Capped off by the hero RB Ian Johnson proposing to his cheerleader girlfriend. Also the fact that Boise was stiffed on the BCS because they didn't play in a "real" conference made their win over Adrian Peterson's Oklahoma that much bigger of a statement. I don't know if I'd say it was the greatest sporting events ever but it's worth a mention as one of the all-time classic bowl games for sure.That Boise State College football game about ten years ago where they ran every trick play ever invented and they all worked! It was awesome!

How about Hank Aaron breaking Babe Ruth's all-time home run record? A feat that, at the time, transcended sports considering he was a black man in the deep South amid the tensions of Civil Rights.
I'd probably pick the Miracle on Ice as the number one greatest moment considering its social impact regarding the Cold War and the David and Goliath nature of the game with Soviet pros against American college kids.
Also don't forget Jesse Owen showing up Adolf fucking Hitler and his supposed "master race" at the Olympics... in Berlin... the capital of Nazi Germany.
