I need to watch the 92 sec champ game cause I didnt see it. I only remember the Sugar from that year.

 

[alagator]

Just how old are you all? Seems Alabama football began in 1992.

Which sounds like most of my fellow Florida alumni.

Considering that was 18 years ago, for a lot of fans that is about the time Alabama football started for a lot of people. Nothing at all wrong with that. Being 23 myself...that's about the time I was old enough for a football game to hold my attention.

u mean the 2005 Bama vs. Florida game right? we didnt play them in '03.

I know we won all the marbles on #5 but it wasnt the best game I ever watched. 08 seccg was way more exciting to me........

By the way Im 33, I vagely remember the Bear and the 93 Sugar Bowl was the first Bama game I watched all the way through. I saw games before then but none stick out that I remember.

Top 5 games? Wow! How do you decide with so many great games to choose from?


Heck I can't decide which were my favorite 5 games versus Penn State, much less of all time. But, here's a whack at my top 5 (well, 6) vs. the Nittany Lions:

1975: Alabama beats Penn St. in the Sugar Bowl 13-6. I list this one because I was there and had a great time. After the game, one of the Alabama players lifted me onto a wooden stage where Jim Lampley was interviewing Bear Bryant. I stood behind them waving like a jack ass on national TV. :td: I was also amazed that concession at the Super Dome sold me beer at 14 years old.

1979: Alabama's Goal Line Stand - Krauss knocked out on play

1982: Alabama 42 - Penn State 21
Penn State won the National Championship this year with it's only loss coming by way of a blowout to Alabama. Bear Bryant's last season as coach. I was at this game in Birmingham and I have never, ever heard the stadium as loud as it got that day. Paterno was wearing blue pants with little white whales printed all over them. ??? Very interesting


1983: Penn State 34 - Alabama 28
The greatest Bama comeback ever. Too bad they didn't get credit for it. The replay (and I can't find it anywhere!) clearly showed that Gothard caught that ball in bounds. Bama was down 34-7 in the fourth and came back for what should have been a great win. The game ended with Bama on the Penn State 2 yard line.

---on a questionable out-of-bounds call on a pass from Lewis to Tight End Preston Gothard in the Penn State end zone with eight seconds left—the apparent winning touchdown.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1121388/1/index.htm

and a week later in Sports Illustrated:

...The spot in the Penn State end zone where Alabama's Preston Gothard caught a pass from Walter Lewis in the waning seconds on Oct. 8, 1983 that officials disallowed in the belief that Gothard was out of bounds, preserving a 34-28 Penn State victory over unbeaten 'Bama. TV replays seemed to show that Gothard had possession in bounds and that the touchdown should have counted...

1989: Alabama's Thomas Rayham blocks FG for win
The look of disbelief in the eyes of the Penn State players is priceless:

Yall are to young lol

 

[ExiledTidefan]

I think we do have a lot of young fans on here. Also, let's be honest, from about 2000 till about 2005, there wasn't much to be proud of on the field, and then again in 2006 and 2007. Of course, all of this occurred as we suffered those NCAA sanctions and their after-effects.

That's all over now, isn't it?!? Ask the aubs...

Favorite game of all time: 1985 vs. Auburn, followed closely by Bama-UT 2002, breaking that streak. The LSU game in 98 was special too. Of course, who can forget the swamp in 99, and then that wonderful SEC title game in 99. That whole season felt like a dream though, when it was all said and done, as we got the hammer from 2000 on.

No one has listed their low point game. Let me be the first to say that getting shelled by Peyton Manning in 1995 sucked hard. Losing to Auburn in 1989 was the worst. But, man oh man, losing to UCF in 2000 was the straw that broke the camel's back. Worse than losing to ULM in 2007. The difference for me was knowing that we likely were headed for much more of it after that 2000 loss, knowing the smell that was coming from Memphis. The 07 game felt more like we were sweeping out the rest of the garbage from that earlier period.

I'd say we've turned it around since then. Lost to State and Auburn, beat Colorado, then 12-0, lost to UF and Utah, and haven't lost since!!!

 

[psychojoe]

My absolute low point was the 1972 Iron Bowl. I can still hear the boogs and "punt Bama punt".

 

[rick4bama]

1969 Ole Miss game the first every night game broadcast on TV.
1971 USC first game that we use the wishbone in.
1985 UGA come from behind to win in the last seconds of the game.
1985 Auburn same come from behind to win the game.
2007 Auburn what can I say about this one."I'm proud of my boys the way their played" This is what I heard from an Auburn grad. Sunday morning at church. I really waiting to tell her that I was too. I think it help us with the Fla game.
