when was the last time there was a snow game at neyland?

That was the 1976 UK-UT game. Tennessee's defense played great but the Tennessee wishbone was completely ineffective.

I wonder if 4 1/2 years later, he will reply to your post?

Don't remember any "snow" games, but there are a few games where the Vols got snowed.

We should make bets......I'm gonna go with YES. A no bet is too obvious, so yes should be worth a lot.

My Dad and uncle told me about it. Neyland beat Bryant on the way to the Cotton Bowl and a National Championship.

My Dad and his best friend, Oscar Huffstetler, were at that Ky. game. He said they built a small fire in the stands to keep warm. Dad and Oscar, also, were at the Cotton Bowl the following New Years Day when the Vols beat Texas for a share of the National Championship. I have the program and a souvenir pin-on orange football with orang and white ribbon from said Cotton Bowl. Priceless!!!

Before anyone makes the claim, the absence of snow at Neyland is not 'yet another sign of global warming.'

But, global warming causes global cooling, haven't you heard? Ask Al Gore if that isn't the case.

Certainly no white out, but we had flurries for the '77 Vandy game. I know that was about as cold as I ever want to be. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

dont remember any games in neyland

Was at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas when we played Kansas State with snow and sleet. Absolutely miserable

That was probably the last time Tennessee played in snow. However, when we played UK way back in the late 50s we played UK in Knoxville and it was about 10 degrees. There was about 4 inches of ice on the seats. A very cold day.

In the 40s, 50s, and 60s, we often had snows in November. One of the treats was hunting on Thanksgiving and tracking game in the snow.

the kentucky game in 04 was pretty close, it was raining and in the low 30's the whole game. I think it had snowed/sleeted the week before

I was at that game with my wife and then-9-year-old daughter. We live near Orlando (behind enemy lines) and visited family in Atlanta for Thanksgiving so we went on up to the game. I think it was Gerald Riggs who scored a TD with less than a minute to go in the game to win it for us. Gosh, it was cold that day. My wife still reminds me about sitting in the cold rain.
