RE: Sports Mulligans

I felt this was a great thread, but I got ZERO responses. I'll chalk it up to bad timing around the Labor Day weekend. I decided to re-post it because I'm curious to hear some comments on others' 30 years of sports memories, some live, some only in the record books.


Great discussion question on WDFN 1130 The Fan last Thursday:

If you could have one pro/college sports mulligan (from a game), what would it be? If you could make just one game disappear from your memory, what would it be?

Obviously you will name more than one.

In no particular order:

1. "The Colorado game" ("Slash" - Kordell Stewart")
2. "TIME OUT!" Oops.
3. Appalachian State (Can't wait for the 2014 rematch)
4. Isiah's pass to Larry Bird in the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals at Boston to lose the game.
5. Spartan Bob
6. UM/MSU 1990 @ Big House (The Pass Interference NOT called in the endzone on Desmond Howard)
7. 2005 NBA Finals (Rasheed Wallace not covering Robert Horry for the game winning shot)
8. Every loss to Ohio State during the Salary Cap Era
9. All of September 2009 for the Tigers
10. This is not a game, but drafting Darko.

No games come to mind right away, but I'd definitely like to undo the hiring of Bobby Williams / letting Saban go to LSU.

The last two MSU losses to Iowa would be good candidates. Not that they definitely should have won last year, but it would have been nice for them to actually show up. The previous OT loss could definitely have gone the other way.
