Jordan-Hare Stadium, 1986, thUGa at Auburn - after an upset victory against Auburn, the thUGa fans proceed, against the direct advice of the stadium announcer, to storm the field and pull up pieces of the J-H stadium turf as well as pillaging the hedges (for souvenirs, I guess). Security proceeds to start arresting said fans and the crowd in the stands shows their displeasure at these arrests by throwing cups and, yes, mini-bottles at the security guards. After the first bottle clocks a security guard in the head and blood starts running down his face, the hi-pressure field sprinklers are turned on and turned onto the thUGa crowd. Hijinx ensue!
There ain't nothin' that stinks like a wet dawg!
Jordan-Hare Stadium, 1997, bammer at Auburn - after an unlikely gift fumble due to an idiotic play call (thank you Mike Dumbose and your moron OC), Auburn kicks the FG to go ahead of the tide. After some last second craziness and effort by poor Ed Scissum that came to naught, the game ends and Auburn unbelievably is given the gift of an SEC West Division Championship and a trip to the SECCG by their bammer buddies. This ended up being too much for a way too drunk student section, so they storm the field and bring down the goal posts. After the goal posts are down and torn apart, the students proceed to walk it up the student section to the top row. Everyone is thinking
. At this point the stadium announcer comes on the PA and says "Your attention please... please do NOT throw the goal posts out of the stadium. I say again, please do NOT throw the goal posts out of the stadium. Thank you."
Weirdest PA announcement I've ever heard.

You forgot the best part of the 1986 story - the groundskeeper ultimately responsible for suggesting and turning on the high pressure hoses was a UGA grad. He was given the Muschamp/Smart treatment by the UGA contingent (or, disowned, if you will)

Not an accurate account of Auburn's stupidity that night at all. How the hell do you just decide to turn water cannons on the whole damn Georgia crowd still in their seats ? ESPN showed some couple in their 60's/70's getting knocked down.
If anybody was a "thug" that night,it was the retarded Auburn security people.

I have seen several odd things in and around SEC games.
The fire the night of the LSU/AU game in 1996 was a real memory. I remember the flames reaching over the upper deck but what I remember more was they just started rushing the stdents in without scanning IDs or anything because the student gates were right across the street from the old sports arena.
Remember when Tiger (back when AU carried the eagle to away games) scared UGA so bad he ran across the field to get away from her.
I don't remember the year, may have been 1994, Aubie and the Arky mascot got into a real fistfight on the sidelines behind the Arky bench at JHS.
Saw a UGA fan get chickenwinged and slammed face first into the wall of an entrance portal by a cop when he tried to sneak into the student section.
One of the funnier things I can remember is a group of folks who used to tailgate along Magnolia, just down from Toomers. For most every game (and always for the big rivalry games) they would have a remote control monster truck (good sized one too) with a stuffed version of the opponents mascot tied to the bumper and would drag the thing up and down the sidewalk for hours on end.
Probably the funnest thing I can remember was Iron Bowl 2005. Group in front of us were all Bama fans, about 6 or 8 of them, from a company in Birmingham that had season tickets at JHS just for the IB ticket. Lady (bleach blonde, red whale tail thong showing over her jeans) asks her husband to go get her a Coke with a lot of ice. After about 15 minutes he comes back with one of the large, rediculously overpriced stadium cups. Her first reaction to it was "Ewwww, I didn't want it in an Auburn cup. Couldn't you have found something with Bama on it?"
