'09 was on a mission and got redemption too - in Atlanta Georgia. The SECCG just barely nudges '09 over the top. The loss in the '08 SECCG hurt baaaaaaaad; we had the ball and the lead at the start of the 4th quarter. I've never been so elated after a Bama win as I was after the destruction of that entire Florida program in '09.2011 because it righted the wrong of November 5th.
I was the last person on earth to think that we had a shot at getting to the NCG after that game - especially given all of the other teams who had a shot at it.
For all of those teams to then not get it done, thus affording our boys the opportunity to execute as they did on Jan 9th has provided me w a natural high which I am still riding.
That being said, both teams were on a mission.
And how exhilarating that both accomplished their missions...
