The Jumbotron video from the late 90's?

This one?

Phew. That’s got me ready for some Alabama football

That was a fun game...bringing in a decent name team like BYU for a night game to open the expanded stadium. We didn't get many decent OOC games at home in the 90s.

And Alexander breaks the Bama rushing TD record of course. I'd forgotten Fernando Bryant played a few offensive snaps at WR back then.

Back when Alabama was arse, I probably played this video every day to make myself feel better as a kid. I grew up during the shittiest years of Bama football in 50 years followed by arguably Bama’s greatest run ever.

Will never forget how pumped that video made me. There was also this book by Eli Gold where he talked with a lot of Alabama alums like Bennett, Teague, Langham, Musso, Tiffin and others that was a really good read. Would often read it before bed. I was so down bad during the mid 2000s for good football lol. Would’ve never dreamed it would become a world wide meme where sports fans in whole other countries would hold up signs saying their club wanted Bama.

Saban has done insane things for Alabama. That will last for generations.

That was a good one. We need to update it with one done by Spielberg or somebody...maybe 5 minutes long, covering the entire history..and send it to all the recruits.

This is the time I was enrolled at the University and for some games, this pregame video was the only highlight.

I was there during the DuBose error...but at least we got the SEC championship season of 1999...somehow...thanks to Alexander, Milons, etc. Imagine being a recent Auburn graduate...those poor kids had nothing but losing seasons their entire time on campus lol.

The first time they played it was the BYU game in 1998 and it was incredible.

John David Philips. TYFYS but.....

Thanks, i couldn't remember the game but you're right it was the first pre-game video when the jumbotron was introduced.

This video and for some reason Julio Jones committing are two of the most memorable videos for me as a fan (outside of a game). I will never forget where I was and how excited I was when Julio put that hat on.
