I want more to choose from next year! haha

All are precious in my sight. But I picked Miss. State because I was there, and I hope to never forget Mallett’s five touchdowns that day, especially the long bomb to Cobi Hamilton.

I chose the Auburn game

The tiger fans at track em tigers had the nerve to act like we (The Hogs) are second class SEC members and that losing to us was bad. I told them that we may have a little catching up to do for a couple of the SEC elite but we surely don’t take a back seat to the auburn tigers. I enjoyed ragging them on their blog.

well said...thanks for having our back!

I’m sure you reminded them that, after losing to us 3 times in 4 years, maybe it’s not the Hogs that are the 2nd class team.

Amen brother!

I didn’t realize that we’ve whupped up on the war eagles, tigers ( they don’t even know which mascot that they want to use) so bad these last few years.

I voted Auburn

because it was a bit of a coming out party for the hogs, even though the partying was premature. Auburn was ranked #17 and undefeated coming into Fayetteville and the game certainly answered many questions about the capability of the 2009 Hogs. The defense played better than it had previously and the offense was fun to watch. Michael Smith had 145 yards in what would be one of his last great performances as a Hog. Mallette chunked it for 274 yards and two TDs. Dennis Johnson had some good looking kick returns. And of course, it was fun beating a Malzahn offense for the second year in a row.

Plus, I was there and it was awesome.

I voted TAMU.

Because, really, when’s the last time we beat a non-coference opponent from a BCS conference? Yeah, yeah, I know, Texas, 2003. 6 years is a long time to wait, though.

also at the time Barn was on a 5 game win streak

It has to be Auburn. They thought they were so good and got blown off the field.

O RLY

Arky is starting to always seems to have our number when it comes to that game for some reason. Especially as of late. Looked like AU might come back there for a while.

TAMU

Surrounded by too many Aggies makes the win sweet for me. Winning the first game of the 10-year series was very important. I think it is a great non-conference move (a little better than the so-close USC games we had a few years ago) because, as dxf04 said, we will get a win against a Big-12 team every year.
At the same time, the Auburn win was great/critical and it is always great to beat Spurrier!
Go Hogs!

A&M

It was in the big stadium in Arlington, national TV and we whipped up on them. That game will help recruiting more than any other win.

TAMU

Three of my best friends are TAMU graduates…wait “Ex-Students” and we’ll all be attending the World Cup in South Africa together next year. We beat them like a red-headed step-child and I’ll get to rub it in and give those guys sh*t for an entire year. Plus, it was at the JerryDome, on national TV, and should help with recruiting. Why TAMU isn’t a perennial Top 10 team is beyond me.
