Same here! That is without a doubt the loudest I have ever heard the crowd. When Stoerner stumbled and Ratcliff landed on the fumble it was deafening. I got to see that game with my dad and it is a memory we both love to bring up every season. My first time in Neyland is a close second. It was 1991 and we played Vandy. Andy Kelly was the man. After I experienced that crowd as a child I was hooked.

Thanks for the link!

Our honeymoon was to the Sugar Bowl vs. Miami. My Wife got sick from some bad food on the trip.

She sure missed a great game.

wait a sec, Dave

so you honeymooned in New Orleans. With basically the state of Tennessee (because I don't think anyone was left. At least everyone I knew was there).

Your new bride comes down with a form of food poisoning

And you still went to the game

That's gnads of steel right there, brother.

Even better - sounds as if you're still married to her.

You have to set the tone early on!

No question here. '98 Florida game. Florida wide receiver had at least 2 steps on our defense and Deon Grant makes an unbelievable leaping one hand interception. My favorite play of all time. Missed field goal, ran on to the field, and high fived Tee. The crowd was beyond electric (need new category - maybe nuclear).
Post game Dixie land delight. :thumbsup:

Agree, but its a two way street. Could have bad, bad effects also.

"...and on our honeymoon while I was sick he went to a football game instead of staying with me....."

Setting a tone, setting grounds for a quick divorce. One in the same.

Reminds me of a friend of mine. Atleast once a year his wife reminds him that the first thing he did upon getting to their room, on their honeymoon, was to turn on the TN/miss st game. I try to defend em by telling her that's what you get for getting married during football season.

btw...they've been happily married for 20+ years.

2002 6OT game versus Arkansas. I was there with my father, grandfather, uncle, and brother. I do not know if that game will ever be topped for me.

Wasn't DiNardo the coach? I remember they had won 3 or 4 in a row coming into that game. He referred to UT as the school to the East, etc. (similar to Butch Jones and Bama)....result was about the same.

1982 Bama
1979 Notre Dame
1978 Auburn
1996 Bama
2004 Florida
But the all timer was 2001 in the Swamp.....huge underdog that night. I went to the top of Ben Hill-Griffen, watched the band play below, and enjoyed a victory cigar. Very much enjoyed the walk to the car that night!

Two of them... One a win.... the 6 OT Arkansas game, I got frustrated and we bagan walking to the exit with about 45 sec left in 4th qtr. Spent the next 6 OT's watching from a better view X10 with ushers, etc and was incredible, especially the Witten catch to win it. Still get goosies. One a loss... I was ushering and the torrential rain in the 1st and 2nd qtr against Fla in Neyland (forgot the year) when Claussen could not catch one single snap from center in 7 attempts. Brutal. I remember the rain coming down so hard I was standing in the hole at the exit where students were up to almost my knees in standing water. I did not have a single cm of dry spot on my body for over 8 hours. Miserable in many ways. Love the Vols win or lose though

Entirely possible..... Memory not as good as used to be. Always amazed at how people recall the "fill in the blank" game in 1999. I had......???? for breakfast yesterday?

December 1971, Tennessee defeated Penn State 31-11.

I wasn't there for that game but watched it on TV. Definitely one of the greatest UT games of all time. Penn State with a 2 year unbeaten streak, Franco Harris and Lydell Mitchell in the back field and Vols scored early and often.

The tone was set on the first drive when Penn State drove down the field before Conrad Graham picked off a pitch out and ran it back about 75 yds for a TD and the rout was on. I think UT only scored one offensive TD with the defense scoring 2 and Bobby Majors running a punt back for another one.

Tough call between the '79 Notre Dame game and '98 Florida game. On Sunday after the '98 game, my ears were still 'ringing'. I'll go with '98 game vs. the Gators.

My most memorable game is Stephens running wild on those gators with the Clint Stoerner fumble leading to a national championship closely second.

The 96 Bama game. I was with my granny and dad,two VFLs,for the last time to watch General Peyton roll the Tide. I think of that game and day every day. GO VOLS!
