1995 is probably the obvious choice, but I love the 5 overtime game in 2003.

Any thoughts?

1982 and 1996... because we won that '96 game in the same fashion that Bama used to hand it to us from '86 to '94.

Down 13 in the third quarter, a pick-six by Fair and smashmouth football from Jay Graham. Awesome.

1995 - 41-14 in Birmingham. First play - Manning to Kent over the middle - give him six. It was great except for Alabama's finest deciding to use the mace and pepper spray on us after the game. Sore losers.

I forgot about the infamous Manning bootleg in this game too.

Me and you are on the same page...i felt the exact same way about that game...

but it's hard not say 95....all that frustration was let out in a blow out win over Bama....

2003...the 5 OT game....i loved that that game came down to the ultimate wire and we won, in their house. really broke their hearts.

95 though has to be no. 1 for me though.

Well I have been to UT-Bama games in 95, 97, 99, 01,03, and 05. I have never seen a UT vs. Bama in Neyland but I hope to one day. Out of all of those games, my vote would be the 95 game for many reasons, but most importantly because it was my 1st UT-Bama game to attend and most importantly the outcome, 41-14. A close 2nd would be the 5 overtime thriller of 03, I can remember being in the stands thinking when was it gonna end. They were both classic games.

It was 4th and 17. I've been to two games, both at Legion, 87 where we were killed, and 97 where we did the killing, therefore 97 for me. It was the first game my wife had ever been to. It was great, A UT fan was stabbed and we heard the F You lots of times after the game. My wife is from Atlanta, and she always roots for UT over GA. At least I've trained her right in one thing.

1996 - One of the best final minutes that I can ever remember . . . We were 80 yards away clearly playing for OT then BOOM.

2001. It was my first Bama game. The first game after the Uga debacle. Losing in the fourth quarter. Travis Stephens wont let it happen.

I was sitting below the "O" in your avatar and I watched that play develop from behind the ball. A thing of beauty.

Yeah but I was getting upset when Tennessee was running right at us driving down the field before that fumble. Phil went back to power football and it almost worked. Thank goodness Roman Harper made a great play. I was pretty mad and didn't get to enjoy it as much. I was relieved more than anything :)

2003. OT after OT after OT. Good stuff.

Last year was pretty exciting in a "which defense will break first" kind of way. All except the last 5 or 6 minutes, anyway.

Getting 8 interceptions and shutting out the Bear in 1970 was pretty sweet too, even if I wasn't around then.

Good ol' Tim Priest caught three of the eight.
