    Good topic. I’m sure I’ll think of more but these couple popped into my head first.

     

    Thurman cafe: Columbus staple, can’t go wrong with any but the Thurman burger is pure gluttonous bliss

    Coyote bluff cafe: Amarillo, Tx. Was on man vs food many years ago. I did the burger from hell it was excellent. Cool little spot.

    Thurman's does a pretty mean burger.  Betty's down by the baseball and soccer stadiums is one to check out.

    Bob Beamon's long jump at the 1968 Olympics - improving the world record at that time (8.35 m) by nearly two feet (8.90 m). Since then, more than 50 years ago, only a single jump has been longer.

     

     

    Great selection !!!

     

     

    Greg Lemond winning the 1989 Tour de France by 8 seconds over Laurent Fignon

    July 23rd 1989, the bout took place between Versailles and Paris in a 24.5 km time-trial. The gap between leader Laurent Fignon and Greg LeMond was 50 seconds. Greg LeMond knew he had nothing to lose and everything to hope for if he gave all he had. Alas, Laurent Fignon lost the Tour de France after a 3257 km race for 8 seconds, the equivalent of 82 meters. To this day, these 8 seconds remain the smallest overall gap ever between the Tour de France winner and the rider finishing second.

     

  3. My thoughts extend to you.  I can't help much on the Buffalo front as I haven't lived there in like forever.  However, as I consider downsizing in Columbus I have been thinking of renting for a brief period of time.  Reason being is to allow me time/space to get a fresh look on the area.  As you are moving from FL to Buffalo, consider the time to maintain house / yard that could be used for other things.  Renting may be an option to consider.

    Was that the one where GL went all out for the win, while LF treated it like a slow Sunday ride?  Or was that someone else?  I remember there being one that the one rider was expected to win, so they were taking their time, drinking champagne, etc, while the person that did win went all out, knowing with a fast enough time they could win. 

    I don't recall that one.  GL was in second place going into the last stage - an individual time trial.  GL was behind LF 50 secs.  GL was one of the first to use clip on aero bars, aero helmet, wheels and did so in this ITT.  Where LF rode without the aero bars and aero helmet.  GL recovered the 50 secs and beat LF by 8 secs.  Both men rode flat out - averaging almost 32mph for 15 miles.

  5. On tv: Already suggested was Miracle on Ice, SU NCAA BB championship win.  Two new ones.

    1 - Greg Lemond beating Laurent Fignon to win the TdF by 8 secs on the last stage, which was a individual time trial.

    2 - Michael Johnson 200m / 400m gold medal wins in Atlanta.  LIke watching Secretariat.

     

    In person: CBJ Nick Foligno OT game winner against Pitt.  Sitting in the upper deck I could have swore that the building was shaking.
