Personally I have been to two games. 2003 Georgia (41-14 Loss) and the MCB against NC a few years back. 0-2 when I am watching :(

Don't remember what year but I was in front row in the end zone when Jamarcus Russell threw the winning td pass. I think the final was lsu 28 vols 24.

1st Sep. 6, 1980 vs Georgia Led 15-0 Lost 16-15 Hershel/Bill Bates
2nd Sep. 13, 1980 vs USC Lost 20-17 after Steve Alatorre threw an int. on our last drive which led to a game losing FG as time expired

Not a good time to start going to games

I saw both of those. Wasn't that the year Georgia won the National Championship?

We lost those 2 games by a total of 4 points. The next year, I went to Athens and we lost 44-0. Southern Cal beat us 43-6 the next week. We lost to the same 2 teams by 81 points one year later.

I went with my dad to that game as a 14 year old and sat in the bleachers in what was then the open end of the stadium near the hill. There was a cannon in that end zone that was fired after touchdowns back then.

1946. I was eight years old at the time. I have seen a lot of water go over the dam. Some of it has been muddy and a lot of it has been fantastically clear and clean.

My first game was in 1988.

Duke beat our Vols at Neyland. I was young, but it stuck with me. Long ride back to Nashville.

First game was 1974 - Liberty Bowl - I was 11. A drunk guy sat behind me who was hilarious. UT played Maryland - UT won. Close game. Hollaway was the QB. Froze my buns off, but the guy behind me felt nothing.

I was also at that UT/Duke game. Very embarrassing. Glimpse of what the Ole' Ball Coach (or sack depending) was going to do to us in most meetings. Long drive back to Memphis.

Opener in 1977 vs Cal. My friends mother drove us from M'boro and waited outside the stadium for us until after the game and drove us home.

Born in '76. First game that I can remember was the, um, Ky game in '84. My dad says he carried me to games when I was in diapers so I'm hoping I went to games before '84. A 7 year old in diapers can't be a good look.

I went to several UT Vandy games in Nashville because that is where I grew up, 06 was the first time I went to Neyland.
