I have been going since 1957 and have witnessed all the aforementioned. However, nothing beats watching my two daughters,cheerleaders, perform
pregame and lead the Tigers out of the tunnel and onto the field. Unbelievable moments.

Our comeback vs. Stanford in the 2000 CWS Final gives me goosebumps. Starting with Barbier's HR all the way to Cresse's RBI to end the game.

When Mauck ran in the last TD against Tenn in the 01 SECCG and we knew it was over.


umm it was not over then. DD's TD run on 4th and goal is what iced that game. But yes that was the wildest game away from home i have ever attended including the 2003 and 2007 SEC titles and national titles. We stood the whole game. we SHOCKED THE WORLD!!

Agreed. When our hitting went cold in the middle innings, I thought it was over.

People also forget the amazing pitchers we went through that year - UCLA had great hurlers in the SR, Texas had great arms in the first round of the CWS, then we faced Mark Prior (douche) in the second round, then Stanford's 2 studs (although I can't remember their names now) in the 'ship. We had lots of talent, but the will to win was even stronger.

Edit add: Hawpe's homers against USC may be my favorites ever (and that's saying a lot). They were frickin' bombs, and against the biggest pricks ever:

1. LSU-Georgia. As it's been said, when the whole crowd went silent after the screen play, then all of a sudden, everyone is chanting LSU. Skyler caught that ball directly in front of us Freshman year. Just nuts

2. UF-LSU, 2007

3. UC Irvine-2009

4. Warren Morris, only because I wasn't in the crowd for it. But everytime I hear, "that's way back there, way back there, HOMERUN, TIGERS WIN"

If Billy Cannon's punt return to beat Ole Miss in 1959 was the play of the 20th century, this is the play of the 21st century, even in 2011. I was in BDS for this game with Alabama 2011, and Alabama, the team and the crowd, was never the same after this play.

You know, Alabama, give 'em two chances and they're good, but with just one chance?--nah.

Thunder Tiger - I will always remember the play near the end when Blanton hit the shot down low and went screaming and waving his arms as he got back on defense. That was an incredible year and he had an incredible individual run outplaying John Salley and William Bedford in that tournament. Gutsy, emotional, incredible game.

Pick-six against Florida in '97
That was amazing. I recall the last INT late in the game that seemed to clinch it, and the catch by Booty that really did clinch it, and the awesome tingly sensation as it sunk in that this really, really was going to happen!

Had the same feeling (even more intense) watching Lionel Turner sack Jason White:

"Oh, my, God; this is REALLY gonna happen!!!"

No doubt. As the Kentucky game played out I kept waiting for the inevitable big run by them and/or huge collapse by us. When Blanton started spastically waving his arms after his last layup I realized they'd done it, and I was just shocked for what seemed like a few seconds, before I burst out screaming.
