Greatest Detroit Sports Moments: Barry Sanders #15

I decided for S&Gs to come up with the greatest sports moments in my life. The first 13 came to me in like 10 seconds. Naturally, I needed to round it out to 15.

#15 is simply titled Barry!

Greatest Games of the 1990s: #11-20

11. Lions: 38 Cowboys: 6 (January 5, 1992): At this point, people asked whether the Lions or Cowboys would be the next great team in the NFL. This was the high point for the Detroit Lions since 1957. Behind Eric Kramer, they won their first playoff game since Bobby Layne.

12. Wolverines: 31 Buckeyes: 23 (November 25, 1995): #2 Ohio State was undefeated, then came Tim Biakabutuka and his 313 yards. Michigan also wrecked OSU’s season in 1993 and 1996. hehe

13. North Carolina: 77 Michigan: 71 (April 5 1993): TIME OUT!

14. Lions: 13 Jets: 10 (December 21, 1997): The Lions make the playoffs and Barry hits 2000 yards. For the game, Sanders had 184 yards rushing and a TD.

15. Tigers: 10 Yankees: 3 (October 3, 1991): No one had hit 50 homers in a season since George Foster in 1978. Cecil Fielder belted #50 and 51 in this blowout. He should have been AL MVP, but lost to Rickey. His accomplishment is largely forgotten because of the numbers the roid heads put up in the steroid era

16. Colorado: 28 Michigan: 27 (September 24, 1994): The Miracle at Michigan. I missed this game and caught the highlights on TV after returning from the library.

17. Packers: 28 Lions: 24 (January 8, 1994): NFC Wild Card Game. Favre to Sharpe. Lions led 24-21 with 55 seconds to go. The worst Lions loss of my lifetime. The Wild Card Packers beat the Central Champions Lions and moved onto lose to Dallas the next week.

18. Lions: 44 Vikings: 38 (Thanksgiving, 1995): The Lions had 534 yards of total offense and Scott Mitchell threw for 410 yards and 4 Touchdowns. Three players, Johnny Morton, Brett Perriman, and Herman Moore all had over 100 receiving yards.

19. Lions: 19 Steelers: 16 (Thanksgiving, 1998): The Steelers and Lions went into overtime. The officials muffed the coin toss. The Lions got the ball after losing the toss and won the game.

20. CMU: 20 MSU: 3 (September 14, 1991): If you put the two MSU scores from 1991 and 1992 together, they still lose in 1992.
