Greatest non-Clemson moment I personally witnesses, Nixon's '92 catch over the top of the center field wall.

I cant recall the greatest moments per se...

but those that really stick with me as moments I recall exactly where I was are....
- Kordell Stewart's 73 yd (in the air) hail mary to beat Michigan,
- The Christian Laettner shot
- Jorge Soler's moonshot against the Astros in Game 6
- Kris Jenkins buzzer beater to win the NCAAT
- Scott Norwood's missed fg against the Giants in the Super Bowl
- Michael Johnson breaking the 200m sprint world record in Atlanta at the 96 Olympics
Some of those are random but really stick out.

Carolina Panthers knocking off the Dallas Cowboys in Death Valley in a playoff game I believe. Not a Panthers fan but it was great to witness that moment.
American Pharaoh winning the elusive Triple Crown.

Dolphins perfect season was 1972. That would have been #2 on my list.

Ali only fought Foreman once. He won by tricking him and ducked him the rest of his career. And it's way past your bed time if you actually remember Wilt's game.

The Mandela effect has bitten you.
Carolina played only one season at Death Valley--its inaugural (1995). Panthers didn't make the playoffs that year. They did make the playoffs in 1996 and beat the Cowboys, in Charlotte.

Excellent topic. Miracle on ice. Buster beating Tyson. Chaminade beating Virginia. Auburn returning missed FG on Bama. Gibson HR vs Eckersley. Joe Carter walk off HR in World Series. Laetner shot. Tiger winning his last Masters. Russians robbing USA in 72 Olympics basketball. Just to name a few

fights, Jack in 1986, etc. I'd add all of the fights between Sugar Ray, Hagler, Hearns & Duran. Secretariat moving like a tremendous machine. And Franz Klammer's downhill run to win gold in 1976, he had to go all out and was close to wiping out multiple times... it was incredible.
