2009, 2011, or 2012?
This one is really tough for me. I tend to lean towards 2009 because we were undefeated, and especially for the championship game.
The rematch with LSU is probably my least favorite just because I was pretty much numb after the earlier loss. It felt surreal.
What do you all think?

2012. The last one is always the best one.

2009, undefeated, ended the Urban reign and beat Texas. Doesn't get much better than that.
Plus it was the first one in long time.

As a defense enthusiast, it can't get any better than the 2011 team

Didn't miss a game in person for 2009. Quite an experience.
Missed Arky and LSU (my grandpa died on Wednesday of this week, or I was there) for 2012, but seeing us thwomp Notre Dame was a treat!
2011 I missed Ms St game...but the Championship game was the most fun I've ever had out of all three. Partied all week with friends and foes alike on Bourbon. A drunk LSU fan heckled us as he sat behind us for a while, but stayed to take his medicine until the final buzzer.
My most enthralling experience was UGA in the Georgia Dome this year with Bama UT in 2009 in second. As the other games were assured before the end. Those two games took years off my life or strengthened my heart. Time will tell.

Hard to say. I am going to go with 2011. Just complete defensive domination. It was like a dream. Very surreal, indeed.

But this past year has enlightened me that I just might like offensive production as well. Wow is Bama talented during these past few years and for the near future. I have attended regularly since Stallings final two years, and I've seen it all. I am loving every minute of it.

2009--I was a senior at BAMA, went to every home game and made the trip to pasenda with my best friend in college. Watching us beat Texas in the Rose Bowl was an incredible experience that ill never forget.

I was a Senior in HS in 2009-10. One of the best years of my life. Went to every home game, SEC Championship, and BCSNCG. In terms of how much I enjoyed the year/games, 2009 is my favorite. In terms of style of play, 2011.

2009 and it's not even close. Michael Irvin was 100% right when he said there is nothing like the first one. That was our first time at the mountaintop and it started our run. It was also our only undefeated season and there were so many memorable moments such as the Mount Cody blocked kick, the Julio Jones game winning TD against LSU, the big comeback against Auburn, getting revenge against Florida in the SEC Championship Game, Ingram going off against South Carolina, etc.... That season was satisfying in so many ways. The only way that season can be eclipsed for me is if Bama puts together a season like 1995 Nebraska and destroys everybody on their way to a national championship. It would literally have to be a GOAT-level team to top the satisfaction I got from watching the 2009 Bama squad.

Definitely 11. After hearing all the shite talking by the LSU fans, and all of the naysayers on ESPN, it was nice to shut everyone up in a very convnicing fashion. Plus I was at the Superdome. It was my very first bowl game ever and my first time marching in a football arena. It was surreal. 
IMHO the hype leading up for the NCG this year was better than the game itself. It was kinda boring after halftime, and all of the Notre Dame fans were gone. But the was some satisfaction in beating them that badly and crushing their dreams like that.
Especially since their fans were almost as annoying as those drunken purple Cajuns were down in New Orleans.
I would have love to have been there in 09 though. I'm sure the atmosphere was electric. Hopefully we get to go this year.

2009 ....especially after the way the season ended with lossed to Fla and Utah the previous year

2009 was amazing. I'll go with 2011 because I was in the building, and getting revenge after the "Game of the Century" was sweet justice.

2009 was my freshman year, and I don't feel the other two matched the excitement of that one. Yes, we are all spoiled.
