| The greatest game i ever saw Thought it would be kind of neat to start a thread where everyone names the best home and/ or away game they have ever seen in person.
my best home game:
1985 vs #1 auburn and bo jackson. record attendance 94,000+ 35-21 win
my best road game:
1995 vs Alabama 41-14 win. broke another long losing streak to bama. 8 in a row i think?  |

| Haven't been to lots of games at Neyland Stadium because I live near Orlando, Fla. (behind enemy lines). Home
1974 (year I was in POTS) 29-28 win over Clemson and Larry Sievers' incredible catch for the victory.
Runner-up-1974 17-17 tie with UCLA when Condredge Holloway came back from the hospital to secure the tie. Away
2001 34-32 win over Florida when Travis Stephens rushed for 19 times for 226 yards and 2TD. I sat (stood) in the middle of the UF law school students. I was 45 years old, graying hair, UT shirt, hat, shakers, etc. In other words, I was that guy in the middle of the UF crowd. Boy, was that fun the way it ended! |

Thats what made the bama game so great for me(other than the win) was being in a hostile stadium, out numbered 10:1 and beating a team that everyone around you assumed would whip your a$$.  |
