🏈 What ONE Game Would You Change The Outcome Of?

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Mine are all very recent...

My top 5...

1. 2023 v. Michigan- Main reason here would be for Saban to walk off with one final national championship... it would have been the perfect ending.
2. 2010 v. auburn- This game still sticks on my craw. The ides of Mark. The Ingram fumble with the magic bounce down the sideline. Barron's torn pec that limited him in the 2nd half (especially on a key pass play). If Bama wins, not only is it a victory over auburn, but it knocks them out of the BCS title game in favor of TCU. Would have been two wins in one.
3. 2021 v. Georgia- Beating them a 2nd time in about a month, ripping their heart out and eating it, would have been absolutely glorious. Not sure Kirby would have gotten back up off the mat.
4. 2022 @ Tennessee- A win would have meant Saban retried with a clean record against them which would have been incredible (both from a consistency standpoint and a humor standpoint). Also, if all else stays the same, Bama goes to Atlanta instead of LSU. And we know what Saban-led Bama teams did in Atlanta.
5. 2016 v. Clemson- A win that night in Tampa gives Bama/Saban another perfect season, which would have been nice. It was also the last game I got to watch with my Dad before he passed away... wish it had ended with a win and confetti.

The game against Michigan. We played so bad and those cheaters still had to win in ot. I hate Michigan.

 

[rick4bama]

If I would pick one! 1972!

 

[footballer]

A long time ago, but my life was changed forever and I still get nauseous any time I hear " Punt Bama Punt."

 

[Bammerboy321]

Recency bias, but the recent Michigan game so Saban goes out with a title. But my all-time answer would be 1973 over Notre Dame. My dad still to this day hates ND way more than auburn because of that game.

Basketball: 1976 against Indiana. Not sure if I'd even change the outcome of the game, but that team at the very least deserved a Final Four birth. They got seeded so poorly.

2016 Nattional title game - I still believe that team was Saban's best certainly on Defense.

1973 Sugar Bowl against ND - I hate the Domers

Screw the Barn and Viles....

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Ok. We going back and back....and back

62 vs ga tech. Which for really old timers ...was bamas most hated rivery...

Coming off 61 NC....#1 in polls...at Grant Field in Atlanta...


Namath throws int....LeeRoy chases down intercpter and takes ball away...giving Bama another chance....bama scores but... 2 point conversion fails....
7-6 ga tech

Could add vs texas in orange bowl...Namath still claims he scored...on 4th n 1 at texas 1

Are you implying the officials were doing what they could to help Auburn that game? I can't remember how the officials called that game.

Our kicker was the main help...Foster..

But on AUs score to tie game. They made big play but had linemen all over place down field... probably the reference

 

[TerryP]

Namath throws int.

Speaking of ... saw the NFL Network has a special on him at 1 ET today (part one of a series.)

 

[rueben]

The Kick Six, just to erase the smugness of the Aburnites.

1973 Sugar Bowl.

I remember my cousin's husband threw a transistor radio threw his new color tv after that game.

This is what's so cool about being a Bama fan - we can only list a few! Most teams would have 40-100 games listed.

I will repeat the sentiment most on here say... I've hated Notre Dame ever since. 'Course I didn't like them before that. '73 was a firm confirmation.

Bet i could list 40-100

I'm going to put out another possibility: the 2018 natty against Clemson (played in 2019). If Tua doesn't stink it up, if our special teams doesn't suck, and if our DBs weren't drunk that night, we'd be calling that 2018 team the best Bama team ever. Plus we'd remove that embarrassing loss from the books.

 

[Davestwin]

1973 Sugar Bowl.

You named the same game as I was going to name. I didn’t get over that game for a very long time. Now, I loved Coach Bryant with a passion but for a long stretch from 67 to 74 he couldn’t win a bowl game to save his life. Of course, he then went on a tear that cemented the GOAT status that lasted until Saban. The two bowl losses to ND truly sucked and I can’t to this day watch replays or even read articles about those games!

Two receivers in same area, one in front tips ball away from intended receiver in back of him, who was open.

 

[BamaFan334]

Didn't know where to pit this, but has me cracking me up.

 

[24and7]

Better blocking package and last snap during the Michigan game..
