Fresh For 07: Top CO Sports Moments

1-Touching the plate?- The Rockies’ run only got them a one game playoff with the San Diego Padres for the NL Wild Card. In a tight game, the Padres scored twice in extra innings. Enter Padres’ uber-closer Trevor Hoffman, who the Rockies greeted in the bottom of the13th with 2 runs to tie the game, the last on a Matt Holliday triple. After an intentional walk, pinch hitter Jamey Caroll hit a shallow fly to right, Holliday tagged and maybe or maybe not scored the winning run under catcher Michael Barrett, sending Coors Field into a frenzy.

2-Buffs boot by #3 Oklahoma- This game had all the makings of a blowout when the Sooners ran out to a big halftime lead. However, the 2nd half saw the Buffs O-line open huge holes, the defense come up with big turnovers and sacks, the return game set up scores, and CU kicker Kevin Eberhart kick a game winning 47 yard FG as time expired. It provided the “signature” win that many claimed coach Dan Hawkins and the young Buffs needed.

3-Todd Helton take the Dodgers deep- A mid-September game vs the Dodgers at Coors Field usually means playing it out, but this game unofficially started the Rox remarkable run. Down two in the top of the 9th with a man on and super closer Takashi Saito on the mound, Helton took him deep over the wall. The usually reserved Helton celebrated around the bases, tossed his helmet rounding 3rd base and stomped on home as he was mobbed by teammates.

4-Crash and Byrne- In the NL Championship series, Arizona OF Eric Byrnes whined to the media how the Rockies “weren’t the better team” and they “haven’t been outplayed” despite being down 2-0. In the fourth and ultimately final game, Byrnes and his DBacks were swept away by the streaking Rockies. Byrnes had a forgettable game, crashing into the wall in left field and trying to slide into first base on what would be the last out of the game, sending the Rockies into the World Series.

5-Book End Wins- Neither of the opponents has a winning record, but the Buffs got a year end and kickoff win versus two rivals- Nebraska and Colorado State. Both were 10 am games and saw the Buffs rally for nice wins. Versus the Sheep at Invesco, the Buffs converted late in the game to send it into OT, where CB Terrence Wheatley picked off a pass in the endzone and Eberhart kicked the winner. At year’s end versus Nebraska- with a bowl berth on the line- the Buffs reeled off 27 straight 3rd quarter points to reverse a halftime deficit and earn a trip to the Independence Bowl. And there, Dan Hawkins will get to practice his now-famous rant.

6-Melo wins Gold- It might’ve only been the Tournament of the Americas, and the Argentines didn’t even have their top team, but Melo and the US dominated the entire tourney wire to wire. The squad went a perfect 10-0 and most of their games were 20+ point blowouts. Melo not only was a top scorer, but dished the ball effectively and finally showed his ability to crash the boards. Melo and the rest of the squad, including Denver native Chauncey Billups, will attempt to win Gold in Beijing in 08.

7-Black Out- The Rockies took the first two games of the NLDS in Philly, then returned home to their rabid fans and a chance to sweep the series. A power outage at Coors didn’t even slow the unbelievable streak, as starter Ubaldo Jiminez kept the Phils at bay throughout the game. Relievers Brian Fuentes and Manny Corpas shut the door late after Jeff Baker singled home the winning run in a 2-1 Rox victory.

8-Same Ol Song- Once again, the Nuggets went into the postseason on a high, putting together a nice streak in the late season. Unfortunately, Coach Karl and Co were matched up against Tim Duncan and the Spurs. Like years past, the Nugs won Game One, but then fell in four straight. They were in almost every game, and if not for a colossal brain fart and leaving Robert Horry wide open in Denver, a different series could’ve emerged.

9-Feel the Buzzzzz- CU basketball, long a forgotten stepchild of the athletic department, shed itself of the plateau it felt it had reached under coach Ricardo Patton by hiring Jeff Bzdelik. He had previously taken the Air Force Academy to the NCAA and NIT in just two years there. He promised a tough, disciplined system in Boulder, and to bring in the caliber of athletes that CU needs to compete in the Big 12.

10-Organized Chaos- The Donks went into their regular season opener in Buffalo full of confidence and easily moved the ball throughout the game. However, they had trouble actually scoring points (a trend we would see all year). A tight game came down to a late Jay Cutler drive and a in-bounds pass with less than 20 seconds. No timeouts forced the FG unit to hustle on the field with ball snapped as the clock expired and Jason Elam nailed the win.

Not so top moments: The International ceasing to operate…The Rox get shut out of the post-season awards…Travis Henry: weed and lots of kids…The Avalanche playoff streak comes to an end…Brett Favre beats the Donks on the first OT play…Todd Sauerburn being a knucklehead…David Kircus crashing a party and crashing some dude’s face…The fire drill/officiating bungle of CU at Iowa State…Darrent Williams and Damien Nash’s passing…Rasheed Wallace’s half court prayer sinks the Nuggets…the Rockies internet sales debacle...some kid gets ran over at the CSU spring game…Melo’s buddy beats the sh*t outta some guy inside a 7-11…CU settles the lawsuit from the “scandal”…DerMarr Johnson gets tased at the Purple Martini…San Diego hangs 40 on the Donks and empties the stadium at halftime…Rod Smith doesn’t play all year and doesn’t retire…Ricardo Patton is out as CU Hoops coach....Javon Walker is hurt…Beer is no longer served at CU basketball games.

the Texas Tech game was pretty good one too. Wheat was on fire in that one. not Buckwheat, but Terrence Wheatley. it might be cool to see Buckwheat play football though.

What words... super, excellent idea
And how it to paraphrase?
Excuse, that I can not participate now in discussion - it is very occupied. I will return - I will necessarily express the opinion on this question.
I think, that you commit an error. I can prove it.
Bravo, what phrase..., an excellent idea
