1. Kick Six
2. Prayer at JH
3. Block and Flip vs UF
4. First Time Ever at JH

For top decibels? As I've got them ranked.

For pure, consistent noise from the time the game clock started to the clock read 0:00? First Time Ever.

I know those were terrible times for Bama and some of the best times for Alabamas rivals. But despite Tommy Tuberville being the cock he was, I still had respect for those teams. They were hard hitting, smash mouth squads that ALWAYS gave us great games against LSU and Georgia and 2 years against Florida in 2006-2007. Auburn has had better success since then, but the way they played....is something I can respect. Though, sometimes it was rather boring and inept.

Auburn's had a perfect season since then?
















Oh yeah Chizik did what Gus couldn't.

There's no way the Prayer doesn't top the blocked field goal in 2006. It was a god damn hail mary against your second biggest rival in the most miraculous season in CFB history.

From a historical perspective and what it ultimately meant yes, obviously, the Hail Mary was bigger. I just remember the 06 Florida game and the blocked punt in particular as being a louder moment.

2006 LSU @ Auburn is the most physical cfb i've ever seen bar none, 2011 LSU @ Bama a distant second.

i'll never forget the pics of brandon cox's legs the day after the game. dorsey was a beast that day. it's too bad our two best runners that year were freshmen in their first big sec road game since most of the groundwork went to two out of shape guys coming off acl tears

Meh, that 2003 team that lost at home to USC looked pretty soft at times.

a lot of hype going into 2003 for Auburn too. I'll never forget how hot it was at that game. If you drank too much tailgating, you paid the price that day.

the 2002 Auburn-USC game was a lot more legit. I did a stint at Auburn from Fall 2001- Fall 2003.

2002 was probably the most fun football season out of all of them to watch. Even after Cadillac went down, the RB's stepped up. Ronnie Brown got rolling then Tre Smith came out of nowhere to stun Alabama at the end of the season. Brandon Johnson was a boss at fullback but even he was hurt for the Alabama game. I think Cooper Wallace took his spot for most of the game?

i played against Brandon Johnson a few times in high school. Strongest son a bitch ever. Never saw just one guy bring him down. He would carry the ball about 30 times a game and also played free safety. Rush Propst was the coach over there at Bryant.

KTBFFH

Why would any bama fan miss mid-2000s auburn teams?... unless they're a masochist.
