OK the 07 year is over what were some of the best games that you attended.

for me

1. OSU illinois football game- rooting for OSU but still a very fun game to be at.

2. Dodgers Pirates- Dodgers tie the game in the 9th and then in the 10th Russel Martin hits a game winning grand slam and the dodgers win.

3. OSU UNC bball game. Very exciting game in the first half but ended up not as good as I wanted.

1. Dallas Cowboys vs Buffalo Bills- MNF game, was off the wall. No one gave Buffalo a chance. Best atmosphere ever, and I think those who were there or watched it on tv would agree.

2. Ottawa Senators at Buffalo Sabres- Game 5 in Buffalo, the crowd was insane, sold out 20,000 inside HSBC Arena, and aout 12,000 outside the arena in a block party. Ottawa won, but it was one of the greatest games ive been too.

3. Virginia Commonwealth vs. Pittsburgh Panthers- March Madness 2nd round, VCU was down 17 with about 7 minutes to play, and came back to tie it up with about minute left. VCU lost, but the crowd/band/game was amazing. VCU beating Duke was also great.

The Tigers came to Cleveland late in the season, and the Indians swept them(I went to the final two games), and Hafner and Sizemore were unstoppable.

I also went to Michigan State @ Ohio State, pretty decent game, Beanie ran for like 200 yards and a couple TD's. He's huge in person...

NMSU Basketball vs Utah State for WAC title.

Unbelievable. We won when they missed a 3 pointer at the buzzer.

Week 3 Packers-Chargers. Brett Favre threw 3 TDs, 369 yards and no INTs. A 60 yard bomb to Jennings won us the game and tied Favre with Marino for the TD record. Probably the most exciting Packers game in the past few years.

Here are the highlites for the Bills-Cowboys MNF, it was so loud at the Ralph, that it is tough to hear Mike Tirico. Man, that game was insane. Check it out.

1. Colts/Patriots AFC Championship Game - Enough said

2. Indiana/Purdue Football - Heated rivalry where we take back the Old Oaken Bucket for the first time in 7 years. Any game where I storm the field is a great game.

3. Franklin College/North Central (DIII Game) - The team I was cheering for, Franklin since my cousin plays there, lost, but this was a shootout that came down to a touchdown pass as time expired to give NC the 2-point victory. If FC won, they would have faced the eventual DIII Champs.

However I did go to two high school games this year that might trump every single one of these due to the atmosphere where I was, Carmel/Center Grove and Carmel/Warren Central for you Indiana people who might know what I'm talking about.

best game i went to was the LSU vs. FL game. it was insane. they broke the attendance record that night and the tailgating of course was amazing. for LSU to come back the way they did. it was a night i probably won't forget and who knows might be the best game i ever go to.

Rumors have it they could move to Toronto or even to cities like LA and San Antonio if Ralph Wilson doesn't ensure the team is sold to a person committed to the city of Buffalo

The Chargers at Raiders week 17: It was the first NFL game I've been to, Jamarcus Russells first career NFL start and Warren Sapps final game.

Browns vs. Bengals, Browns vs. Bills and Indians vs. White Sox (Early in the season, their first home win I think.)

Browns and Bills would have been awesome to go to. I would have had a sick time in the snow.

The stadium was so ******* electric. Easily the greatest moment i've ever witnessed at a game.

Wasn't as much snow as ice, which was bad considering it was windy. Walking out of the stadium the wind would blow you back and you'd slide back on the ice. It was hilarious. I did throw a few snowballs at some annoying bills fans though ;)

The Bills MNF game. It was the craziest game I've ever been to.
The atmosphere was amazing.

Bills-Cowboys MNF. Just awesome.

Didn't get out to as many Sabres playoff games as I did in 06, but Game 1 vs. the Isles was a solid win, first game of the playoffs as the #1 seed, great atmosphere as always

I'm pretty sure I already have my answer for 2008

Texas OU is always a good game, the NHL all star game was fun. Carolina Clemson was a good game as well.

1. Fiesta Bowl.
I dont think I will ever see a more exciting game. It was up and down and the finish made it a classic. Boise State shut down AD, which was incredible. One of the greatest times of my life.

2. Dallas @ Seattle
Oh man this game was crazy. Known as the game tony romo dropped the snap. Everyone I was sitting by including me were freaking out when Romo picked the ball up and almost got a first. Good day to be a Seahawk.

3. Chicago @ Seattle
Close game between two NFC powers. Rex Grossman played really well and I held my breath every time Hester touched the ball the defense made some great plays.
This was from that game and everyone around me started freaking out. It was a great sight.

boston college and notre dame.

i hate ND. it was a spice of life to see notre dame fall out of any spotlight. as of today, i had sports center on in the background and haven't heard the word 'notre dame' at all today. :]

Jaguars home games for me. I dunno which one to choose; none really stick out. I guess I'll go with the last home game at Oakland: blowout to send us to the playoffs, including Fred Taylor's long TD run on the first official play from scrimmage. I went NUTS. My voice went horse shouting "FREDDY T! FREDDY T! FREDDY T!" My voice never goes hoarse at games, because I tend to "make noise" at a low pitch.

I will have to note, though, that the first-or-so quarter atmosphere of the Colts/Jags MNF game was electric. It just ended up going pretty sour as the game progressed, although Jags fans did make some good noise even when the game was getting out of hand as I recall.

ya I'm not even a tribe fan. My buddy invited me to go cause he had an extra ticket. After that I started rooting for them to go all the way cause my team was gone and that game was so sick.

Went to Giants vs. Pats. Almost pulled it out. Regardless it was exciting as all hell, there was so much energy in Giants Stadium.

Giants vs. Chicago. Came back and beat Chicago in Chi-Town. Nothing better than leaving a visiting stadium victorious in your team's jersey.

Yankees vs. Mets. It was sometime in June. Sunday night game on ESPN. Wang was electric. Went 8 and 2/3. Struck out double digits.

Went to a couple other great Yankee games. Phil Hughes first start in the majors which was against the Jays. Another game against the Blue Jays where Robbie Cano hit a walk off double in the 10th. Saw the Yankees destroy the White Sox and hit 8HRs in the process. Saw Roger Clemens in one of his final starts ever, pitch against Josh Beckett and get the win against the Sox.

Payed $900 to go to game 5 of the ALCS at the Jake.

Worst night ever. I'm still not over it.....

I didn't go to a single sporting event last year other than that. What a horrible year.

Easy question for me;

Went to all 4 days of the Test Match between England and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January. This game was the last for a guy that played for Australia for over 10 years in Justin Langer, one of the best fast bowlers ever in Glenn McGrath and the last for the greatest spin bowler ever - Shane Warne, a guy that has always been my favourite sportsman.

Of course none of you Americans understand any of this but i hope some of the poms on the board might appreciate why this is probably the best sporting event i'll go to in a long, long time.

Seats were great. Best I've ever had at the Jake.

Generally speaking, it was totally worth it. The atmosphere was indescribable.

Then they decided not to even show up. Thanks a lot, Tribe.
