In no particular order, here's mine:
1. Seeing NU Purple in the end zone of the Rose Bowl. Watching Barnett nail it on the Tonight Show.
2. Watching Matt Rice beat the double team and stuff Robert Farmer to preserve the 95' win over ND.
3. Being in the stands with my sons to witness Fitz stuff Timmy B. at the goal line and Matt Hartl's TD in NU's first win over Michigan since Cadillacs had fins. Sharing the joy with the team afterwards.
4. Darnell Autry on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Double takes at reading "Powerful Northwestern" and The "Real Deal"
5. 54-51
6. Having an inside seat to all that went on in 95' and 96' through Greg Meyer. The echoes of Keith Jackson calling the PSU and USC games.
7. The opening of the Fitz Carlton.
8. Hammering Iowa in Iowa City. Embarrassing the Badgers in Madison. Doing the same to Sparty in East Lansing. Silencing bell cows in Jacksonville.
9. Witnessing NU beat OSU like a drum at the LOS ... and on the scoreboard as well ... with a whole bunch of recruits from Ohio.
10.Meeting player parents, fellow alums and friends of NU who share my passion for the players. Knowing they are in great hands with Fitz, Phillips, Shapiro and Ryan....and many others.
