UT Sec championship game- incredible game and really got the ball rolling
2001 SEC CG. That was when the smoldering began that grew into the dumpster fire at UT.
Amazing how many posters on both sides recognize this truth. That was the day that UT and LSU swapped places in the hierarchy of the SEC. We were headed for our second MNC game in 4 years with a win. Instead, Phil lost more and more until we wound up with USC Kiffie and a mentally challenged male model named Doolander. We will cycle back - the only question is who are gonna swap places with?

The 1926 Rose Bowl game, in which the University of Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the heavily favored University of Washington Huskies, is often remembered in Alabama and throughout the South for restoring some measure of pride to the region.
Many southerners saw the Rose Bowl game as an opportunity to bring prestige and honor back to their region that had been ravaged by the Civil War. Even 60 years after the conflict, many older southerners remembered the war, and many more remembered Reconstruction. The South also was motivated by a national press that was critical of almost anything associated with the South, from the size of the southern brain cavity to the quality of its football. Thus, the Rose Bowl invitation to the University of Alabama (UA), the first team in the South to be so honored, set up what has been recognized by many historians and sports fans as the most important game in southern football history. Alabama was not simply representing its home state in a football game; it was carrying the banner for the entire South. One historian, in emphasizing the importance of the game's outcome, characterized it as an inspiration to southerners who had for so long been burdened by the combined effects of poverty and political and social isolation resulting from a demoralizing military defeat.
I'd think that this game was pivotal for all of our teams.

I guess nobody had ever noticed all the great black athletes playing for other schools (including some in the SEC) before Tha Bahr came down off His Holy Tower with the 11th Commandment: "Thou Shalt Recruit Black Players".

We came to Athens for the first time in SEC play made a statement by fricking them up between the hedges, basically saying that "We will not be toyed with, you peach-loving inbreds"

Arkansas getting screwed by the Texas refs in 1969 in the game of the century. I'm sure my Father was dog cussing the TV as Nixon congratulated Darrell Royal on the national championship.

Maybe Vanderbilt?

The one I remember best was the 1995 LSU/AU 'Bring back the Magic' game. The 89-94 debacle still makes me ill.
The 2001 SEC CG was big. Our first CC since 88, plus the frustration (of the national media hyping the imminent Canes/Vols showdown the week before) being replaced with joy. And it made it clear Saban was the real deal.
That's a couple anyways.

9-23-2000 LSU 10 - Alabama-Birmingham 13
This was the type of game that usually get LSU coaches fired, losing at home to a cupcake. But in this case that game would lead to LSU's current record of 43 regular season OOC victories in a row.
The very next game after the UAB debacle, LSU upset 11th ranked Tennessee. Later that same season LSU ended Alabama's 30 year win streak in Tiger Stadium.
The Tiger had turned.

I think the most pivotal game in LSU history might have been the 2001 SECCG. Not only did it really establish LSU and Saban as being considered elite, it also started off the Tennessee downward spiral from which they have yet to recover. Tennessee was a win away from Miami in the BCS title game.

Zook losing to a 3-8 Mississippi State was a blessing in disguise.

Son, you couldn't have displayed you stupidity more blatantly if you'd had "idiot" tattooed on your forehead. Come to think of it, you may want to consider the idea...folks won't have to wait to hear you speak to realize the fact.
PS-Many articles by football authorities have chronicled the events surrounding the game. Only an ignorant fool couldn't understand the importance of the game and how its outcome impacted history.

Loss to Navy in '84 is probably our biggest.
Win vs Bama in 2010 along with Florida same year.
Win vs NM State (yep) in 2000 to end our 0-21 streak. Tore down the goal posts and everything. We had gone 0-8 in tSEC in 1999 and ended up going a respectable 5-3 in conference play in 2000.
Win over Clemson in '09 was pretty big too. Along with 2012 arse whooping of Georgia. A lot of our "big" wins have come very recently.
The Ole Miss game in '09 was pretty big. That was the birth of Sandstorm and the start of what's going on now.

2011 loss to texas - would have come into the SEC with Mike Sherman as coach and Manziel on the bench if we hadn't lost that game
Too early to say for certain, but this might go down as the most program-changing game in the history of Aggie athletics.

Not everyone gulps the crimson Kool-Aid, bammer boy.
"Many articles by football authorities" have chronicled a lot of stuff that ain't necessarily so.
Just because you think the college football world revolves around Tuscaloosa doesn't make it real.
