Hay Field 101 630 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 November 11, 1989 La Tech @ Auburn. On that day i was converted and baptized in Orange and Blue. My mother kept pictures of me with my Bear hat on sitting in Legion Field during the seventies watching bama play whoever. Thank God my parents did not make me be a bama fan. I had a choice some kids don't. Seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbomb 193 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 My first Auburn game was the Gator Bowl 1/2/1971. My parents gave my brothers and I tickets for Christmas and took us. I was nine. A Pat Sullivan led Auburn beat an Archie Manning led Ole Miss 35-28. I vividly remember Ole Miss needing a first down on third and a lot and Archie scrambling all over the field weaving and zigging probably running 80 yards to gain a first down by a yard or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 inconsequential, but Auburn vs. Southern Miss in '84, my first year at Auburn. I had no family connections, so never saw a game as a kid or any others. This was the year we opened #2 in the country and lost to Miami (20-18) and then Texas the first two weeks...eeek, that was 'unfun'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a weird neutral site that made sure neither fan base attended. That may be a hard game to find an attendee to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted March 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) My first game was at home vs. Chattanooga in 1955, my FR year. I have seen hundreds since then. After graduation had season ticket books for 60 years, 33 of those in the same great seats. Wrote sports column for the Plainsman in 1957, the year we won the NC. I still have a notebook with all the game articles and my ticket stubs. It was in the AU sports museum for a long time but they eventually gave it back to me. One rarity I can claim......we beat bama all four years I was in school. Edited March 2, 2022 by Proud Tiger 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TXaubie 566 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 First game was @ TCU 1980. I was 6 and we won. That’s about all I remember about that game.

L 27 - 35 Yes, Bo got hurt!! 😢 Remember every detail of that one. Grandpa came from B’ham and went with us. Great weekend even despite the lose. Man I thought we were gonna pull that one out!! It May be the reason I have such destain for Longhorn fan base. Lol We got them back in I think ‘92 ish though when I was in high school. By that time me and my brother had friends that went to school there. I will never forget walking thru a UT dorm shaking our orange and blue shakers.

I think Auburn at Virginia Tech in the 70s will be hard to find an attendee for. That game has been basically forgotten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmoney56 80 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 1974 home opener vs. Loserville. The third and fourth games are what really stick outfor me (I even saw all the road games being in the band). At the start of the 3rd game when the UTk team ran on the field a gazillion oranges came flying out of the stands. UTk got minus yards rushing that day mostly because Condredge Holloway was acked so many times. The 4th game was against Miami in the old Orange Bowl stadium. Auburn won 3-0 during a tropical storm. The band had to endure wet wool uniforms for the entire game. Fun times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnAlumFromThe423 84 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 It has been a while since anyone posted on this topic, but I can start the 90’s. My freshman year was 1994, but my first three games prior to my first JHS game were doozies: 1990 Peach Bowl vs. Indiana: Stan White naked bootleg with 39(?) seconds left for the victory. Ricky Sutton tossed me his chin strap after the game. 1993 @ Vanderbilt: Huge goal line stand helped out in that victory. 1994 @ Ole Miss: Went with my folks. First time I think I ever saw my dad shoot the bird. It was towards an Ole Miss player after he was taunting our fans after a touchdown. Great times! First JHS game: 09/17/94 vs. LSU: Jamie Howard’s finest hour. HA! I’ve been to at least one home game every year with the exception of 2020. I have ticket stubs for every single one of those games except for a game I went to at Starkville in ‘96. Certain scores and plays escape me now, but the memories last forever! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
