If you could rewrite some sports history...

I thought of another one . . . I'd go back to 1980 and kick a FG in the closing seconds against UGA instead of fumbling at the 2 and catapulting UGA to a National Championship season that they still talk about.

I was there!:no:

If I could go back and make one sporting event end differently, there's no question that it's that game. The rest of the top 10 would probably be UT football losses, but that loss in 1991 is the single game that still eats at me the most a decade and a half later. The Braves had that game WON, dammit.

I would've sent Leo out to the Mound in the 96 World Series and told Wohlers not to throw a lollipop hanging slider to Jim Leyritz (pains me to even type his name) with 2 strikes.

You're really not supposed to bring that game up in a thread which both GAVol and I are reading. We were both there, unfortunately.

Andruw Jones, who was in left at the time(!) missed catching that ball by a foot. Just damn.

Dale Earnhardt Sr breaks a cam shaft during warmup laps just before the drop of the green flag. The last Place finish was a major setback in points that took all season to overcome, enroute to his record breaking 8th Cup Championship!

I don't remember that happening, but something else a little more serious happened in that race to somewhat derail his chances for an 8th championship...

Uhh, isn't that sort of the point?

Non-UT related
1. Dale Earnhardt climbs out of his car after the '01 Daytona 500 unhurt.
2. Kevin Dyson crosses the endzone for the winning TD in the greatest final play in Super Bowl history.
3. Steve Bartman stays in his @#$%^! seat.
4. Adam Petty lives, but builds the Victory Junction Camp anyway.
5. Dodgers stay in Brooklyn, which has a HUGE domino effect...The Giants go to Minneapolis instead of San Francisco (they moved to SF in a deal to give the Dodgers a closer opponent than St. Louis). The Washington Senators stay in DC since Minneapolis has a team, so there are no Twins to beat the Braves in '91. There is also no Mets expansion franchise needed, so Shea Stadium is never built.

UT related
1. Inky Johnson and Chuck Webb never get hurt.
2. Different outcome vs. LSU in the '01 SECCG.
3. Manning wins Heisman and National Championship.
4. Summitt beats UVA in 1990 Elite 8, and gets to the Final Four...in Knoxville. She wins, giving her another 3-peat in '89/'90/'91 to go with the one in '96/'97/'98, and an 8th title. The domination may have even swung more recruits to UT giving us more title ('95/'99?). How about if Geno the Jerk is never born...thats much simpler.
5. Johnny Majors retires peacefully, takes a job in the athletic department, and none of the drama/animosity of the last 15 years happens.

That was the night the Braves went from possible dynasty and being the team of the 90s to just having a "nice run". :banghead2:

I wish there had been no wardrobe malfunction during the Timberlake-Jackson halftime show at the Super Bowl.

Very droopy booby. I still have nightmares.

Additional re-writing:

Braves would have never moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta, thus I would not have to see GA, Vercing, and Wbarron all cry about the Bravos.

:p

I would definately liked us to win in the sec 01 game playing LSU then went on to win the NC, beating Florida everytime we played them.

1. Our recent Sweet 16 game wouldn't have the painful ending it did.
2. Kevin Dyson would have stretched out an extra yard.
3. That FG against Baltimore wouldn't have been blocked because then the Titans would have made it to the playoffs.
4. The Canes beat Ohio State 700-3 in the national championship in 2002.
5. Spurrier was never hired.
