I definitely got a bit teary-eyed after the NC game.
Dotting the I always get to me, too.

A couple others:
When Derek Redmond tore his hamstring at the Barcelona Olympics and his father came out to help him finish the race. My eyes are tearing up and I'm getting chills just thinking about it.:sob:
When Maurice Cheeks helped the young girl finish the national anthem when she forgot the words. :cry:

NC game (every time I watch it)

1992 OSU-Michigan game: My father passed away a few months before this game, and it was the only year he won tickets to a Michigan game through the alumni lottery. My brother and I went, and I think we cried during the entire game.

In high school I cried when our team lost the state football championship my junior year, and I cried when we won the state softball championship my senior year.

I'm sure there are many more. :biggrin:

Yeah. These both get me every time, too. Except when Maurice Cheeks helped the girl out with the national anthem, I just got chills, moreso than anything.

How about "Miracle" against the Soviet Union?
That one gets me, every time, too.

I was choked up after the Holy Buckeye game at Purdue and the Fiesta win over Miami.

Ditto for both of those.

Also after the 1976 Rose Bowl, when Archie, Corny and the guys lost their last chance at an NC, to a team they'd already defeated in LA by 3 TD's.

I was only twelve years old when "Holy Buckeye" occurred, and I realized that it kept our championship run alive. However, it took me a few years to realize the actual significance of the play. Listening to Brent Musburger scream and yell about the sheer maginficence of the play and seeing scarlet and gray rejoicing everywhere.... Ahh, it gets me every time.

Good call on that. One I definitely wish I had been able to see live.

A couple other emotional moments:
The night Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's record. The jog around the field definitely had me going.
Kerri Strug sticking the landing at the '96 Olympics, thinking it was to win the gold medal.
