JuscAUse! 1,404 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) That was the first AU victory over uat I could ever remember being upset about. AU was so much better, but still had that uat "aura" bothering them, I guess. Should have beat them by 24 or so. Loved that defense. Edit....should have written 'slightly upset'. 😄 Edited June 24, 2022 by JuscAUse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerman1186 537 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 We were there...I remember they forced everyone to level because of the weather (tornado threat in the area) in the second half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bro Johnny Mac 1,394 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I was at the game. The tornado sirens were going off and no one in my section ever moved. I had a seat right next to the steps and water was cascading down like a waterfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,601 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 9 top 20 teams Auburn defeated that season. 1983 National Champions in my book. Miami couldn't hold our jockstrap. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augolf1716 21,109 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Last game I watch with my older brother in Boca Gran, Fl we had a great time drinking beer going to the beach eating all the seafood we wanted. Lots of great memories.... Then he died on my birthday the following year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarely a game I missed in the 80’s if in driving distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dshep4au 266 Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 I was there- really a surreal feeling to the game. They asked the bands to go under the stands and the cheerleaders to turn off their microphones. But the fans just stayed put with the sirens going off and thunder and lightning while the teams played on! I can still remember looking up and seeing the light pole swaying. I was young and stupid- it never occurred to me to leave. 🤣 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recall it being terribly humid and unstable feeling first half. Game would have taken forever given todays lightening delay rule. Guess lightening was not dangerous back in the 80’s.

New York Times computer poll ranked the 1983 Auburn Tigers number one in the country! So, why doesn’t the Athletic Dept. claim it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japantiger 4,051 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 That was some storm...I remember watching it roll in...no one near us budged. I had forgotten the Agee fumble to give them another chance...remember those two long runs by Bo like it was yesterday. No one reversed field like that back in those days. Good memories... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
