In no particular order: When Judge hit 62, Corey Kluber no-no against the Rangers, LSU beat OSU for the national championship, Burrow’s last home game when he came out as Burreaux, Toefield’s 70+ run against Tennessee, Skip’s final game in the Super against Tulane. I’m sure there are more.

Antonio Langham housing Shane Matthews' interception in the first SEC Championship.

Also, saw BAMA clobber Miami in New Orleans to win the National Champioship the same season. Obviously, the biggest moment was George Teague running down Lamar Thomas from behind and stripping the football.

I was very blessed to be there on both occasions. I was only 12 years old, and those games will forever be etched in my mind.

“Tyrone Prothro’s catch.”

I was at that game. About two weeks after Katrina. We were sitting in that end zone.
USM had totally dominated the game in the first half. Led 21-3 late in the second quarter. Bama had a 4th and 35. And Prothro made that impossible catch at the inch line for a first down. Bama scored on the last play of the half to cut it to 21-10. Then obviously the whole momentum of the game changed.

Sigh. Maybe I should not attend Alabama games. The biggest one I've seen in person that turned out in our favor was probably the 2009 SECCG over Tebow and Florida.

Was in the lower centerfield bleachers. The city of Atlanta was insane that night.

What a night. We were so emotionally exhausted and hungry we walked downtown Pasadena, rather than waiting on transportation. Watched Bama vs Clemson at a bar. Fun night. Did you do the tailgate party?

Cam Newton’s Heisman run against LSU. He ran right to me in the end zone. Cam and Patrick Peterson down together in the endzone. Two greatest athletes I’ve seen in person not named Bo Jackson.


Saw that. Thought at the time that was a Heisman moment.

Miracle at Jordan Hare -- the crowd roar when Ricardo caught that tip was deafening.

Not a single moment, but...

1989 Iron Bowl -- Never got quiet. Paper shaker haze. Pretty remarkable day for an Auburn fan.

1999 Auburn vs bama basketball game -- I think the final score was like 94-50. Not domination, humliation. bama couldn't even get the ball inbounds at times. The win had no significance, but was memorable nonetheless.

I was at the NFC championship game in late January 2010 when the saints beat the Vikings in OT to go to the first Superbowl in Franchise history. It was INCREDIBLE.

I was also in attendance at the 2007 NC game when LSU beat OSU to win it all. I put the NFC championship game ahead of this one because LSU had already won a NC in 2003 but the Saints have never been to a superbowl and haven't returned since.

Norman, OK Thanksgiving Break one year. I saw 2 Heisman winners play in the same game when Baker Mayfield was "suspended" for like 3 plays for grabbing his nuts at Kansas the week before. Kyler Murray was his backup, and took all of 3 plays to run in a touchdown against West Virginia. The next series, Baker was back in the game, resulting in the loudest crowd I heard that entire game lol.

Miracle on Markham. When Matt Jones and the Ark offense got the ball on their own 20yd line with :45 sec left in the 4th. Winner goes to the SEC champ. Game in ATL.
