I miss seeing him dance on the field.

What is your favorite moment?
 
I'm only 22.. but when I was 7 years old I can remember watching George Teague take over the 1993 USF&G Sugar Bowl.

From that moment on I never waivered on who my favorite college football team was, not that I really had a choice, but that made me sure about it!

Man I get chills just thinking about it!!!:biggrin:

Chill bumps here too!
 
Too many to name, but one will always stand out.

The 1999 Iron Bowl. I was there, at JHS, for Bama's first ever win at that dump. I'll never forget the look on the barn fan's faces as the Million Dollar Band fired up Rammer Jammer. I got showered with soft drinks as I left the stadium, and a drunk barner lady spit on me as we were walking to our vehicle. Made the 4th qtr. domination all the more sweet.
 
Very cool video of 1993 win over Miami.

You may have seen it already.

I have several too but the one that stands out in my mind is the take-away (Teague from Thomas). I remember watching the game at home on the edge of my seat thinking at any moment that Miami was going to get a spark that would send them into a scoring frenzy. (if you are too young to remember, they could score in a minutes time and often did). When Torretta connected with Thomas I just collapsed thinking here it goes, the giant awakens. Then outta nowhere, comes Teague like superman or something. I couldn't believe my eyes. He actually looked like he was in some unhuman gear racing down the field not only catching Thomas but taking the ball from him as to say oh no you don't and reversing direction to run up the field. From that point on I didn't worry. I knew these guys were there to take care of business and everything was going to be alright. I'll never forget that moment as long as I live.

Mine too.

As a kid, watching Alabama football every Saturday (during the Gene Stallings era) was the best of the best. But my mother was a lukewarm Bama fan, but to this day, couldn't tell you A THING about Bear Bryant, other than he was an Alabama coach.

Anyway, I was 19 at the time, working a full time job. My best friend landed me the job, who was also a huge Alabama fan. At the time, we were undefeated and actually thought we would go all the way that year, after the Florida victory. So, at the time, he was dating a girl whose sister was a student at UA. We had a choice to go to any game that year, and she could hook us up. So we both chose the Tennessee game, and that was our first ever live Alabama game. The first time we had EVER seen a player dawn a Crimson jersey in person and the first time we had ever seen UA's campus.

I had the time of my life, and I tell this story endlessly: After the game, we stopped by the McDonald's on McFarland, and there was this older guy in there we started talking to. We told him this was our first game and he responded: "I've been coming to games all my life, and this was the best one I had ever been to. I'd love for my first game to have been this one. It'll be something you'll never forget".

My first Bama memory: 1979 Sugar Bowl, The Goal Line Stand (I was 10.) I have been a Bama fan ever since.

My best Bama memory: Being at the 1992 Sugar bowl with my future wife. I was in law school at the University, she was a senior there. What made it even more sweet was that my brother went to Miami and was talking REAL loud before the game. I didn't hear from him for a while afterwards.
 
It was 1990 and I was 12 years old. My extended family months in advance had planned the day to clean out the family cemetery plot in Tuscaloosa. It was an all day affair that required building a retaining wall and a lot of labor. We waited until the Fall when the weather was cool.

Alabama played Tennessee that day and we had to listen to the radio broadcast. It was a cool October day and Eli Gold's voice boomed through car stereos. The tension mounted as the time ticked away in a defensive struggle. Alabama put together one last drive to allow Philip Doyle to try a 48-yarder. The score was 6-6.

The work stopped and everyone gathered to hear the end of the game. It was torture listening to the radio as the kick went up. When Eli screamed, "It's GOOD!", jubilation broke out. And there we were, screaming our heads off in celebration in the middle of a graveyard. I'll never forget it.

Ya'll was wakin the dead!!!!
 
So many good memories...but one always seems to come back to my mind, Alabama Tennessee 1979...Bama had the best team in the country but bumbled its way thru a 17-0 deficit. Bama took the ball late in the 2nd half and drove the ball down to end the half down 17-7, the world was shocked. Back then most games were not televised and i laid on the floor in my living room listening for John Forney describe the action on the radio. Just before the start of the half we go down to old Jerry Duncan for a locker room report. Duncan describe something that amazed him, players expecting to get a fire and brimstone from Coach Bryant were on the edge of there seats, instead Coach walks in and smiles...."Boys, we got 'em right where we want 'em" The vols never got past midfield, Bama rolls 27-17.
