Alabama game I ever attended. What a game it was. Bama was up early if I remember correctly and then Jones and McFadden started bringing Arky back and then the final catch in the endzone. I’ll always remember this game.

For the team coming from behind in the 4th quarter, and in general changing a mindset from dread to optimism of the second half. It had been a long time before that play since there was anything to look forward to about the second half of an Alabama football game.

was a eurphoric experience. I had the good fortune of being on the 2nd row on the 35 yrd line behind the Bama bench. This was also my first night game. That was Saban’s first SEC home game at Bama and I remember wanting to be there for the historical significance of that. There were so many big plays in that game. I remember when Arky was starting to come back, Dmack was wearing us down late. After Caddell caught that pass, I doubted for several seconds afterwards that it would stand. Maybe I had been conditioned to be pesimistic after just coming off the Shula years. I kept looking up at the score board just make sure the play counted. I didn’t fully believe it did until we kicked the PAT. I remember thinking to myself, “THERE, now they can’t take it away from us.” I still held out on being confortable in the victory until time expired. As we all exited BDS, everyone was on cloud nine. I walked out of there screeming “ROLL TIDE” so many times I lost my voice. It felt like we won the national championship. After dealing with, and expecting to be let down in the previous years of watching Alabama football, it was nice not to be, for once. Now only a year later, we expect to win. Not something I’ve personally experienced since Stallings (which seems like a lifetime ago since I was a child then).

This game had a different feel to it from the very beginning. Very electric. Right after this catch, it was the loudest I have ever heard BDS be. Very memorable.

What the hell is that fool babbling about. I’m glad i was at this game on not trying to watch it on tv.

…had a couple of oneiric moments in his final game vs. Colorado as well, though not as grand as this catch against those Nutty old Hogs.

…hugging complete strangers after that catch. Euphoric.

By the time Caddell had caught the pass, I had had multiple heart attacks during the game. Like the poster had previously mentioned, when Arkansas took the lead, I did not think we would come back, as the Shula years had conditioned me to think that way. The entire GW-drive, I kept thinking, “Ok, so when are we going to fall apart, because it should’ve happened by now.” I was speechless after the catch, and I was giving high fives to everyone around me, hugging everyone.
