I watched my first game in 1989. I think I was 14 yrs old. I think Bama was trailing either Tennessee or Ole Miss like 27-0 and we came back and won 47-30 I think. I was hooked.

First game I ever attended was also the first I can remember, A&M @ Mizzou 1992. Ags won 26-13.
The game that cemented my fandom was the 1998 Big 12 Championship game, I was 14 yrs old. Watched it on the couch with my dad, what a great memory.

My first Gator game was actually one of the greatest games in Gator history. I was I believe 10 or 11.
Father won tickets at a raffle at work to the UF-FSU game in 97 after we had moved to Ocala from Gainesville Georgia. I watched some football, but mostly pro football. I was a huge basketball fan though being born in Louisville Kentucky.
So we went to the game. By the end I was in love. The crowd was insane, the cheers, the atmosphere was the best sporting thing I had ever seen. I begged and begged the next year to go to games after that experience and so we ended up going to two more the next season and I was hooked.

quote:This is the most overrated thing. There were 3 seconds left when that pass was caught. The clock operator let it run to 1 second, but it wasn't really that close. A field goal wins the game on the next play if he doesn't catch it.
The balls on Les Miles to throw that pass vs. Auburn
It wasn't a chip shot field goal, so there was nothing crazy about going for the touchdown.
I've never understood the fascination with that play with regards to it being some crazy call.

Started in 1969 for me; I was 7 years old and playing my first year of organized football. My Dad and I watched the primetime Alabama-Ole Miss game on ABC. I remember watching Archie Manning passing and running all over the field that game; it was a back and forth game with Bama coming back and winning late on a fourth and goal pass, 33-32. Later that year over at my coach's house at our football team's end of the season party, we watched the 'Game of the Century' with Texas coming back late to beat Arkansas 15-14 and Nixon proclaiming Texas national champions. I was pretty much hooked on college football from that season on...
A couple of years later, my brother gave me the best Christmas present I ever received, the Sports Illustrated College Football game:
It had 32 great teams of the 60's and I played that game regularly for the next 20 years or so, and helped fuel both my love for college football as well as to become more interested in its history. Still have that game to this day...

My first game ever was the 9/11 Texas A&M football game. Don’t remember much from the actual game, a 21-7 win over Oklahoma St, as I was a toddler. But I remember the atmosphere pregame, and the amazing display of patriotism especially with A&M being a military school. Amazing to see the stadium decks painted red white and blue by the fans. Has to be the second best home game in all of A&M history, behind the bonfire game.
