Being in Tiger stadium for the 2012 and 2014 games are some of my fondest memories as a bama fan

It gotten to the point where LSU fans hate Bama as much if not more than Auburn fans do'
Auburn fans have been relatively tame the past few years (for obvious reasons, I know). They used to be so fricking annoying when I was in high school. My first Iron Bowl was the 2009 game and I was practically a kid at the time but had so many grown redneck men trying to antagonize me. I swore I'd never go back but broke that last season. I just knew I was going to end up in jail that weekend because I'll drop a man quick who tries to get in my face now.
But to my surprise, their fans were great. Met some wonderdul people and didn't have a single issue with anyone. I know their attitude will change when they start winning again but I can honestly say I enjoyed that trip. Even when it appeared Bama was going to lose, no one talked shite. Georgia and LSU fans have gone full retard. In terms of a paranoid inferiority complex, I'd say Georgia is worse than LSU. It's to the point where I pull for Auburn against LSU and UGA.

I live in Louisiana so 2011 is a sentimental favorite but 2015 was a legit title fight from beginning to end.
Also we had this..
"Look out, Kenyan Drake can fly".

21-0 because it singlehandedly destroyed a fan base and ruined a program for a decade all in one night.

Notre Dame. My father looked at me at the end the game and told me he had waited his entire life to see it. One of my dearest memories of my dad and Alabama football.

9-6
But seriously, this site was almost unreadable for all of November and December with LSU fans just replying "9-6" to everything. They have not recovered from that loss.
"21-0" just hits different

21-0 was fun because I knew some LSU fans who were already bitching about having to play Bama again because deep down they knew they were lucky to have won the first time.

2009. Was working in Argentina at the time. Kept my oldest (8 at the time) up to watch, as I hadn't seen Bama win a NC since I was 13.
Had I known so many more titles won and played for were to follow, I might have let her go to sleep.
But, probably not, I've had a football buddy for life. She'll be 22 next month and lives in Miami. We still stay on the phone with each other every Saturday

That's a tough one. I guess I'd have to say 2009 just because it was our return to the top after a LONG time.
But, as far as the games, probably the Tua to Davonta game to beat UGA. But, 21-0 and Lacey running all over ND are very close behind.

2017 season championship against Georgia in Mercedes. Was there in person. Unbelievable end.

2009. We were so down for so long, I had gotten to the point where I was just hoping that we’d get into the top 10 every few years.
For perspective, I was in school for our first losing season in about 50 years. Then came another soon after, then probation. A title seemed so far away. 2009 changed everything.

2009 will always be my favorite, it was the first NC I had really experienced. I was too young to remember 1992, so all I had to go on were the stories.
Brandon Deaderick getting shot, then playing a week later. Mark Ingram taking over the USCw game, Rocky Block, Julio's TD vs LSU, Javier Arenas setting the punt return TD record, "The Drive", making Tebow cry, and Marcell Dareus making himself millions in the Texas game.
What a TEAM. Likely the least talented of them, but it was such a cohesive unit...

let me say this first. 1992 will always be my favorite. i had no expectation of a natty under stallings. then destroying miami like that, was just pure bliss. it was different when saban was hired. shortly after his hiring a friend (die hard uga fan) and i were going at it and i actually said to him, bama with saban would win a natty before uga even won the sec. he nearly had a stroke, lol.
as for the saban natty's, notre dame is the one i keep going back and rewatching. shoving it down their throat on that first drive, was beautiful. then mccarron on point, lacey making manti teo look foolish. but the argument between mccarron and barrett on national tv fired me up so much.

2015, loved the coker arc

I’m from Louisiana so 2011 was my favorite. Second 2009.

Tua throw for the championship
Posted on 8/29/24 at 5:55 pm to Bear88
2nd and 26 in OT is my favorite.
That 2012 championship vs ND was almost boring...like watching a game vs Chattanooga in mid November. Worst team to play for a NC in years...until TCU came along and embarrassed the sport.
