Good stuff, Rick.

Professionals vs amatuers? Refer to the last Egg Bowl.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Great take and comparison.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

HELL NO!

David vs. Goliath might be the better comparison

 

[Rick Cleveland]

Made that one earlier in the week...plus, I didn't have any leftover quotes from David...

Question is who were the professionals and who were the amateurs in the egg bowl?

Good stuff, Rick. As a golfer here is a favorite of mine...it could be argued that Tiger has never been the same since Yang's chip in on 14. Until then Tiger was 14-0 when leading a major going into Sunday. Then the recently 470th-ranked player in the world caught him from 2 back at Hazeltine.

Another parallel was that the 1980 game against the Soviets was also just the semifinal. Still had to be 2nd ranked Finland in the gold medal game which was also a huge favorite over us.

Let's go do the same. PTLGD.

I would compare it to currently playing Bama in football

but after further thought I think we`d match up better with the Ruskies.

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

I thought it was Lake Harbor.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

Playing in football in Tuscaloosa with those damned SEC officials!

In 1941 this remarkable feat required twelve mid-air refuelings

Tiger hasn't been the same since his ex wife beat the **** out of him with a 3 iron.

 

[ezsoil]

I thought it was a nine iron

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Or the Gay lobby vs. a Mom-and-pop bakery.

And if you worry about UCONN having destroyed us last year, the Soviets beat the American by a score of 10-3 just 13 days before they played in the Olympics.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

1980 by team USA you mean the Dawgs, and by USSR you mean Bear and Alabama, right? 6-3 baby.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Oh no doubt, that one did him in, but YE Yang was the first guy to really put a chink in the Tiger armor. People forget but Tiger Woods was virtually unbeatable when he held a lead going into the final round of a major. Add to that, Yang was being paired with Tiger for the first time ever, a pressure cooker which usually made guys struggle to break 80. Yang was like Honey Badger, he didn't give a ****. When Yang chipped in for eagle on 14 Tiger's whole demeanor changed, like "WTF is going on here? Somebody tell the Asian kid I'm Tiger 17'n Woods!" It was an awesome David/Goliath that hardly ever gets mentioned, but it was a big deal.

Started out as a 3 but was bent into a 9 by the time she got done.
