Teams: SJ Earthquakes vs. LA Galaxy

Where:Spartan Stadium

What Happend:

Let's call it what it was: the greatest game in MLS history.

I won't argue about this. And neither will U.S. national team coach Bruce Arena, who had the fortune of being on site for Sunday night's unforgettable first-round playoff victory by the San Jose Earthquakes over the visiting Los Angeles Galaxy.

Calling it the Clásico de California won't do it justice. Understand: To continue their season, the Quakes had to score five unanswered goals after going down 4-0 (aggregate) in the 13th minute on Sunday.

Not only that, but they had to do it against the defending MLS champion, a team that hadn't given up more than two goals in a game all season.

And they did it. Five freaking goals -- capped by Chris Roñer's 90th-minute equalizer and the golden goal in overtime by Rodrigo Faria, who broke down crying under a dogpile of teammates on the Spartan Stadium sod.

All the "postseason epic" comparisons are apt. This was the Bills coming from 32 points down to beat the Oilers (with ace passer Richard Mulrooney playing Frank Reich). This was MLS' version of the Chargers over the Dolphins (with the exhausted Brian Mullan playing Kellen Winslow). This was better than Stallone's penalty-kick save in Victory.

Teams: Denver Broncos @ Kansas City Chiefs

Where: Arrowhead Stadium: Kansas City, Missouri

What Happend: Pete Stoyanovich kicked a 54 yard field goal to beat Elway and the Broncos

When: November 16, 1997

By RICK DEAN
The Topeka Capital-Journal

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Shannon Sharpe flexed too soon.

After catching a 5-yard touchdown pass that gave Denver its second score on its second possession Sunday against the Chiefs, the Broncos' Pro Bowl tight end went for the taunting trifecta. He did Andre Rison's Spiderman climb on the goal post, mocked Mark McMillian's Mighty Mouse flex and then finished his performance with the traditional Denver Broncos salute.

Kansas City's defenders could only watch in disgust.

"I wanted to grab the goal post and wrap it around his head," Chiefs linebacker Anthony Davis said.

And Sharpe's taunt wasn't even the worst part.

"That didn't (tick) me off as much as the fact that they were running the ball up our (tails)," added cornerback James Hasty.

But the Chiefs, who trailed 13-0 after Denver scored on three straight possessions, got the last laugh this day.

When it was over, Sharpe could only watch as Pete Stoyanovich was carried off the field by a swarm of teammates after his 54-yard field goal on the game's final play capped a last-minute comeback and staked the Chiefs to a heart-stopping 24-22 upset of the AFC West Division-leading Broncos.

"They're not doing any muscle flexing in Denver now," said Rison, who caught two huge passes for 22 yards in the game-winning 36-yard drive that followed Jason Elam's fifth field goal, a 35-yarder that gave Denver a 22-21 lead with just one minute left.

This improbable Kansas City victory, which closes Denver's division lead to a mere game, had no shortage of heroes.

The ultimate one was Stoyanovich, who kicked his longest field goal since his 58-yarder in Miami helped beat Kansas City in a 1990 playoff game.

Throw in Rich Gannon, a beleaguered hero who had completed only 7 of 16 passes for 57 yards prior to getting the ball for one last opportunity at his own 27. Gannon completed four passes for 41 yards in the drive that moved the Chiefs to the Denver 37 and put Stoyanovich in position for the long try.

"That's been our trademark all season -- finding a way to win -- even though we were ugly on offense," said Gannon, making his second start in the absence of Elvis Grbac.

Kansas City came into this game knowing its offense couldn't outgun the NFL's top-scoring offense, so special teams and defense did their part in contributing to the victory.

Down 13-0 with 6:27 left in the first half, Tamarick Vanover gave Kansas City its first spark with a 77-yard kickoff return to the Denver 18. It took only three plays -- the biggest a Gannon scramble for 12 yards -- before Marcus Allen got the first of his two TDs to cut the deficit to 13-7.

"They'd been pinching us earlier and were coming down fast on that side, so we swung the wedge to that area, cleared them out and it was open," Vanover said. "You could have run it through that hole."

Vanover was prominent again minutes later.

With the Denver lead cut to 13-7, back-to-back sacks by Tom Barndt and Derrick Thomas forced a punt from the Broncos 25 that Vanover returned 18 yards to the Denver 45. Allen ran twice for 15 yards and Rison drew a 24-yard pass interference penalty from Ray Crockett to set up Gannon's 5-yard TD pass to Danan Hughes and a 14-13 lead with 1:08 left before halftime.

The Chiefs' biggest turnaround, however, came on defense.

After seeing NFL rushing leader Terrell Davis race through them for 108 first-half yards on 19 carries, the Chiefs -- outgained 214-94 in the first half -- limited Davis to only 19 yards on 15 carries in the second half.

"Just like our last three games, teams have gotten us all confused at the beginning of the game," said second-year linebacker Donnie Edwards. "Today they had Shannon Sharpe lined up at wide receiver and it messed us up in terms of our assignments when our young players saw formations we'd never seen before.

"But we adjusted just like we did against Pittsburgh and Jacksonville. Once we made those adjustments, it's evident how good this defense can play."

Edwards got the turnaround started in the third quarter when he sacked and stripped Elway, and recovered the fumble at the Denver 36. Five plays and another pass interference penalty later, Allen scored from the 1 and KC had a 21-13 lead midway through the third period.

That still left a lot of time for Elway. He drove the Broncos 35 yards for a 38-yard Elam field goal on the ensuing possession, then went another 49 yards on 10 plays for the 28-yard kick that cut the KC lead to 21-19 with 14:14 left to play.

When the Chiefs managed to kill only 3:11 of the game's final 5:11, Elway had all the time he needed. He and Willie Green burned McMillian three straight times -- two passes for 38 yards and a pass interference call for another 22 -- to put Elam in position for his 35-yard kick and a 22-21 lead with one minute left.

It was a patented fourth-quarter Elway drive. Only this time, he left too much time on the clock.

"We didn't do things pretty, we just went out and did the best we could," Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer said. "In my opinion, you can never underestimate the power of human will."

Teams: Toronto Raptors @ Detroit Pistons

Where: The Palace in Auburn Hills

What Happend: Game 5 (Best of 5 Series) Eastern Conf. 1st round. Pistons win by 2 after Chris Childs bricks the final 3 pointer with a few seconds remaining, and the Raps are booted from the Playoffs. The Pistons make it to the East Finals.

When: June 2002

Additional Info: Most electric atmosphere i've ever seen/heard. almost deafening! we were there to cheer for the Raps, decked out in Canadian Flags and all, and were definetely the minority. we got told to "Go Back to Canada", "Go play some hockey eh!" and of course "S*ck it you Canadians!" Fun times.

Sorry its not pros, but it was a huge game:

Teams: Unity Rockets vs. St. Joseph-Ogden Spatans

Where: St. Joseph, Illinois

What Happend: Two fierce rivals met for the Illini Central Conference Championship Game (Football). The night before, some non-football players took rock salt to the Spartan Field and spray painted the home team's locker room. The game was the two best teams in the area and nearly 3000 people showed up to a game played by schools who's population was about 300 each. The Final Score: Unity won 2-0. I played for Unity.

When: 1997

Additional Info: The entire game was played between the 30's. Defensive Battle. A first half punt attempt's snap by SJO went over the punter's head and though the endzone. No more scoring took place, last second knockdown in the endzone by Unity to secure the win.

With everything else surounding the game, it was an incredible experience. I mean, our schools hate each other as much as any other HS rivalry goes. The rivalry is in all sports because both of us were very good in everything, but football was the marquee match-up. Conference every year came down to the last game of the year between us.

Its not pro, but it was the most intense and fun game I've ever been to. Plus, have you ever heard of a game between 2 good teams ending in a score of 2-0? Headlines in the papers the next day were "Two Good!"

Teams: Oakland Raiders at New England Patriots

Where: Foxboro Stadium (Final Game Ever)

What Happened: Ah the infamous "Tuck Rule" Game. As every avid Patriots fan knows, in that game in the 4th quarter after a Vinatieri field goal to bring the game 13-10 Raiders, and after a Raider 3 and out, Tom Brady takes the Patriots and begins marching them downfield for the tying kick. However on one play, Charles Woodson came around on Brady and knocked the ball out:

A fumble right? well according to the referee Walt Coleman, the arm was in motion and was not being tucked away as seen at normal speed. The call was overturned, Vinatieri scored the tying kick and then the winning kick in the driving snow . and the rest is history

When: January 19, 2002

Additional Notes: this was actually my first NFL game ever and wow. from the shot of Vinatieri my seats were waaaaaaaaay to the left and waaaaaaaay up in the mid-nosebleeds

[Mac6674]

That tuck rule call was a joke.

Best game I ever went to was the Jets/Dolphins Monday nighter, in 2003, I believe. The Jets were down 23 points twice and came back to win in OT. Jumbo Elliott caught a TD pass right in front of my seats. The funny thing is that every time the Jets would get the ball, my dad and I would say, "If they don't score this possession, let's go home." We ended up staying for the entire game.

The most significant game I ever went to was the day Cal Ripken ended the streak. My friends (all Yankee fans) and I (Oriole fan) went to Baltimore to catch a Sunday night Yankees/O's game. We were there by noon, spent the entire day watching football at a couple of bars, and staggered our way into the stadium, where I noticed the lack of a certain #8 in the home lineup. From our seats, we couldn't see the Yankee dugout, but we watched Jeter step out of the box and start clapping, and the place just went nuts. That was cool.

Nikolai Khabibulin makes outstanding blocker save on Jordan Leopold, Flames would not seriously threaten again.

[HatCityEnforcer]

Teams: Hartford Wolfpack & Providence Bruins

Where: Hartford Civic Center

What Happened: Game 7 of the 2000 AHL Eastern Conference Finals. Hartford, the #1 seed and top team in the A all season long finds itself down 3-1 in the series after 4 games. The team rallies to win Game 5 on 2 late goals and then goes into a hostile Dunkin Donuts Center (it was still the Providence Civic Center at the time) and wins a key Game 6 to force Game 7.

The Pack got on the board first with a goal from Brad Smyth, only to see the Bruins get 2 quick ones to take a 2-1 lead (for the life of me, I don't remember who scored for the P-Bruins).

Dejection starts to spread in the stands as the 3rd period advances along...John Grahame is stopping just about everything the Pack can throw at him...it looks like the dream is about to end..

Then, Derek Armstrong rips a shot from the point, and it gets deflected by PJ Stock...the puck dipped on Grahame and found the back of the net...TIE GAME....Grahame and JF Labbe trade saves down the stretch and it ends up tied...OVERTIME.

Before the start of OT, a few friends of mine and I decided to make predictions on who'd get the winner for the Pack....most of them chose scorers like Armstrong or Smyth...I went in a different direction. My exact words, "It's all about karma...I'm taking Terry Virtue to burn his old team."...now Terry Virtue wasn't known for his scoring, but he was a huge part of the P-Bruins Calder Cup win the year before...

So, OT opens...the Bruins get some pressure, but Labbe stands tall...then the Pack got it into the B's zone...Johan Witehall takes a shot from the slot. Grahame stops it but left a rebound....and TERRY VIRTUE pounces all over it and buries it into the net. Game Over. Series Over. The Mall EXPLODES! I'd been to many a Whaler game there, but it was NEVER as loud as it was when Virtue buried that shot.

Needless to say, the Pack went on to beat Rochester in 6 and take the Calder Cup that year....but the game 7 vs. Providence will live forever...

Final score: 31-28, and the only day in my life that I've ever rooted for the Saints. And while I lived in MS and went to Saints games (normally to boo the hell out of them while wearing Falcons gear), never before have I heard the Superdome go crazy like they did when he muffed that punt. It was like an airplane taking off

PARTY LINE

Tigert's free throw puts UWM in NCAA tournament

By DAN MANOYAN

This time, the nets didn't stand a chance.

The twine at opposite ends of the U.S. Cellular Arena had been living on borrowed time since UW-Milwaukee wrapped up its second consecutive Horizon League championship on Feb. 16. On Tuesday night, before a national television audience and a UWM record sellout crowd of 10,783, the Panthers reached their stated goal - a return to the NCAA tournament - with a 59-58 victory over Detroit in the money game of the Horizon League tournament.

In the post-game celebration, which saw a tsunami of yellow engulf the court, the defenseless nets eventually suffered their inevitable fate. The Panthers, whose stated mantra from Day 1 has been, "Still not satisfied," were on their way back to college basketball's promised land.

"The crowd is the story of this game," Panthers coach Bruce Pearl said. "We're going dancing."

As it turns out, the Panthers needed every last fan, not to mention every last basket and every last free throw. In what could only be termed supreme irony, the Panthers, in the person of Adrian Tigert, won the game at the unlikeliest of places.

At the free throw line.

The Panthers were just 13 for 24 from the free throw line on the night, but it was lucky 13 that decided the game. With about 7 seconds left, Tigert, who scored just five points on the night, saw an opening to the hoop, put on a spin move and was fouled hard by Ryvon Covile.

Tigert missed the first but converted the second with 4.2 seconds left, breaking a 58-58 tie and providing the margin of victory.

"That free throw was for everybody in the program and for every UWM fan in the city," Tigert said. "There wasn't any other option except for me to make it."

Detroit passed inbounds to their main man, Brandon Cotton, who took it coast to coast, putting up a running jumper with Boo Davis' hand in his face at the free-throw line that clanged off the rim as the buzzer sounded. Cotton finished with a game-high 21 points.

"It felt good finally cutting down the nets because we didn't want to do it after we won the league," said Joah Tucker, whose 15 points were second only to Ed McCants' 18 for the Panthers. "We savored it tonight. It felt much better doing it tonight."

Pearl, who will be taking UWM back to the tournament for the second time in three years, felt fortunate to escape with the victory.

"We deserved the championship but I'm not sure we deserved to win this game," said Pearl, who saw his team improve to 24-5, tying a school record for victories. "This team refused to lose.

"It didn't seem like we had any pop tonight."

From an offensive standpoint, it was among the Panthers' worst games of the year, but then the Titans, the No. 1 defensive team in the Horizon League, had a little something to do with that. The Panthers, who shot 44.8% during the season, shot just 38.3% on this night, an ugly 18 for 47.

But nothing was uglier than the Panthers' free-throw shooting.

"It was like deja vu from last year," said Panthers associate head coach Tony Jones, referring to the Panthers' 8-for-20 effort last year in the championship game, a 65-62 loss to Illinois-Chicago. "Detroit controlled the game, but our kids wouldn't be denied. Joah made a couple clutch free throws and Adrian made the one we needed."

Indeed, Detroit controlled the game from the opening minutes until Tigert's free throw. The Titans, who finished at 14-16, led by 58-55 after Cotton's drive to the basket at the 2:39 mark. The Panthers finally pulled into a tie at 58-58 with 55 seconds left on Tucker's two free throws.

"I told him, he's not a man if he doesn't make those free throws," Tigert said. "Literally, that's what I told him."

Covile missed a pair of free throws with 28 seconds left, following Chris Hill's fifth foul, setting the stage for Tigert.

"I thought we were going to win the whole game," said Tucker, who earned tournament MVP honors. "I felt we were choking a little bit at the line, but I still knew we were going to make it."

My thoughts: It was an ugly game, but riveting the whole way. I was on the floor right behind the bench, the Arena was packed to capacity and crazy. When Cotton's shot got deflected, first thing I did was leap over the bench onto the floor. If you've never stormed the floor of a college basketball game, it's insane. Afterwards, the infamous champagne celebration that infuriated Bill Platschke on Around The Horn the next day happened, and I was indeed there. plop was unforgettable.

Bill Plaschke can go fornicate himself with an iron stick

I was at that game, too. I took my younger brother and one of his friends, an as a UWM alum, I'm more than willing to convert young Marquette fans to Milwaukee's real college basketball team. If you stormed the court, I take it you were in the student section (or very close to it), I was up in the third level of seats (high up, but the Cell has some of the best sight lines for an arena that old)...
