Top Ten Plays/Moments of 2008?
We'll be starting in on the season wrap up bit over the next few days, and one of the things I'm going to do is a post a day series on the top plays/moments of the year. I've got a handful in mind that have to be on it, but I want y'all's input as well. Here's what I'm thinking:
- National Signing Day
- The leaked video of Julio's TD catch during practice
- The Clemson beatdown
- Coffee running all over Arkansas
- The Tennessee win
- "Georgia's wearing black because they're going to a %$#$%^& funeral."
- Arenas almost single handedly beating Tulane
- End of the Streak
- Johnson's INT at LSU
- Wilson's back shoulder throw to Julio in
INTOT at LSU
That's some off the top of my head, but I know there are plenty more. Chime in, people

JPW last throw
in the Sugar bowl. That is my number one moment on the year.
Auburn fans are like slinkys... not really good for anything but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

In no particular order
The fade – JPW to Julio against UGA (yep, THAT good)
JPW QB sneak winning TD in OT against LSU (breaking hearts)
Coffee’s TD run in the Iron Bowl (the route was on)
Julio’s long catch and run in the SECCG on our first drive (if you thought this was gonna easy…)
Coffee’s long TD run against UK
The Flea flicker against Ole Miss
R. Johnson’s INT return for a TD against LSU (that was a HUGE momentum swing at point in the game, but nobody remembers because of what happened in OT)
Thirty-Six to Nothing

UGA in Black
Because your team really did not play it up, they did (recall Richt’s news conference—the dorkus), and your guys spoke your piece on the field. That’s the way to do it. Great team effort there, that’s a real highlight, the entire team getting it done and going wild.

How about the win @TN?
First win there since Watts was QB, virtually ended the UT career of the Great Pumpkin, 8th win – officially topping the ’07 win total, and a noble reason to enjoy a fine cigar!

All the empty stadiums
by the 4th quarter except for Bama fans and ALL those great rammer jammer cheers at the end of the games.
That's the paradox of success. The moment you stop to enjoy it, you are in trouble. You have to keep moving forward. It's not what you have done that's important. It's where you are going.

Well...
…although the game itself was a bust…
1. Javy’s return for a TD against Utah was one of the best plays of the year in college football. He outran ’em, he knocked ’em down, and it reminded us all of just why CNS showed so much patience with him.
2. Saban’s timeout call was the top play of the Auburn game.
3. JPW’s over-the-shoulder pass to Julio to set up the game-winning TD vs. LSU.
4. The D holding UT out of the end zone after Javy fumbled the ball in the 1st quarter. Game-changing.
5. The flea-flicker vs. Ole Miss.
6. The first half of the Georgia game. The whole friggin’ thing.
7. Javy’s performance vs. Tulane.
8. The Clemson game. The tone-setter.
9. The videos: Julio’s TD and Cody’s ball-stripping knockdown…of two teammates.
10. #1 Recruiting Class.

How about
the 79 ,i think it was, points we put up in the 1st quarter through the 1st 6 games before giving up a field goal too ole miss….personally i’m glad we started playing “complete games”, but i wish we woulda kept up with the dominance in the 1st half(which i guess we did except fl and the utes)

The last few minutes of the Iron Bowl.
Not just because we beat the Barn (although that was nice), but that was a complete season! The electricity in BDS in those moments was more than just that game….you could see it in the fans, the players, the coaches—everyone in crimson there. Rammer Jammer just ROCKED! =)

The Unforgettable Moments.
1) The first half of “The Funeral” in Athens will never be forgotten — either by Tide or Dawg fans.
2) The 4th Quarters against UT and AU — watching Fulmer and Tuberville writhe in pain for a full quarter as they were ground into the turf was unforgettable. Couldn’t have happened to a classier duo.
3) The Clemson Game — starting the college football season off in prime time with a resounding beat down was a lot of fun.
Those memories easily make up for the failure to show up in New Orleans. (Lets face it — the only reason the fans cared was the “principle” of the thing and the players shared the same feeling.) On to recruiting.

Agreed.
That was an oversight. I would put the LSU OT (the memorable part of the game) in that list also. Those five games will not be forgotten any time soon.
