With covid wiping out a lot of Division 2 sports seasons and probably more the way things are going and it may be a while before many of us attend another D2 sporting live, I thought digging up some old memories would be a worth while distraction. I was curious what everyone's greatest D2 game or play that they ever saw live in person was.
For me I would IUP's playoff win over Fairmont State in 2016 simply because it was one of those rare games were absolutely everything seemed to go right from IUP in that 62-13 drubbing. I was probably the only IUP fan happy they were on the road as Fairmont State was only a 20 minutes away from me. The game day atmosphere was lacking since the weather was lousy, FSU was on break and everyone else in West Virginia was tailgating before the WVU vs Oklahoma game but I still had an amazing time none the less.
The greatest play without question was Akwasi Owusu-Ansah punt return against Edinboro in 2009. Starting with the Willy Mays catch, breaking two tackles just to get himself going in the right direction, breaking more tackles, cutting across the field while IUP's blockers stayed in the play. Just too bad it wasn't enough to get us the win that day.

Anyone else have any fun memories from attending football, basketball or other D2 events live?
