What is your favorite sports moment, as a fan?
I’d say the craziest sports moment as a fan was when I was at the Oregon vs Oregon State game this past year, where Oregon State won, Oregon State was down 31-7 at half, and I was about to leave the game but decided to stay for one more Oregon State possession. I ended up watching the whole game where Oregon State came back and won from a huge deficit.
