re: Pivotal games in your program's history and why?

The 1926 Rose Bowl game, in which the University of Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the heavily favored University of Washington Huskies, is often remembered in Alabama and throughout the South for restoring some measure of pride to the region.

Many southerners saw the Rose Bowl game as an opportunity to bring prestige and honor back to their region that had been ravaged by the Civil War. Even 60 years after the conflict, many older southerners remembered the war, and many more remembered Reconstruction. The South also was motivated by a national press that was critical of almost anything associated with the South, from the size of the southern brain cavity to the quality of its football. Thus, the Rose Bowl invitation to the University of Alabama (UA), the first team in the South to be so honored, set up what has been recognized by many historians and sports fans as the most important game in southern football history. Alabama was not simply representing its home state in a football game; it was carrying the banner for the entire South. One historian, in emphasizing the importance of the game's outcome, characterized it as an inspiration to southerners who had for so long been burdened by the combined effects of poverty and political and social isolation resulting from a demoralizing military defeat.

I'd think that this game was pivotal for all of our teams.

We came to Athens for the first time in SEC play made a statement by fricking them up between the hedges, basically saying that "We will not be toyed with, you peach-loving inbreds"

UT Sec championship game- incredible game and really got the ball rolling

2001 SEC CG. That was when the smoldering began that grew into the dumpster fire at UT.

Amazing how many posters on both sides recognize this truth. That was the day that UT and LSU swapped places in the hierarchy of the SEC. We were headed for our second MNC game in 4 years with a win. Instead, Phil lost more and more until we wound up with USC Kiffie and a mentally challenged male model named Doolander. We will cycle back - the only question is who are gonna swap places with?

Maybe Vanderbilt?

I think the most pivotal game in LSU history might have been the 2001 SECCG. Not only did it really establish LSU and Saban as being considered elite, it also started off the Tennessee downward spiral from which they have yet to recover. Tennessee was a win away from Miami in the BCS title game.

Son, you couldn't have displayed you stupidity more blatantly if you'd had "idiot" tattooed on your forehead. Come to think of it, you may want to consider the idea...folks won't have to wait to hear you speak to realize the fact.

PS-Many articles by football authorities have chronicled the events surrounding the game. Only an ignorant fool couldn't understand the importance of the game and how its outcome impacted history.

2011 loss to texas - would have come into the SEC with Mike Sherman as coach and Manziel on the bench if we hadn't lost that game

Too early to say for certain, but this might go down as the most program-changing game in the history of Aggie athletics.

"Many articles by football authorities" have chronicled a lot of stuff that ain't necessarily so.

Just because you think the college football world revolves around Tuscaloosa doesn't make it real.[/quote You got a real problem with that envy and jealousy, Peanut. I imagine there's a giant-sized inferiority complex to go along with them....they'll eat your guts out if you don't do something about that.
