I had the chance to attend the 1998 game between Tennessee and Mississippi State.

Tennessee was undefeated and was actually down in the third quarter.

Tee Martin found Peerless Price in the end zone for a touchdown and they were able to add another touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

Close game but great memories.

They were down in the 4th quarter after Prentiss returned a punt for a touchdown.

2011 LSU-Georgia.

Didnt get a first down until the third quarter but still dominated because of special teams and defense.

When we got that first down in the third quarter, all of the LSU fans cheered like crazy.

We should have duplicated that offense in the rematch with Bama…….

The first and only SEC title game I attended was 2007 for LSU vs Tennessee. I was 11 years old and my dad was offered an extra ticket by my cousin's to go with them to the game. I was happy for him but he could tell I was bummed I couldn't go because that was the first season I really got into watching LSU football every weekend I could. So he ended up buying a set of two tickets so I could go with them all.

The pick 6 from Jonathan Zenon is etched in to my memory forever. Then watching the West Virginia-Pitt game and Mizzou-OU games in the hotel lobby after, celebrating knowing LSU had a chance for the title game added to the whole experience.

I only went to one, 2008, and we lost. So I guess it's 2012. Two best teams playing, probably best SECCG ever. It was the first of two national titles that we took from UG in the 2010s.

Probably my favorite too, just because how Tyrann Mathieu went absolutely bonkers returning punts with 2 of the most absurd I've ever seen.

Best game?

2012 Bama-UGA which was the real NC game. Murray drives to the red zone down but the receiver goes down in bounds and UGA runs out of time.

Most fun? 2009 Bama-UF. In a rematch Saban takes down Urban and Tebow launching the Bama dynasty.

LSU had more points than passing yards in that game

While the 2012 SEC Championship between Alabama and Georgia might be the best of all of them, my favorite will always be the 2009 game between #1 Florida and #2 Alabama. Two undefeated juggernauts playing for a spot in the BCS National Championship Game. High drama and actual stakes.

Actually, beating the shite out of Georgia as Justin Vincent ran wild in '03.

Attended all 13 UGA has played in. Super quick hitter memory from each:

02- blocked a punt early and was one of the loudest single moments I've experienced. That crowd was rabid after a 20 year drouhg
03- Justin Vincent was unstoppable, as was LSU's DL. Couldn't do anything on offense
05- 2 long TD passes early and we jumped out a quick lead LSu could never recover from
11- valiant effort from an overmatched team for one half before getting overmatched by suprioer opponent. mathieu threw the ball OOB before crossing teh goal line but who cares
12- ugh. shitty ending but when we blocked a FG and ogletree housed it to go up 21-10 it was ELECTRIC
17- deandre swift's long run to ice it looked like he was sped up and everyone else was in slow motion
18- herculean effort by us against a suprioer opponet, just gave out of gas late
19- super overmatched and had injuries/suspensions to boot. Never stood a chance
21- one of the worst gameplans I've seen from kibry in 10 years. Still don't know WTF they were thinking with that one.
22- went about how it should have
23- amarium mims going out and the refs giving bama a free TD before half were the difference
24- unebelievable game by the defense when beck couldn't do shite. Gunner's first real game action. Ballsy as frick fake punt in our own terriroty late but it worked
25- cathartic beatdown where the defense dominated

It may sound shitty, but there might be too many to count for Bama.





But here's the one that started it all and sent Bama to the Sugar Bowl to beat the shite out of Miami for a national title.

If Tennessee wins out, they'll likely play Georgia in the championship game this year.

Gotta be 2002 Arkansas. Not a competitive game but to finally win one was incredible. Stomping LSU with Shockley in 2005 was great too.

Sadly the two I attended live we lost (2004 LSU, 2012 Bama). Bama had potential to be an all timer

Arkansas played in the SEC champ game 3x and Ole Miss never even appeared.

That's a hell of a thing.
