also was a night game... and the only ones in the Miles era I can think of is either Florida or Auburn '11 just from a sheer beat down perspective...

2003 UGA. I was always a Tiger fan but on that day something changed. Ever since then every win means more and every loss hurts like hell.

Same here. It was one of the best games I've ever been to since I've been going to home games since '78.

1. Georgia 2003 17-10
2. Auburn 1969 21-20 -
(my first ever Tiger game w/Dad)
3. Ole Miss 1964 11-10 I think
4. Alabama 2000 30-28
5. Ohio State 1987 13-13
6. Alabama 2010 24-21
7. Three in 2011: Arkansas, Florida, Auburn
8. Ole Miss 1978 30-8
9. Ole Miss 1980 38-16
10. Washington 1983 40-14
11. Arkansas 1995 28-0
12 Arkansas 1999 35-10
13 Arkansas 2001 41-38
14 Arkansas 2003 55-24
15 Oregon St 2004 22-21
16 Tennessee 2010 16-14
17 Ole Miss 2010 43-36

Technically you could say the 2007 Arkansas and 2008 Alabama games STARTED in the day. Both OT losses.

Also South Carolina 2012 23-21
and Ole Miss 2012 41-35

First ever ESPN night broadcast (although I believe it was a 6:30 kickoff.) Jim Simpson and I think Paul Hornung were the broadcasters.

USC 79....I remember it like yesterday....so amazing..

Ga. 03 ranks high, too

But I loved Florida because I had my youngest son right by me and we were CRAZY that night. It was a special night for mom and son to share. I will never forget it, and I don't think he will either!

LSU 28 Notre Dame 8

LSU passing for a TD as time was running out and Ara Parseghian crying that he would never bring another Notre Dame team to Tiger Stadium make this game one of the all-time greats.

Shreve,
Do you remember if the '64 Ole Miss game was the one where Doug Moreau caught a 2 pt conversion pass near the end of the game to pull it out 11-10?
Because I remember seeing highlights of that play on an LSU VHS highlight collection and it looked like the sun was out?

You are correct about Washington '83. I should have known - I was a sophomore at LSU
Guess I remember standing in line all day and that the game started when the sun was still out.

Georgia '03.
Just before the rematch in the SECCG, Mark May predicted a Ga win, & called the LSU win in TS a "fluke". The Atlanta arse-whoopin of Ga made him a believer.

Also, with Ga leading & things looking dim, at 5:00 pm, the announcer directed the fans' attention to the Pershing Rifles retiring the colors for the evening, and announced: "IT IS NOW SATURDAY NIGHT IN DEATH VALLEY!"

You mean when UGA tied it up at 10-10 right?
