I still remember being in training in Jackson for my first job out of college and we had a basketball game at 6 in Starkville and we got out of training at 4:45. I think I went 75 on 16 and was 90 all the way on 25 from Carthage to Starkville. I pulled into Starkville on 2 wheels basically at about 5:55Quote:

I was actually there for all 3. I was 16 in 2014. What a time. I would say 2014 Auburn -Game day was a blast. I will NEVER forget that stadium chant during 2014 AM though
Yep, I was there for that one also. We watched them put up the portable light systems from the front porch of the fraternity house.Quote:

I could feel the stadium shake when Alabama turned the ball over on downs at the end. 1992 Florida is top three as well and Florida 2000 was a pretty good atmosphere.
With Croom, 2007 Alabama and the 2007 Egg Bowl that year were both pretty good.
For Dan, I would say Florida 2009 was a really good atmosphere even though we lost. I'd have to say Auburn 2014 was the best atmosphere during Dan's tenure though. Probably won't get much argument there if I had to guess. LSU 2017? Definitely a really fun game if you are a MSU fan. Texas A&M 2014 was a good atmosphere as well.
I received the news that we were #1 on my ride back home that Sunday. That was the best drive home ever.Quote:

If we somehow win the next two. I could the egg this year being more intense. Night game, egg bowl, three game win streak probably top 25 ranking, pulling ourselves out of the gutter, COTY talk. Man just so much would be riding in that game.Quote:

2014 Auburn. The only thing missing was a night game. However, the year Dak came off the sidelines from the nerve injury to beat Ole Miss was just as good. My man Nikoe with the strip fumble caused a dynamite explosion.
I remember that one. It was wild. There aren?t any good Thursday matchups any more.Quote:
