If You could watch ONE Alabama game again, without knowing the outcome

When I was young, (like Pre-Internet) the 1985 Iron Bowl came on replay and I didn't have much to do that day so I watched it. I quickly realized I had no idea who was going to win and neither of my parents were home (latchkey kid). So I watched as Alabama fought back time and again into the dying minutes of the game. When Tiffin made the kick, I jumped up and down and screamed like it was happening live. It took me a while to realize I just put all my emotion, attention and interest in a game that was played and won over 10 years ago. It was a pretty surreal feeling. It was an odd but satisfying feeling.

So I pose this question.... If you could watch any game again with the outcome erased from your memory, what would it be? What game was the most fun to watch for the first time? the LSU Shutout, Miami in 92, Rocky Block (way too irritating a game for 99% of the time for me), 1999 in the Swamp, the 2005 UF game is still my all time favorite, just an amazing day minus Prothro's injury. I'd say the 2009 SEC Championship; I relished every moment of revenge on Urban and the Gators and the INT by Arenas almost made me cry in joy.

I am tempted to say this past year's LSU game. The gloom of thinking we might lose, the euphoria after The Screen. Everyone around me was hugging and cheering. It was a thing of beauty and I wouldn't mind reliving it.

Last year's 35-0 blanking of Western Kentucky. My old arse can't take any unnecessary drama.

'09 SEC Championship or '08 Georgia "Black Out" game.

That first half of the UGA game in Athens was just amazing. Their fans were so fired up coming into it. Best half of football I've ever seen in person.

SEC Championship, 2012

I was in the Georgia Dome, so I would love to be back in it if I could do it again.

That was my first thought too. I wouldn't mind reliving that in the Georgia Dome.

My favorite Bama v. UF game ever. Didn't have the significance of other matchups, but it was so insanely intense.

The '98 LSU game where Bama kicks the onside kick, is a very close second for me.

No one could have passed a stress test after watching that game.

Yeah, LSU outplayed Alabama badly in this game and Bama had no business winning, nevertheless the streak in Baton Rouge continued!

Alabama vs texass in the Rose Bowl. Too many reasons to list why that was my favorite game ever.

Rocky Block. From Tennessee. National title hopes on the line. Making Tennessee fans think they had the game then just shitting on the hole in their chest where we ripped their heat out.

Second would be this years LSU game. I don't think I've ever been so nervous. That was pure euphoria. Soon as TJ caught it I knew he was gonna score. I was on the first row. I jumped in the air and started running up and down field level at tiger stadium huggging people. I've rewatched the clip so much I have the radio call memorized. My gf gets annoyed when I start yelling TJ YELDON TJ YELDON. On a screen, 28 yard NO flags...ALABAMA in what could be one the epic comebacks in Crimson Tide history takes a 20-17 lead
