There’s football pre-season, season, playoffs, the championships, and there are the months we wait again for pre-season. But I *suppose* watching the men’s version of the NCAA basketball tournament has had some dramatic, nail-biting games and below has been the best I’ve seen in a long time. Take a look at this crazy ending of the Furman vs. Virginia game last week.
I was on vacation with family because the kids of the fam were on Spring Break. Headed out the door to throw a frisbee and I thought, there’re just a few minutes left so I’ll slow-poke my way outside. As the game ticked down to the final seconds I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I’d put it up on the level of a few great sports moments in history I’ve seen live like…
Auburn beating Alabama in the “kick-six”…
Landon Donovan scoring a game winning goal in the World Cup.
Kerri Strug winning gold on a bum ankle…
Malcolm Butler’s Super Bowl winning interception against the Seahawks…
Honorable Mention goes to Leon Lett making a big mistake in a regular season game against the Miami Dolphins.
I’m sure I’ve seen more but those are the moments that stand out as the NCAA tournament continues this weekend. But seriously, how long till football’s back?
