Steelers loss to the Browns last week

last year's epic Sun Bowl (Oregon State 3, Pitt 0)

Florida/Ohio State national title game (I had to cover a soccer match the night of the OSU/LSU game and missed most of it)

the Pittsburgh Pirates (just about every moment of every game)

1. Florida beats OSU for the BCS National Title ... felt like someone kicked me in the stomach. I was literally depressed for weeks, I couldn't shake it.

2. Yankees beat Mets for 2000 World Series Title ... ughhh, I hate my Yankee fan friends, and I never heard the end of this one.

3. Giants lose to 49ers in 2003 playoffs ... Giants blow a huge lead, then don't get the call after they muff the game-winning FG attempt: how wasn't that pass interference?

4. OSU loses to LSU in BCS Title Game ... what made this bad, besides actually losing, was the WAY we lost. I admit that LSU was better, but if Robiskie catches that TD, and we trim down our penalties, we could have won this game.

5. Florida beats OSU to win hoops title ... great run in the NCAA tourney ends to the one team I couldn't stomach losing to. I still want to beat Noah with a sock full of quarters. Butler, look around ... you have three 1st-round NBA picks playing with you, why do you keep launching up bricks one after another???

John Cooper final two games were frustrating. Getting totally out coached by Michigan in a 31-23 loss and then the Outback Bowl was a total embarrassment. I said enough was enough after that. Until this day I won't forget the e-mail my mother sent me telling me Cooper was fired. What a great day that was!
