Serious Answer: the Upchurch TD in the '09 Iron Bowl. A loss in that game would have killed their momentum going into the SECCG. Imagine the pressure to win in '10 after three seasons, $12+ million in salary, and not even an SEC title to show for it.

Unserious Answer:in December of '06, when Mal Moore answered the phone right after the RichRod deal hit the airwaves, only to hear Jimmy Sexton screaming "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR frickING MIND YOU STUPID a-hole?!?!!?!?"

The unvaried story of the legendary phone call. Many believe it to be absolute truth. Others believe no part of it. Depends on who and what you want to believe on it. I've heard it from enough people with connections to Mal that I believe the call did, in fact, take place. Mal said they needed a coach now as there was concern over losing the recruiting class and Sexton told him if you wait a month you'll not have to worry about recruiting again.
