All Time Favorite Moment in Tiger Stadium

Posted on 7/13/12 at 8:59 am
As we all anxiously await the arrival of September 1, I thought I would stir up thoughts of everyone's favorite moment of all time in Tiger Stadium.
I had season tickets from '96-'04 with my dad, from '06-'08 as a student, in '09 after graduating, and me and my wife bought season tickets for this upcoming season (I know, CSB).
For me there are two moments that still give me goosebumps everytime I talk about it or watch a replay.
1. 2007 - During the Florida game when it was announced that Stanford had just defeated USC and the stadium just blew up, all the players jumping on the benches on the sidelines, the band breaking into a rare Pregame. Unfortunately, the momeny didn't last too long, as I believe UF scored about 5 minutes later. Awesome moment nonetheless and something I will never forget.
2. Also 2007 - When Demetrius Byrd caught the pass in the back of the end zone and the eruption from the crowd. Everytime I watch the replay, I get chills.
September 1 can't get here soon enough!

This topic is commonly referred to as a "target rich environment"...
btw... some of my moments go back to when I was a child in the 60's... good times!

'03 UGA game.
We knew we were going to win.
We knew that we would score again.
And after the crowd started chanting "LSU! LSU! LSU!" after Uga scored... Georgia knew it too!
Just awesome.

Georgia. Mauck to Green. We were in a UGA section and were getting harassed all game long.
From '85 to '92, nothing really stands out. I was at Earthquake, but that game sucked until that moment, and I was drunk anyway.

I am going old school: I was in the student section the night the oranges were thrown in 1982 against Florida State. Some of the oranges had been injected with Vodka. That was quite a treat for a 12 year old who was snuck in the section by a cousin.

As a student:
It was a day, home game against Mississippi State (mid 1990s). Overcast and rainy. Before halftime, it stopped and Frank Wickes told us to take our raincoats off to march the halftime show. As soon as we lined up on the sideline, it began to pour. The crowd went nuts. Everyone's shoes were purple and yellow from the paint on the field.
As a fan:
Seeing the referee defer to the video replay board against Alabama in 2000 and winning that game. Thank you, Kevin Wagner.

'97 UF. Was there with my late Dad. I almost cried I was so glad to finally beat darth visor and send those cocky gators back to G-ville. Adding to that is the fact that I know so many gator fans living here. It was also a VERY unexpected outcome, that added immensely to the atmosphere.

Funniest moment in Tiger Stadium...wasn't this the game where two guys ran onto the field and mooned the UF bench?? Then had cops trying to chase after them and one of the cops dove for one of the guys and completely missed...

1995 Auburn game with Troy Twillie intercepting a pass in the end zone on the last play to secure a victory.
Favorite play was last year though. Mathieu taking the 92 yard punt return to the house vs. Arky, place was rocking.

1997 about an hour and a half before kickoff against Florida. Slip Watkins made his way into the locker room for the first time since having his heart surgery. the way the team reacted to him coming in, you just knew we were going to kick Florida's arse that night.

The Bring Back the Magic Game. The whole game. I think I suffered permanent hearing loss from that game. Well, also because I accidentally tackled a friend of mine down about five rows of bleachers once we won. I did get hit in the head with a whiskey bottle, so I had an excuse for slipping.
