1. Francisco Cabrerra’s Double/Sid Breams slide. My first month at Tech. Everyone came out to celebrate. Couches were burned at Techwood and Bobby Dodd.
2. Jasper Sanks Fumble
3. George Godsey’s “sprint down the sideline at Samford Stadium which promted some Georgia fan to take a swing at Dave.
4. Warren Morris hits a 2 run HR in the bottom of the 9th to beat Miami in the CWS. Not technically an Atlanta sports moment, but I was in Atlanta graduating from Tech that day.
5. Morten Andersen’s Field Goal against Minnesota in the NFCCG.
