For me, it was Johnny Manziel's bobble-spin-touchdown pass against Alabama in 2012.

The first play you remember was in 2012?

Van Tiffin's 52 yard field goal in the 1985 Iron Bowl. My uncle is an Alabama fan and was screaming like a mad fool.

Me and my friends had one called "Warren Moon Jerry Rice Zone Pro Bowl" which was a route where the wr runs a deep over and when the safety comes up to cover, cut back into his unoccupied space at the post. You need a full 5 mississippi to let that route develop, and it's undefendable.

Overall the Wide Right 1 FSU-Miami, for Auburn the picks 6s vs. LSU in 94.

Colts fullback Alan Ameche scoring in the first NFL overtime game to defeat the Giants. 1959, I had just turned 10 and the Colts were my team.

Has to be a Packers play. May be Starr to Carroll Dale, or Jim Taylor leading Elijah Pitts on a Lombardi power sweep.

It’s harder for us old guys. My memories go back to early 70s. I remember the blocked kicks in the Punt Bama Punt game vs Auburn in ‘72. For those who don’t know the story, Bama was undefeated 10-0 and ranked #2. Lost 17-16. I was 7.

No specific play but I remember Johnny Musso running with that #22 cutoff tear-away jersey.

I also remember Lynn Swann’s diving, falling catch from Bradshaw against the Cowboys in Super Bowl X in 1976. It’s been replayed a million times so most have seen it but I was watching live with my dad. One of the greatest you’ll ever see. He had several more in that game almost as good.

Bama vs Penn State Goal Line Stand in ‘79 stands out.

The King and I at the Fox Theatre.
I probably was about 4 or 5 years old.
I think it was the actual Yul Brenner in the play (not that I could tell a difference at that age).

1997 Egg Bowl. Ole Miss’ Stewart Patridge TD pass and 2-pt conversion with 25 seconds left to win it 15-14. I was actually listening on the radio, but that’s as far back as I can remember.

ETA: I thought this was SEC-only. All football would be Marino’s fake spike in 1994.

'83 Iron Bowl (maybe '84... A bit fuzzy). Shitty conditions and pure ground and pound. I recall a long run by Bama to take the lead, a failed 2 pt conversion, and Bo Jackson answering with an equally great or better run for a lead Bama wouldn't overcome.

I can recall the range of emotions that went through all stages of grief for my dad.

Love the Iron Bowl. Hate UTk. It's just the way of the world.
