Yeah, that's why Ed Reed is a perennial Pro Bowler and has been Defensive Player of the Year. Exactly what has Dante done in the NFL?

Dante Stallworth is a decent NFL player. Ed Reed is going to the Hall of Fame. That's a good example of the difference between the '01 Miami and Tennessee teams.

the MIRACLE (also my "first" Vol memory)
95 Bama - end of the drought
98 Florida - No-sir-ee!
Fiesta Bowl - Champs. Can you say more?
03 Florida - The Hail Mary
04 Florida - The Kick
05 LSU - The Comeback

1982 Alabama game - We broke an 11 year streak and as an 8 year old it was also the first time I can remember being aware that people were getting drunk a around me after the game. :D

I think he's just pointing out that Miami was absolutely loaded that year.

#10-1980 Auburn. I hate the Tigers worse than any other school UT plays with any regularity.
#9-2003 Miami. Any win in the Orange Bowl is a great one.
#8-1989 Auburn. UT announces they're back.
#7-1985 Alabama. Essentially clinched the SEC title.
#6-1998 Syracuse. As good a game as UT has been involved in since I've been watching.
#5-1979 Notre Dame. What a way to bounce back from losing to Rutgers.
#4-2001 Florida. Finally.
#3-1985 Auburn. Bo knows pain.
#2-1998 Florida. Best atmosphere I've ever been in at Neyland.
#1-Fiesta Bowl. The culmination of a magic season.

That's classic, man.

I was at the "Miracle in South Bend". What a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I met Aaron Haydon's (sp?) dad in the men's room because we were both getting dogged during the first half for wearing orange. I got down on the field after the game and ended up briefly in a news broadcast. I have a little ziplock bag with a bit of south bend turf that I borrowed.

That reminds me, I can't recall which happened first during the game against the Gators in our National Championship season. Either Florida missing their fieldgoal or the sound of my
brother and his friends Jack Daniel bottle tipping over right in behind my seat as the ball sailed wide left of the goalpost. Maybe they both happened simultaneously. :dunno:

The game depicted in my avatar.

October 21, 1967 - Vols Vs. Bama in Birmmingham

The Tide was riding an awesome win streak, coming off a NC year and well on their way to anothe until the Vols came to town.

We took them down on their own homefield 24-13.

It was the very frist college game I ever attended. I was with a group of HS seniors on a recruiting trip. One of our party was a big lug of a linebacker who ended up going to Auburn. After the game we went to one of the local eateries. As we're standing in line in a sea of crimson, this knuckle head declares, "Order some Bear meat, I hear it ain't very tough." Woo boy! Nothing happened, but if looks could kill.

As you might imagine, he flunked out after his sophomore year. Ended up at a small Tennessee college where he broke the collar bones of a few Ohio Valley Conference QBs.

I'm just glad I lived to tell the story.

Had we beaten LSU, Miami would have killed us in the Rose Bowl. We were a good to very good team, Miami was essentially an NFL team.

That's what everyone said about the 1985 Miami team.

Miami's schedule was a CAKE WALK in 2001. Who did they play that was any good?

What does that have to do with their talent? Clinton Portis, Andre Johnson, Jaquim Gonzalez, Jeremy Shockey, Johnathan Vilma, DJ Williams, Ed Reed, etc. That game would have been a no contest.

An '85 Miami team that didn't have their championship destiny in their hands. They had to beat Tennessee and hope Oklahoma beat Penn State and the voters gave them the nod over OU. All the 2001 Miami team had to do was beat the team in front of them.

Thanks for the reminder of one of my WORST football memories. We had a great pre-game party, were all fired up, and then before we could sit down with a smokey dog trailed 4 touchdowns. I lived across Henley on Chapman Hwy, it had been a long day, and the walk back across the bridge seemed to take hours.

I remember that walk... didn't you take the express route down that hill on your backside?

I don't care who was on their team. They played a pathetic schedule. Tennessee beat their common opponent, Syracuse, too.

And Nebraska lost 62-36 in the Big 12 game.
