2015 (vs Clemson)

2009 was awesome because it was the first and it was great to get a win over Texas. But my favorite has to the win over Georgia. We got beat down bad in the first half and it looked over. Then a group of freshmen took over in the second half and lead us to an awesome come from behind, overtime win. That game to
me was the best one (so far) under Saban.

I like the win over UGA but that Clemson game was a battle as well. Plus the Drake kickoff return.

2017 (although they're all very special) and I'm so ready for the next one, hopefully this season.

There's some better individual moments in the other ones, but 2009 was the first time I got to ever experience Bama in a NC game(I was an infant for '92).
Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, I finally got to see this program back on top. Not a "pretty good" 10 win season, ON TOP.

My favorite team was 2016. That was a hell of a game in Tampa.
But choosing those listed, I would go with 2009.

It’s a shame that 2016 team doesn’t have a ring. That was such a great season.
The 2009 NC game was epic but the game itself was pretty weird.
Of course 2nd & 26 is tough to beat but my personal favorite was the Notre Dame blowout. To me, it just doesn’t get any better than that.

Most fun one for me is the Notre Dame game in 2012. I was in the stadium and never had to sweat that game. It was on cruise control the whole way. Fun beatdown and we owed them.

Yep that game vs. Notre Dame was very fun to watch. It was a complete beat down from start to finish

I'll go 2011 Championship.
Start to finish smothering, arse whipping shutout.
LSU fans will never get over the big stage embarrassment of that game. It made a few forever hate the Crimson Tide.

2015 & 2017 are tied with me - mainly due to the big play nature of both games. The highlight reel for both are unreal.
While I know it was not a Saban-coached team, the 92 game was so much fun to watch. While the Teague back-to-back big plays were something to behold, what stands out to me the most is watching Ruth Ann and Johnny Stallings celebrate. That was a special night.

UGA 2017

2017, just because plays like that practically never happen in sports. There has never been a buzzer beater to win an NBA Finals, only twice has there ever been a walk off HR to win a World Series, only one Super Bowl has gone to overtime, and while 3 Super Bowls have been won on last second FGs, all of them came in tied games. The closest college comparisons I can think of would be Vince Young in 2005, Kris Jenkins in 2016, Lorenzo Charles in 1983, and unfortunately Clemson on a blatantly illegal pick play in 2016, but only Vince Young in 2005 was a true do or die play. Jenkins' 3 and Charles' famous dunk both happened in tied games.

Going to Miami and just beating the Hell out of the Irish and their pasty stuck up fans for our second title in a row was just surreal.
Of course I was also fortunate enough to be in Atlanta and the euphoria I had after 2nd & 26 will probably never be duplicated.
The 93 Sugar Bowl was also special because of the way that game played out and it was my “first” championship. The Superdome was absolutely electric that night. I had to live off that game for 17 years.
The Texas game at the Rose Bowl was special and a great experience but the 2nd half sucked. I enjoyed that trip but it still felt anti-climatic following that Florida win. It didn’t help that we sleptwalk through the second half.
Great Bama problems to have.

Loved the beatdowns we gave Notre Dame and LSU for the laughs, but I just can't pick a favorite; they all have something special about them.
Posted on 4/30/20 at 9:49 am to Ted2010
2015 will forever be my favorite
2009 SEC Championship game will forever be my all time favorite of the Saban era

I could pick any one of those games for one reason or another. But, if we're just talking about the game and how it all unfolded, that 2017 game will go down in history.

Everyone is a superior memory, but probably the LSU win to me. It vindicated the 9-6 debacle, plus it was a game I felt Bama "had" to win. Had Bama lost,it would have been trampled by the media that didn't want to see the rematch. Plus, the convincing way Bama won made it all the better.

Absolutely. LSU was never a threat to score in that game. We scored a late TD in the game. Man those were some great defenses. As a defensive coordinator I loved both those games that year.
