Unless something more noteworthy comes along (and that would take a lot), that victory (to me) will always be the most significant sports moment in history.  That's a great memory Lanny!

I don't believe in what a person would term a miracle as Moses and the parting of the Red Sea account happening today, but what happened in that momentous time when those young fresh faced American boys beat the then unbeatable Professional Soviet team was all about National pride, and not thinking, but knowing before they started this game that they could pull off the upset, they had the determination that they would not be denied.

One of the most emotional moments I've ever had watching sports.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.
