FYI…I started watching Bama football in ‘78.
1. Auburn ‘89 - the first game at Jordan Hare. We came into the game undefeated, and after the miracle blocked FG against Penn St, this seemed like a team of destiny. Great Cinderella season, with Gary Hollingsworth replacing the injured Jeff Dunn at the beginning of the season, which everyone thought was the end of our season. Thought we were destined for a National Championship going into this game.
2. Penn St ‘86 - came into this game undefeated, and ranked #2, after starting the season ranked #5 and a big win over Ohio St. Thought this team was on a NC run, but we just played awful on that day.
3. Southern Miss ‘90 - coming off that exciting ‘89 season. I was prepared for another fun ride, but we lost in the first game of the season to a lessor team.
HM - USC ‘78.
I do have A LOT more good memories of W’s than L’s though.
