It sucks being the same age as old people.

Crap I’m getting old

Yep................remember sitting in the rain in this game. Almost got up and left after the 4th down TO........so glad I witnessed history. This and that FL game are two of the best games I ever witnessed in person. I wish we knew in the moment when we are in pivotal points of our personal life's history so I could appreciate and savor the moment more.

We had no idea at the time what we were witnessing.

Yes and what sucks even more is to see obits of people who are your age and younger. Time on earth is limited for us all.

Is she an arky fan?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I will never forget this game. My dad was about as angry as any person could get after we turned the ball back to Arkansas. Luckily, he listened to me when I begged him to not leave. That fumble was hands down the most
fortuitous play in UT football history. Travis Henry show after Clint coughed it up. Damn, I was 16 years old.

Is she an arky fan?

She's from AR, her whole family lives in AR are big AR fans and I might have said some disparaging things about the state and everyone that lives there. I might have even told her to her to get her AR a$$ out of my house. But IDK it is all a blur up until the fumble.

The next weekend we went to visit her parents, went with her aunt to this dive bar out in Mayflower or Conway. They were doing karaoke and of course I got up and sang Rocky Top.

...Chris Ramseur had really large shoulder pads?

It was 90's/early 00's thing. It really looks strange now looking back the way modern shoulder pads are so much more compact.

I got married on this day 25 years ago! My wife was in the reception hall with everyone but me and a couple of my grooms men!! GREAT DAY!!!

 

[MAD]

Where were you watching at that moment when it happened?

 

[AdoptedVOL]

"Greater", the movie about Brandon Burlsworth is worth a view. That young man is an incredible story. The VOLS could use some players with his heart.

Burlsworth took the blame for tripping ARs QB.

 

[VOLfrombama]

Looks like he had a neck roll or cowboy collar on top of his shoulder pads.

 

[DarkVolder]

I was there seems like a lifetime ago now. An amazing game and win.

I hate people that get married on gamedays.

In Neyland!

 

[72 KPT VOL]

Because the stakes were so high and late in the season…8-0 Vols vs. 8-0 Hogs with Vols having great comeback victory, this is my favorite game I have ever been to in Neyland. And I started going in 1965.
