That game made Tennessee America’s second favorite team.

Pretty as a Hooker to Hyatt TD pass!! It's a beautiful drive to Knoxville down I-81 through the Shenandoah Valley and the mountains of SE Virginia and E Tennessee. Gorgeous the whole way.

That drive is Heaven!
Very glad I did that on my way to DC about 7 years ago

Those were LSU fans still hungry in the West.

This is true. LSU fans despise Alabama and Nick Saban. I bet the cheer that you heard was mostly LSU fans, not Florida fans.

Same here. Strange that I haven’t heard a peep out of the only bama fan I know. [/QUOTE You are one lucky man

I hope every team left on bama's schedule smells blood in the water and gives it everything they have to give bama that second loss.

That would be the cherry on top and send bama in a spiral. They would lose their MIND!!!!

Lol at the swamp, pre-snap, that's funny.

And we cannot forget the amazing FREE Hype from our good friends at ESPN for deciding to host Gollege Game Day in Knoxville twice in 4 weeks. Unprecedented for any program to receive that attention twice in a season, let alone so close together. They were OUR VEHICLE to spreading our brand and helping us become one of the country's most beloved and envied programs. And doesn't hurt to have Peyton on the set, McAfee jumping in the Tennessee River and Corso donning Smokey's head.
BREAKING NEWS: No SH*T, as I write this, HLN is on my TV in the living room and Robin Meade just had a fun little article on how the UT Alumni have raised $68.000 for the new goal posts. They showed the end of the game and the posts being carried out of the stadium and being tossed into the Tennessee river. Who wouldn't want to attend UT and or play for CJH?? Awesome FREE press putting Rocky Top on the map, again!!

And college game day will be in Athens when the vols come to play especially if both are undefeated still. So that willake 3 games in one year that college game day was at a vols game. That has to be a record.

I surely know that the swamp was cheering for a Bama loss not a Tennessee win. I will take it though.

That was pretty amazing

 

[njvols]

Florida fans applauded for us beating Bama? That is truly touching...... I would never applaud Bama or Florida beating each other. lol WELL SHUCKS.

IDK about that...I'll be cheering if OM beats Bama in a few weeks. It's time for the official wheels to come off.

The Media will have to put Tennessee with Alabama and Georgia for media attention in the SEC.

Probably the most exciting start to finish game I have witnessed in my 63 years and I probably lost 4 pounds and smiled 95% of it. Great game and wonderful outcome. I had a "destiny outlook" the whole game. My sister texted me, "game over" on the scoop and score. I texted back, "no way" and cut my ringer off. Them VOLS were unflappable.

An unforgettable amazing game that is a ESPN Classic worthy college football game.

I’m very happy that Tennessee showed they are a resilient team because Alabama showed they are a great team because of a successful comeback since the game was tied in the 2nd half, and multiple lead changes.
Tennessee showed resiliency because of outplaying a great Alabama team in the 2nd half.

This game would be boring and not thrilling if Tennessee easily defeated Alabama.
This was a high bar adversity reveals character game for Tennessee, and they showed they can play a full great game to defeat Alabama.
Alabama’s offense was an onslaught in the second half, and they benefited by scoring a touchdown after recovering a fumble.
