Which Auburn football game do you think exemplifies the Auburn Spirit most?

[caleb1633 1,421]

By Auburn spirit I mean that it sends chills up your spine making you proud to be an Auburn Tiger and that exemplifies everything said in the fight song and Auburn Creed.

I vote 2004 Auburn vs LSU. Just watched it on CSS and I don't know of another game that's given me cardiac arrest like that and given me more chills!

What is your's?

all great choices so far. the 2002 iron bowl for me. All those injuries and no one gave us a chance. I went to the game and was sitting in the front row of the endzone right where Robert Johnson caught the TD. Also had a great view of Tre busting through the middle for his long run.

2010 Iron Bowl. My son and I went into the belly of the beast and lived to talk about it. It busted the bammers' hearts!

[ellitor 33,764]

For me there is a number of them because when I think Auburn Spirit I think Auburn is the last team another team wants to see as a double didget dog or in a big hole. Given that premise here are my games....2010 Iron Bowl, 1993 and 1994 games against Florida, 1989 Iron Bowl, and my personal favorite the 1994 Pick 6 Bowl versus LSU.

There is no single game. I don't find the spirit in the game,

but in the players and and the fans, In the cheerleaders, In Aubie and the Eagle.

It's in the campus, It's in the stadium.  It's in the parking lots, fields, sidewalks, and streets packed with people.

In the classrooms, the university buildings, and the book stores close by.

It's in that feeling I get when the broadcast starts when I'm at home.

It's in the greatest of family greetings that I have heard around the world on even the hottest of summer days far away from football season.

It's not in a game, but in our hearts.

It's in the 2 short words, that have multiple meanings from hello, goodbye, Oh yes, and victory.

"War Eagle!"

Florida 93', UA 2010' are great games, different eras. Both undefeated teams.

2009 West Virginia Game. Leave the stadium for our own safety? No thanks. We're gonna sing.

Down 14 nothing in the first five minutes? Its ok we got this.

Long touchdown run to take the lead in the 4th Q and then a pick 6 on the next drive to put it away?

"Our fans were a huge reason we won that game."

No brainer the 2010 iron bowl,, I will never forget how orange the sunset was..we were thanking the GOOD LORD as we were leaving the stadium.

[Tiger n Miami AU83 25]

Too many to name, but I will list 10 of my favs at JH (all of which I attended except the 2010 games listed)

1989 UF - Shane Wasden on 4th and forever from Slack with seconds left

1989 Bama - First Time Ever

1990 FSU - Wild, wild, wild. And we taunted FSU with the tomahawk chop for 15 minutes after the game

1993 FL - Calvin Jackson

1994 LSU - Int game

2004 LSU - Launched the NC run

2006 LSU - Hardest hitting game ever

2006 FL - So loud, blocked punt, the "tuck" rule, awesome.

2010 LSU - Cam's domination and made believers of the entire country

2010 UGA - Cam taking the field and the way we rallied around him was unreal.

most of mine have been posted, but I'll add 2004 vs. Georgia

there was something about the atmosphere in that game, even wo a comeback or close score.

[Warbird82 160]

1989 Iron Bowl...you should see it on DVD if you haven't.  Off the charts good!

It did have the nastiest hit I've ever seen and a halfback pass...and we did bench David Green.

One of my favorites was the 2009 West Virginia Game. Everything about it made me proud to be a Auburn fan.

[johnnyAU 3,745]

Loved every one of those, and was present at some.

I would add the 2005 (I think) UGA game where Cox hit Aromashadu on 4th and a mile to set up the game winning FG. It would have been a fumble and a touchback had it not been for Courtney Taylor hustling and trailing the play.

I also liked the Kenny Irons 200+ or so performance against LSU and the 2004 UT game where the pundits were thinking UT was going to take it to us. Herbstreit even apologized afterwards for his pregame prediction.

The 2002 Syracuse game at home!

You know the Kenny Irons game was the game where Vaughn missed 5 FG's, including a game winner, and one to take it to double OT that hit the post...right? Not so much the Auburn spirit for me.

My favorites:

1972 Iron Bowl

1982 Iron Bowl

1994 LSU

[Rednilla 5,447]

What game exemplifies the Auburn spirit the most? I know this is going to be from a little out in left field, but I'm going with the 09 Iron Bowl. Yeah, we lost. Yeah, bammer went on to reduce Tebow to tears and crush McCoy en route to a national championship. Yeah, that was the year that Bama reclaimed its spot among the game's elite. They ripped our hearts out in the final minute.

But as they started with their rammer jammer crap, every Auburn fan in the house was chanting "It's Great to be an Auburn Tiger," effectively drowning them out and serving notice that NOTHING kills the Auburn spirit...

Great example and damn fine point. It was no different in the living room full of bammers me and a few other aubs were in. The chanting was unmistakable through the surround sound. We were all smiles & not a word was uttered until we left, so I was told. Through disbelief, shock, respect, or whatever you want to call it.. they had nothing to say. I think it's the only loss I've ever accepted.

My memory must have conveniently blocked that part out.    I'll switch that game with the LSU game in the late nineties where Cecil Collins and company ran all over us, but we kept coming back and eventually won the game.

My all time favorites (other than the 2010 IB) were the 1993 and 1994 UF games. Classic.

1972 Iron Bowl, it was the perfect execution of the last of Shug's "Seven D's of Success" - "Dammit anyway, find a way to win"

I like it. I will add the 1992 AU/UGA game at JH in the same vien. We were robbed worse than anygame I have ever seen in my lifetime. We were having a rough season in 1992 but had a shot to salvage it against UGA and Bama. We drove the length of the field in an awesome smashmouth run up the middle every single play 6-7 minute drive to win the game late. It was pure greatness IMO where UGA knew we were gonna run right at them and they couldn't stop it.

Well, we got down to the goal line and ran up the middle with about 30-35 seconds left with no timeouts and didn't get in. There was mass confusion, Ray Goff yelling at the UGA players to just lay on the ground. The refs never spotted the ball or did anything and just let the time run down and off the clock. For the only time I ever remember, Dye was devastated and at a total loss for words when they interviewed him after the game. It was a crushing loss.

But, the "Its Great to be an Auburn Tiger" chant got very loud about 5 minutes after the game ended and drowned out everything and all the UGA fans and band. It was an angry defiant chant that day too. My favorite ever because even though we were robbed in a heartbreaker in a rough year, the chant was still one of the loudest I remember.
