(3) Ronald Moore's NCAA Tournament Heroics

Fresh off a big upset in 2008 over Vanderbilt, the Saints were much respected in 2009 and earned their highest seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history. The faced Evan Turner and the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first round as a 9 seed and played one of the most memorable games in local college basketball history. I know I remember it quite fondly as one of the best Tournament games I watched start to finish! If you don't recall, watch what Ronald Moore and the Saints did below:

(7) Albany Firebirds 1999 Arena Bowl

After an 11-3 season in 199, the Albany Firebirds cruised to the Arena Bowl to face and host the #8 seed defending champion Orlando Predators on national television. The 4th quarter was wild but the Firebirds answered every Orlando score and Touchdown Eddie Brown won the MVP.
