What are you biggest sporting regrets?
Its a slow Monday...NOTHING else going on...so I thought this might be a fun topic.
Can be ANY sporting regrets - things you wish you'd done or seen, games you wish you had attended, etc. No rules - as long as its sporting related.
I have three:
1. I was THISCLOSE to buying tickets to the BYU/ bball game at the Huntsman center, but didn't end up going. And I missed the best 1/2 of bball by any player in BYU history. Wish I had gone.
2. I never saw Michael Jordan play live. Never went to a Bulls game at the Delta Center. So even though I was an adult for about 1/2 of his playing career, AND I live in an NBA town, I never saw the greatest BBall player ever play live. Wish I had.
Your turn.

Re: What are you biggest sporting regrets?
My biggest BYU sport regret is this:
I was invited by my best friend to go to Lavell Edwards final game at Cougar Stadium the one where they renamed the Stadium and had all the fanfare for Lavell.It happened that I had to work that day and felt some loyalty to the job so I declined the invite. That was a big mistake .A week later they canned me and just recently my friend passed away so this has always been a regret.Maybe they have Cougarcorner in heaven and maybe my friend will see this.

Re: What are you biggest sporting regrets?
Only one I can think of right now--
I wish I would have gone to the 2007 USA versus Mexico Gold Cup final in Chicago. A free one hour flight from MSP and I could have seen one of the most exciting, meaningful matches in US soccer history that culminated in this game-winning golazo:

Shoot, I guess I didn't make the rules clear enough. I meant to say anything sporting related...except for soccer!Mingjai wrote:Only one I can think of right now--

Well, you did cite an NBA-related regret, so I figured anything was fair game...Y 4 Ever wrote:Shoot, I guess I didn't make the rules clear enough. I meant to say anything sporting related...except for soccer!Mingjai wrote:Only one I can think of right now--

Re: What are you biggest sporting regrets?
Yes, but that was a pre-2000 NBA-related event. So its exempt!Mingjai wrote:Well, you did cite an NBA-related regret, so I figured anything was fair game...Y 4 Ever wrote:Shoot, I guess I didn't make the rules clear enough.
