1968–69 Houston Mavericks season: The 1968–69 Houston Mavericks season was the second and final season of the Mavericks in the American Basketball Association.  By this point, attendance were at all-time lows at home for the Mavericks, who trudged to finish dead last in a much improved Division, 18 games behind the 4th place Dallas Chaparrals.  T.C. Morrow announced to the league that he would not put any more money into the team midway through the year, and the league stepped in to make sure the team did not fold midway through, making trades and such.  In January 1969, Jim Gardner agreed to buy the team for $650,000 to move them to North Carolina, which would occur after the season.  One bright spot was their performance on January 17, 1969, when the team made 36 of 36 free throws in a 130–118 victory over the New York Nets.  April 2, 1969 was the final game in Houston, with a reported attendance of 89, though the Mavericks beat the New York Nets 149–132.  The next night, in their final ever game (versus the Dallas Chaparrals), they lost 136–144.  The team lived on in Carolina, playing as a regional team.  Houston would not have a pro basketball team until 1971, with the Houston Rockets.

2010–11 Dallas Mavericks season: The 2010–11 Dallas Mavericks season was the 31st season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA).  The Mavericks won the NBA Championship after defeating the Miami Heat in 6 games in the 2011 NBA Finals.  The Mavs playoff run came with a 6-game first round series against the Portland Trail Blazers, a series in which the Mavericks blew a 23-point lead in Game 4, but still won the series.  In the conference semi-finals, the Mavericks run was motivated with a sweep of the champions of the previous two seasons, the Los Angeles Lakers.  The series against the Lakers also became the birth of the Mavericks Royal Blue-Out games in the AAC, with almost all fans wearing T-shirts that read "The Time is Now".  In the Western Conference Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks won the last 3 games winning by 4th quarter comebacks, to win their second Western Conference Championship, and a trip to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2006, with a rematch against the Heat.  Following a disappointing Game 1, the Mavericks pulled the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history in Game 2 to even the series at 1 game each.  After a loss in Game 3, the Mavericks won the last two games in Dallas to take a 3–2 series lead heading to Game 6 in Miami.  The Mavericks won their first NBA Championship in Game 6 to clinch the first major sports championship in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since the Dallas Stars in 1999, and the first title in Mavericks franchise history.  The Mavericks are the third team to win an NBA title in the state of Texas, joining the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs.  The Mavericks are also the third team to win a major sports championship in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, joining the Dallas Cowboys' five Super Bowl titles and the Dallas Stars' only Stanley Cup, leaving the Texas Rangers as the only team to not win a major sports title in the area, as they have not won the World Series.  The Mavericks championship parade was held on June 16, 2011 in downtown Dallas.

2006–07 Dallas Mavericks season: The 2006–07 Dallas Mavericks season was the team's 27th in the NBA.  They began the season hoping to improve upon their 60–22 output from the previous season.  They improved by seven wins, finishing 67–15, qualifying for the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season.  In the first round, they lost to the eight-seeded Golden State Warriors in six games in a shocking upset.  This would be the last time a 67-win team was eliminated before the conference finals until 2016 when the San Antonio Spurs were eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Conference Semifinals.

2007 Stanford vs. USC football game: The 2007 Stanford vs. USC football game was an NCAA college football game held on October 6, 2007, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.  In a remarkable upset, the visiting Stanford Cardinal won 24–23 despite USC having been favored by 41 points entering the game.  This result was the biggest point spread upset of all time in college football (since surpassed by the Howard University Bison in 2017, who were 45-point underdogs heading into a road game against the UNLV Rebels).  USC entered the game with a 35-game home game winning streak (its previous home game loss also happened to be to Stanford, in 2001) which included a 24-game home game winning streak in Pac-10 play.  By contrast, Stanford had compiled a Pac-10 worst 1–11 season in 2006, which included a 42–0 loss to USC.  To compound the situation, Stanford's starting quarterback T. C. Ostrander had suffered a seizure the week before and his replacement, backup quarterback Tavita Pritchard, had never started a game and had thrown just three passes in official play.

Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award: The Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award is an annual award presented by the Vancouver Canucks to the player judged to be team's most exciting as voted by the fans.  It is one of six annual team awards presented to Canucks players, awarded on the last home game of the regular season.  Although the Canucks Media Guide does not recognize any recipients prior to the 1992–93 season, there is record of an annual winner every year since the Canucks' inaugural season in 1970.  Prior to the 2013-14 NHL season, the award was simply known as the Most Exciting Player Award.  On November 1, 2013, Canucks Sports & Entertainment announced that it would be renamed the Pavel Bure Most Exciting Player Award in honor of the team's first Hockey Hall of Fame inductee and five-time winner of the award, Pavel Bure.  The most recent recipient is Bo Horvat, who received the award for the second consecutive year in the 2016–17 NHL season.

Iowa–Wisconsin football rivalry: The Iowa–Wisconsin football rivalry is an American college football rivalry between the Iowa Hawkeyes and Wisconsin Badgers.  The Heartland Trophy is a brass bull that is presented to the winner of the annual game.  Although the rivalry is over 100 years old, the trophy is a relatively new addition.  It was first presented in 2004 to Iowa, when they defeated Wisconsin 30–7.  In 2005, Iowa spoiled the last home game for Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez, defeating the Badgers at a rain-soaked Camp Randall Stadium 20–10.  The Badgers took possession of the trophy for the first time in 2006, defeating Iowa 24–21 in a back-and-forth affair.  Wisconsin evened the Heartland Trophy series in 2007, winning another closely contested game 17–13, under the lights at Camp Randall.  In 2008, Iowa took the lead in the trophy series with a lopsided 38–16 victory.  The Hawkeyes' second-half performance was key again in 2009, as they won 20–10 in Madison.  The 2010 game was decided in the final minute, as the Badgers scored a late touchdown for a 31–30 victory at Kinnick Stadium.

For the first time since 2013, the Mavs did not qualify for the playoffs.  This was also their first losing season since 2000.  On April 11, during their last home regular season game, the Mavericks honored former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo by joining the team as an honorary member that night, although he would not play any minutes for the Mavs that night, as he was not considered an official member of the team that night.
