95 Legion Field.

I was so cold at kickoff, i got up to go buy a sweatshirt to wear under my Tennessee jersey (i was 11), and i missed the Manning to Kent bomb

My first game was probably why I am such a vol fan!

1985 Sugar Bowl. My whole family went. My mom had to ask which team was ours!! I will never forget it! GO VOlS!!! To this day .... I hate Miami!

1984, I think, it was Tennessee and LSU. It was the game that Reggie White sacked the LSU quarterback deep in their territory to basically put the game away. I was also at the 1991 UCLA game when it was so hot! That was my wife's first game. I didn't think she would ever go back but she did. She is now a vol fan. She was pissed when the girls lost the other night in the first game! It was funny to see her that mad!

Hope you stayed for the riot and tear gas. I was there with my Dad and, next day that's all we talked about in Sunday school class.

No, I left immediately. I had no reason to hang around, nothing for me to celebrate.

95 Legion Field.

Great game but I still prefer the 96 game at home and come from behind. Guess it's cause that was first memory of a game.

Dang. Sorry you missed that.

I was in the endzone and if Joey would have ran into the stands he'd ran right to us. For some reason I dont remember the cold.

1984- UT vs. Washington St.

[WesternNCVol]

1990 against bama. We lost 9-6, but I had a blast. I was 14 at the time.

 

[KBVol]

1986 they lost to army
so I joined the navy 10 years later

Ugh. Lost when they let Army block a punt in the end zone. Unbelievable.

Joined Navy as a result? Youre All Vol. Thanks for your service.

1997 Auburn game. Won 30-29. I was 5 years old. Still remember it like it was yesterday.

That sucks. You didn't miss a bomb though, you missed Joey Kent running about 85 yards like he was on fire.

Dang. Sorry you missed that.

I don't remember it being that cold either, but I wasn't 11.

Nothing beats The SEC Championship Game in the Georgia Dome.

 

[KBVol]

First game- late 70s vs Miss St in Memphis

First game in Neyland- 1985 vs Auburn when TRob and the boys whipped Bo's arse.

 

[vtvol98]

1980 versus Washington State. I had just moved down from New Hampshire 3 months earlier and didn't know a thing about SEC football or things UT. I've been all-Vol since.

I was a student during that time. Had tix on the 45. That day, Bo knew about Tennessee run defense.

UT played Washington State 4 times in the '80s...all at home. Interesting.

My first game was Vandy in November 1979 with my Dad. We were only a few rows from the top and it was super cold, and I didnt bring gloves.

I've been a fan since 1971.

We won every game I attended until I went to the Florida game in 2006

I was there too. Wasn't that when Little and Brown squished their silly qb on 4th down to preserve the win? I had a good run getting to the TN/al game for 18 years and sometimes my games run together.

Lol nice. We were sitting on the other end of the field, right smack in the middle of the Bama fans.

 

[ZoeVol]

My first game was Peyton's last home game against vandy. My dad took believe I was in the 5th grade. I got to watch him lead the band and everything. I remember it was right before thanksgiving so a lot of students had went home for the holidays do we had awesome seats.

I was there too. It was so awesome to see Peyton lead the band in Rocky Top! We clinched the SEC East that day

 

[gnm53108]

We were too. There was one TN fan in the row infront of us...so that pretty much made three of us in the whole dang section.

My first game was 1974 vs UCLA. I was 3 years old.
