Well that was big! Also, not sports related, when Miss American (like in the mid-80's) mentioned striving for world peace, there was a distinct attitude change in the way Americans thought. Hard to deny that!

My son's first track meet in High School
4
Jan 30, 2025, 2:57 PM
|
|
He was the 3rd leg of the 2 mile relay got the baton about 30 yards behind and like a freshman he tried to make it all up in the first 220. He did that and even got about a 30 yard lead in the second back stretch, but was fading fast. As he passed the opposing pole vaulter the guy yelled encouragement to his team mate that my son had quit. I saw him pick up his pace a little bit. The other guy caught him and passed the baton off with about a 10 yard lead. Fortunately, our anchor man made it up and they won.
After the meet my son told me what the pole vaulter had said and said "Nobody tell me that I quit."
He never quit a race in track or cross country.

Beating Bama and the way it ended was very special.

Gotta either be winning the national championship in Tampa with my daughter on the field as a mascot, Hank Aaron hitting #715, or the Dolphins beating the Redskins in the Super Bowl to complete the perfect season. Been watching
sports too long to pick just one.

I was there. My brother played soccer as a youngster thru high school and we went to a bunch of games back when they played on the field behind the Death Valley north stands. I was in my first year of school when we played in the national championship at Riggs Field in 1988. San Diego State? It was very cold and I was sick as a dog. That was the only soccer game I ever went to where the fans cheered just like it was a football game.

I was grad assistant that year.
We avenged two losses to North Carolina by beating them the day before in the semi-finals to advance to face San Diego State in the Championship game which we won 2-0.
The funny thing is, we actually finished 5th in the ACC standings that year behind Virginia, Duke, Maryland and UNC.

BigCU. You have slowly let the details of being on the soccer team out over time on here. I knew you played but never saw you say when you were on the team. The famous first soccer Natty in The Kingdome in Seattle. The only one that I didn't attend as a fan. That's awesome man. You were on some amazing teams.
I was at that 1987 championship as well. Eric Wynalda was the best player on the field but our tigers were the much better team. Me and my friend were allowed in the San Diego State locker room afterwards and got Wynalda's autograph. I was 11 at the time.

For me it was the Patriots comeback win over the Alanta Falcons in the Superbowl. On a single play it was the endzone interception by Butler in the Patriots/Seattle Superbowl.

Mine is a bit different
Jan 30, 2025, 8:46 AM

While all of the sports memories that y'all have mentioned are excellent, my most vivid memory, the one that I can remember each and every moment of is:
The 1981 victory over Georgia in Death Valley. Georgia was the defending national champion coming into that game, but left that day on the losing end of what was a monumental 13 - 3 Clemson win that was the springboard to Clemson's national championship later that season.
My brother and I attended that game together and sat down low in the south upper deck and were both wearing cowboy hats. Many memorable moments in that game, but what I remember the most was when the game was over it seemed as if no one wanted to leave. Then as we were walking down the ramp to exit the stadium with everyone else, the roar of the crowd grew with each step that we took.
It was sheer euphoria and I will never forget that feeling.
#2 would be Sid Bream's game winning slide in the '92 NLCS.......but that is another story for another time. lol
Go Tigers!!

Eye witnessed Hank's 715th homer and still have the certificate they passed out that night leaving the stadium, April, 1974.
But maybe Secretariat's 31 length win in the Belmont is my fav. Still holds all 3 Triple Crown record times. IMHO

Was in Tampa for 2016 Championship, in that same end-zone so had a perfect view of the TD play developing and the whole drive. By far #1, for the sheer level of excitement taking the lead with 0:01 left.
The Dunk is #2.
2018 game was great and capped a great season. But by the time it was all over, there wasn't much thrill-of-the-moment excitement, but ramming it down Bama's throat for 10+ minutes to take a knee inside the 5 was lovely #3.
#1 non-Clemson moment has gotta be "Braves win! Braves win! Braves win!"

Jan 30, 2025, 8:35 PM

a big one since I was there in person. Dad was a NCState grad, so watching the last dunk to win the '83 championship with him on TV is one for me. Chris Michael drained a long jumper to beat the tarholes in Littlejohn in the mid-80's while I watched from as far away from the court and you can be and not be outside. Sitting in the endzone watching Treadwell's kick win the game in Athens was a good one for me, again because it was live. The Greg Buckner dunk to beat the tarholes in the ACC tourney was another good one that comes to mind.

2018 National Championship game with my dad

The day after we won the semifinal game, my dad called and said “I want to go to the National Championship game with you”
Mind you, my dad, born and raised in Ware Shoals and currently living in Waterloo, had never been west of Tennessee and certainly never been on a plane. Fortunately, I travel a bit for work and had miles saved up so I was easily able to book us a flight and hotel. We flew out of Savannah to Atlanta. He did great on the flight, and we hustled to make our connection in ATL. 24 hours later we were watching the confetti in Santa Clara! It was the best 48 hour trip I’ll ever take.
