The best moment was when we thought we beat LSU

The worst moment was the next play

And then it happened again the same year against North Carolina in the MCB. That year was just horrible. I remember watching both of those games, and just feeling like I got kicked in between the legs.

Best Miracle in South Bend
Worst 1990 Bama game

Fortunate to see both. Gentleman dropped dead from heart attack as I was coming out of gate 21 for the 90 game which put sports into a better perspective for me. I would also throw in the Arkansas game in his last season as worst. But South Bend was incredible. Saw it with my Dad . We were high up in end zone of stadium under touchdown Jesus. Went on field after game .

I chose to take a different path, instead of highlighting games, I chose events in most cases...

Majors
high- Miracle at South Bend
low- rumors (?) of being drunk on sidelines during games

Fulmer
high- national championship
low- inconsistencies last 2-3 years

Kiffin
high- the excitement/attention he brought to the program (not all was good)
low- way he left

Dooley
high- orange pants and teams could score
low- public perception of a "no-name" coach coming here

Jones
high- actually thought he brought some optimism to the program, energy, taglines (until they got old)
low- taglines wore out quickly, seemed to wear out his welcome

Pruitt
high- still waiting...
low- too many to mention at this point
