| 1985 Auburn game
Was anyone there? I was not, but I was just reading about it. I guess that victory kind of got buried in time by the '86 Sugar Bowl victory. |

| I was there, but I don't think it got burried. We did wind up with the SI coverboy after the game. | |

| I was there. Auburn couldn't cover UT's receivers and once the Vols got the lead, they really wratcheted up the defense. The game was over in the middle of the second quarter. | |

| I'm really yearning for a big-time victory more than ever now, it seems it's been too long. The UGA game was huge, but I'm greedy, we need to pull off a big-time Victory this year against a high quality opponent (Florida, you first)

| I was there. Tony Robinson did whatever he wanted in the first half of that game, and the Vols' defense made Jackson look like a second-stringer. I couldn't talk for a couple of days afterwards. | |
