That 2004 Auburn-LSU was my best as well.
First- 97 UCF? Maybe. Dante Culpepper was their qb

Worst- some of the A day games are pretty blah

'78 loss to GT
'89 Bama
'96 beat down in FL was worst road loss I ever attended. The home ones are hard to decide on but one I have not seen mentioned yet is the '98 shutout loss to UVA to open the season after winning SEC West the year before.

First


I have pictures of being at games most of my life, but I would say the first strong memory I have of being at an auburn football game was one of the first iron bowls in JHS. We won and after the game the students were passing the goal post up the student section to presumably throw it over on the Alabama busses. Someone came over the speakers and said, "Students, for your own safety, please do not throw the goal posts over the side of the stadium."

I'll cheat here and name 2.
06 Florida - this is when my wife (girlfriend at the time) fell in love with Auburn sports.
2010 National Championship in Glendale.

Worst


I try to erase bad games from my memory, but will probably go along with 2012 aTm.

Wildest experience at a game was probably the West Virginia flood game. I remember trying to describe it to people who weren't there and the common response was, oh, so it rained a lot, and you guys stood in the rain and listened to music on the loud speakers, ok...

AU vs NW LA or something like that, I don't remember. Some bad homecoming game in the 90s.

Most enjoyable was probably the 2004 UGA game. Natty was good, of course.

Worst was the blackout UGA Soulja boy game

Although nothing broke my heart like UVA in Minneapolis.

1st: Auburn vs Texas 1983 - I was 7 years old but remember it pretty well! That was the only game Auburn lost the entire season

Now my next two I must preface by saying that I grew up in Louisiana and have lived the majority of my life in the Baton Rouge area - so that really has an impact on my best game and my worst game.

Best: Auburn vs LSU 1999 - when Auburn came into Baton Rouge and blew out a favored LSU team

Worst: Auburn vs LSU 1988 - aka "The Earthquake Game" - I was a young guy growing up an Auburn fan in Baton Rouge.. this was the first time I was able to see an Auburn football game in my hometown.... obviously I don't need to get into the story of how Auburn lost that game, we all know. But I'm still not over that one LOL

I was also at the earthquake game. My first, last, and only trip to Red Stick. I would have listed it if I’d done honorable mention for worst game.

First: 1993 Florida, well at least first I have an actual, vivid memory of. I'm sure I was brought to others.

Best: Kick Six or National Championship

Worst: probably 2008 Iron Bowl but there are a few contenders up there from recent years.

Only time I have ever come to going to jail at a college football game. I had to hold my wife and her friends hands to get out. That game showed just how envious UGA was and still is of Aubie. I loathe those people.

1968- was my first SEC game. Auburn vs Georgia in Auburn. First Auburn game was same year about 3 weeks before. Back then Boy Scouts were the real deal and our scout group from Phenix City got to usher that season in JHS. I also sold programs for a few years.
1971- first away game. Auburn vs Georgia in Athens. Pat Sullivan won the Heisman that day. Family in Social Circle and Monroe.
1973- first Iron Bowl (Birmingham). Dad was huge Bryant man. Bama won 35-0.
1989- best game. First Iron Bowl in Auburn. Nothing can compare to that entire weekend.
Tie…1990- worst game attended. Auburn vs Ole Miss in Jackson, Ms. Hottest (temperature) I have ever been in. Well in the low 100’s, Game was played in afternoon, EMT’s carrying people out on stretchers. Concessions out of ice and drinks at halftime.
2007 Blackout in Athens. Thought I was going to jail! Hate those assholes.

First game is fuzzy. Could have been 1984 against Arkansas in the Liberty Bowl.

First game I truly remember attending was the 1987 UT game. Tied 20-20. Incidentally, I also attended the Sugar Bowl that same season. The 16-16 Pat Tie game against Syracuse.

Best Game- 1989 Iron Bowl. No question. Father & son trip for the ages.


Worst Game- maybe 2003 USC- what made it so bad was waiting all game, in vain, to honor Jim with a touchdown AU chant that never came. 2013 versus FSU is a close second.
