Twenty years ago today

[rich4pres]

We won the national title. Except for the day I got married and the day my son was born it was the greatest day of my life. Me and my best pals went to Cumberland right after the game, and even though it was freezing, had a blast. The only hangover that didn’t bother me. What were you doing that night?

 

[Boca Vol]

I was there!

 

[Cartervol]

I was working in Reston Virginia at the time. Didn't care the next day that i had probably had 2 hours sleep. Good times. Thought there were going to be many more at the time. Boy was i wrong, sadly. Still one of the best nights of my life.

And I said to my friends "we have arrived, we'll be a top ten program from now on and Phil will prob get 2 more titles before he retires"

Anyboy need any stock tips from me?

After the game I got choked up and cracked a bottle of champagne and just sat there. Went down to my computer and Celebrated with friends on the UT AOL chat, that was like Volnation back in the day.

I had just moved to Georgia. It was the first thing I watched on TV down here!

Wishing it was GA winning the national title?

Just in case this makes you feel sad, just remember... next year will be 40 for UGA

Also, Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile.

I was stationed in Alabama (Air Force) and I remember thinking "I never thought I would see us win a NC". Always wonder if that is the only one I will ever see in my life time.... May never see the Vols have another OC in my life time.

What a day it was!

 

[NorCalVol67]

I was living in Wyoming watching with a crew of Vol fans. I may have cried like a newborn baby after we won.

 

[musolfmj]

I watched in my friends C House in Oak Ridge. Three months later we got married.

I was there!

My wife and I went for the week. Started in Vegas for a couple of nights, then on to Tempe for the game, then on to Taos, NM to snow ski and celebrate. Greatest week of my life. We went without any tickets figuring we could buy them on the sidewalk, and there were so many tickets for sale that some guy who said he couldn't sell his just gave them to us. It was awesome. 4th happiest day of my life! Truly a rare occasion.

We made 2/3 of that trip. Started in Vegas and finished in Tempe. Scalped tickets on the 50 yard line for less than face value. What a trip!

 

[CDB]

Oh yeah… We also walked in right behind Peyton. TV did not do him justice. He was a big old boy.

 

[Behr]

I fell through a glass table and there was no major blood clean up.

 

[njvols]

In two more years, UGA can say 40 years ago today...Go Vols

God was on our side that day.

Apartment sitting for a friend while he was out of town. Needless to say he returned to a noise complaint. I Blared Rocky Top until I passed out.

I was there - I remember being afraid it might be the only title for the rest of my life.
