Remains to this day one of the most dominating performances of the Saban era.

This is the only game that I've ever watched, and actually started feeling sorry for the other team. This was just brutal

This was the game that Spencer Hall commented that you "began to fear for the safety of the other team, which is the highest compliment you can give to a football team."

Also I believe Cousins said that the blindside hit from Upshaw was the hardest hit he has ever taken.


Oh, and of course McElroy with the block to spring Julio on the end around.

And continued it in Arlington for the 2015 playoff game. A truly arrogant bunch. Even after the 38-0 win, there was a Spartan fan tallking academic smack to me on the transit bus back to parking after the game.

Was in the stands watching both teams warm up. It was obvious that the players in Crimson were a whole different breed of cat than the ones in green. I turned to my buddy and said, "We're going to kill them." He is the type who is convinced we will lose to East Podunk Tech and he just about shite.

Fast forward two years to the BCSCG in Miami vs ND. During warmups I said to him, "This looks like Michigan State. We're going to kill them." :csb:


(We sat next to great fans from both schools each time but we just may have been lucky.)

Upshaw was a monster.

For Marcus Hyde, #11 in green, it was a crimson nightmare.

One of my favorite games of all time. GMac's block for 27 was a beauty.

It was a good way to end one of the most disappointing seasons in Bama history. By the half I was just thinking "What if they'd played with even half of this intensity the rest of the season?"

I watched this game visiting my folks in Key West.

We were at the sports bar and two Michigan State fans were sitting in front of our table. After Trent slipped and got hit on the opening kickoff, one of them turned around and said "THAT'S BIG 10 FOOTBALL" (caps because he screamed it).

Needless to say, he got tired of hearing "THAT'S SEC FOOTBALL" by halftime and left with his tail between his legs.

Thanks for the vid 87, you're a saint for doing this.
