Again, these are local Detroit/Michigan games...
21. Lions: 20 Dallas: 17 (September 19, 1994): On a Monday night, the Lions beat the two-time Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys. People went nuts and thought the Lions time had arrived.
22. Bulls: 115 Pistons: 94 (May 27, 1991): The two-time NBA Champion Pistons got old quick. The Bulls swept them in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals after being whipped by the Bad Boys every year. This game is notable for the controversy following the game. The Pistons walked off the court and did not congratulate the Bulls. The reason? Michael Jordan claimed he was doing the NBA a favor by knocking off the thuggish Pistons. Nowadays, people barely remember Michael.
23. Red Sox: 4 Tigers: 0 (September 18, 1996): In a lousy season for both Clemens and the Tigers, the Rocket came with his A game and whiffed 20. Alan Trammell would retire at the end of the year, Clemens moved on to Toronto and won two Cy Young Awards, and the Tigers finished under .500 for the next 10 years.
24. Spartans: 28 Wolverines: 27 (October 13, 1990): Michigan scored late to make it 28-27 and went for 2. Spartan defender Eddie Brown mugged Desmond Howard, but no call was made. State wins and Michigan loses the #1 ranking.
25. CMU: 24 MSU: 20 (September 12,1992): Just to prove a point, CMU beat MSU for the second year in a row. What a night in Mt. Pleasant that was!
