| FTBL How many Iron Bowls have you seen in person?

[bamatommy]

I’ve only been to one but it’s one of the best of all time, if not THE best.

I was at the 1985 Iron Bowl almost exactly parallel with the uprights. Van Tiffin kicked the game-winning 52-yard field goal on the last play of the game. I couldn’t see whether the kick was good or not because of where I was sitting, but I was listening to Paul Kennedy on my Walkman and he said “It has the distannnnnnnnce. It’s good! It’s good!”

I've been to two. One was a blowout at Bryant-Denny by Alabama, and the other was the worst Iron Bowl ever, The Kick Six.

 

[JoshB]

Just two for me. Last one was the 18 Iron Bowl.

0 yes 0 !

1, and it was 2019. God that penalty that sealed it was hard in person.

Been to 3 that are not the real Iron Bowl but they were in T-Town. Two were great 36-0 (2008) and 49-0 (2012) and we shall not mention the other one....

Seeing the Barn anytime under any circumstance disgust me to no end unless it is a complete beatdown of the Barn by Bama.

I have come to realize I can't actually watch those Practicers of Literal Animal Husbandry play or they will do well, so I will be playing COD or something tomorrow while it runs on a TV in the background.

 

[UAgrad93]

10 I think!!

 

[Bamabww]

1984 thru 2003. My favorite memory is probably from the 1985 game. It fell on Bo Jackson's birthday that year and before the game the awbarn student section sang happy birthday to him. After the game, the Alabama student section sang happy birthday to him.

84-86, 89, 93 (bought aubrun season tickets and sold them all except the Bama ticket so I could watch that thing), and the last eleven or twelve home games.

16 or 17. I agree with @bamatommy the '85 game might be the best game I've ever attended. The '08 game was very satisfying, and the '12 was like a cat playing with an injured mouse, left that game early and headed to the strip. For us, the 2000 game was the most futile game I watched, as soon as they kicked their first FG I knew the game was over. Our D played well that day, but we were never going to score in that freezing rain game.

I can’t count the number but it includes the Cam-back and the Kick-six.

 

[BamaFan615]

I’ve been to one - many years ago in 91’.

I have Antonio Langham taking a pick six to the house etched in my brain for life!

I was 7. My grandfather, who lived in B’ham took me to the game.

Same year I became a Bama fan.

Yes, that’s the one I saw in person at Legion Field.

I’ve been blessed to see a bunch of them … at Legion Field and at BD. I’ve only been to three at JH but they’ve all been losses so I’m not going there again … at least for a while. There’s absolutely nothing worse than to leave that stadium hearing obnoxious cow patty u fans run their mouths.

Agree. I have no plans to go back. I won't even buy gas in Lee County.

Lost count, but the first one was a NC clinching game. 1958*

Edit: Well, that proves how old I am. Brain fart. It was 1957*
