First: UGA 1973 in T Town, 28-14 win
Best: Goal line stand game against Penn State in the Sugar Bowl 1978
Worst: 1988 Ole Miss game at home, lost 22-12. It was homecoming, Bill Curry was coach, and we did not complete a forward pass. Curry got a brick allegedly thrown through his window later.

1968- was my first SEC game. Auburn vs Georgia in Auburn. First Auburn game was same year about 3 weeks before. Back then Boy Scouts were the real deal and our scout group from Phenix City got to usher that season in JHS. I also sold programs for a few years.
1971- first away game. Auburn vs Georgia in Athens. Pat Sullivan won the Heisman that day. Family in Social Circle and Monroe.
1973- first Iron Bowl (Birmingham). Dad was huge Bryant man.
1989- best game. First Iron Bowl in Auburn.
1990- worst game attended. Auburn vs Ole Miss in Jackson, Ms. Hottest (temperature) I have ever been in. Well in the low 100’s, Game was played in afternoon, EMT’s carrying people out on stretchers. Concessions out of ice and drinks at halftime.
I have been going to all of your stadiums when Auburn plays since the mid 80’s. Going to miss the hell out of Oxford, Starkville, Gainesville an especially Red Stick.
This new conference crap… nothing like a 11-12 hour drive to stay in a dump of a motel in Conroe, Tx ( A&M) or Booneville, Mo.

Frist game: 2012 against Georgia. I can't remember who the DE was, but he absolutely wrecked James Franklin (QB) and the starting LT and then they moved the RT over, and he destroyed him.
Jarvis Jones. He was all over the field.
First: UGA/WVU Sugar Bowl. Neutral fans would probably say this is the best one I've been to, as well.
Best: UGA/Alabama CFPCG (2022). No explanation necessary.
Worst: 2010 UGA/USCe. Georgia was awful, South Carolina was decent, it was a boring, terrible game (SC won 17-6), and it was 146 degrees outside in Columbia. It was like watching a game on the surface of the sun.

I hear ya, man. Worst hotel was America’s Best Value Inn in Senatobia, MS (2013 Ole Miss game). Would have stayed another night in Memphis if we had known what a shithole that place was.
