I always loved Brent Musburgers line during the LSU championship game"It's a mauling folks...a mauling!"It still gives me goosebumps to this day.I know Eli had a great line after the 2009 game against Texas about the Rosebowl too "And the roses in this stadium are once again crimson".I'm curious what other peoples favorites might be.I'm 39 so there may be older people that remember some of the Keith Jackson calls.I know he had some good ones against the Canes in '92.

I can't find a clip of it in isolation, but Verne Lundquist's line in the opening of the 2005 Florida game or maybe it was after Prothro's opening 87 yard TD on the first play. The crowd was going insane, Florida had played Kentucky the week before. His line was something like "There are few certain things in an uncertain world, but one of them is this: This ain't Kentucky."

2016 - Look out! Kenyan Drake can fly!
2018 - The Crimson Tide has once again ascended to the top of the college football mountain.

Whenever I watch the 2016 NCG against Clemson I still get goosebumps when I hear Chris Fowler say " Alabama back on top of the college football world!"

At the end of the championship game against Georgia, you can hear Phil Steele shouting "Touchdown!!!", and Eli says "Touchdown Alabama!" as only Eli can - makes me totally choke up.

Frank Broyles. 1985, "The Kick." Shula had just thrown to Richardson to get Alabama to the Auburn 35. 6 seconds left in the game and Van Tiffin sets down the tee. "My heart won't take it."

Probably one of my favorite lines during a Bama broadcast happened prior to the game with Tennessee. Jerry Duncan was the sideline and Doug Layton was doing color.

Duncan: Doug, if you look down at the far end of the field, you can see Old Smokey the Tennessee mascot, coming out of the tunnel and onto the field.....”

Layton: “Yeah and if I had my .30-06 with me I could drop him from here.”

Rest in Peace, Doug.

“There are few truths in an uncertain world. Here’s one: this ain’t Kentucky.”

“What’s Britney doing these days”

“Get to the boundary, Greg!”

“Drake can fly!”
