For me it’s definitely the NCG vs LSU. Just the most dominant defensive game a CFB team has ever played.


Plus it broke their fan base for 10+ years

The national championship game against Clemson....the one where we just successfully recovered an onside kick....as the camera went to the sidelines Saban had that strut looking back with that devilish smile on his face!!!

I was 12 when 21-0 happened. Watched it with my Grandpa in his bedroom. I watched the Camback and the GOTC part 1 in that same room. Needless to say I’ll treasure that memory forever. He’s passed on now. He was from Mississippi and was only a OM/MSU fan until I came along and he loved watching Bama games with me. I’ll never forget him telling me what LSU stood for after the game: Ladies Silk Underwear gotta love old man jokes. That’ll always be my favorite game. Thank you Coach Saban for so many great memories. Even when we lost, it was epic because we were always getting people’s best and it was like the other team won the Super Bowl.

Yep. Notre Dame. Winning that game and my dad’s reaction to it will be with me forever.

Lot to choose from. Probably 2nd and 26 game. If he doesn’t have the balls to pull Hurts for Tua, that’s likely one less NC. Or maybe the NC game vs Clemson when he called the onside kick.

Had to be the 2012 LSU game for me. Was in a bar at a Biloxi casino filled with LSU people. After a dismal 2nd half, McCarron to Yeldon screen pass in the final seconds stole their souls. They were tearing their teeth out.

That first iron bowl win in 2008. A pure arse whipping and could have been worse. I ruined my voice for days singing rammer jammer that cold rainy night. Was also my Dad’s last Iron Bowl game before he passed.

When Tebow cried. I couldn’t believe that we were finally for real again.

Notre Dame 2012 for sure. Watching my dad exercising those demons from the Bryant years was awesome.

He passed away just before this season started, hate he missed this last year…

2014 Iron Bowl or 2015 vs LSU because I was there for both. Highest scoring Iron Bowl in history, and watching the 2015 defense shut down Fournette completely was a great time.

2nd and 26 National Championship game for me. Was there in person and it was "snatching victory from the jaws of defeat" in real time!!! Amazing night in an amazing venue!!! I've seen lots of Bama games in person in my 71 (tomorrow) years, but that ranks at the top!!!

The entirety of the 2008 season.

We'd been mediocre for so long.

And suddenly we were making their arse quit.

Came up short against Florida and then got embarrassed by Utah.

But I think everyone knew the tide had turned.

Whole game? Probably 21-0.

I was talking to my son tonight about all the individual plays. He’s 19, so he only remember this era of football. We talked about a turning point when if felt like we might have been slipping. The onside kick and Kenyan Drake’s KOR against Clemson sort of reignited everything again, so that one is probably #2 for me.
