Most will list the obvious so I’ll list a few that most people should rewatch

Hail Flutie BC Miami day after Thanksgiving
Penn St Miami Fiesta Bowl
UVa Michigan Season opener 95/96 it was played in real early August only way I got to see it
Miracle at Jourdan-Hare was better of the 2 miracle Auburn games I felt
Ole Miss Arkansas 7 OT (Hell pick any of the Arkansas 7 OT games)
Stoernover. I only saw the 4th quarter as we were just finished playing

There was so many games I never saw due to us playing or traveling

(Oct. 15, 2005) – Freshman Steve Slaton ran for 188 yards and scored a school-record six touchdowns to lead No. 25 West Virginia to a 46-44, triple-overtime victory over No. 19 Louisville in a battle for first place in the Big East Conference Saturday in Morgantown.

Texas v USC ‘05

Still one of the greatest individual performances in a big game of all time. Vince Young put on his Superman cape and carried that team to the title.

Wasn’t there a Bama Florida game in the 90’s that went into OT and both teams missed extra points or something like that?



You mean we were missing kicks in the 90's as well.

The best I ever attended was USC-LSU 1979. The best I watched on TV was #1 Nebraska at #2 Oklahoma in 1971.

Hot take: 2005 USC @ Notre Dame was a better game than the 05 Rose Bowl.

The hype around that matchup is simply unseen nowadays. It wasn't manufactured. It wasn't steril. It wasn't forced. It was the Trojan Dynasty marching into Notre Dame Stadium on a crisp October day.


The grass (yes, still a natural field) was grown for weeks in an attempt to slow down USC. The green jerseys were pulled out. The tension was real.

It's still the best game I've ever seen.

College Football will never again be like that. It's over. The magic will never return...

I saw two great games in person in 2001. Jeff Smoker to TJ Duckett with one second left to break Michigan hearts was tough.

I also saw Michigan State at Northwestern. Last five minutes was ridiculous.

Kick 6. I was there as usual. It was crazy. I cant even explain it.


I got so damn drunk that night and it was the first time I have stayed on the Auburn campus that late in a very long time

Damn that was a fun night
