re: 13 years ago today: Game of the Century

There have been plenty of hyped up "Games of the Century" but that truly was one.

---

I'm pretty sure any regular season game between the #1 and #2 ranked teams is called a "Game of the Century".

Difficult to call it the game of the century when we were 10 years into the 21st century

I mean, the phrase isn’t meant to be taken literally. According to all-knowing Wikipedia, here are the other GOTC’s…

1935: Notre Dame 18, @Ohio St 13
1935: SMU 20, @TCU 14
1945: (1)Army 32, (2)Navy 13
1946: (1)Army 0 @(2)Notre Dame 0
1963 Rose Bowl: (1)USC 42, (2)Wisconsin 37
1966: (1)Notre Dame 10, @(2)Michigan St 10
1967: @(4)USC 21, (1)UCLA 20
1969: (1)Texas 15, @(2)Arkansas 14
1971: (1)Nebraska 35, @(2)Oklahoma 31
1987 Fiesta: (2)Penn St 14, (1)Miami 10
1991: (2)Miami 17, @(1)Florida St 16
1993: @(2)Notre Dame 31, (1)Florida St 24
2006 Rose: (2)Texas 41, (1)USC 38
2006: @(1)Ohio St 42, (2)Michigan 39
2009 SECCG: (2)Alabama 32, (1)Florida 13
2011: (1)LSU 9, @(2)Alabama 6
2019: (2)LSU 46, @(3)Alabama 41

-the 2019 LSU-Bama game was 1 v 2 in the AP poll and coaches
-of the 17 games, I’m only familiar with 9 of them actually being called GOTC

Wood take 100 Jordan Jeffersons over 1 Milradio.

Dude if you think that Milroe is bad, then you would be in a nut house if Jefferson was our QB.

We were blessed with a defensive slugfest that gave us 9-6. I honestly miss this type of game

---

No you don’t

That was the most boring game of all time

We just miss it now because we haven’t fielded a defense like that in forever.

Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson both sucked. Jordan Jefferson was a poor man’s Milroe.

No you don’t That was the most boring game of all time

Yes, I do. There’s an in-between with this and 46-41, maybe similar to the 2012 and 2014 games. That said, I do miss a 9-6 slugfest. It was like 06 Auburn and that 7-3 headbanger.

Points are at a premium, so each score seemingly means more. Each turnover means more. Shootouts were fun when they were rare, but that’s the norm these days.

Who announced that game? Can't remember


That game would gave been one of those games that I'd have loved to have heard Keith Jackson and Larry Munson announce.

Your troll game used to be better, bro.

This game had it all!

I know Ha-Ha showed up in a Key and Peele skit, and pretty sure Barkevious was mentioned in their opening stand-up routine.

Gary and Verne. "OH NO!! ERIC REID!!" (Removes Saban's dick from mouth ...)

Someone called Whit Weeks “Barkevious Gringo”
