Easy...the 1997 Rose Bowl, as I was able to celebrate the last game of my years as a student at OSU with my brother in Pasadena. The memories from that whole bowl trip are both hilarious and disturbing.

It SHOULD have been the 2003 Fiesta Bowl for me too. Alas, my mood was dampened by having been laid off the day before, which was also the day that my son came home from the hospital for the first time (after 12 and 1/2 days in the NICU) with a $50K bill.
My favorite memory is, oddly enough, the 1984 Illinois game. This surprises me, as I was there the following year when we beat #1 Iowa. For some reason, being there for the comeback, Byars' performance and the finish was absolutely incredible.
As long as I live, I will never forget turning to my little brother after Byars scored that last touchdown. We were too fired up to high five. We just stood there vibrating, shouting in each others' faces and shaking our fists. One of my most vivid memories is the image of my brother's face, screaming with tears in his eyes.
Unforgetable.

My favorite sports memories:
#1) 1997 Apple Cup. My father and I went to the game at Husky Stadium. A win would send the Cougs to their first Rose Bowl since 1931, Cougar fans all around the state were willing to pay nearly any price to get a ticket. WSU won 42-35 and Cougar fans streamed on to the field as time expired. Fans and players celebrated a day many of us wondered if we would ever see.
#2) 2003 Rose Bowl WSU v. Oklahoma. Even though the Cougs got killed in this game it is a bittersweet memory as it was the last Cougar game that my father and I went to. A few weeks later he had a stroke and in five months he was dead from a brain tumor. Now and again I'll wear one of my '03 Rose Bowl shirts and for a fleeting instant he almost seems to be there with me.
#3) Sept. 3, 2003 WSU v. New Mexico. The game itself was of little consequence, the Cougs did win, but mainly I remember it because it was part of a wonderful two week road trip that I took with my wife and kids. In addition to the game we took them to Disneyland, the Carlsbad Caverns as well as the State Line Barbeque in El Paso. It also was the first Cougar game for the twins who were in utero at the time and were born three months later.
My earliest sports memory:
February 1974 my parents took me to my first Seattle Super Sonic game. The Sonics opponent that day was the Buffalo Braves who had the league's leading scorer at the time, Bob McAdoo. Unfortunately Buffalo won.
Projected future sports memory
2009: WSU v. tOSU in the newly renovated and enlarged Martin Stadium in Pullman. WSU pulls the shocking upset and gets its first victory over the Buckeyes after eight failed attempts in the past. The victory launches a successful '09 Cougar football season which ends with a victory in the '10 Rose Bowl!

4th and goal for Da "U".
My cousin, Spielman36 to y'all, is positioned across the living room (despite being almost 100lbs. lighter than me) ready to dive at me if the play falls short.
Cie Grant comes off the end, grabs Dorsey, and the pass is INCOMPLETE!
I get smashed against the wall, my family is going ape-shit.
I am but 26 years old. My cousin is 30. We waited that long to have this moment.
We then go outside to Hudson Ave. in NERK and wave a giant buckeye flag as people drive by.
Just thinking of that moment makes me more home-sick than I have been in the 8 months I have been here.

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Favorite memories of games that I attended:
1. The 2006 Ohio State #1 - Michigan #2 game. Maybe the greatest game ever in Ohio Stadium.
2. In 1961 my dad took me to Cleveland to see a doubleheader with the Yankees; and both Mantle and Maris hit a home run. That was the year both of them were chasing Babe Ruth's record and Maris ended up with 61
3. The 1997 Rose Bowl. Fantastic comeback win over ASU.

Hall of Fame
I'm not even sure of the year but it was one of the ND games in the 90's. My first Buckeye game at Fishmo's is St. Henry. Absolutely crazy a whole bar full of drunken red jimmies screaming about, yes I'm gonna say it, Bobby Hoying. My dad told me before we went in, "this place is going to be loud, we're gonna be here for 4 hours, you can't leave with friends, and you're gonna root for the team in red." I later learned it was scarlet, but from that day forward I have had a really heavy Buckeye addiction. Go Bucks!

Green Bay memory
When I was a boy age 11, my dad took me to the PGA tournament in Dayton. We went to the practice rounds. I got a ton of autographs. Jack, Lee Trevino, Gary Player and tons more. I asked Arnold Palmer for his, he was finishing up and had more important things to do than talk to a little guy like me. However, he said to me. "I have to get to the clubhouse right now, but why don't you ride in the cart with me and I'll sign it there." I looked over at my dad and he just nodded. I got in the back with the clubs and rode over and sure enough he gave me an autograph and patted me on the head and said. "You'd better get back to your family now." I will never forget that.
Even though I mistakenly put Green Bay in the title, I had intended to tell everyone that I met Ray Nitschke when I was little and he scared the bejeebers out of me. He was scary to me when I was little. Instead I put the golf memory.
