Well, this is certainly an interesting thread and I had to share my own as well. When you've been to an Auburn-Alabama football game, (which IS the greatest rivalry in ALL of college sports, ladies and gentlemen!) very little else compares, however......

In 2005, I was trying to get over the break-up of my would-be fiance and took the money I had saved for an engagement ring and went with a couple of buddies on a road trip...to Europe. While in Paris, I had the pleasure of sitting in Court Phillipe Chatrier (Center Court) at Roland Garros for the French Open. This was one of the Majors, guys, and as one of the VERY FEW Americans in attendance, we were so proud to cheer for Roddick and Agassi. As sad as it may be, the match that Agassi lost that day would turn out to be his final match he ever played at Roland Garros, but it would such an emotional moment to cheer my tennis hero off one of the grandest stages in the sport as his fellow countryman. Thanks for bringing back some memories with this thread, guys!
