re: Your favorite moment as a fan

Mine is kind of a weird one because it is a game we lost. In 96 and 97 I was deployed and our mail got xrayed so nobody could send us video tapes. So my Dad went to all the games and wrote down every play and would send me the notebooks. In 97 we played Florida in Jordan-Hare and one of the guys sitting near Dad asked him what he was doing. He was like, "We always see you writing everything down." and Dad explained it was for his son overseas in the army. So the guy asked if he could write the next play. He did and put a little note on it wishing me well. That notebook got passed around the whole section and each play was written by a different person with a note. I think some of the people were even Florida fans. When you're deployed you feel like the whole world has forgotten about you and I can't put into words what it felt like to receive that notebook.
