November 7, 1959

UT - 14
LSU - 13

The #1 Tigers and Billy Cannon traveled to Knoxville, and only once in 11 previous games had an LSU team defeated Tennessee, and Tennessee again had bad news for LSU.

The Tigers overwhelmed the Volunteers statistically—outgained them 334 yards to 112—but, by letting a cornerback named Jim Cartwright steal a pass and scoot 59 yards for a touchdown and by fumbling to provide Tennessee another scoring opportunity, found themselves behind 14-7 in the last quarter. Then a Tennessee fumble at the two resulted in a quick LSU touchdown and a noteworthy decision by Coach Paul Dietzel: to go for two points and victory.

Tennessee's Coach Bowden Wyatt jumped up and down and bellowed a warning, unheard by his team in the uproar, to watch out for Cannon. He could have saved his breath. Well-drilled for Cannon's patented off-tackle slants, the Vols were, as Wyatt said later, "mentally stacked up over there. We had 11 people thinking about that hole. That's where LSU has found the white meat all year."

Through bloody lips Tackle Wayne Grubb yelled, "He's coming on the power play," as LSU lined up. Cannon slammed into the line and was smothered 18 inches from the goal.

It was over…..UT had defeated the #1 team in the country for the first time in school history.

Wonder what the media will say when we beat Georgia to death

The talk will be about "What is wrong with Georgia?" When we won it all the national media talked more about FSU.

That's a kid. Could have hearing issues.

Well if he didn't he does now. I was deaf for 3 days. He's in the upper deck, he'd be in for a real treat down close to the field.

A Bammer arguing for Tennessee?? Next thing you know, cats and dogs are going to be laying down together.



Well crap. The end times must be here.

Glad that cat can rest, now that @Glitch has strained his labia.

We have no idea. Some last year said Nico would transfer if he sat behind Joe. Some say now Mike Matthews is transferring. It’s all fear porn

or Negaporn.

The committee must value which teams you lose to as much as who you beat on the field, only logical answer.

Out of the 3 teams that McElroy is comparing, Tennessee probably has the worse loss vs Arkansas.. also has the best win vs Alabama. Just win baby.

Ya never know how its gonna go down the stretch.

 

[BarrythesnoUT]

I despise depending on other teams to win or lose.

Tennessee just needs to take care of business the next 5 weeks. PERIOD.

Just win baby.

Leaving for Knox in the morning and driving up from Memphis. I haven’t been since Florida 2022. I’m really excited to catch a night game in Neyland.

I’m staying near market square and I haven’t frequented that area in the past. What are the best restaurants and bars? I’m bringing my friend, that’s a Miss St grad, and I want to show him a good time.

Lakers would get rid of DLo first, no salary space to add a $43 million dollar a year player, especially Trae Young who has got 2 coaches fired in Atlanta already.

I'd be good with DLo moving on. He's amazingly unproductive.

We haven't been this year but have been the last few years. We went to Stock and Barrell one Friday night and then caught Soccer Taco on gameday. It gets crowded though. I don't think there are many true bars on Market Square but should be in the downtown area.

 

[SagginVawls]

It's so funny now that Tennessee being ranked higher helps Ol' Bama's playoff hopes that McElroy wants us as high as possible. Whatever, I'm here for it.

If doing a bar in Market Square, there is Scruffy City Hall/Preservation Pub. On Gay St just behind is Suttree’s. Other than that, it’s a hop and a skip down to Old City where there are more bar options.

Florida bringing Napier back next season.

Market Square is awesome. All the places are good that I have eaten at. Over the years some come and go, but i have never had a bad experience. This works for all ages, but for young kids or older relatives this is the best way to tailgate imo. The square is always bustling in afternoon with stuff to do.

A couple I have frequented more recently. I likely ate at another one or two and just don't recall because it was post game after a long day.

Stock and Barrel
Tupelo Honey
Myrtles


Pay the small money and ride the trolley before and after. It is totally worth it.

They're stuck with Napier???
