Boise State lost in its bid to have the greatest highlight of all-time, thanks to ESPN voters who don't know the difference between great moments and great highlights.
In the voting for ESPN's Greatest Highlight, Mike Eruzione's goal in the Miracle on Ice took 59% of the votes to win the title. Boise State's Fiesta Bowl finished a respectable second place, having beaten a Michael Jordan buzzerbeater, the Cal-Stanford band play, and Doug Flutie's miracle Hail Mary to make it to the finals.

I can live with the second greatest highlight of all time.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I seriously don't think that poll actually measured the greatest "highlight". I think it more measured the greatest game or event.
Either way, 2nd place ain't too shabby.
