I'm relatively young, but I'd have to say it was after the 2013 win against Florida. I was in high school at the time and all the UF fans were talking crap for weeks about how they were coming off a double-digit win season, and how we'd barely won seven games the year before (sound familiar?). It was going to be a "blowout," and they were "going to start a streak against us." My section at Sunlife (I don't remember if that was the f**cking name of the stadium at the time) was full of Gator fans that were beyond obnoxious and loud. They had this type of fake confidence where you could tell they were trying to look down on all the Miami fans. Obviously, they all thought this game would be a blowout and that it'd be done by half. They started shi*ing themselves at the end of the third once they realized they could actually lose.
Once Duke ran it in and put the game out of reach in the final minutes, they started clearing out quick. The guys that'd been talking to me all game muttered "congrats" and didn't even make eye contact as they left. All the Gator fans at school didn't even talk about the game. When they did they made the usual excuses: "if we hadn't turned it over 5 times," "9 out of 10 times we would've beat you," "the refs rigged it." Once their season went to crap they tried to equivocate the loss saying we'd beaten the worst UF team in decades. Didn't matter though, we beat them at full strength before the injuries and they had a collective meltdown.

Tough call, of the games I attended the '02 FSU game and '03 Florida game were incredible. The ND game from '17 is up there as well, since I got to share it with my son and he got to experience what it used to feel like to be a Canes fan.
.... Add in kicking the crap out of UWashington on the return game during the Dorsey era... sweet revenge

Same here, I was explaining to my kids the exact same thing, this is what is used to be like every week...
Lol.... did he get flagged for that or was that considered outside the stadium...
That was an angry game ... felt like we were beating down a bully's lil brother... after the bully ran away... never could take away the feeling of being cheated at south Bend

After the WVU game when Winslow made that sick catch. I had run into this chick that I went to UM with and slayed her in the parking lot of the sports bar we were at.

2003 UF. Best night after the game too. UF fans were belligerent, unaccepting and in total disbelief they lost.

OU 2009. I had Alot of OU fans **** talk me from 2007 up until the 2009 game. I haven't had a Cane win feel that good since then.
Sure, that 81' game was huge, but as a fan of the Canes in the 70's, to me that was the game.

This is my list almost to the T. Only other two games I would add were '03 vs Florida and '01 vs. Washington.

Don't forget the 02 FsU comeback. Another example of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Gets lost in history a bit because if the OSU NC debacle.
