Dexter McCluster 2008 game I think. Ole Miss was ()<--------- that close to beating two top 5 teams that year. One of which they did.

1984 AU vs FSU

The best game no one saw (wasn't broadcast) and the night the Tomahawk Chop was born in Tallahassee:

Pat Dye calls it wildest game he ever coached. Also known as the night he got a 45 yard penalty called against him

quote:

Fans have asked me what was my wildest and craziest game as head football coach at Auburn and without a doubt it was our 42-41 victory at Florida State in 1984.


quote:

I yelled at the official and said, "No way he clipped him. He hit him in the chest," but it didn't help. They called the touchdown back. By that time I am out on the field discussing the situation with the officials and they told me I had got to get back to the sideline.

As they are marking off the 30 yards we are still discussing it over there by the hash mark and I said, "I want to see the guy with the white hat (referee)." He comes over and we discuss it and he throws his flag, too, and they mark off 15 more.

The scoreboard down there at Doak-Campbell Stadium had pyrotechnics when the crowd got loud and it lit up the place like the 4th of July with the fans going crazy.

After I got my second personal foul call, our big noseguard, Ben Thomas, came out on the field and picked me up. He said, "Coach, you have to get off the field or they are going to throw you out of here." So he carried me back over to the sidelines and set me down.

I don't know what the Auburn fans were thinking at that time, but I remember thinking "how are we going to win this game."

As I looked at all of those fireworks, I noticed the down and distance on the scoreboard and it showed it was first down and 55 yards to go. I looked over at Jack Crowe, who was calling plays with Larry Blakeney, and I said, "Jack, have you got a good first and 55 call." He looked at me like I was crazy.

Not surprisingly, we didn't score on that possession

Correct.





We lost to Wake Forest (First game), Vandy (week before UF), and South Carolina (week after UF)

A win and a loss from Florida's 1997 season- the loss to LSU and the win against FSU (the latter may be the greatest single game of coaching I've ever seen from the OC, that or the slaughter of FSU to win the title)

UGA@LSU 2003.

It is rarely talked about on here and was an incredible game.

To this day it is the loudest I have ever heard Tiger Stadium.

Absolutely phenomenal game.

The 7 OT OM-Arky game was one of the most entertaining games I've witnessed


I agree.

I remember seeing that game after getting home after whatever lsu game that day. I was spent tailgating all day, going to the game, etc- then got energized watching that and ended up going to some bar.

I still think espn got paid for every archie photo shot though

There are no all time great games involving OM, MS, KY, and Vandy.

Just not mentioned in the same sentence.

A non-SEC game that sticks out is 1995 FSU vs. UVA. Seems like it was one of the first Thursday night games, Warrick Dunn vs. Tiki Barber and one of the most memorable, if not controversial, endings in a college football game.

My future wife was in the AU band and was at that game.

I was back at Auburn listening on the radio. Friend of mine came by to visit - he was totally anti-sports, a senior who had never attended a single AU athletic event in his four years on the Plains. He sat on the couch drinking beer with me while we listened to the 2nd half.

When the game ended, he was so excited that he insisted we go to Toomers so he could roll the corner, for the first and only time in his AU career.

. It allowed the Rebs to be 6-0 in the SEC heading into the showdown with LSU two weeks later for the SEC crown (The UGA-LSU rematch in Atlanta was not a true championship game).


The 2003 Ole Miss team lost to Memphis by double digits and also they were beaten by Texas Tech in the regular season.

LSU vs UGA was the real championship game between the two best teams in the SEC for 2003.
