First game - not sure but i think it was against UF in the 2000 SECCG. not great. i may have gone to a cupcake or two prior to that, but that's the earliest one i can remember.

Best game - every home game for 2013. i was a senior that year so it was quite a way to go out. had more fun that year than 2010 no joke.

Worst game - TAMU 2012 without question.

First: 1984 Wrong way Bo Iron Bowl. My uncle would take my brother and I to games and actually saw a few Bo games.

Best: Tough to call with so many: 2010 championship game, 2004 LSU game or Kick 6

Worst: Easy > 2012 ATM. frick that day and game.

1st - Ga Tech - 1982

Best - Iron Bowl - 1989

Worst - (up until recently I would respond immediately & unequivocally):
LSU - 1988

…now it’s a tie along with:

Those two last minute soul crushing, heartbreaking losses will haunt me for all of my days.

You were not at the 2011 Utah State game? That was the worst win I ever attended

no, missed that abomination, and the Jax St overtime fiasco

at least in those two games we actually showed enough life to come from behind late to eke out the victory

the 2022 Mizzou misery stands alone as the most undeserved win in AU history in any sport

Tie between 1989 Iron Bowl (Bringing the Iron Bowl Home) and 2013 Iron Bowl (Kick Six). If I honestly had to pick which one means more to me? The 1989 Iron Bowl.

Worst Auburn game to attended



1985 Iron Bowl. Because I could see the SEC refs fixing that damn game with my own eyes.

I looked at them as more of a failure on our opponents part than our ability to come back


That Utah State game was pathetic from start to finish

I’ll add a second level-

Game you attended where AU was screwed out of victory-

1996 Georgia Game. Refs gave UGA additional time; granted we played like crap after going up like 28-7 but still- lost in OT.

First - 1978 Miami FL at JHS - tough loss

Best - 2013 Iron Bowl - sat in the middle of a bunch of loud annoying Bama fans, so sweet to tell them goodbye after the Kick Six

Worst - 2013 National Championship - we should have beat FSU, cannot stand Jameis, Jimbo, and the chop chant ever since then

Wettest - 2009 West Virginia - stopped the game for rain, and rain, and more rain, we hid under the stands

our opponents failed, but we didn’t

In the Mizz game there were multiple failures on both sides throughout

in the end they failed more (missed chipshot FG in regulation by the best kicker in school history, offsides on a missed FG in o/t allowing us to make it the second time, inexplicable fumble by RB inches from a game winning TD in o/t)

whole game was like two monkeys trying to frick a football, but the football gets pissed off and beats the shite out of both of them

First time I saw Auburn play was in 1957 against Florida. I do not remember the game.

First time I saw Auburn play at home was in 1961 against UK. Don't remember that one either.

The first game I have memories of was the 1963 Iron Bowl.

The best game was the 1989 Iron Bowl

The worst game was the 2012 UGA game.

To be fair I was out of the south from 2004-2020 and didn’t make a game between the 2004 Citadel game and the 2021 Birmingham Bowl.

First: 2008 AU vs LSU (game day was in town, even though both teams ended up sucking)

Best: 2010 AU vs UGA

Worst: 2009 vs Ole Miss (11:00am, cold and rainy. Etheridge broke his neck. Auburn won, so I’ve been lucky with games)
