The 15 game was the best one to watch, but I have to go with the destruction of Notre Dame in 12.

2012 was satisfying af. ND fans talked mad shite in Miami that entire weekend leading up to the game.

2009

To me, it put all of the bullshite of the previous 15 or so years behind us. It was finally over.

Kicking Notre Dame's arse in the biggest game of the year sure felt sweet considering how much trouble those clowns have given us over the years. So I'm going to go with that one.

Notre Dame beat down. Tell ya the truth, probably my favorite "game" in the era was Saban's first SEC title, vs Florida, in his third year. Because that was the hump Bama needed to conquer to really believe that Bama was back among the elite. Beating Tebow, the whipping we gave, so timely and satisfying. But I still do have total admiration and respect for Tebow, a great human being and college QB.

1. Georgia-1st half sucked but the second half had the most electric tension ive ever felt watching a game. And it ended with the single most consequential play in any college football season ever.

2. Clemson-Great back and forth game. Never felt like we were comfortably ahead and never felt like the game was lost. Tons of points and 2 or 3 of the greatest plays in Alabama history

3. LSU-Dominant victory over a team I dislike more than Notre Dame

4. Notre Dame-Im too young to have a reason to hate Notre Dame. Incredible night nonetheless

5. Texas-After Colt went down the game felt weird. Bama only played particularly well in in the 2nd quarter and Texas made it really uncomfortable in the 4th. The end just felt more like a relief than a celebration

Crazy to think how close Bama was to only having 2-3.

2009: Tennessee getting the kick blocked
2011: Iowa State upsetting Oklahoma State
2012: One LSU First down from milking the clock

Sure but that goes both ways

2013: The Kick Six clusterfrick keeps Bama from a 50/50 matchup against FSU


2016: Having the lead in the National Championship with 6 seconds left despite losing future All-pro safety Eddie Jackson. Also NC State missed a 33 yard field goal that would have knocked clemson out of the playoffs entirely

2018: Clemson converts a 4th and 6 against Syracuse in a game that decided the division. Clemson gets left out and Bama probably wins the championship

Fun fact, Notre Dame’s last natty appearance went as well as A1abana’s last natty appearance.

How did you feel about the Bama NCG that LSU did participate in?

Bo Scarborough getting knocked out of that game hurt y'all more than not having Jackson, IMO. Scarborough was trampling Clemson and they had no answer for him. Y'all win that game easily if he stays healthy.
