SI's list of top 100 sports moments of all time - No App

Unread post by 85gradinATL » Tue Mar 08, 2016 11:17 am

SI has released their list of the top 100 sports moments of all time. App - Michigan did not make the list. Boise St. beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl is #100.

Not surprised........and FCS beating a top 10 ranked FBS is certainly bigger than the BSU over Oklahoma with same number of scholarships and same division in bowl game. SI has given the App upset great coverage in the past so I'm not complaining too much, it's just a little disappointing.

These lists are impossible to get "right." Whoever created this list had some obvious bias. Ali gets THREE moments in the top 25? Seattle calling a pass and getting intercepted gets on the list?

We all know that the blocked field goal at Michigan should be on there. Personally, I think the Miracle on the Mountain should be there also....but that's MY bias. :D

Save you all some searching. I will never forget this game. I was in high school close to deciding where I wanted to go to school. App was always top on my list, but seeing this live and in person made App my only option and eventual choice. Three years later another awesome event happened at The Rock...Also involving Furman.
