Your greatest sports moments?

[Army Frog Fan]

In all seriousness, my greatest were:

1) in 10 years of FB, I had never picked off a pass. I had two INTs in the last game I played. It wa against our rivals. The first was in the red zone. The second set up the game winning TD.

2) in 2004, I played golf outside if Fort Bragg. After 3 holes, I was 6 over. Then I went on a tear and played the next 11 holes at 1 over (2 birdies, 3 bogeys and 6 pars). Unfortunately I was 5 over on the final 4 holes to finish at a 12 over 84. But that was the beat 11 hole run I have ever had by at least 3 or 4 strokes.

My senior year in high school I shattered the backboard during a district game...unfortunately I was shooting a free throw at the time

Lots of personal memories, but since this is Frog forum I will chime in with my two greatest Frog football memories.

In 1967, as a 6 yr old, my Father took me to Austin to see the Capitol and then watch the Frogs score 18 unanswered in the 4th to beat the horns. Bubba Thornton had a big punt return to start the comeback. Vivid memory of some really mad horn fans. here is the box score- http://www.texassports.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/67/ut-tcu.htm

This past year, I returned the favor and took Dad to the Rose Bowl along with my sons. And we all know how that turned out.

When I jumped up and knocked down that pass in the Rose Bowl.....

I never claimed to be an athlete.....too blind, too small, too slow, too uncoordinated.......BUT, there was a simultaneous high and low point......Late 1980s, at Glen Garden, on a Saturday, in a tournament, I was in a foursome with three guys I did not know, but we were all about 17-18 handicappers. Through seven holes I was even par, for the first time in my life.....big thrill, heard the other guys muttering that I was a sandbagger, nto really a high handicap.....and then it poured down rain.....tourney would be resumed on Sunday, but I couldn't play then...we were going out of town on Sunday......

Grew up in Missouri.

1.) All State Swimming in 100 backstroke soph, junior, and senior years

2.) All American Water Polo senior year. Lead the team in fights and being thrown out of the game. Second in scoring (you can see where my priorities were)

3.) Won the 100 freestyle my freshman year @ TTech. I believe this was the only race that the Frogs won that year.

I got out of bed this morning without straining anything.

The first time I ever won the National Championship on PS2 I threw a 60 yard bomb from Kyle Kummer to Adrian Madise. It was like 3rd and 20, and Florida State (remember when they were relevant?) had knocked out 2 QBs already. I think I beat them like 17-13.

Among my Al Bundy feats:

* My football team won state five years in a row while I was on it, three of which I was a letterman.
* Finished 2nd in state in both shot put and discus three consecutive years. The only obstacle between me and gold was the guy who was #1 ranked nationally in both and went on to win every single national title our senior year.

I grew up in Indiana back in the "Hoosiers days". If you saw that movie I grew up in that. Half way through my soph year in hs we moved to Richardson. The kids from there played football Wendell Housley A&M, Steve Higgins Arkansas. Mike Oliver OU, Lou Brewer Tech, Andy Rooker Rice baseball and a couple who played at SMU. I was captain of my hs basketbsll team. Like me most of us had moved in from other parts of the country. I went to Tyler JC to try out and a couple weeks later I got a letter from Coach Wagstaff who said if I came there and made the team he might give me a scholarship. I thought it was a thanks for trying letter and went over and talked to the coaches at TCU. They told me if I could make the varsity they would give me a scholarship so I came to TCU. Back then we had a freshman team and I played on that. It came down to the last game of the saeson when we played Texas in Austin for the Championship. We lost by two. Our Coach Bob Walker told us if we worked and stuck together we could win the SWC. My senior year I earned a half scholarship and a letter as the manager. The last game of the season we were tied with that same Texas bunch and Baylor. We beat Baylor in Waco and Ark upset Texas and we won the SWC. We played and beat the big 8 champion KSU to go to the Final 8 in the NCAA. That was my biggest thrill to
be part of that.

My greatest moment was when I dunked ( for the first and last time) in warmups at that Texas Shorthorns/ TCU Wogs game at Gregory Gym in 1965. That led to my becoming the only guy to ever receive 3 Wog letters in the same sport.

I think for you it would have been the hookshot from the corner off a feed from Mickey McCarty? :wink:

My soph year I had been doing leg presses in the weight room trying to get to where I could dunk. One day they had some kind of award activity at the DMC and they had to take down the baskets and put chairs all over the floor fro whatever the activity was. We practiced that day at the old barn that has long since been toorn down years ago. The next day the DMC was back and we practiced there. After practice I DUNKED the ball and boy was I excited. I was pumped. There were a few players still there. They started looking and looking and looking at the rim. It turned out when the put the basket back up the guy had not cranked it all the way back up and it was about 6 inches low. when they cranked it all the way up I never was able to get it all the way up there. Bummer! :angry:

 

[Frog DJ]

I got my shot blocked on a break-away layup, and when I came back to the bench my old coach simply said, "Boy, you can't shoot, but you sure are slow."

At reunions, my teammates still laugh about that one.

Magic moment.

Go Frogs!

If you remember, I missed the hooker, and the coach took me out.

My favorite sports memory as an old man of 42 in 1997 was playing 21 against three kids at Midwestern State while finishing my masters degree. I had a heck of a fall away shot and was still pretty good at rebounds. Beat those three kids in four games. After the last game they looked at their watches and said they had to get to practice. I asked what type of practice and they said they were on the college basketball team. All starters on a team that went 17-11 that year. :tongue: Took me a month to get over those games but smiled everyday. :biggrin:

Don't know about greatest, but just some memories of specific moments in games (or before).

An Ultimate tourny in Arkansas. During one game on a muddy field, I matched up with their top guy. The call was for them to get the disk to him while the other guys stayed out of the way. I was able to shut him down the entire 10 sec count and got the disk back for our team.

A full day beginning with the fitness runs, and a couple hours different excercises, followed by an hour of defense techniques and forms, followed by sparring other black belts to finally get mine.

As a Rockets season ticket holder, our account rep called me and invited me and my guest to the opening home game to meet the team. We each got to escort a player out to mid court for their introduction among all the power dancers and confetti.

Hopefully y'all didn't have to tent camp in that awful state. And it sounds like the guy with the frisbee sucked.

Junior year at TCU playing broomball on the ice during intermission of a Ft. Worth wings game. Co-ed game. I blistered one past that Chi-O goalie for the winning goal.

No - cheap motels were the calls for these tournys. And no the guy with the disk was pretty good as well - that's why I enjoy the memory. Tough for anyone to stick to a receiver that long in any sport. Have to be just really focused in on every move.

Guess I'm a late bloomer.

Walk off grand slam in a senior league and winning the 65-69 age group in my first Ultra marathon......................

 

[FungoFrog]

Dropper 25pts and 20rbs in a 8th grade bball game against Nick Foles (AZ St QB)... But we lost and Foles had like 30.
