2013 Outback Bowl. South Carolina vs. Michigan.
Had some great plays and an awesome ending.
That one and the first Outback Bowl win against Ohio State, where Ryan Brewer went off against the team that he grew up a big fan of and who snubbed him. To me that was the game that solidified our place in the SEC.

It would be hard to top the 1993 Sugar Bowl for me. We were heavy underdogs, despite being #2 and undefeated. I think we beat 8 or 9 bowl teams that year as well.
All we heard was how we shouldn't be there, how Miami was going to destroy us and our boring style of football.
3 INTs, one running strip, and a merciless ground game later and Gino Toretta went from Heisman winner to 6th round draft pick.
That defense was absolutely sick. I think we finished with 8 All-SEC players and 4 All-Americans (Antonio Langham, George Teague, John Copeland, Eric Curry). It was also the first National Championship I was old enough to remember - being born in 1977, I was alive for 78 and 79, but obviously don't remember them.

2008 Music City, 1st VU bowl game I ever attended and VU won. Thanks god for DJ Moore and UK, that season really started to fall apart and look like so many others from the 1990s and mid 2000s until he took the game into his own hands.

2000 season
Peach Bowl
Rohan Davey's breakout 2nd half.
Think we were down 14-0 at half.

2010 BSCNG.. Why? Because frick tRant that's why. The melt was fantastic. Still waiting on the title strip I was assured was to come.

I'm not going to lie.
Spanking a big name school's arse in the Gator Bowl while two other teams were also spanking Big Ten teams was really satisfying.
It was sort of like playing for a natty in baseball. We were getting pats on the butt like we belonged in the SEC. Like the kids at the end of the bench who get their shot and just drain three pointers and the starters treat them like they are part of the team instead of the jock washers.

As much as I enjoyed the Nebraska beat down, and the Michigan game was certainly thrilling, the Ryan Brewer Bowl is my favorite. For that guy to single-handedly beat the team that he wasn't good enough to play for is a memory that still makes me smile.
Over time, given enough perspective, I think we'll look back on the Wisky Cap 1 Bowl as an excellent memory, if only for the way Shaw showed out in his last collegiate game. I almost expected him to leave his cleats on the field.

2005 Peach bowl when we beat the ever-living crap out of Miami 40-3
Then the following season the 2007 Sugar Bowl where we beat the crap out of Notre Dame 41-14
These are my one and two cause I can't stand their of these programs and the beatdown was fantastic. Being in the house for these games were great experiences. Would have been to unoriginal to say 2003 or 2007 Natty's.

1986 Sugar Bowl, Miami shows up in camo ready to wreck shop and even the announcers didn't give UT a chance. Vols win 35-7.

The 2005 Peach Bowl against Miami and 2006 Sugar Bowl against Notre Dame both hold special places in my heart.

1993 Sugar Bowl over the U. Shut all my friends up big time.
2013 BCSCG. I have an undying hatred for ND.
ETA: 1978 Orange Bowl. Hogs blow out the Sooners. There's a "tl;dr :CSB: attached to it I won't bore y'all with.

Geez...........that's even worse than the "FEMA can't buy you an SEC championship" signs that were in the Georgia Dome at the 2005 SEC 'ship.

Miami fans and their players have always been shite.

Aside from the obvious 2003 and 2007 National Championships...I thoroughly enjoyed kicking Texas A&M arse in the Cotton Bowl and Notre Dame's arse in the Sugar Bowl.

2008 Cotton Bowl
Me and a group of my best friends went to Dallas and did NYE, had a recovery day on the 1st, and had the game on the 2nd. My gf at the time had some sorority sisters who were from Dallas and their parents had a pretty slick tailgate set up with a rv, kegs, etc. The game was at 12 so we got their pretty early and were pounding beers and hearing shite talk from the passerby TT fans in all their precious pirate shirtz.
Walked right into the old Cotton Bowl (final time the game was played there, attendance was 88k) with a bottle of bourbon, could have brought a handle.
Our seats werent great but it was a damn blast of a game. OM went down 14-0 and then woke up to dirt-roll their punk asses. The way we just turned it on after going down 14-0 to an 11-1 team in front of 88k was just awesome. Was there with a group of my best friends, beautiful weather, and the Rebels absolutely dominated a team who had been the media's darling all year long.
And yea, I talked just a tad bit of shite afterwards.

Either 2005 destruction of Miami because it was the katrina year and the team wasn't 100% by the time the seccg came around. It was awesome seeing that team play a full game against miami. Miami fans had signs that said, "we're going to finish what katrina started".
Yeah, the guys played 11 games straight and were wore out in ATL. Not saying UGA didn't have a better team, but the guys were tired. 4 weeks of rest and Canes were beat in every facet, including an arse whipping in the tunnel after the game.
