I wouldn't change a thing honestly. Even though it sucks to be down it makes you enjoy being at the top so much more.

Pig play! If he made that play butch would have two major wins and a bowl game in his first year. Any other game and lame kitten or he who's name shall never be spoken would have an important victory. Plus butch with a signature win against UGA and USCjr would have given us a bowl game. That would shut the anti butch guys up!

I would erase Pig's block in the back in the Vandy game.

I don't think going 5-7 necessarily hurt us in recruiting this year (and Vandy beating us didn't really help them), but entering the 2014 season off a potential 7-6 record would give us a lot of momentum.

Plus, I'm just dying for a damn bowl game, and we might not get one this year either.

A return kickoff by the Univ of Memphis in which the returner was down (knee) but the officials didn't call it. That play prevented UT from winning and IMHO, kept Manning from receiving a Heisman b/c of that loss.

I would change that one play.

either pig play against UGA (fumble) or Vandy (block in the back) last year...a bowl wouldve been a good start for butch after the previous few

Heisman he lost in '97, not '96

Actually, it was Kevin Cobb's forearm that touched the ground - the officials didn't know the rule and let him keep running....That may have also been the worst game of Manning's college career. He threw a pick in the end zone and another one that set up a Memphis TD.

The game against lsu at home (not sure the year), but JaMarcus Russell fumbled on their final drive. They called it an incomplete pass and didn't review it even though the sec had recently implemented instant replay. When I saw it live I instantly observed it as a fumble that we recovered and was shocked it didn't get a second look. Not even the announcers mentioned it. Lsu goes on to win and Russell sheds the can't win in the clutch stigma, and ends up being the no. 1 pick. Long after the season ends the sec sends us a letter apologizing and saying we should have been awarded the ball, thus ending the game. Oh well. Could have potentially saved Oakland a little agony as well

The 2001 SEC Championship game no question. If Ohio State could beat Miami no doubt in my mind Fulmer would have gotten a second NC. That team IMO was the best talent wise Fulmer ever had.

A close second would have been the Second Half in Gainsville back in 95. If not for that epic implosion we would have been facing Nebraska in the NC game IMO.

I know that, but don't think for a minute that the voters weren't considering the "body of work" while Peyton was at UT when they voted for a DB from Michigan.

That loss to UofMem was probably the most embarrassing loss in UT's history.

I was at the game and thought it was his knee. But you may be right I was so ticked I suffered temporary amnesia.

I could only narrow it down to three-

The 2010 Music City Bowl against UNC

Last year against Vandy

And....

The whole 13 men on the field ordeal against LSU

Jay Graham's fumbles in that game were huge! I'd put Manning of now in that game or any of the games against Florida. It would be fun to watch him pick them apart.

The 1st Erik Ainge INT in the 2007 SEC Champ game. That could have changed the outcome of the game, and the next few years of the program.

Brutal ending in Atlanta. I was there, and things haven't been the same since 2007.

Boy that's true. We have categorically sucked since that 4th Q. I hope we never lose to LSU again in seccg. It takes years to recover.

Well, if this guy can ignore the rule than so shall I! My first time seeing a game in Neyland, 2001 Georgia game. Stephens scores on a 62 pass from Clausen to put us back up, and the crowd just went bonkers. Freshmen David Greene led UGA to a score as time ticked away, and the crowd went from elated to crushed.

Not as impactful a loss probably as LSU in the SECCG later that year, but being in the stadium I'll never forget how painful that one was.

Ah yes, the hobnail boot game. At the time, that loss was absolutely devastating. But like you said, it wasn't that impactful. The Vols still had a chance to play for the national championship if they could've taken care of business against LSU. That didn't make it hurt any less at the time, though.
