- 1996 was Bebes last regular season game and we won on a last minute drive to win the SEC West (and was a good Auburn team)
- 1999 was the first win in Auburn and clinched a trip to the SEC Title game
- 2001 was the most out of the blue win and beatdown of an Iron Bowl in my recent lifetime (and was a good Auburn team at the time before we helped start the collapse)
- 2005 Tennessee was the Fulmer stuff and a game winning field goal and the fumble in the end zone all wrapped into 1
- 2008 Auburn was a 36 point beat down that broke the streak and finished an undefeated regular season
- 2008 Tennessee we had 35K fans take over Neyland and put the stake in Fulmer's heart (2009 was a mistake, that game was not satisfying at all I was glad it ended and we won)
So, yea, all those games individually meant a whole helluva lot and were incredibly satisfying.
I mean technically I guess 2007, 2015 and 2016 Tennessee teams were better than 2005 or 2008 but only 2007 would come close in terms of satisfaction.
