Best and worst thing you’ve seen live at a Tennessee football game

[Orangeslice13]

The most heartbreaking thing I’ve seen was in 1990 when we were about to win over Notre Dame and we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
A close 2nd was the fumble vs Ga in 1980. (I’m old)

The best thing I’ve ever seen was the fumble caused by the hand of G-d vs Arkansas.
A close 2nd was the 35 point 1st quarter also Arkansas.

What about you?
What’s your best and worst?

 

[Orangeslice13]

3rd worst was a bowl game vs North Carolina
We win!!! No we didn’t.

Best: Bama game last year

Worst : Georgia state….

I missed Bama last year with an illness.
Ga state was my 50th birthday. I was in New York with family.

 

[BVols20]

Worst by far is Georgia State. Best would have to be 2004 Florida

Best? 1982 Alabama, or 1998 arkansas. Worst? Hob nail boot.

The hob nail boot was one of those where we scored on that long screen pass and I immediately thought “oh no, we left too much time”

 

[Stvol89]

Arkansas 98 and bama last year. Worst North Carolina music city bowl and Georgia game in 2017 losing 41-0 wasn’t fun.

2001 SEC championship game walking out of the Ga. Dome and seein all the orange roses laying on the floor. Rose bowl bound and playing for a 2nd national championship if we took care of LSU that night.

 

[Wireless1]

Best was the game winning FG against BAMA last year, the worst I’m not going to call out the game because I don’t blame the players, but watching our offensive linemen dance during the time out backed up inside our 5 then watch the defense stuff them. Worst coaching, worst team attitude

Thanks for making me relive that schiiitttshow......

 

[VAVol85]

Best: 1997 SEC Championship
Best at Neyland: Norte Dame win
Worst loss: Wyoming or North Texas State
Worst game experience: Bama 1980 (I think) when the game was played in a monsoon and they dragged us up and down the field.
Best individual performance: Eric Grays 250 yd game against Vandy

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

Best: UT fans rushing the field after beating Florida in 1998
Worst: Memphis fans rushing the field after beating the Vols in 1996

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

Best: pandemonium reigns vs. UF in 98'.
Worst: goal line fumble against UGA returned 99 yards for a TD in 03'. Got shellacked from there.

 

[midtnvol2]

Best was seeing the Sugar Vols destroy Miami in the Sugar Bowl. My goodness all the NFL players off of both of those teams!
Worst has been from 2009 through last Saturday. Tied with that is the knucklehead Botch Jones crying like a freakin 1st grader after Jennings gave him a miracle in Georgia.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Worst
‘80 USC game winning field goal as time expired
‘83 Ole Miss, strip fumble at the 1 yard line
‘90 Bama, 6 points a week after scoring 45 against the Gators

Best
‘85 Auburn
‘86 Sugar Bowl
‘89 Auburn in the rain
‘89 Ole Miss, Webb with 294 yards
‘90 Florida

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

Worst-Pruitt Standing on our Sideline
Best-Manning running up the score on UGA

Despite the loss, the ‘90 Notre Dame game is the best football game I have seen in person.

 

[zeppelin128]

Best: 2004 Florida. Complete insanity when Wilhoit hit the FG after missing the XP earlier.

Worst: I can't remember which year, but watching Bama take over Neyland during the Dooley fiasco. The BYU game also really pissed me off.

 

[SDV]

Gaffney’s “catch”

 

[ENGRVOL]

Best: 92 or 04 Florida. Mose Phillips td run in 92 or game-winning fg in 04
Worst: 06 Air Force. Enough said

 

[EasternVol]

Best: 90 Florida, runners up 72 Penn St., 79 ND, 82 Bama.
Worst: 90 Pacific, runners up 72 Bama, 1980 (Ga, USC, Bama, Pitt and UVa were maddening or miserable), 2003 Ga.
edited to add 72 Bama.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

I've got to ask EasternVol, what happened at the 1990 Pacific game? I looked up the game, and Tennessee won 55-7. If it's too personal or just none of my damn business, just let me know.

Chuck Webb blew out a knee.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Wow, apparently I totally blocked that from my memory. That makes a lot of sense. Why does it seem like injuries like that occur in blowout games? What might have been.....
