Which game do you remember most? For me it was the 1999 game. Both teams were ranked in the top 10 and I felt like Bama had a good chance to knock off the defending National Champs. Tennessee played one of their best games of the year and shut down Bama's offense 21-7. It still makes me sick hearing Rocky Top being played late in the 4th when Tennessee had the game won.

I also haven't forgot the 2003 game (4OT's). I honestly thought Alabama had the game won 3 different times. Makes me sick thinking about it.

The 2002 game was also a good one because the Tide spanked UT 34-14 for their first win since 1994

2009 and don't remember the year (93 I think) but when Palmer tied the game with a 2 point conversion. Wish overtime was around then

Practically none of them really.

The only two that stand out are mount fatass blocking the fg with his armpit and a game back in the 90's when david palmer scored late in the game for a bama win.

Those are seriously the only two games I can even recall.

I have this game on DVD. ha. I bought the 2003 Ole Miss/Bama game from some guy and he ended up sending me the 03 Tennessee game with the Ole Miss game. That was a good game.

1993, David Palmer around end for the 2 point conversion to give bama the tie

2005, Roman Harper causes fumble, brodie hits DJ hall on a bomb, Bama wins 9-6

2009, Cody with the 2 blocks

I remember the 4OT game because it was my damn birthday and I was waiting around for the damn game to end so I could go out for my birthday dinner. Also 2002. 2009. 1993(?) When Palmer tied it up at the end. 1999 was frustrating as hell. 2005 was an annoying game even though we won.

2003 was the worst. Wasn't that the same year we went to like 3 OTs with Arkansas after blowing a 17 point lead in the 4th? That season would not end, took years off my life

I remember 1999, was at that game too. If Shaun hadn't gotten hurt I think we would have won. He and Zow both had gimp ankles and Shaun dropped a pass across the middle that pretty much sealed our loss. Probably ended up costing him a shot at the Heisman too b/c he was out for a couple weeks after

Those are 2 of my least favorite ones

Speaking of Bad ones... how about Every game against Peyton Manning, particularly the one he destroyed us in at Legion Field when he led the band in Rocky Top

Or they year we ALMOST beat Peyton, but that fat frick Freddie Kitchens through a 90+ yard pick 6 late in the 4th when we were driving for the win

Eta- 1990

Philip Doyle kicked his third field goal of the game, a 48-yarder as time expired, to lift Alabama to a 9-6 victory over Tennessee today in a Southeastern Conference defensive struggle.

Doyle's kick was set up when Stacy Harrison blocked a 50-yard field-goal attempt by Tennessee's Greg Burke with 1 minute 35 seconds to play. Burke, whose 51-yarder tied it with 10 minutes to play, saw his potential game-winner carom off Harrison's chest and bounce downfield.

Alabama took over at the Tennessee 37 and gained 7 yards in three plays before allowing the clock to run down to 4 seconds.

Doyle had field goals of 30 and 26 yards while Burke had a 20-yarder in the first quarter before his career-best 51-yarder five minutes into the final period.

Tennessee fell to 4-1-2 over all, 2-1-1 in the conference. Alabama (3-3, 2-2) has handed Tennessee its only three losses in the last 25 games.

The dominant force in the game was the Alabama defense, which for the second straight year distrupted Tennessee so badly the Vols changed quarterbacks in midstream.

Sterling Henton, who lost his job to Andy Kelly in the Alabama game last year, took over for an ineffective Kelly early in the third quarter.

Alabama held Tennessee, the S.E.C.'s leading offensive team, to just 71 yards and three first downs in the first half.

1990.

Probably my favorite regular season Bama game of all time. We had no business being in the game with them. It actually mirrors this weekend in a vice-versa type way.

Those Bama-UT games in the 90's were physical wars, much like the Bama/LSU series now.

The 94 game is still one of the best college football games I've ever attended. Peyton's freshman season.

Whatever year it was that Peyton Manning came to Legion Field to play Bama. First play from scrimmage was an 80 yd TD pass.

can't believe all these LSU pricks hating on this rivalry

thinking back on all these great games- hopefully Mizzou is gonna end up in the east and this game will stay on the schedule. it would be a shame not to play every year

'09. Going from despair as UT lined up to kick a game winning field goal to complete euphoria when Terrence Cody blocked it. I'll never forget it.
