	nice idea but the format is annoying, for example the 2007 fiesta bowl you have to type out state. Also I would have made it so you guess the winner and loser individually. Also the lack of this years Wimbledon while not your fault is shameful.

	JeffB:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 03:45 GMT	11 points
	Connecticut as well as UConn should be acceptable.

	the99:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 03:54 GMT	1 point
	Also, accept alternate order for a few of these i.e. accept USC vs Texas

	MikeySRT:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 04:55 GMT	3 points
	2006 afc championship doesnt make sense should say 2007 bc the colts won in 07

	NJScouser:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 05:03 GMT	1 point
	Liverpool! By far the best game on this list. YNWA.

	hscer:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 05:21 GMT	4 points
	Agreed with JeffB; Connecticut was my first guess for the George Mason game, I knew one of theirs would be there. Also who is going to remember who Phelps beat, or Woods (at least May, I almost remembered Mediate). If you accept Lance Armstrong accept Tiger Woods and Michael Phelps.

	mrpete12583:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 05:23 GMT	2 points
	In addition to accepting Woods vs May and the suggested Tiger Woods, you should also accept Tiger Woods vs Bob May.

Comment below threshold: show it

	@MikeySRT: Changing the AFC championship date would be changing the format of the quiz. In order to place it chronologically, all the dates would have to be for a certain season. For example, 06-07 football or even 02-03 Fiesta bowl. Its simply too confusing to do it that way. Good quiz though.

	@bsd987: Wow, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? I mean, sure there are some flaws, but taking it offline? Ouch!

	JohnJF:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 06:33 GMT	2 points
	I definitely don't hate this quiz as much as other seem to. The main problem is how it deals with individual sports. Lance Armstrong was the right way to do it (though Armstrong ought to be accepted): it would be just as well to say Tiger Woods or Michael Phelps vs. everyone else.

	maniacalclown:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 09:16 GMT	3 points
	in addition to the previous points, the Texas vs Texas Tech game should not be referred to as the Lone Star Shootout. That is a trademarked name for the Texas vs Texas A&M match-up and is not used otherwise. I don't believe there is a specific name given to the Texas vs Texas Tech game, but I could be wrong.

	bmo1616:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 10:09 GMT	1 point
	I got 19 of 25 with no problems, I thought it was a good quiz in my opinion. As a Boston/UConn fan, lots of wonderful and terrible memories on this list.

	thebus:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 13:08 GMT	-4 points
	George Mason is also referred to as just "Mason", that should be an acceptable answer.

	mkdmal:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 14:39 GMT	-3 points
	Doesn't accept answers for some if the names are reversed, eg it won't accept Federer vs Nadal but will accept Nadal vs Federer. Good quiz all the same.

	nwaldrip:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 15:40 GMT	1 point
	Good quiz. Good idea too. At first, I was wondering if the formatting was tough or something could change. But I think I just had a lack of knowledge for certain times/sports.

	NCBerge:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 15:43 GMT	0 points
	@ mkamal: He clearly wants winner vs. loser. As much as I wish Federer won, it did not happen.

	NCBerge:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 15:49 GMT	0 points
	Also, a glaring omission is Diego Corrales vs. Jose Luis Castillo I. That fight is pretty much universally accepted as the best fight of the decade. Besides Nadal v. Federer, I don't think any other event can claim to be universally accepted as the best in their sport.

	bmo1616:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 16:09 GMT	0 points
	@NCBerge, no1 cares about boxing anymore. Any sport where it's more expensive to watch it on television than it is to go to another sport's game in person sucks in my opinion.

	robbie_keane:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 16:34 GMT	-3 points
	BOO

	chazzykc:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 16:41 GMT	2 points
	When it would not accept my first five (correct) answers I punted. It should not be neccessary to type "Vs".....it is assumed in your title that these are games between teams or individuals. "Steelers cardinals" should be correct.

	Lumbee09:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 17:18 GMT	1 point
	need to allow alternate answers besides exactly what you typed. People know half of these answers and miss them because they dont know how you formatted them.

	shoesler:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 17:27 GMT	3 points
	i spent five minutes typing in every big east matchup i could think of, when i got it right the first time typing connecticut. VERY ANNOYING. change that.

	qbsamoa:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	2 points
	why do we have to type VS? it should just be type in the two teams in any order with no "vs"

	Blaise:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 19:50 GMT	1 point
	Twins vs. Tigers in the one game playoff game was an AMAZING game. Haven't seen many of these games but I think a bunch of extra inning go ahead runs and a walk off hit to win the AL Central title is a pretty big deal...

	NCBerge:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 21:10 GMT	1 point
	@bmo: 2009 is the highest grossing year in boxing history. The Cowboys just bid $25 million to host a fight. Odds are very good that the athlete who makes the most money in 2010 will be the winner of the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. If that type of money is involved in a sport nobody cares about, then I wish nobody cared about me.

	DannyJ:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT	0 points
	something is wrong with memphis vs kansas i typed it and it didnt get accepted

	BullFan999:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 22:49 GMT	1 point
	some games i would add: twins tigers 2009 1 game playoff, white sox astros 2005 world series game 3, and 2003 west. conf. finals when fisher hit that buzzer beater. obviously this was espn's rankings,i am not telling you off lol

	fatbeard:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 23:20 GMT	2 points
	@dannyj, that's because Memphis lost

	batmann:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 00:04 GMT	1 point
	hahaha syracuse/uconn game was amazing i remember that

	ted:	Dec 16th, 2009 at 03:10 GMT	1 point
	Cool quiz, but you should allow us to enter the winner and loser separately. As for the list itself, they should have included that Rams/Panthers double OT game from '04, as well as the Pats/Panthers Super Bowl.

	leftyJR3:	Apr 16th, 2010 at 20:23 GMT	1 point
	the lone star shootout is not a rivalry name at all. The Lone Star Showdown is Texas vs Texas A&M and Texas vs Oklahoma used to known as the Red River Shootout but is now known as the Red River Rivalry.
