SI ranks most memorable events of the year
So SI's website today has their listing of the 113 most memorable (for good or bad) events in the world of sport for 2013. So, it's not just who won what title or what crazy play happened, it also includes things like the Boston Marathon bombing (which topped the list at #1) This covers all sports, pro and amateur, around the world, but Michigan still managed to pop onto the list a few times.
Here's where we appeared:
101 - Eminem's appearance in the booth during the UM vs ND UTLII game
83 - Michigan vs OSU game
50 - Trey's shot vs Kansas
15 - Clowney's hit on Vincent Smith
13 - NCAA championship game
Surprisingly, the last second field goal didn't show up on the list, maybe it was an honorable mention. Some of the other items of college sports note include Te'o's catfishing at #7, Auburn's win over Bama at #2, and Auburn's win over Georgia at #29, amongst several others.
So what do you guys think of the list? Any glaring omissions?

Where would Clowney's hit on Smith be if Michigan had won that game, which we had a golden chance to do? Not even top 50. The end result always skews the narrative. That is what is so frustrating about seeing that effing play.

They title #13 "Win it for Ware." I really felt bad for Kevin Ware, but holy shit wow annoying was the coverage? They make it out like he died.
SI has had a huge drop in quality in recent years (not even to speak of Rosenberg) and it makes me wonder how much longer they will be around.
