"What Goes Around, Comes Around"

Edit Note: This was an amazing game, as those of you who were there know. Kent State was a great team who made an appearance in the MAC Championship game, and there were some classic quotes from this story, Battle's in particular is great.With 7.6 seconds left in a game tied at 66, University at Buffalo guard Turner Battle charged down the floor, and dropped a beauty through the net to give Buffalo a two point lead over Kent State with only 2.3 seconds remaining.Play resumed on a full-court pass down to Kent State's star forward Antonio Gates that was tipped and fell into the waiting hands of Bryan Bedford for a last second, last chance three-pointer that hit nothing but net and silenced the rabid crowd."When I saw that shot go up I had a feeling it was going in," Battle said.

That Orange Seat Mystique

Being a Mets fan for some time, you learn to accept both the good and the bad. A World Series appearance every 15 years or so mixes in well with failed "can't miss" prospects that typically result in an offseason rebuilding process that will inevitably lead to disgruntled fans and an exorbitant payroll that includes an over the hill and oft injured roster.This is a list of "The 15 reasons why I'm a Mets fan."If a Yankee fanatic made a similar list it would be filled with World Series victories, perfect games and hall of famers.
