple. Love it too.

 

[Madscientistvol]

The Tourny at Harrenhal. Way off script as that’s fictitious but I would realistically want to see a live real medieval sporting event as they actually happened.

Malice at the Palace

Malice at the Palace

Thanks for reminding me I used to watch basketball prior to 2000.

 

[VAVol85]

Lou Gehrig’s “Luckiest Man” speech game.

Just the mention of that event gives me chills.

 

[VAVol85]

I was there!

Saw Aaron play on a trip to Atlanta with my little league team but he did not homer in the game we saw. For those familiar with Atlanta, the blue-dome Hyatt was the tallest building in town!

Was that the one that had the revolving restaurant on the top floor?

I’m jealous that I didn’t get to experience football in this era.
