Mine are
1996 - Riddle swing pass for the win. My first real in person Iron Bowl memory. It was awesome.
2008 - Just pure euphoria the entire 2nd half

I was at that one as well. I was in the endzone he scored in.

I will never forget that game. It was so awesome, old Legion Field was shaking, Riddle going into the Auburn students and them throwing shakers on him, Gameday set up outside, Stallings retiring after.
I still have one of those paper signs with the score on it that I begged my dad to buy me after the game.

Same here - our season tickets were like 2/3 of the way up right above the visitors in the middle of the end zone.

Second half of the 2014 Iron Bowl.

That was pretty great. Damn was I mad when they scored at the very end.

I was in the second row of upper deck for that 96 Iron Bowl. When Riddle scored, I thought for sure that thing was coming down.
Amazing how more of my "favorite" Iron Bowl moments are more a sense of relief than other great games. Kind of sums up how we all approach it. I don't think I would rank any Iron Bowl I've attended in my Top 5 favorite games. 2008 is probably the closest. I had a bloodlust that day and it was satisfied.

Yep - exactly. 2009, 2014 were both that way. 2012 was awesome for like 10 minutes then I honestly just kind of felt bad for Chiz. 2011 they sucked, 2014 and 2015 they sucked. 2016 they sucked.
2008 though...........bloodlust, excellent choice of words. That rammer jammer was as angry and loud as anything I've ever heard/screamed, and that includes the 2005 directly at Phil Fulmer one.

Me to.......me too
Sitting center-cut endzone as Davis came flying down the sideline and was unable to get out for 45 minutes. Literally rode the entire rid back to Atlanta with wife and siblings and nobody said a word until we pulled into the driveway. Can't say I've ever been around something like that.
Sheesh

I was at that game. It was miserable for 58 minutes and as soon as the game was over, I was nothing but relieved and immediately started thinking about Florida.

2012
Was awesome because we could've picked our score but I'm still salty about not scoring 50.
2014 was fun but there was about a 20 minute span where I had a weakness and questioned Saban's coaching ability as well where football ranked in the priorities in my life.
Upsets rarely happen in the series and when they do, it's usually Auburn that's pulling off the upset. Even in those games, Auburn was probably the better team....except for 2002. We could have a entire thread about that game and how I'm 100% in the camp that Fran threw that game in order to make it easier for him to go to A&M.

Me too. About row 3, right behind the camera guy on the box. However, I was maybe the only Bama fan that left the game in a good mood.

I was in the Auburn student section. The end was pretty fun.

LOLOLOL wow. I just remember as he caught the ball thinking "Wait, I think this is a live ball. Yea it's a live ball. There's nobody. We lost."

If you look at the replay and see a guy in a black jacket with a red Detroit Red Wings hat, thats me.

Amen brother.
Amusing story:
I watched the 2008 IB with my family: grandparents, aunts/uncles, siblings, everybody.
My grandmother is an old school legit teetotaler southern baptist. So we always kept the peace by hiding our drinks in yeti cups or something like that.
Well, that all came crashing to an end somewhere towards the end of 4th quarter of the 2008 iron bowl. They had the ball. I was jumping on the couch, literally, screaming “kill him” because I wanted us to preserve the shutout. One foot slipped off the cushion, and I dumped a whole IPA on my grandmothers head.
The room went dead silent except for the tv. Her hair was sopping wet. And you know how pungent those ipas can be. Some of it had run down her face onto her lips.
She spat it out and dryly said something along the lines of “if you’re trying to get me to drink, that nasty stuff ain’t gonna work”
