Hey, I shared an admittedly embarrasing situation that surrounded a fantastic win, doesn't that count for something Mr Stubing?Last edited by Blueintheface; 08-19-2011, 11:52 AM."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

Everyone remembers Buckner, but nobody remembers that Boggs is to blame for the loss. Before the Buckner error, Boggs dogged it big time and it cost the Sox the series.Originally posted by LA Ute View Post
Mitchell was on 1st and Carter was on 2nd. Knight hit a dribbler down the 3rd baseline that ended up going foul, because Boggs was too damn lazy to pick it up inside the line and run 15 feet to 3rd for the out. Boggs moved up and followed the ball, watching it go foul. All he had to do was pick it up and he could have easily beaten Carter to the bag, because Carter never did run well.
Boggs cost Boston the blame, but Boggs gets the blame. It ain't right."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

I'm going with the Bartman game. 5 fing outs till the first world series since 1945. Other than the fact that Moises Alou acted like a 5 year old about a ball he probably wouldnt have caught people have forgotten two way bigger things.
1. Alex Gonzalez botches an easy inning ending 6-4-3 double play.
2. Dusty Baker the worst fing manager to ever manage sits in the fing dugout chews his stupid fing toothpick after the botched play. Hey dusty your star pitcher just watched two crazy things happen how about you get off your ass and do what good managers do and calm him down."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

At the risk of incurring the wrath of Gus, I'll share mine that is less than 10 years old.
2001 - Nebraska 36 Colorado 62. My Big 12 championship tickets arrived in the mail the morning of the game. I had them on the couch next to me for good luck. Instead of good luck, they apparently made Nebraska's linebackers forget how to play the run. I have never seen so many runners break through a hole in the middle of the line and not have a defender touch them again until 50 yards downfield. Actually, no one really "broke" through the DL...they were waltzing through 6 foot wide gaping holes the entire game. It was like a parallel universe. I don't ever remember seeing a Nebraska defense get so abused by a power running game. And we had a pretty good defense that year.
I was able to sell my Big 12 tickets to some Texas fan on ebay for a nice profit, but the loss stung when I thought about it for several years...mostly because it was the start of slide into medicrity compounded by a horrible coaching hire that we are just now coming out of.
Edit: The performance was embarassing enough. The fact that Colorado were the ones abusing us so made it unbearable.Last edited by Omaha 680; 08-19-2011, 01:26 PM.Comment

That game was awful. Easily makes my list of the worst losses I have witnessed. I am a Nebraska fan as well and that game was on my birthday. My Dad went and bought a nice new 27" TV that morning to watch the game on. Those 6 foot wide gaping holes looked really nice on that new TV (note, this was the largest TV our family owned prior to last year. It was a big deal...and to christen it with such a forgettable performance was an insult to Samsung).Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostComment

What's up with the sudden proliferation of Nebraska fans on this site?
Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I'd love to watch an independent BYU play Nebraska at Lavell Edwards Stadium. Perhaps they're hoping for the same.Originally posted by falafel View Post What's up with the sudden proliferation of Nebraska fans on this site?Comment
