    What was the best sporting event you've ever seen?
    Today's Aussie is up there but not touching the top IMO

    Off the top of my head..

    Duke/Kentucky NCAA hoops
    USC/Texas natl championship football
    Red sox/Yankees Dave Roberts game
    Tiger at us open on a broken leg
    Old school...chargers dolphins kellen Winslow game

    Real Madrid - Manchester United in the Champions League and that goal by Beckham from a free kick I think in 2004 maybe.

          I would throw a couple of boxing matches in the mix as well. Buster Douglas at 43/1 defeating the" unbeatable" Mike Tyson, and the Hagler/Hearns fight.

              USA/Canada Gold Medal Hockey - 2010

              Best game ever.

              The tennis match today is probably top 5.

                  Even though the outcome will go down as the biggest gut punch game of my life.....Game 6 will have to be up there.

                  Lots of others. Stars overtime winner in game 6 of '99 Stanley Cup Finals would be another.

                    When I think of great games I've seen...Texas/USC always comes to mind first.

                              Still remember it and I was a kid then. Lots of hype and lived up to it even with the fight being as short as it was.

                                    So many to choose from.....just recently.....

                                    Pitt/Denver and SF/New Orleans playoff games this year were unreal......Obviously, USC/Texas is up there

                                    That last whole day of MLB last season was ridiculous...with the rays getting in over the red sox, and the braves collapsing in the NL

                                    My favorite game I saw live was last season in college football, South Carolina beating #1 Alabama....Amazing game

                                            game 6 2011 world series, this australian open final, nadal beating fed at wimbledon in 08. i dont think ill ever forget those 3 games, and i rarely watch tennis and it made 2 of the top 3.

                                            live id have to go with duke butler ncaa championship game.

                                            also put me down for that 05 champions league final. i must be losing my mind forgetting that one.

                                              I gotta say mets/reds playoff play in game, then being at Pitt and watching UC come back and knock them out at Heinz Field by far the best.

                                                          In person would probably have to be the Texas 5a H.S State Championship game between John Tyler and Plano East. Probably the greatest high school football game played in the history of America.

                                                          On TV, the Texas win over USC was as exciting as it gets.
