Top 5 Friday!

Several months ago a few of us made up some fun and quite cool "Top 5 Concert" lists.

Mine
Amy
Cool 'Rents

I thought it would be fun and cool to do more "Top 5" lists - and to do them every Friday! I mean we already have most of the other days of the week covered:

Cool Chat Monday
Positive Post Tuesday
Watercooler Wednesday

Now we have TOP FIVE FRIDAY! I'll give you the topic - you make the list and link it back here! Make sure to add the link to this post on your post! Let's blow this thing up and get the weekend started right - 'cause its Friday and you aint got nothin' else to do.

Here is today's topic:

Top 5 sporting events attended

1. 1999 UF vs. UT when Alex Brown had like 1000 sacks
2. 1988 Gator football game - Getting to watch little known Emmit Smith work his magic (can't remember which one - I mean I was 11!)
3. 1995 SEC Championship Football Game - UF vs Ark
4. 1997 UF vs FSU - with Doug Johnson's huge pass to win the game
5. 1996 Gator Football Home Schedule - Can you really pick one?

Yeah, so it turns out I'm a little partial to the Gators....

Your turn. Ready? Go!

1. 1999 'Bama @ UF -- "The Stomp in the Swamp" -- 'Bama ends Gators' home-winning streak & ruins their #3 national ranking, winning in overtime 40-39.

2. 2005 U.S. Open Saturday & Sunday rounds at Pinehurst

3. '05 Braves/Marlins game where Andruw Jones hit a homerun & Smoltz pitched a complete game shutout.

4. Last Thursday -- extra innings Braves/Cubs game at Wrigley ended when a Braves pitcher plunked a Cubs batter with the bases loaded.

5. 1990 Sugar Bowl -- Alabama vs. Miami. Alabama ended up on the losing end & Miami was the eventual National Champion, but it was a cool game @ a cool locale.
