An under the radar one but.. first UT game. I had just gotten married earlier that year and was making the trip to Missouri to see wifes extended family .. They live in the sticks. I made sure my rental car had satellite radio so I could at least listen to the game.
Saban goes on side kick from the get go and kicks UT's but from there out He wasn't at Bama to lose
( I was listening to the game and my wife's grandfather comes out.. Then takes me to his brothers trailer... Man had satellite connections and was stealing everything broadcast....so watched it from there)

Was in 1st year of Med school in Florida and was watching the game with bunch of gator fans. They were sure they were going to win but they melted down hard at the end. Been a crazy ride ever since. I had kinda lost interest in football before that time but I used to watch bama with my grandpa when I was a kid he was from Mobile and big bama fan. He died not long after saban won #3 at Alabama but he sure enjoyed those years.

2011 season national title (21-0) was the most complete game and the most definitive sign of what Alabama had become.
2018 Hurts redemption was the most unbelievable, Hollywood moment.
2020 season was the most complete overall season, despite Golding doing his best to torpedo a couple games.

The 2009 SEC championship. That might have been the best team Saban ever blew out.

For me it’s definitely the NCG vs LSU
Same here.
But one of the most enjoyable games was the 3 loss 2010 team beating the brakes off of Michigan State in the bowl game. I don’t think State had anybody left that wanted to play QB that day.
How that loaded team lost 3 games is unbelievable.

2017 Natty vs Georgia. Saban vs Kirby pt 1.
2nd half with Tua finally running the show was like poetry in motion.
Then of course 2nd and 26. Tua to Smitty. Both Bama legends forever. Followed by the happiest I’ve ever seen Nick Saban.

Same for me. Exactly as you described it. Roll Tide!

first UT game
We had a losing streak, UT was obviously favored, and from the word “go”, he started and did not look back.
That was the moment I really went, “Man, that’s my coach!”

2014 against LSU, sitting in the upper deck, freezing, watching us hold Fournette to 1 YPC…
Georgia 2015, the washout. Georgia barking at our players and then just running over them all day to a shutout. Scalped two tickets for 199.50, guy finally took 99.50 for the second and that was all the cash I had. Stayed for the whole thing and nearly started a fight ringing that white bell of theirs on campus after
Clemson 2015, my freshman year a roommate had worked on the team and told us about this onside trick play. A year and a half later Saban pulls it out of a hat, makes me go crazy, then I nearly fall over when I realize it was That play we just ran
That 2017 Georgia game. Feeling the Georgia fans turn to fear in the second half when Tua started mounting a few drives. You’re behind ten points, in a Georgia home stadium, but feel like you’re in the drivers seat
There’s a lot, but those 2013-2017 years were just absolutely the peak for me
Oh and of course Georgia going to their own funeral in 2008

2012 SEC Champ Game!
Posted on 1/11/24 at 9:34 am to mistaken4193
For me it will always be the 2009 SECCG. That was the realization that the torch was being passed & we were gonna win alot of championships w Saban as HC.

2012 LSU game

2008 Clemson. While other games were more exciting or had bigger consequences, the 2008 Clemson game was a statement game. As Herbie said in the booth during the game...."Be careful. Be careful with Alabama."
The game had everything Alabama fans wanted to see for over 10 years. Good, sound OL play. Power running. Great tackling. Great physicality.
