        <body>To Macs:

I want to know how you got to dot the &amp;quot;I&amp;quot; at Ohio Stadium but never saw a Buckeye Wolverine game.  If you were in the band, then you absolutely saw an OSU-Mich game.

If you were not in the band, then you have to be one of the following people:

Woody Hayes, Bob Hope, Jack Nicklaus, James &amp;quot;Buster&amp;quot; Douglas, OSU Presidents Novice Fawcett, Gordon Gee and their wives, composer the late Richard &amp;quot;Dick&amp;quot; Heine, Ann Droste, wife of retired director and former OSUMB member Dr. Paul Droste, and retired OSU ticket director Robert Ries. A pretty short list of non band members dotting the &amp;quot;I&amp;quot;.  

And I'll bet all those guys saw at least one OSU-Michigan game.</body>

        <body>I cannot believe these lists - too many US events smattered with token overseas events, here goes: 

1. All Blacks vs Wales at the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff (Rugby). Seeing the worlds greatest sports tradition, the mighty Haka and the worlds best sporting atmosphere, a Welsh home game at the Millinium Stadium. Can't miss event. 
2. Olympics (any): The mens 100m final, nuff said. 
3. World Cup Football final, or even the UEFA champions league final. To close to call. 
4. The Super Bowl - the only US sporting event that warants any real consideration in the top 5, other than maybe Michigan vs Ohio State or Auburn vs Alabama in College Football. 
5. Monaco Grand Prix: The most glamourous sporting events in the most glamourous location in the world. 

Just missed the cut: Ashes Test Cricket at the MCG (Boxing Day), Man Utd v Liverpool at Anfield, British Open Golf, French Open Tennis.

        <body>You guys stole a bit of my thunder.... but here's a couple more:

Pacquio/Mayweather - If it happens, I'd love to see that one.

Army/Navy Football - The teams are no longer big time, but it's everything a rivalry should be.  Hard-nosed action, long tradition, mutual respect.

Final Four - The last multi-game day of the best sporting event in the USA, the NCAA Basketball Tournament.... and that's coming from a baseball fan!</body>

        <body>I live for sports. I've been lucky enough to attend many events. So, I'm already probably more than halfway through my bucket list (I'm 44, and hope to have time to finish it...)
So here's the part I've done in no particular order of preference.

1. Summer Olympics
2. Opening Day at Fenway
3. Super Bowl
4. A football game at Notre Dame Stadium
5. Nba Finals
5. World Series
7. Wimbledon
8. Alabama-Auburn
9. The dotting of the i at Ohio State
10. Duke-North Carolina at Cameron
11. A World Cup soccer match
10. Wrigley Field
11. An english soccer game at Wembley Stadium (mine was Chelsea-Arsenal, FA Cup semifinal)
12. Lambeau Field (been there on a scorching early sept. game, wanna go back for a real Frozen Tundra experience...)
13. The Civil War (Oregon State vs Oregon)

The ones that are still on my list
1. Kentucky Derby
2. Indy 500
3. A Vols football game in Knoxville singing Rocky Top
4. Ohio State-Michigan
5. Midnight Sun game in Alaska

I better stop, or I'd have to live to be a 100 before I can finish it...</body>
