Re: Are their any sports clips / events that make you choke up every time?

Billy Mills winning the 10,000 meter run at the Olympics. His underdog status, the final sprint, and the announcers' ballistic calls make it thrilling.

You are the pollster: 0-Loss vs. 1-Loss Debate

Re: If Rutgers Wins out
