1. Miracle on ice -- amateur nobodies beat the professional Russian's

2. 1972 gold medal basketball gold medal .. Russian team and the refs literally stole the gold medal from the American team

3. Buster Douglas...no one was willing to pay for the show because they assumed the baddest man on the planet would knock out the nobody within two rounds.

4. The NC State upset of phi slamma jamma. Not just the final but the entire survive and advance run.

5. The Jets win in super bowl 3 ...it justified the merger of the the AFL and NFL ..plus Broadway Joe guarantee.
