Still remember watching that game still get that excited . A wonderful moment
My favorite sporting event of all-time. It meant a lot to me in ‘80 when I was 10 and still does. Tears of joy.
The Olympics will never be the same…but that memory lives forever!
Remember it like it was yesterday... I was in 5th grade and sitting in my grandmother's living room watching a game show called... Joker, Joker, Joker! The show was abruptly cut out and Keith Martin from WBRE was sitting in his studio chair. On the background studio TV it read United States 4 Soviet Union 3 Final. Well, my first reaction was they did a whole lot better than anyone ever thought... Then, wait... They won? WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The game was not shown live so, I had to wait until I think 8 that night to watch the replay. To this day when I hear Al Michaels scream... Do you believe in miracales? I start to cry,
Simply the greatest moment in sports history and a turning point in the Cold War…could use something like that now…
Kurt Russell was more Herb Brooks than Herb Brooks. That mvtherfvcker deserved an Oscar for that performance.
I thought this thread was going to be about the new Chevy commercial.
try this one, skip to about the 8:20 mark to avoid the Michigan man and watch it to the end. If you are not crying, you are a soleless Pitter.
I too was in my Grandparents house watching the game, I can remember being in the bedroom watching it, pretty sure it was a Saturday night and I'd already had my Spaghetti and meatballs that evening, Saturdays were always pasta.. I remember jumping up and down on the bed, pure excitement and yes, can't top the Al Michaels call.
Wow. That was an excellent acceptance speech. I can’t say I’ve watched one on 15-20 year but I don’t think they are anywhere close to what Cappy said.
I’d also like to dedicate that speech to Louis FactFreeh, Judas Joyner and Judas Surma, Kenny ( and people who act like him) Frazier and all the rest of the Neanderthals who refuse to give Joseph V Paterno his due respect.
Excellent post Leinbacker!
