Boise State beating Oklahoma 43-42 in the Fiesta Bowl in OT, and how they did it down the stretch, plus the impromptu wedding proposal, probably ranks #1 for me in the College Football division.

Joey Chestnut defending his title and eating a record 72 hot dogs at the 2017 Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island.
He really showed us something that day. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

It definitely brought reactions to several body parts while viewing this, but my eyes were not among them.

PN, I was just going to mention that Fiesta Bowl. Exciting all the way through, with the Broncos shocking the Sooners early, the AP-led comeback, and the storybook ending for Boise.

I'm also going to add when sailor Gal Fridman was at the medal podium at the 2004 Athens Olympics, winning Israel's first ever gold medal, when the national anthem (HaTikvah) was played. That was extremely emotional for many of us (I was watching the live Israeli feed at the time, along with the Israeli security guards where I worked), and I was really tearing up.

A Tal Brody moment.
"Anachnu Al Hamapa"--a made up phrase, chanted in his all too American-accented Hebrew, which endeared him to Israelis forever.
