I have a lot. Mine probably is the Mayor's Trophy Game in 1990 because my Dad took me as usual, at that time, and I remember just sitting there talking about baseball while we kicked Ole Miss's ***. Even better, Ole Miss's only run came as an indirect result of a BS balk call by the first base umpire.
I remember my Dad saying- "I can't believe that. Well, you're about to see an arguement." And right on cue, out trots Ron Polk." Of course, both me and my Dad were berating the umpire and encouraging Polk to get kicked out. And I will say the arguement was classic Polk. He had to have been out there for about 10 minutes before he finally got ejected. When he did, the crowd went nuts, and then Polk just screamed WHAT!?? after he got kicked out, and then went back for more. After another five minutes or so, the same umpire ejected him aGAIN. Then when Polk went back to the dugout, he got into an arguement with the home plate umpire. And we were sitting right behind first base, so all of this happened right in front of us.
Great times. We beat Ole Miss 4-1 that day, and later in the year we beat them 17-0 and 9-0.

Sitting in the boxes at Vaught Heminway listening to the Rebel bigshots cuss and seeing the word A-T-L-A-N-T-A spelled across the stadium in the State section. also, The victory over LSU to claim the official SEC regular season hoops championship in 91 The immaculate interception Every victory over Alabama The 96 Final Four Run The day after last year's Egg Bowl
MSU in the Final Four, are you kidding... One of the 4 schools everybody in the country was talking about. Better recognition than a BCS bowl, IMO.
1) Final Fours are completely earned, not birthrighted by winning a conference
2) screw it, I'd rather be in a BCS bowl. But the Final Four run was still like a dream.

1) The win at Bama in 04. Bowers somehow got open under the goal to win it.
2) Z's winning layup to beat Ole Miss at the Tad Pad.
3) Beating Florida in 2000 and running onto the field after the game.

I was in the 10th grade. We ended up sitting right behind a jackass in my class at school that was a big prick of a typical bama fan, complete with the toilet paper and a box of tide. That 17er screamed roll tide about a million times that day. My friend finally "accidentally" bumped him in the back of the head with his cowbell. Everybody around us cheered when it happened. My grandfather got us about 100 of the "I was there" stickers and we put them all on his Monte Carlo one night. We were there watching when he came out to go to school and he cried about having to drive his car to school that day.
The 2004 Timmy Bowers basketball game at Coleman Coliseum (worst until about 10 minutes left in regulation)
