In an effort to keep things positive for the holidays, please post something about your team that, while not everyone else would consider the defining moment of the franchise, is something that points out why you love your team.
It can be a championship, but certainly doesn't have to be. Cases in point...
1. Rangers - I was a young and at the game, the Rangers are killing a power play, and under siege the entire two minutes. Mike Richter is making some incredible saves, and the crowd is going crazy for him. The noise is deafening, Darren Turcotte comes out of the penalty box right when the Rangers finally clear the zone, and he's off on a breakaway. Dekes to his backhand and roofs it home, and I thought the explosion of noise would literally blow the roof off the building and send it into outer space. I don't even remember how that particular team finished the season, but I remember thinking at the time, even at the age of 11 or 12 or whatever I was...wow, THIS is my team.
2. Yankees - The Aaron Boone homerun in 2003 was amazing, and so is the Roll Call at the start of every game, but the Derek Jeter catch where his momentum from chasing the ball down, diving into the stands, crashing into a railing with his face and holding onto the ball in a regular season game, still sends a chill down my spine when I see it.
3. Ohio State - There is nothing better than beating Michigan, but I still remember an ABC on-field interview with Troy Smith, after the Buckeyes beat Texas in Austin, where Troy had played a major part in the victory. The announcer asked him if it was revenge for the loss up in Columbus to Vince Young and Texas the year before, and Troy said...'it's not about that. This victory is for the coaches, who spend endless, endless hours studying film and preparing the team to play each week. ' I got a chill from that comment too. What a great kid.
4. New York Knicks - 'The Dunk.' The John Starks dunk over Michael Jordan. Still can't believe it happened. John Starks was one of those players who made the most out of the talent he had, and when the little guy drove right and jumped over two Bulls, one of which was Michael Jordan, and dunked with his left hand. Wow.
5. New York Jets - Unfortunately with the Jets the first things that come to my mind are losses, but it does give you a shiver when you're in the stadium and Fireman Ed starts the J-E-T-S chants. Even though there has been so much disappointment, even though you basically don't have a home stadium...Jet fans are nothing if not resilient. Watch out if this team ever gets over that hump...
6. St. John's - Since Chris Mullin was nearly God-like in the house I grew up in (although I wasn't old enough to remember seeing him play for them), the thing I remember most is how excited everyone was in our house when they went to the final four.
Even though my mom still jokes that when I came out of the womb I immediately asked how the Rangers did that night, the final four year was perhaps my first exposure to how sports can change how everyone feels...even though at that age I cared more about my stuffed animals than any game.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).
AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.
Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.
Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.
Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.
According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.
While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.
Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.

We were up in Pigeon Forge, TN a month ago and we couldn't get anything on our phones to work on mobile data...the Ookla speed test app couldn't even do a speed test. I have an older 13 and went into my settings and turned off the 5G, making it use LTE exclusively....did a speed test of over 300mbps so obviously the 5G bands were overwhelmed. Anyway, tried to do the same thing on my Wife's 15 and the cellular data options tab simply wasn't there. Any of you run into this? We've on Verizon
