A specific game or even better a specific play? In your opinion.

Hit it!

Auburn 1995 went from mediocre to respectable.

Tennessee 2001 went from respectable to a force.

Georgia 2003 went from a force to a powerhouse.

Tyson Browning's 93 yard Screen pass TD in 03'. Crowd got louder.

It's been on ever since

I would go with the goal-line stand against UT in the 01 SECCG being when we turned into contenders.
The drive during the 03 season where I knew we would not lose again that year was the 20+ play drive almost completely on the ground @USCe.

Love him or hate him, but Nick Saban is the answer here.

I'd rather shower at Penn State than support Alabama however.

Yeah, the Bring Back the Magic game was awesome, made us realize there was some hope (my soph. year incidentally)

Then hiring Saban...

Agreed

People now don't realize how hood they have it. I camped outside for Indy Bowl tickets in '95. Indy Bowl tickets.

UGA 2003 - a Program defining moment. THE point of inflexion, where thereafter LSU fans confidence level was at a whole new level, as was the teams, and the Program we know now was born.

I was at that game and during the drive I had to piss so bad from being drunk. When I got back to my seat, I thought we had punted and gotten the ball back!
