Rise and shine, campers. It’s Groundhog Day.

The more than 100-year-old tradition predicting the arrival of spring began on Feb. 2, 1887 in Punxsutawney, PA when a newspaper editor declared the town’s groundhog Phil as the country’s “only true weather-forecasting groundhog.”

While some of you may be waiting to hear if we’ll have six more weeks of winter, many of you might be too busy wondering what it would be like to be stuck in a time loop reliving the same day over again. We have Bill Murray’s 1993 movie of the same name to thank for that.

This concept got us thinking — if we could live any day in Nashville over again, what would it be?

To reminisce on days we’d play on repeat, we asked you what local day you wouldn’t mind having again. Here’s what you said:

“I would LOVE to relive the Music City Miracle! It was such an exciting play that is still talked about.” — Linda S. (See why the NFL considers it the No. 4 greatest play of all time.)

“I would like to relive Aug. 21, 2017 — the total solar eclipse.” — Bill D.

“The welcome to Nashville party for the Houston Oilers — now Titans — at the Renaissance Hotel.” — Bill T.

“I would relive one of the Fan Fairs (now CMA Fest) of years past but can’t decide which one. Maybe the one where Garth signed autographs for almost 24 hours if I could be at the front of the line.” — Cecilia S. (Yes, this really happened.)
