Worst Sporting event you've attended???

Worst attended: 1968 Florida-Georgia game. Grew up hearing about the spectacle, blah, blah, blah. When I was 13, I went with my dad, wore a jacket and tie, waited an hour for a cold roast beef sandwich that was supposed to be hot at restaurant next to stadium, it rained all damn day and Georgia won 51-0. Actually listened to most of game on grandmother's car radio because we surrendered to the weather but our car was boxed in.

Worst covered: Almost any Sebring (Fla.) HS football game I had in 1986. Worst 1-9 team I've ever seen.

 

Huh?

 

I think this kid got booted for booing.

 

I once covered a conference indoor track meet, and it being my first track meet, I showed up at around 3 p.m. to the fieldhouse. About two hours into it, I notice it's going really slow. Another hour passes then another then another then another. There was no where to sit so I'm either standing up or walking around. By the time it ended around 10 p.m., I was dead on my feet.

 

Watched a Marlins day game in August with maybe five other folks in the stands (thought it was so hot I may have just hallucinated them). I'm still trying to rehydrate.

 

Any of the 25-15 final score girls basketball games I've stabbed myself with my pencil to stay awake through.

 

I covered a state swim meet (my first time covering a swim event) in late November. OK, it's below zero outside and a sauna in the Natatorium, at least it felt like 120 degrees.

 

ahh yes that brings back memories of sitting in the Yale Cage, listening to my Walkman all day to run one event.

That's pretty much the worst. As much as I loathe field hockey at least it's not an all-day event.

 

When our local girls made the switch from slowpitch to fastpitch, I covered a game that should not have been played -- it was drizzling rain and the field was a mudbog -- and finished with a final score of 19-17 or some other nonsense. Pitchers combined for more than 30 walks and the teams committed about 15 errors between them. Took four hours.

Everybody should have to cover one of these assnumbers before they are ever allowed to cover a D-I or pro beat.

 

I was only three years old, didn't know what football was and was not there, but that was the best game i've ever been to anyway ;D

 

WORLD GAMES FOR THE DEAF!
