We were expected to win the title that year, with three unbelievable freshmen, Jeff McInnis, Jerry Stackhouse, and Rasheed Wallace, joing four returning starters from the previous year's National Champions.

1994 NBA finals....Knicks vs. Rockets.
All i can remember is John Starks goin 1 for 16 in game 6 when the knicks could have won the championship. Then he takes the last shot, a 3 pointer!!!! Always hurts to remember that game. Of course the rockets go on to win the finals in 7 games. Poor Ewing, fuckin Starks!!!!

fookin Derick Fisher in game 5 last year 2nd round playoff match
Made the shot with .3 seconds left. the worst part about it, the camera angle was so good you could tell the ball was going to go in the bucket!

Last year Derek Harper came to my job to speak for an event. The topic of his speech was teamwork, and his whole speech was centered around that playoff series. He talked about how that was his only best chance to win a championship.
10 years later, and he was still pretty bitter about it.

Watching Michigan play football is like watching a one-man show. It's boring, has no creativity, and it's always one man with the ball. One of these seasons, they might not have a star running back, and State will demolish them. That might not matter, anyway, with Drew Stanton. I have high hopes against Michigan next season.

Burn some dust here
2002 Auburn/UGA....Johnson making an unbelieveable catch to win it for the damn Dawgs. Worst part about it is that you can see me in the picture to his immediate left. My image was burned into the one thing I dont care to ever remember.

Safety Car
I see this is an OLD thread but my most painful loss is when my 49ers lost to the Giants in the NFC Championship game back in 1990. Roger Craig just HAD to fumble that ball! I am STILL mad about that. They would have beaten Buffalo, and have been the first and only team to this date to win 3 straight Super Bowls!
