If you read about the Basketball Passport website (bbpassport.com) last winter over on the basketball board, then you probably know that the same guy launched a baseball version (hardballpassport.com) this spring.

Well, today he launched one for football: fbpassport.com.

Same cool features: You can log all the pro and Division I college games you've ever attended, earning stamps for certain achievements. The stats page tells you the overall record of teams when you've been in attendance, plus some other cool info.

The NFL database goes all the way back to Super Bowl I. The college one isn't completely built out yet; it currently goes back only to 2001. But the guy announced today that within a month he'll have college games active all the way back to 1979.

On each game you log, you have the ability to post photos and add a paragraph of your memories or opinion about the stadium.

I must admit that I'm really biased as I make a plug for this, because I'm obsessed with researching my sports history to locate all the games I've been to. But anyway, at least give it a look. I think most of you will love it.

I found it amusing how heavily the Northern Illinois folks got behind this site. On the bottom of the home page, it lists the most visited stadiums, and their Huskie Stadium is tops with 1,108 visits -- nearly 700 more than the next most-visited stadium.

If you click the breakdown to see just NCAA stadiums, Peden is 16th, so at least a few of you have found this site.

Kinda stinks this only goes back to 2001. I can fondly remember some early-mid 90s trips up to Michigan Stadium with family and friends. Most memorable was Kordell Stewart's 70-yard heave for the Colorado win in 1994.

So hard to remember which Ohio games I went to and which ones I didn't while I was in school. Other than Pitt, there weren't that many memorable games.

Although Ball State in 2005 where Kalvin McRae went for 250+ yards, Voncarie Owens went over 100 yards, Justin Fitzgerald had an 80-yard end around TD and Scott Mayle took a kickoff back for a TD (which he got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after the play because he celebrated too early by putting up a #1 finger while crossing the goal line) was pretty memorable. :)

Kinda stinks that I can't link my list to this site. I'd be interested in seeing where everyone else has been.

I've been to 105 basketball games and 50 football games, not including several Miami games (alumni parents) in the 90s I can't remember. The best NBA individual performance I have witnessed: Shawn Marion when he was with Phoenix against Cleveland in 2002 went for 28 and 8. Best NFL QB performance was Jeff Blake of the Bengals going 21-36, 349 yds, and 4 touchdowns in a win over the Falcons in 1996.

That is still the worst call I've ever seen at Peden Stadium.

Saw a Michael Jordan buzzer beater against the Cavs when he played for the Wizards late in his career. It was almost in the exact same spot as "The Shot" in 1989 which was unbelievably spooky. Other than that and a handful of Lebron-led Cavs games or Mark Price-led Cavs games, not really much to remember up there in Cleveland. I do recall Ricky Davis going for over 30 one night which was just really weird to watch.

+1

I think that was the year the NCAA started to crack down on celebrations. But that was more ridiculous than anything I can think of in Peden.

The site administrators are building out the database. It's supposed to be extended for all college games back to 1979, and the announced estimate for when that should happen had been stated as "by the end of September."

It'll be very cool once it's expanded. I have already counted out what games I need to add, and that will open up another 50 games for me to log.

By the way, my username on fbpassport.com and the related sites is also lovebobcat. I've got 351 games on my basketball passport.

I don't know how some of you can remember all of the games you have attended.

A lot of the Browns games I went to kinda blend together... Go in optimistic, leave angry. Opponent is really kinda irrelevant. Most notable bad call ended in a riot sometimes called bottlegate. I do recall some other games where weird stuff happens (orlando brown flag to the eye) and also a lot of wins... So I guess my memory loss is more of a selective memory?

edit: also, peden stadium is quickly climbing the ranks...

I've only been to one Browns game in my life and boy was it memorable. It was the Sunday night game vs. the Ravens in 2002 where Tim Couch got hurt and everyone cheered. Kelly Holcombe of course came in and almost led to a comeback victory, but in pure Browns fashion they screwed it up.

Oh God, I had forgotten about that. The NCAA has lightened up in terms of celebrations so quickly, that I had forgotten that just nine years ago this was a thing.

And didn't Dion Byrum put up a finger before he scored on his runback against Pit in 2004? Imagine if that play had been penalized? Would the penalty have been assessed on Ohio's offensive possession? How does that work?

I don't think he put up a finger on either of his pick-6s. The one thing that sticks out in my mind was how gently he put the ball down in the end zone before he celebrated with his teammates. He literally just set the ball on the ground and let it sit there. You could tell that he wasn't going to do anything that would cause a penalty.

Wasn't it that the prior week he had a pick six return of a pitchout vs Northwestern and strutted in some way and Coach talked to him about that...so no strut on either vs. Pitt ?!
