The 03'-04' Bama basketball team making it to the elite 8 as a 9 seed after having a 12-10 record at one point was awesome. That team absolutely caught fire in March. Beat #1 Stanford and defending national champ Syracuse in the Tourney before finally being eliminated by UConn.

The '07 season for me. I hadn't been watching Bama football that long, and I could tell that the '08 season was going to be something special. Toward the end of '07 I was more hopeful than ever.

The 2007 Blackout was a great game and I really enjoyed it but I have had higher highs. Dirty Dawg earlier said my #2 when we beat #2 UF in 2012. I expected Georgia to choke again and they came out and won an incredibly exciting game.
That said, my pinnacle was actually this year vs LSU in 2013. Obviously I didn't know what was coming for Georgia vs UT and so on and I also thought LSU was better than they actually were at the time but that was the absolute peak of my fanhood thus far in my life. Clemson had left a bitter taste but I was already high on Georgia after beating South Carolina but I truly wanted to beat LSU more than the other 2. I wanted Mett to lose, LSU fans to lose and for Georgia to show it belonged with it's ranking and for 4 quarters I rode an emotional roller coaster in one of the most vibrant if not the most vibrant Sanford Stadium atmospheres I have ever been in. Murray's late TD and Mett getting knocked down several times the last drive was a great ending and I don't think I have ever been happier after a Georgia game.

While the '03 & '07 BCS titles were both awesome, for me the pinnacle was the Warren Morris homer to beat Miami in the CWS. So dramatic. Still get chillbumps thinking about it.

I also am somewhat worried knowing that there is no way that I can ever experience such an epic game and feeling as this.
Yea it does kinda suck.

walking into the Orange Bowl knowing we were going to kick the shite out of Notre Dame and just... doing it
three titles in four years
I will never see that again in all likelihood

Lol. Only a aubie would say their pinnacle would be a victory over their rival rather than winning it all. Wow.

I thought the same thing.

What about doing both?
More than a few Georgia fans have actually told me that beating Florida is more important than winning a title.

NCAA '07 Title game in Atlanta. 5 min left and all the OSU fans got up and walked out. Like someone flipped a switch or sent out a secret signal. Very strange, we all just laughed. Loved seeing One Shining Moment in person.
I knew I'd be too excited to sleep so I drove home after the game and got in at 6:00 am. That started days of celebrating!
Runner up - watching the '06 Championship Game with 12,000 of my closest friends in the O'Dome and then storming out onto University Ave. Great times.
