    Being on the first row in the Alabama endzone for the 2011 BCS national championship game.

    Unreal atmosphere pre-game for that one.

          Superbowl 42. They didnt have a shot in hell but somehow they did it.

          And playing a HS football game at Giants Stadium (The same year they won SB42). We got spanked in the game but it was still awesome to come out the tunnel that my favorite team did on Sundays.

            I have PLENTY from the Suns, Texans, Sabres, and Braves and I'll think and try to compile a list, but I really don't think anything has truly matched the euphoria I felt at this moment. The fact that EVERY SINGLE fan that was watching was feeling the same exact thing and did the same exact thing once it happened is just something that, I don't know, I can't even put it into words.

                I wasn't alive when the Reds won their last series, or that would be #1.

                The two that come to mind to me is Kentucky winning the national championship in 2012 and the Pistons upsetting the Lakers in the early 2000's.

                    Gopher hockey 2002 national championship, with a bullet.

                    I was 11 at the time, huge Gopher fan because I spent the first 10 years of my life with no NHL team. It was the first time that I really followed a team intently; watched every game, knew every player and his stats. You could have asked me on any week during the 2002 winter how many goals and assists Keith Ballard, Jordan Leopold, Paul Martin, Johnny Pohl, Grant Potulny, etc, had and I would have been able to tell you, haha.

                    Video still gives me chills. Being an 11 year old kid, I was SUPER bummed when Maine took the lead late in the game. And then the late goal. And then the OT winner. Fun stuff.

                      2010 Olympics, especially Alexandre Bilodeau winning the first gold medal for Canada on home soil, and Sidney Crosby with the golden goal. I'll never forget where I was when that puck crossed the line.

                        2. After years of witnessing (in person) heartbreaking or blowout Bears losses at Lambeau Field, being in attendance on Christmas Day in 2005 when the Bears clinched the division there.

                        3. The 2003 Wild playoff run. So many memories there. Highlight is probably this - Patrick Roy's last moment:

                        2-4 are pretty much a tie.

                          Ranked in no real order, but the last one was the best

                          Copy/Past from the worst thread:

                          -"The Death Valley Defeat", Auburn/LSU 2007: Everybody in the stands was checking their phones or getting ready to video the field goal or just talking to the person next to them when all of a sudden you could hear the gasp when everybody noticed Flynn didn't spike the ball. Then when the ball went up in the air you could hear the silence of the stadium pierced by people yelling "NOOOOOOO". The ball hung in the air FOR. EV. ER. It was like a movie. And then the bomb went off and it was chaos.
                          you can make out the "NOOOOO"s as the ball is in the air at 8:30:

                          -"The Comeback", LSU/Alabama 2007: AKA beating Saban as soon as the prodigal whore returned. The video of just the actual comeback was taken off of YT, but skip to 11:30 to see it. Down 7 on 4th and 4 against the Vaunted Saban defense with under 3 to play. We score, Alabama gets the ball, and I'm 100% sure Alabama would kill the clock and kick the game winning field goal. And then Chad. ****ing. Jones. My favorite player ever Jacob Hester sealing it.

                          -LSU/Arizona State 2005. It was supposed to be a home game for LSU, but that didn't really work out that way. It had been about a month since Katrina and everybody just needed a break, if it only lasted for a few hours. And we got one, oh man we got one

                          -Piggybacking off of that, Steve Gleason's blocked punt vs. the Falcons, 2006. It was just a blocked punt, but it was more than that at the same time.

                          -2007 BCS National Championship

                          -2003 BCS National Championship

                          -"Green Day", Georgia/LSU/Skylar Green 2003. I can pinpoint this as the moment I truly fell in love with LSU. Georgia returns the kickoff after LSU takes the lead. LSU fans respond by turning out the loudest L-S-U chant ever during the commercial break. Skylar Green takes over at 8:45

                          -2009 LSU/Texas, CWS Finals Game 3


                          -"The Dynasty", Stanford/LSU, 2000 CWS Final: Brad Cresse singles in the guy named Ryan Theriot to win LSU's 5th National Championship in 10 years. 4:40

                          -LSU beating major scumbag UC-Irvine in the 2008 Super Regionals, the last game in the old Alex Box stadium. It's impossible to explain if you're not a LSU or college baseball fan. Think of the Packers winning the NFC Championship game against the Vikings in the last game ever at Lambeau Field. That's EXACTLY what it was like.

                          -Landon Donovan, USMNT/Algeria. 90+1.

                          -Super Bowl XLIV and losing my mind when Tracy Porter jumped the route. Everything that meant as a Saints fan...but...

                          The thing that elated me the most was the 2009 NFC Championship game. Throughout the whole game everybody thought we were going to revert back to the Aints. We lucked out with some turnovers (Thank you Adrian and Farve) but the Saints actually fought through the game and...just listening to Jim Henderson call the game winning FG summarizes how every Saints fan felt. It makes my room dusty listening to it again.

                            I don't want to be the guy that includes stuff from my favorite teams from before I was a fan, so my list is short.

                            (This one might be #1 for me, I teared up watching this video for crying out loud. Texas Tech's 500th win, 1st win over a top-ranked team.)

                            And I couldn't find a decent, non-annoying video of LSU-Bama 2011 Part 1, but that is definitely on the list.
