Miami @ Florida St. this decade's best opening week rivalry. A game of two not so great teams that we've seen for the last five seasons. Wow.
Back and forth for four quarters, a stud QB performance out of Miami's Jacory Harris obliterated his career high with 386 yards and a kicker side-story?
A big hit on Harris early in the fourth led to a wobbly pass that was picked off and taken to the house for a FSU lead at home with approximately nine minutes to play. From there on Harris was a stud. He went 7-9 for 122 yards and two impressive touchdowns. One of which a scrambling bomb that he put right on the money down to the 2-yard line.
Miami steals one on the road after a goal line stand which including a great defensive play by a corner on second down and a dropped game winning touchdown on fourth down.
A game I never expected to be interested in past the first couple possessions let alone until close to 1 a.m.
A game that made me jump out of my seat at least three or four times. I don't even like either team. In fact, I hate them both! I'm a Gator.
A game that made my roommate ask if they could invent a rule for a 4-point play so it could go to overtime.

Roddick vs. Federer. Federer's 19-2 lifetime against Roddick. 19-2! Federer's shut out Roddick nine times. I'll give it a shot on a early summer Sunday morning. 7-5 6-7 6-7 6-3 14-16. 14-16!
"I don't want to go to lunch anymore man."
"Dude seriously? when's this damn match going to be over!"
"...It's not dude"
And it wasn't. Honestly, while you were watching the match, it was just as great as Federer/Nadal a year ago. I couldn't get up because it each game was decisive. Roddick had to serve nine sets facing elimination. You want to talk about absolute pressure. Incredible. Unexpected. History.

Orlando at Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Finals. It's been Cleveland's year since January. Cleveland's lost two games at home all year. Cleveland actually rocked.
And the Magic decide to have their coming out party. Devastated the entire city after stealing Game One. And nearly Game Two. First let me set the stage. Cleveland as a team and as a fan-base was in total shock after Game One. Cleveland lost two home games all season (one in OT, in a game in which no starters played).
The Cavs rout the Magic in the first half of Game One. Lebron had five highlights on the top 10 including a monster block on Dwight Howard. A 15-point halftime lead was capped off by a 75-foot Mo Williams heave at the buzzer. The Q was rocking.
The Magic shoot the lights out in the second half and after two huuuge Rashard Lewis shots in the last 30 seconds the Cavs find themselves down 0-1. Uh-Oh, it's happening again.
