Your yearly stopdown sports days

[honyock]

This has probably been covered here at some point...I was thinking yesterday how much I look forward to those 16 Cowboys games every year and tried to think of any other yearly sports moments that are automatic stopdowns for me. So I only got to 20. Those Cowboys games, the Super Bowl,and Sundays at the Masters, US Open and British Open. (I basically grew up on a golf course). Nothing else came to mind as a regular yearly event. And if the Cowboys aren't playing in it, the Super Bowl is the least important of those 20.

If the Cowboys make the playoffs, that's another level up. No stopdowns for the other sports teams here unless they get to the playoffs, the Olympics are a hit-or-miss every four years, the US games in the World Cup come close for me every four years. But those 20 are the don't-miss every year.

So what are yours?

 

[WV Cowboy]

Of course, ALL Cowboys games.
NFL playoffs through to the Super Bowl
All WVU football and basketball games.

I am the PA announcer for our local high school football team. (this is my 20th year) Football is big here, and our school has been very successful for decades. So all five home games and however many home playoff games we qualify for are huge for me.

From the Sweet 16 to the Final Four to the Championship game.
Masters
NBA finals
College World Series
All golf Majors
Little League World Series
MLB World Series

But that's about all. - LOL
