Thanks for the trip down memory lane. :good!:I was there too, and I agree. I don't think the 98 Florida game will ever be topped, for the following reasons:
First, there were over 107,000 fans - 5,000 more than our current stadium capacity. Second, the outcome couldn't have been more satisfying and cathartic for Vol fans coming after so many catastrophic Florida meltdowns during the mid-90s (although a win over a Kiffen-coached Alabama team this year might come close). Third, Neyland Stadium didn't have to resort to pre-recorded music or other Jumbotron gimmicks to keep everyone's attention between breaks. Finally, 1998 was before people started doing that effiminate "WOOOO" during the chorus to Rocky Top.
Here's the missed field goal again, for old time's sake: https://www.youtube.com/v/xakh6kR9ChM#t=25m31s
Still think he's a Buckeye.
I sure hope not, but any prospect that ends up choosing to play for Ohio State over a promising SEC school like Tennessee was probably too soft anyways. The SEC is where you go to compete against the best of the best and see where you stand. Ohio St is where you go to coast through college football. I'm going to give Torrance Gibson the benefit of the doubt and assume he's not a coasting softy.
