| The feeling must have been nice. I sigh in the thought that we are reeling closer and closer to mediocrity (despite our recent income of talent). I believe these next 2 years will state a lot for the program's general direction. Anyone else agree? My thoughts seem a bit skewed today.

I remember that the crossbar hung over the bar at the Last Lap for quite a long time.
I have heard that it may be in the back room at OCI.
Anybody know?

| It should be sold on Ebay, wherever it is. FedEx ground can handle the shipping, right? Imagine the delivery.

Anybody know? | I believe the partial goal post at the OCI came from the '82 Alabama game. | |

| That was my first UT game. I do not remember Bo playing in the second half. I was on the field after the game. My blood has run orange ever since. | |

I saw that game on tv and they showed Bo several times on the sideline watching the second half...  | |

Eric Swanson was a receiver on that team, I believe. He should be a case study for all wide outs (along with Tim Mcghee) | |

I wasn't there for this one, but I have in on tape. I loved the way T Robinson threw the ball on the run. Remember the TD against UCLA when he was rolling to his left and rifled it with a flick of the wrist to Clinkscales? That's how I wanted to throw the ball. Tim, Eric, and Joey had some fun that day. So did the defense. That was the first time I ever saw Tennessee's defense play that great against a top 5 team, especially #16, the DB. I forget his name, but he was replaced by Victor Peppers, I think. If anyone knows for sure, let me know what #16's name was.
