1978 Orange Bowl - Arkansas coach Lou Holtz suspends 2 starters before the game against the Barry Switzer juggernaut Sooners. OU goes into the game ranked #2 and the #1 Longhorns had already lost earlier in the day. A natty was there for the taking. What happens? The Hogs run OU out of Miami and their backup RB, Roland Sales sets an Orange Bowl rushing record.

That was the last game Joe Burrow lost at LSU


LSU was the better team that year. A&M won because our receivers kept making circus catches in OT

I heard Burrow collapsed in the locker room after that game.

Don’t see a lot of action live. Best I’ve got is 2019 LSU/Texas, 3rd and 17 and was something special

Kentucky beating Duke in St Louis for the 1978 NCAA championship.

Pre-Laettner but they were still insufferable pricks.

Kumar Rocker’s 19 strikeout no-hitter in the 2019 Super Regionals vs Duke. Most dominant pitching performance I’ve ever seen.

I guess it was one of those "you would had to have been there"
things , but watching Pete Maravich set a most points scored in a single
game record of 69 in Tuscaloosa in 1970 .... and still lose
the game 106 to 104. The guy was the definition of a scoring
machine but of course he had the green light to shoot and
shoot often. A six foot five string bean all over the court. The general consensus was that record would never be broken.
It took 21 years ......but it was.

Music City Miracle was the first to come to mind.

I was also at the AU-LSU game when the gym caught on fire and several other crazy AU-LSU moments And the uga jump bite happened right in front of me. I never would have guessed that fat, lazy bulldog could leap that high that quickly.

Camback. Was in the end zone that Ingram fumbled into.

Wild emotions. Highest of highs and lowest of lows. We were right next to Auburn’s band. Reverse rammer jammer leaving the stadium was hell.


It was the worst loss in history. The Kick Six doesn't even come close to the pain of the Camback, and only Alabama fans will understand that apparently

Not much on my end- like someone above me said, I don’t go to a whole lot of games. Can blame part of it on Tennessee football sucking when I went to school there, and my favorite pro teams haven’t really done shite, except for the Braves. Didn’t attend that WS in ‘21.

LSU vs Clemson for the natty

serious question (especially for those who aren't lsu fans)

what is more memorable, the natty or burrow's 7 TD first half against Oklahoma? i was at both. obviously i lean towards the national championship game but i could see a non affiliated fan thinking it was the semi final

I’d have to think experiencing your team win NC in any sport in person would be pretty fricking cool.

Same, and people may say “but auburn kept Alabama from a potential 3 peat!”

Well that may be true but Bama still would’ve had to beat Missouri and FSU to do it, you could claim they would have but we don’t know, especially against FSU.

But what comforts me about the Kick 6 is that Auburn didn’t win the title.

Camback, regardless of Bama’s record, felt like was the one and only chance to stop Auburn. Once Bama collapsed and lost that game, it set in with me that Auburn would win the title and they did. That’s why that one hurts more.

1. The Texas game, every home game, SEC championship, Peach Bowl, & NCG of the greatest college football team ever. The 2019 LSU Tigers.

2. 1996 CWS final game vs Miami and Warren brings home the Natty.

3.2023 CWS final series.

3. 2007 UF/LSU game

For me, Derrick Thomas’ three sack performance against penn state. He dominated the entire game.

I’ll add another one: Bill Elliott making up 5.32 miles without the benefit of a caution flag to win at Talladega in 1985.
