All Time Sports Moment

Making it to the Rose Bowl with my whole "Purdue family" in January, 2001.

Most Memorable Game Attended

#1 has to be when Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson led Purdue over Michael Finley and Wisconsin in 1994. They traded big shot after big shot for 40 minutes. Though he won't be remembered as a great NBA player despite averaging 21 points/game in the pros, Glenn was one of the absolute BEST college players the game has seen in my lifetime. He scored with ease (30+ points/game in '94) and played with lots of heart every time out.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Cal Ripken's consecutive game streak, John Wooden (a Boilermaker) winning 9 NCAA titles at UCLA.

Ruth or Mays?

Mays - the most complete "baseball player" of all time

Unitas or Montana?

Unitas - no contest despite Montanas multiple titles Johnny U was the prototype QB.

Pele or Maradona?

Pele - the original soccer hero

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

The Big Ten - the original Collegiate Athletic Conference, where kids still actually go to class and earn real degrees, not just major in "eligibility" like they do in the SEC. (PAC 10 a close 2nd).
