I knew we were in trouble when we couldn't get the 1st down to run the clock out before you score your tying TD.
No 1993? A I mean aside from Auburn being barred from TV, it was an exciting one.
I wouldn't call the '21 Iron Bowl boredom, it just built tension throughout the game until the moment was right. Bama failed to get a 1st down with 2 minutes to go and it felt like the game was over. Bryce takes Bama on a 98-yard drive in less than a minute with no timeouts. Four overtimes. Amazing.
I was at the '96 Iron Bowl as well. My dad took me out of the stadium when he thought we had lost. We walked around Legion Field to get to the other side of the parking lot and we heard the crowd roar. We went back in and I was field level in the end zone Bama was headed toward. I was 16 and everyone started pushing me toward the front. I climbed up on top of the fence to try and see, but even then I could only see the tops of the players' helmets. When Riddle scored, a large man I had never met gave me a huge bear hug and lifted me off the ground. It was pure pandemonium! That was one of the greatest moments of my life.
I don't remember much about the '93 Iron Bowl, but I also didn't want to add any that Bama lost. I try to forget those.
It was the Nix to Sanders one. Stan White was the starter and went down with an awful knee injury in the third with Bama up 14-5.
I'm surprised that one would be in the top 5 for anyone born after 2000. 2009 was a far better iron bowl, imo.
2009 was great, but no it’s really not better than 2019 as a game. 2009 was basically 2021 in which Bama got into a stupid struggle against an Auburn team that had no business being on the same field with them. They were great final drives but not really great games. Yes as an Alabama fan it is a treasured game but objectively it wasn’t as great of game. It’s like saying the 2009 Tennessee game was a great game.
