Inspired by @MichaelStubel, I& #39;m going to relive some joy and share my 10 favorite sports memories.
Is it weird to start with a loss?
10. Following UCF& #39;s first NCAA tournament win, the Knights took #1 Duke down to the wire. My alma mater led future NBA superstar Zion Williamson by three with 15 seconds to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOAmx8qs66s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

9. The & #39;03/04 Carolina Panthers had to make the list.
In a divisional playoff game, Steve Smith scores a 69-yard touchdown on the first play of double overtime to upset the St. Louis Rams.

8. Liverpool, seeking its first domestic title in 30 years, had a pivotal matchup against back-to-back reigning champion Manchester City in November 2019. The result? Utter destruction. Liverpool is currently two wins from clinching the Premier League. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVlgHmeZjpc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
7. Growing up an Ohio State fan, beating M*chigan mattered more than any bowl game. The Game is rarely competitive anymore, but Ohio State won the first-ever OT battle between the sides in a 2016 thriller. The Buckeyes were down 10 with 16 minutes to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS0sTxihgeE">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
6. Well, almost any bowl game. Ohio State got the proverbial SEC monkey off its back with a win against Alabama in the first-ever college football playoff. Ezekiel Elliott sealed the game with an electrifying run. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9WwaeV9IoA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
5. My favorite professional football memory came in January 2016. The Panthers obliterated the Cardinals in an NFC Championship Game that I thought would decide the Super Bowl champ (it didn& #39;t!). Still, Cam Newton was extraordinary and I was beside myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFIGJiA1zc8">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
4. No game on this list is quite as much of an emotional roller coaster as UCF& #39;s 2017 matchup against USF. The rivalry& #39;s best game was a 49-42 shootout with a go-ahead kick return TD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRrHLuZRBeU">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
3. Liverpool outplayed Barcelona in the first leg of last year& #39;s Champions League semi-final. They still lost 3-0. Coming back to Anfield, they needed to beat Messi& #39;s Barça squad 4-0 without Mo Salah. They did just that. "CORNER TAKEN QUICKLY, ORIGI!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NhlXGMDNq4">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
2. UCF, robbed of a shot at the college football playoff, faced Auburn in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in 2018. Auburn, the only team to defeat eventual-playoff-winner Alabama, couldn& #39;t beat the Knights. UCF AD Danny White named the team National Champions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uobit7kWHJY">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
1. What else could it be? Down 3-1, my favorite athlete put a team (and a city) on his back to steal a title from one of the greatest teams in NBA history. Game 7. The Block. The Shot. An iconic game and a historic series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxv5h-RZWVs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
