In terms of team performance Houston was pretty dire while I was there. The successful AHL team reloacted, the Texans imploded, the Astros were/are mired in perpetual suck, and the whole Howard/Harden thing hasn't quite worked out for the Rockets.
Gotta say, apart from the Texans fans baying for blood (anyone's) during 2013, all of the sporting events I went to were pretty fun. Went to several Astros games in Tiger garb and the Astros fans surrounding me were making fun of their own team the whole time.
And I wanted to show The Core to my classes as an example of utter contempt for science in hollywood. Unfortunately, I also didn't want to pay anyone for a copy of it.
Anthro 101. We took the final in the Modern Language Building lecture hall. I sat in the front row and finished it before they were done handing it out.
Mackovic was a slight improvement over the coach he replaced at Texas, but he seems to be primarily remembered for losing to Rice for the first time since the Johnson administration and getting hamblasted 66-3 by UCLA. Seems like everyone is able to have one good season at Illinois and then a bunch of mediocrity.
I can't believe that Muschamp is getting any serious looks from a P5 conference. The SEC is basically turning into one of the professional leagues where any crappy retread can get a job because they have "NFL/NBA/MLB experience". Dude turned Florida into unwatchable sludgefart that they still struggled to break out of this year.
Probably doesn't crack the top 10 of stupidest ways the Lions have lost a game, but one that sticks out in my mind was the Thanksgiving game against the Texans a few years back. Schwartz botched a challenge and gave Houston a free touchdown, which (if I recall correctly) would have been overturned anyways.
They're basically making the same hire that they made with Richt, just on the other side of the ball. Prior to UGA, Richt had been wrecking face at FSU as Bobby Bowden's OC. FSU got all the talent and was the reigning dynasty at the time (sound familiar?)
Hopefully this means that Saban hires Alabama Jeff Bowden and craters the program.

In the five seasons between '01 and '07 they won a combined 13 games. Remarkable.
I wonder if he's taking credit for Fisher's wins like he did with Mack Brown
The centerpiece fight of Captain America: Civil War was awesome.

I also wanted to put Judas Priest on here but I realized that, great as they are, they've never gone three albums without a stinker :(
Except I shift it back one album:
Kill 'Em All
Ride the Lightning
Puppets
Just couldn't get into Justice as much as the above three. Love the rawness of Kill 'Em All.
I've seen Rice play football. You don't want them either.

The live-action version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey as the Grinch. Dr. Seuss books should only ever be animated.

After they won 6 games, then lost 6 games, for which they were rewarded by playing a sub-500 UCLA team in the most depressing bowl game imaginable.

Is the Lane Kiffin of DCs.
I know Foster is well-respected there, but I found this very odd.

Taking a once-in-a-generation talent and breaking his spirit.

Houston Nutt's 37-man class that single-handedly enacted the 25 players/year cap in the SEC. Good times.
Retired from coaching to be the school's AD then re-hired himself as the football coach.
Mike Garrett hired Kiffin.
I heard the band might not be coming.
