Great question. Probably sitting on the 50 yard line among the Tennessee boosters in Neyland during 2016's 49-10. They were #8 but experiencing some injuries and despite Kamara it was a merciless massacre.
Second place Vandy 59-0 one of the most lopsided games I've ever seen.

Its hard to top Yeldon's TD in 2012 while sitting in a sea of LSU fans.

Watching the 92-93 National Championship game with my grandfather. We watched every game together from 86-87 on. He passed away in March after the title that Bama won in January. Nothing will ever mean more. The last game that I was able to watch with him, was a National Title win. Nothing can replace that

Can't decide between these two:
2008 LSU (was one of the ~100 visiting fans that they used to stick up in dark corner of the upper deck opposite of the upper deck that was 50% Bama fans.) Win clinched our first trip to the SECCG since 1999 (I was also at that one). I turned 21 the previous weekend. Sat next to an LSU fan. He said he got arrested on the Strip in Tuscaloosa the previous year.
2009 Auburn (was in the Auburn student section). Kept our NCG hopes alive going into the SECCG. Went to all 14 games that season.

2008 Georgia. The black out game. I love seeing Alabama make those fans miserable. They were so confident that they would kick our butts that day. Sanford Stadium was just about empty in the waning minutes.

I was going to post this as well. UGA fans are the worst I have ever experienced at their field when they do not win. They had all the hype coming into the game.

Only been to 1 away game. Bama-LSU 2002. It was Bama's only win vs LSU when CNS was there. 31-0. It was the week after the Bluegrass Miracle. Busted LSUs bubble after they were on that high. Shaud Williams went off. Tyler Watts was on point. Defense was nasty.

i was the lone bama clad fan in a sea of orange, or so it seemed, overlooking the endzone in the upper deck at neyland stadium. it was shula's last season, if memory serves me. bama drove down and scored a early td. i jumped up yelling and screaming roll tide! then, stopping mid yell, i looked around at many orange clad fans looking at me. i looked down at the only guy i knew in this vicinity and asked, y'all aint gonna throw me off this deck are ya? he lol'd, as did his daughter and several others then said, we wouldn't have it any other way, you yell as loud as you can. turns out this whole group had been sitting together for over 20 years and were kool college football fans.

Yeldon 2012 probably at the top because that game was such a roller coaster. He fumbled the ball away a minute prior deep in our own territory which I thought would seal the loss. I was sitting in the first row of the upper deck at the 10 yard line on the end where he eventually scored. It was incredible.
2014 when Reuben hit Fournette on the kickoff is probably second. Everyone in the stadium knew the game was over after that play. Our whole sideline came to life and they were just deflated. Their prodigal son was knocked into next week and we proceeded to win in overtime.
I watched the 2011 iron bowl from the auburn student section and we beat them senseless That’s always a good time

1A. 2008 Blackout vs. UGA
1B. 2012 McCarron to Yeldon vs. LSU
2. 2015 Washout vs. UGA
3. 2009 vs. Auburn
There are also a myriad of those neutral site games that were awesome.

I remember in 2012, LSU fans were chanting 'overrated' in the in the 3rd or 4th quarter. That stadium was so quiet after the game.

1996 @LSU - Morning paper in BR had a headline saying "Biggest Game In Tiger Stadium History?" Shaun Alexander's coming out party.
2001 @Auburn - Really thought we had no chance of winning the game. Zow and the defense were great.
Whatever year it was that Julio Jones caught balls all over the Tennessee defense at Neyland. 2009?

Bama @ Moo State, 1992. Coldest damn game I've ever attended in person. It was in the 40's with about a 10mph wind at kickoff. We were the late game on ESPN. Bama jumped out 20-3 at halftime and looked to be on cruise control. Then in the 3rd, the wheels came off and State scored 18 unanswered and led 21-20 midway thru the 4th. It had gotten colder and those cowbells were clanging and I was miserable. I could see an undefeated season and a chance for a natty slipping through Bama's fingers. Then Bama dug deep and found a way and scored the next 10 points and won 30-21. It felt a lot more tolerable when those damn cowbells stopped clanging as the time ran out on their upset. Jackie Sherrill was pissed that Bebes had outdone him.

Very cold night. The SEC Championship Game a few weeks later was even colder. 92 must have been a cold winter because I remember the Iron Bowl being pretty cold as well. And of course, the big blizzard was a few months later.
