Your first TBA game?

[Shaun1985]

It's the offseason so yeah....

What was the first game you remember going to at TBA?

Mine was March 2nd, 1996 against Florida. I was 10 years old and even though we lost, I had a blast with my grandpa and remember Steve Hammer and how close and exciting the game was.

Anyone care to share yours?

That was my freshman year at UT

Mine was when we played USCe and Chism scored his career high (30 I believe) I forget the year but it was when Downey was at SC. I don't get to go to many games since I live in Lexington. I go to a lot of the UT vs UK games at Rupp though.

It was 2000. All I remember was Tony Harris played lights out against S Carolina

1992-93 season - men's and women's doubleheader against Alabama (I think). Men played the first game and got blasted; lady vols played the 'marquee' game and beat the $*%# out of their opponents. The contrast in how aggressive and hustling the women were compared to the men was pathetic. Glad to see things have changed...

I use to joke with my dad that Tony Harris was the best white point guard in ut history

After that the only home games I missed while I was at UT were ones that class was out of session (like for Christmas break) and I was back at home.

Well my first game was in Stokley - 1977 - UT/UK - last game of the season - tied - winner takes SEC crown - triple OT - Ernie/Bernie - oranges thrown at Joe B - UT wins - hooked for life.

Allan Houston vs. Syracuse. Dec, 1992. Nosebleeds with dad. Awesome experience.

my dad and I went to the first game (and most that season)

Pearl's last game vs. KY, great atmosphere (Houston's # was retired) and a good game. I've been to plenty of games in Rupp since I'm in Lexington. TBA is much nicer than the current Rupp, which is due for an upgrade soon.

My first game was in Stokely in 1971 or 2 against Oregon State. We won. Also saw a game against Miss. State that year. UT won. Saw many games in the Bernie/Ernie era and later as a student from 1979-1983 when Dale Ellis was there.

Not sure what the first game was I saw in TBA. May have been that Syracuse game that others have mentioned where Alan Houston got a scoring record in a 87-81 loss.

I saw Jordan and the Bulls play an exhibition game vs the Bullets in TBA.

I have no idea why they played there. Oct 23, 1991.

1998 vs KY.
Came back for 1999 vs KY, which ended much better.

Wow. Some of you old timers lol. Pretty awesome! How was the atmosphere in Stokley compared to what you see now? I know there are more fans, technology and the uniforms shorts are longer lol but you get what i'm asking.
