Written by Brent Yarina, BTN.comFor no particular reason, I got to thinking today about the best/coolest sporting event/moment I have witnessed in person. The first thing that came to mind was being at Wrigley Field for Game 7 of the 2003 NLCS. The prospect of watching the Cubs celebrate a long-awaited World Series berth right in front of me made this night extra special, and it only got better when my favorite player, Kerry Wood, drilled a three-run home run. We all know how that game turned out, though. No need to open old wounds. That said, see my Twitter followers’ answers in this post.
@BTNBrentYarina Purdue's win over OSU this year in Mackey. I had my 5 year old daughter with me, and it was a moment I will forever cherish.—

@BTNBrentYarina I was at the 2001 Rose Bowl to see Purdue. I guess it is proof that it can actually happen for us.—

@BTNBrentYarina Michigan AT Oregon in 2003. Oregon upset #3(?) Michigan 31-27. Huge win for a still developing program. And it was LOUD.—
