NYY-BOS Game 7 last year

certainly you mean 2003, the year the yankees won. in 2004, the game was over before it started. sure, it was 'memorable', or in my case 'forgettable', because they were the first team to come back from 3 down in MLB, but it wasn't much of a game.

Certainly you mean Game 7 2001 WS Diamondbacks v. Yankees.

Clemens v. Schilling. Mentor v. Mentee. Soriano hits solo shot off of Schilling to take 2-1 lead late in game. D-Backs come back off of Rivera with good guys Grace and Gonzalez playing huge parts.

Best baseball game I've seen. I know you are Yankees fan but you have to admit it was a great game, win or lose.

you could put 3 or 4 games from the 01 world series on this list - best world series i've seen (i'm only 21)

OSU/Miami
Game 7 01 World Series
USC/ND
Lakers/Spurs conference championship game 5 (?)

Feels like general consensus in this thread brings us to:

a) Ohio State/Miami University Fiesta Bowl (I think?)
b) 2001 World Series Game 7 NYY-ARI
c) USC/ND Regular Season Game
d) Super Bowl XXXVI NE/STL
e) Super Bowl XXXVIII NE/CAR

Honorable Mentions:
i) 2004 WCF Game 5 LAL/SAS (Duncan/Fisher)
ii) 2005 Rose Bowl UM/UT

notre dame-usc is the most excited/emotional i can remember being during a game in the last few years.

I'd vote for the 2005 Rose Bowl Texas vs. Michigan. I actually don't even like college football, but this was a great game.

i really dont remember if the game was good or not but larry johnsons 4 point shot against pacers could probaly be put in top 10 games just for that

That game was in 1999, and it really wouldn't be in the discussion for top 10 even if it was in the last 5 years.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Lakers vs. Spurs game 5 in the 2004 Western conference finals. Tim Duncan hitting a tough off balance shot to take the lead with less than a second remaining only to have Derek Fisher hit a miracle shot at the other end.

I didn't read the whole thread but this has gotta be on the list... at least for me. Awesome [censored] game.

hmmm, difficult to say. but off the top of my head, i think that the az-illinois game last year would be up there along with the uk msu game. the osu um triple ot game is obviously on the list. i think that the last two would have to be the ne carolina super bowl, and usc notre dame of this year. honorary mention should go to the az nyy game 7. this is certainly not set in stone though.
