Honestly can’t remember a lot of games during my time at school. A lot of drinking before and during, but Jonathon Banks’ pick six against Tebow right before half. Place went nuts.

Seen a lot of good games over the years but one that doesn’t get a lot of talk was Bama’s comeback win over Eric Zier and UGA. Stadium was rocking and afterwards was a blast

Easily Marcus Lattimore’s career ending injury against Tennessee. The most memorable and the saddest.

Perhaps the most beloved Gamecock in recent memory; a young man of stellar character finally coming back strong after his first bad injury. Probably the HBC’s favorite player here.

I saw the play and saw his leg swing awkwardly through the air. Turned to my wife and said: “Marcus is down. It looks bad.” It took a few more seconds for the play to finish and the people on the field to react. Marcus knew it. Jeff Guy, the team doctor (a damn fine Orthopaedic surgeon and a helluva nice guy) ran out with the trainers.

You could hear a pin drop. Both teams - Gamecocks and Vols - went on the field and took a knee together. People held hands or put their hands over their mouths in shock. Many prayed. Although obviously really bad, it wasn’t the worst injury I’ve seen - that was a UVA player who broke his neck — it was the most emotional because of who it was and how hard he had worked to come back.

Marcus was taken off on the cart with a towel on his head and Dr. Guy comforting him. The crowd applauded and there were a few desultory cries of support but no cheers. Everyone there knew what it meant- that there was no hope this fine young man blessed with incredible talent and purpose would suit up for us again. That we would never again see the special power and grace with which he ran the football. That his dream of the NFL was gone.

I’ve seen wonderful moments too - the goal posts coming down in rapturous joy when we ended the 21 game losing streak (something those poor suffering Alabama fans will never experience). But that awful day Marcus went down — yeah, that’s the one I’ll always remember.

Dexter McCluster fumbling going into the end zone to end the game against Vanderbilt. It was my first conference games as a student I think.

2007 beating #1 LSU in Commonwealth was pretty special. Tigers still went on to win the Natty. Atmosphere was amazing that day.

1. #3 Oklahoma coming from behind 0-14 to score 31 unanswered in defeating #1 Nebraska in 2000.

2. #5 Oklahoma throttling undefeated #2 Texas Tech 65-21 in 2008.

3. #2 Oklahoma jumping out to a 23-3 lead then to relinquish it, fall behind 23-27, then some late fourth quarter luck to narrowly escape eventual season ending AP #11 Alabama, 37-27.

I'm the type that hates losing more than I enjoy winning. We've had big wins over top 10 OU, NU, Lsu, UT, tu, etc. But I remember the misery more. The gut wrenching losses to TTU & NU in 06 after blowing leads. The refs doing all that they could to give tu the win in '11. Johnny being horse collared b y Auburn. Seeing our hapless defense try to slow down Henry as he went for something stupid like 190 yards in the first half.

I have a weird one...but Vandy hasn't had many memorable moments. Certainly not good ones. For me, it was Carey Spear (a kicker) obliterating Tennessee's Cordarelle Patterson. It took place during the 41-18 win in 2012 and was just such a big stamp on that game. After being beaten down by UT for so damned long and losing a hearbreaker the year before in Neyland, that hit was just the exclamation mark that said even our kicker was going to frick up UT's night.

We're better at being on the other side than actually pulling off a miracle.

But if I had to pick, Soulja Boy vs. Auburn was pretty dam cool

Vanderbilt and Dudley Field don't have a ton of moments,but in 1982 when Whit Taylor went around right end on a beautiful boot leg to beat Tennessee, it was pretty darn loud. One of the few times Vandy had without a doubt a clear home field advantage vs the Vols.

#10 Florida vs. #1 Florida State; Nov 1997

FSU was No. 1 and undefeated coming into Gainesville.
The big Fred Taylor run; the deep pass from Doug Johnson to Jacquez. The crowd noise was loud throughout the game. It screwed up FSUs season. It was one of the best games I saw there. Gators won 32/29
