I will never forget that Saturday against Southern Mississippi in Stallings debut in 1990. My dad and uncle were suppose to go but dad got sick and uncle took me instead. I was 15 years old and it was amazing. Bret Favre was their quarterback and we lost 27-24 to the chagrin of many, many Tide fans. I believe we started that year 0-3 even. Most of us at the time had no idea that Favre was a future hall of famer.

1999 LSU vs Bama goal line stand for the W.

I was extremely young and remember looking at the scoreboard and seeing us up with very little time left and was thinking we are about to win, but looking around at all the nervous fans had me very confused. I had no clue LSU was driving for the win at the end.

Mike DuBose's first game coaching. I remember my dad and brother talking about him on the drive up but don't really remember much beyond that.

2011 34-0 game vs Vandy for Homecoming. My first and only trip. Drove down from Bowling Green, KY that weekend. Remember one of the old timers next to me saying "sorry you couldn't see them play their best for your first game." I was like WTF, we won 34-0.

92 Sec CG. Was young but will never forget the crowd noise and my dad's awful Alabama hat with the rope across the front.

I was a walk on sophomore on that 1990 team. We did lose 3 in a row and lost 3 important skill guys as well, one in each game. Lost Siran Stacey in the opener at legion Field, followed by WR Prince Wimbley at Athens in a 17-16 game, and then lost WR Craig Sanderson at BDS against Florida in a 17-13 game. All suffered torn ACLs.

My first was October 24 against Rutgers for HC.

I went to a game with my dad in the 90s (I was born in 88) against a cupcake, but I don't remember the team name. It was at Legion Field I remember and we parked in a bad area and walked.

My first game that I was aware of really what's going on was the Game of the Century in 2011 vs LSU. I couldn't really see what was happening from my seats very well, but it was still deafening up there. In fact, I developed a severe headache and nausea. Plus a hatred of jalapeño peppers (I was starving at half time and ate a ton of them on the nachos).

My first game was Bama's only win of 93, the gator bowl Wasn't even a gump then, but the crowd put the seed in my mind that this was a great fan base.

My first game was later that year (1990) when they played Cincinnati. I was 8. My granddad took me. He had tickets from the first year Bryant returned to Bama in 1958 all the way through 1992.
