1990 vs. Notre Dame. There were future NFL players all over the field. ESPN classic. The lead changed probably 4-5 times. The game came down to the very last play.

The Georgia game this past year will always be remembered as well. It had the feel of the "good times" and for a moment it felt like nothing had ever changed

I think it was in the 70's when we scored like 21 or 27 points in the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter to beat bama.
Help me out someone.

1984. Tony Robinson scored a 2 point conversion at the end to beat Bama. We scored late then held them and Victor Peepers returned a punt to inside the 10 to set up the tie and Robinson scored the 2 point on the counter option for the win. Great game.

1998 Florida, hands down, greatest and loudest our stadium has ever been. They did a special on it a few years back, and they said decibel wise, it was one of the loudest games in CFB history.

I couldn't talk or hear for a few days afterwards. Anyone picking any other game, just doesn't understand how amazing that game was.

Decibel wise, they said our stadium was registering as earthquakes on the ricktor scale...

I envy those of you that have been around since the 60's, 70's, 80's, and early 90's.

I feel like a new fan being only 23 years old.

Honestly, mines gotta be last years USC game. I've grown up in a shi***y era if UT football so I've seen more beatdowns than victories.

That game was crazy solely cause of Marquez Norths catch. It felt good to finally beat a ranked team again.

The first night game. Sept of 1972 if memory serves. We beat Penn St again. Beat them the last game of the previous season, and the first game of the 72 season. I think 31-11 and then 28-21.

I knew my fanhood was official when when I experienced my first heartbreaking loss in Neyland. 88 or 89 against Notre Dame when they beat us as Andy Kelly's pass was incomplete in the back of the end zone. Memory is hazy as I was only 7 or 8 at the time. I definitely will never forget that sinking feeling though.

Ps: if anyone knows if YouTube has that game, pls share. Call me crazy, but I've always wanted to rewatch it.

2009 win against USC. Halloween. Black jerseys. Rain. POTSB played Thriller. Honestly one of the funnest games I've ever been to!!

2013 win against USC. I can't even describe what it felt like.

2013 loss against Georgia. I literally smiled the entire way back to the car. I couldn't even be upset we lost. It was like getting a glimpse of the future.

2013 win against Western Kentucky. The game was just fun! We freakin' took the ball away from them all afternoon. It was only WKU, but it was also Petrino, and nobody was sure what he was gonna do. It was Coach Jones' second game, and we weren't sure what he was gonna do either. It was just a blast to watch those boys on the field that day. Fun. And that's what it is about for me.

It was 1990. It's probably on youtube.

2001 UGA loss. I learned that when it comes to UT football, it's not over until it's over. Then later I learned that it's not over even if it's over after the LSU and UNC games in 2011.
