Alabama football moments that made us cry tears of joy

Enough with the heartache. These cued the happy waterworks.

Not a bad list, But I have a couple of my own that weren't listed.

1979:

1985:

As an Alabama fan, if those 2 don't give you chills, you are in the afterlife my friend.

I'm sure there are more, feel free to add to the list.

How about when the plane landed in Tuscaloosa on January 3, 2007?

Glad the article included the 2012 game in Red Stick. I don't think that game gets as much...fan gushing as do other major mondo plays.

 

[BamaDave89]

Those 2 were also some of my all time favorites

Yeldon's TD run in Baton Rouge was mine. I was in a hotel in Florence because I just buried my PawPaw. I swear he gave the Lord what for for the last 10 minutes of the game. I cried like a baby.

I do believe that was the first time 'Bama had a come from behind victory in 21st century.

That was a big monkey off our back with the right coach.

I'll bet everything I have it was the first time, ever, Bama gave up 21 point leads—leads, as in two—and won the ball game. And that wasn't the only weird thing about that game.

Both teams with identical total yards? Has that ever happened before? On top of that, both with three turnovers. A three point differential in a game where there was only a difference of two in first downs.

Can’t remember the year but we were playing Tennessee and their player was going in for a T.D. To win the game and I believe it was one of the Castille boys that hit that player causing a fumble out of bounds or the end zone to help BAMA pull it out.

Roman Harper. I believe it was 2005.Won the game on a Christensen (sp) field goal.

1986 Notre Dame.

 

[Bama Guy]

Cornelius Bennett was Jadeveon Clowney before Jadeveon - ESPN Video

GameDay 100: Cornelius Bennett with a huge sack reminiscent of the hit by Jadeveon Clowney.

Yep.... "The Sack"... I was there, (Didn't park over on Graymont either).
Side note: That should have been our ball, it was a fumble. By todays rules it would have been reviewed, called a fumble, ball given back to ND due to Bennett being called for targeting and being ejected from the game....would taken them about 3 hours to come to the conclusion.

To many to even think about
..#1..bear bryant being named bama new HC in 57-58.... ?

 

[Secondand26]

So true!
If it wasn't for Bryant, Bama would not have been as attractive to Saban.

Bittersweet day for me. My middle son was playing fullback on his team (they ran the Wing-T), he had a game that day so I watched Rocky Stop on TV instead of live, then went to his game. We were driving to win, and my boy broke off a great run, but had the ball punched out on the two and - you guessed it - fumbled it through the end zone.

I was 1-1 with the football gods that day.

RTR,

We were sitting between the 5 and 10 yard line during that 2005 UT game. The year our offense sucked so bad after Prothro when down. Awesome play. But what happened next was just a surprising. Didn’t we throw basically a Hail Mary to DJ Hall to get us in FG range? Felt like we doubled our offensive production for the game on one play. One of the more frustrating wins I’ve been too. Ole Miss that year also a frustrating win.
