What's your favorite memory growing up in the SEC

My favorite memory was beating the shite out of LSU during the 90s so bad y’all quit playing us.

Of course, now y’all are much better.

Watching McFadden, Felix Jones, and Hillis run wild.

Also watching our Petrino teams back to back double digit win seasons. Even the year before that should’ve been a ten win season if not for the refs screwing us against Tebow and Florida.

Probably the Firehose game against Aubrun.

I'm old enough to have grown up listening to SEC games
on radio and the announcers voices were synonymous with
each team. Scan the dial , hear the voice and you knew the
team playing ----John Forney and Eli Gold Alabama , John Ward Tennessee, Larry Munson Georgia, , Mick Hubert Florida,
Jim Fyffe and Rod Bramblett at Auburn , Paul Eells Arkansas , Jack Cristil 58-years as the voice of Mississippi State and many more. All were
wonderful "homers" for their teams and their agony over bad calls
or descriptions of great plays could be a thing of beauty.
This was before almost every game was televised. Those voices
would paint a picture of the game and let your imagination come alive ,
rather than everything in front of you and explained to death what you already know..
As a kid , I would not trade listening to Alabama games with my Dad on
Saturdays for anything. Leaning forward on big plays , excitement in the announcer voice , a pause and
you knew by the crowd reaction whether it worked or not.
I guess the saying , "you had to be there" is the only way to describe
those golden years of SEC football radio announcing. Love'm all..

Georgia's Larry Munson famous call

SEC double headers at The Vet in Jackson MS…the SWAC would play a third game sometimes after the two SEC games with OM and Mississippi State still painted in the end zones.

“Joe Montana was a bench warmer with visiting Notre Dame in 1977 when Ole Miss knocked off the No. 1 Fighting Irish.

On this field is where Alabama’s 28-game winning streak was buried on Nov. 1, 1980 by Mississippi State, 6-3.

This was the site of SEC football doubleheaders — yes, two conference games in one day, such as Ole Miss vs. LSU in the afternoon and Alabama vs. Mississippi State at night.”

Is this even a question?

The bags of money and new cars.

I guess mine was 3 days ago when we became a member.....good memory.

I knew a new era was about to happen after that game.

Grew up in northern Oklahoma in the heart of Big 8 country. There were no night games in the Big 8. And in those days there was usually only one or two games on TV every Saturday afternoon. Rarely a prime time game.

Used to go to my room after dark and tune in 870 WWL on the radio and listen to the LSU games sometimes. This was in the Tommy Casanova/Bert Jones era. Couldn't get the day games.
