2012 LSU-BAMA is a great game.

I hated the ending, but the game and environment was incredible.

The 2001 SECCG doesn’t get talked about much on here but it was quite the entertaining game. 9-3 LSU without their starting QB and RB upsets #2 Tennessee and knocks them out of the national title game.

Also Alabama-Mississippi State 2017 was awesome.

Ole Miss vs South Carolina 2018. Great game between unranked teams.

McFadden nearly brought us back to win that game by himself. 33 carries. Felt so bad for him that we couldn't pull it off.

You could probably pick any of the Arkansas-A&M games from the past 7 years for this thread. We always lose, but the game is entertaining and goes into OT more often than not no matter how good or bad either team is

Great work! I won’t have as much detail but a few wild UGA games from the last 20 years that have never been discussed much:
2000 Outback bowl huge come from behind win against Purdue
2005 Georgia/Auburn back and forth all night, ultimately a heartbreaking loss for the dawgs on a long 4th down pass
2009 Georgia/Arkansas Joe Cox plays lights out and Dawgs win a high scoring game in Fayetteville
2012 Capital One Bowl vs. Michigan State multiple OTs, some maddening missed field goals from Blair Walsh. Frustrating game for Dawgs, but pretty crazy game that I’m sure a neutral observer would have found entertaining
2012 Georgia/Tennessee very high scoring, lots of turnovers, and pretty wild. Dawgs win the shootout

A&M ended the game (2OT) by picking off tenn around the 5yd line in the 2nd half of the 2nd OT.

1991 Blockbuster Bowl featuring Colorado, the 1990 co-national champions, against the 1992 champs Alabama. This was a defensive/special teams shootout. Had lots of scoring but not much offense.

Very strange but exciting game. Lots of talent out there. Colorado had a Miami Hurricanes type roster but ran the I bone option attack. For this bowl game they changed their scheme to more of a pro style, so their qb, Darrian Hagan, could have a chance in NFL. Hagan also returned punts in this game. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that either. The scheme thing probably cost Colorado this game. They had future nfl players out their all over the field.

The 2002 game between Alabama and Oklahoma was also a good game too that never gets mentioned. Had lots of momentum swings. The pace of the game was kind of like the Kick 6 game.

1997 #25 Texas A&M 28, #19 Oklahoma State 25 (Overtime)

Trailing 22-7 midway through the 4th quarter at home after back to back losses at Kansas State and at Texas Tech, A&M scored two touchdowns and a 2-point conversion to tie the game at 22 to force overtime.

Holding Oklahoma State to a 39-yard field goal in their possession, A&M scored a touchdown on their possession to win and move into a tie atop the Big 12 South Division.

A&M would follow that game up with a 38-10 win over Baylor, a 51-7 destruction of Oklahoma at Norman and a 27-16 win over t.u. in a driving rainstorm to win the Big 12 South. The latter two games resulted in Oklahoma and t.u. firing their head coaches.

One that doesn't get mentioned much that was an incredible atmosphere and game in general was Saban's return to Baton Rouge in '08. My dad took me and one of his work friends that was a Bama grad and it was electric. LSU had just come off a national title the year prior and Saban was getting Bama rolling. Ill never forget my dads friend pulling out his phone grinning ear to ear to film the game winning kick at the end of regulation before we blocked it and the stadium erupted. Pick 6 Jarrett Lee went on to throw an INT in OT and Bama took the win.

Alabama win in the Iron Bowl. Greg McElroy led Alabama on a 15-play drive to score the go ahead touchdown with under 2 minutes remaining.

Outside of the kick six game, that is the loudest I've heard an iron bowl game in JHS. Right after AU scored and then got an inside kick, then scored another TD to go up. I was in the student section for that game and it was pretty damn deafening for a good five minute stretch of game time there.

But the drive Bama put together to win pretty much let the air out of the building and the entire team.

That was a really good game. Also as a note, that was one of those games that were played on Friday after Thanksgiving for a few years. I'm really glad they cut that shite out.

Agreed. That was the dumbest crap they did for that game.

What's funny is that it would kill sales on Black Friday while the game was on. I once got scheduled to work an Iron Bowl back in the 90s, and the place I worked was a freaking ghost town. On a Saturday.

Truly the loudest I have ever heard Tiger Stadium when LSU blocked the kick at the end of regulation.

I had to go somewhere when Miss State was leading, by the time I got back they had lost. I still feel kind of bad about that: maybe if I had stayed, State would've pulled the upset? Butterfly Effect and all

2004 Oklahoma at TAMU was great too. Yall nearly pulled off the upset a year after 77-0 and would've put Auburn in the BCS championship instead of OU (as it should have been)

Starting QB Reggie McNeal was knocked out in the 3rd quarter and 3rd string QB Ty Branyan nearly tied the game at the end.

A lot of the hype around the game was neutered by Franchione's choke job at Baylor the week prior (first loss to Baylor since 1984 at that time)
