Watching the Tennessee game in '73 on TV. The first play from scrimmage, with Bama in the Wishbone, Gary Rutledge goes play-action and hits Wayne Wheeler in stride on a bomb for an 80-yard TD...

And then in the 4th Quarter after UT QB Condredge Holloway tied the game at 21 all, Bama reels off 21 unanswered points in five minutes, highlighted by a punt return for a TD by Robin Cary and an 80-yard TD run by Wilbur Jackson...

Watching the 92 Sugar Bowl with my dad, specifically the George Teague run-down and strip. I was 8.

1/1/93 Friday night watching the game with my girl and 15 of my friends at an apartment party in Hoover. She and I were too gone to go out afterwards, but my friends all went to Hopper's at 5 points and had a blast.

I turned 9 in the 1985 season and it was the first year I watched every game and had so much fun, and of course the best memory from that season was the Iron Bowl.

Not my first memory but my best memory was the 6 or 7 OT game with UT in the late 90s (I think). My parents have a Halloween party every year and I missed the entire thing the night of this game. Couldn't talk the next day from screaming at the TV like an idiot. What a game!

Probably the 1989 Mississippi State game. I know was at games before. But the '89 season is the first I can really recall.

My first great memory from an Alabama game was probably the 89 UT game. I was 10. Siran Stacy went nuts and broke the school record for All Purpose Yards. I think it was 47-30 the final score. I was not at the game. I had it taped and probably watched it about 20 times the next few years.

I remember listening on the radio to the Rose Bowl back in '25.

But really, my first memory of Alabama is the 1998 Tennessee game. Then my first really good one is 2002 North Texas, the first Bama game I attended.

That was 2003 and one of the worst losses ever.

My first game I ever attended was like in 2004 I think against Utah State. Without looking up the score, I think we won 48-17. I also remember meeting a random Utah State player that no one knew and got his autograph. Ended up selling the football that he signed. Years after that, I realized he was a really great player in the NFL, Donald Penn.

My first great memory of a game would have to be the 2007 Arkansas game. Touchdown pass to Caddell win less than 10 seconds left. Crowd went absolutely crazy. That's one of my favorite Bama games I've ever attended.
