Re: The Decade In Review

Best/Most Dominant Athlete? Albert Pujols

Best Video Game? Half-Life

Best Individual Sports Game/Event? 2002 National Championship. Ohio State over Miami.

Best Playoff Series/Game? Series is the BoSox coming back in the ALCS down 0-3 to the Yankees. Best Game is probably Kobe throwing up 81 points.

Most Memorable Sports Moment/Play? Aaron Boone's grand slam in the ALCS against the BoSox is one play from this decade I will never forget.

Most Dominant Team Overall? Lakers/Patriots

Best Single Season Team? 2001 Miami Football Hurricanes

Most Important Sports Moment? To me it was the Cavs getting the 1st overall pick and drafting Lebron.

Most Memorable World Event? 9/11

Most Important World Event? The invention of things like Twitter and Facebook for social networking. Twitter was awesome during the riots in Tehran and was a great place to get updated information from people actually there. This will pave the future for world communication.

Best band? Red Hot Chili Peppers. Hit after hit after hit.

Best artist? Eminem was pretty big early in the decade. Justin Timberlake has dominated this half though I would think. Britney Spears was pretty big too.

Best technological innovation? Nanotechnology. It will change the world in 20 years.

Best internet innovation? Social Networking sites.

Re: The Decade In Review

Listing things like Syracuse lacrosse or Penn St volleyball are silly.

First, they aren't mainstream sports and most of those types of sports have dominant teams.

Second, they aren't all that "dominant" if you want to go obscure.

Penn St volleyball have only won three championships, and Syracuse and UCONN five.

Auburn swimming and diving has won 11 championships, Alaska-Fairbanks has won 8 rifle championships, UCLA women water polo have 7, Stanford tennis has 5, and Arkansas has 6 track chips, and I'm sure others have similar results.

You are welcome.

I just didn't want other people to look at your post (or others with similarly bad opinions) and think you're a clown.

In the future though, don't call me "sir." I reject Western European concepts of superiority based on birth.

Re: The Decade In Review

For the most memorable, i put that because I couldn't yell I was so shocked. I was standing there, watching the ball go up saying "ohmygodohmygodohmygod" and it fell perfectly in Byrd's hands. I was standing there, with my mouth gaping open, totally catatonic. I could barely spell out the "T-i-g-e-r-s Tigers"

Re: The Decade In Review

You guys realize that the 2008 UConn female basketball team lost in the Final Fours, don't you?

Two of you choosing a semifinals woman's basketball team is odd.
