Went to many games before this, but Alabama vs Tennessee in 1973 at Legion Field is the first game that I remember, probably because Gary Rutledge threw an eighty yard touchdown pass to Wayne Wheeler on the first play from scrimmage. I think that Wilbur Jackson also had a touchdown run in that game, too.

Senior in high school in 1996. Planning to go to UAB or Jacksonville State to college and a buddy invited me to go to the MSU-Alabama game. The week before I had gone to the Troy-Jax State game (Tuck Froy!) and it was boring as hell. JSU was D-II at the time and Troy was I-AA and just beat the mess out of them in front of 100 fans.

MSU shocked the world and won 17-16. I ended up applying just to see what would happen, and they gave me a full ride. MSU beat out Jacksonville State in the end because of SEC athletics. No lie.

If that game wasn't an electric or I end up not going, I'm probably still an Auburn fan with a degree from Jacksonville State.

I would have still dominated Ole Miss, though.
