Having grown up in Florida it was a really big game for me. I think Florida cheated but I'm not sure.

I have to admit was my first time attending game in Atlanta.....loved the way the buildings set up a nice back drop at the stadium....and the Rambling Wreck looked pretty cool as the team takes the field.

Zeek 16,650 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Technically the game where the stadium caught on fire against LSU... I was too young to remember though (3 years old). The first one I remember was in 2000 when we played Arkansas. A lot of their fans kept saying, "get'er'done" and doing the stupid pig call. I remember asking my dad, "what's wrong with these people." To which he simply replied, "they're from Arkansas son they can't help it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oracle79 3,569 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 1969 Florida. John Reeves was supposed to be the stud, but threw 9 interceptions. Sullivan dominated. I was eight years old. Most interceptions thrown in a game Record: 9, by Florida's John Reaves vs. Auburn on Nov. 1, 1969.Buzz: Florida came in 6-0, thanks mostly to the passing arm of Reaves, who eventually was drafted in the first round by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1972. That day, though, Reaves attempted 66 passes and completed nine to Tigers defenders; Auburn LB Sonny Ferguson had three picks, and LB Bobby Strickland and DBs Buddy McLinton and Larry Willingham had two interceptions each. McClinton finished with a school-record nine picks that season. Auburn won 38-12. The loss was the Gators' only setback that season, as they finished 9-1-1. Reaves finished the season with 24 TD passes and 19 interceptions; he graduated with 7,549 passing yards, which was the most in NCAA history at the time. On the way home driving out of the stadium, got to see Pat Sullivan jogging along the road after the game. I was already hooked, but that sealed the deal. Sorry if already posted.

UGA had a 10 point lead, AU took a 10 point lead, UGA ties it and sends it to OT (Terrance Edwards BARELY stepped out of bounds or they would have won in regulation). OT was the Rudy/Ben Leard show. Fun night on the Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumterAubie 3,031 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 1974 Auburn vs Tennessee. Auburn wins 21-0. In the 4th quarter, Auburn fans were calling down to Coach Jordan to have the offense punt on 3rd down. Seems Tennessee had done just that in a 21-0 win over Auburn the year before in Knoxville. Shug, being the gentleman he was, declined to stoop to that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,865 Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Season opener, September 1990 vs Cal State-Fullerton. P.A Announcer calls planning to be RS Freshmen Otis Mounds out of stands to report to the locker room and get dressed. RB unit running thin and Dye asks where the Mounds kid is. Can’t make this stuff up. Also think it was Stan Whites first game as starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense we had names like Tracy Rocker, Ron Stallworth, Aundray Bruce, Kurt Crain, Quentin Riggins, Kurt Ogletree, Kevin Porter and Win Lyle That team was loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Think we discussed this some time back but my first game was AU-Clemson in Mobile....think 1953....and AU vs Tulane down there was the next. I never saw a game on the AU campus until I enrolled in June 1959.....in fact I never had seen the AU campus until my parents dropped me off in front of Mag Hall and headed back to Mobile. Hardly ever missed an AU game while I was there and made road trips as often as I could find a ride...Miss State, Georgia, Tennessee ...and games in B'ham during the 1960s. Great times....student tickers were reserved seats and cost ONE DOLLAR....' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something about sons picking up their dad's rival as their favorite team.....my son has been a bama since he was about 8 or 10 ...guess that is a kid's way of rebelling against a parent in a manner that won't get him spanked or grounded....
