I do...I remember it well, as I'm sure a lot of other people do as well...You don't have to be that old to remember.
I was 3 years old when Georgia won their only national championship...I don't remember that crap because it was so long ago.
I'm really feeling spicy towards Georgia today...Just reminding them that they've never really done that much, and without the greatness of Herschel Walker, they'd still be looking for that 1st natty.I’m not sure if you’re being nice or if this is some sort of troll job to point out how long it’s been.
Yes I remember it well. I was 16 years old.
In that case....I'm really feeling spicy towards Georgia today...Just reminding them that they've never really done that much, and without the greatness of Herschel Walker, they'd still be looking for that 1st natty.
But it's not trolling, I also remember Tennessee's national championship well, because it wasn't 40 friggin' years ago.
Arkansas was the only one I was able to get to.I was 25 and had already been a UT graduate for 2 years. The only home games I missed were Arkansas and UAB. I also went to Athens for our beat down of the Dawgs. I wouldn't say I remember it like it was yesterday... but I do remember that time very well.
I had the flu that day and gave my tickets away. I even turned away from the game after Tee Martin's pass to Peerless Price fell incomplete on 4th down. I was living in an apartment complex in west Knox at the time with thin walls, and you could hear everything from next door. I reached my bath room and heard my neighbors screaming and cheering and assumed something crazy (and good) must have occurred ... when I went back to the game, we had the ball. I missed the "Stoerner Stumble" as it happened.Arkansas was the only one I was able to get to.
I remember being stuck in a wreck on I 40 headed to the game and a friend of mine getting out of the car in the rain (he needed 2 tixs) to check with a guy that had a sign up in his window several cars back.I had the flu that day and gave my tickets away.

Hey I also remember Georgia Tech's national title! (Even though the had to split it with Colorado...Who has also won a National Championship more recently than Georgia.)Georgia Tech has a more recent title than Georgia does.
And Clemson has won 3 since Georgia won their last one. 1981, 2016, 2018.Hey I also remember Georgia Tech's national title! (Even though the had to split it with Colorado...Who has also won a National Championship more recently than Georgia.)
BYU I believe has won an undisputed National Championship since Georgia won theirs.
I was a student at the time and that was actually the first time I drew tickets in the upper deck but it was like row 5 around the 40 so the seats were awesome. It was cold and raining the whole time, we had just gone to number 1 that week, and we were on the verge of blowing it. I was actually closer to leaving in the first half than I was at the end. It never crossed my mind then. I was too mad. But had we gone down 28-3 I would’ve left that cold rain to go watch us lose back in the apartment. I swear that when Stoerner fumbled I thought the upper deck was coming down. I know many look to the Florida game that year as the game of the year but you don’t see very many matchups of undefeated teams in November and even fewer that include a comeback from 18 points down plus a miracle play close to the end. I’ll never see a game like that in person again, not with that much on the line.I remember being stuck in a wreck on I 40 headed to the game and a friend of mine getting out of the car in the rain (he needed 2 tixs) to check with a guy that had a sign up in his window several cars back.
My dad and brother had left the stadium when Stoerner fumbled. They were well up the road from the stadium when the heard the crowd. They stopped and listened at a KPD car that had it on to catch the finish.
Wild nite.
There are players who were Seniors on the UGA national championship team that will reach Medicare eligibility in a little over 3 years.I do...I remember it well, as I'm sure a lot of other people do as well...You don't have to be that old to remember.

There are a number of players on that Georgia national championship team that are almost certainly grandfathers and even in a few cases of "early family starting" or "late exit", so to speak, possibly a few great-grandfathers.There are players who were Seniors on the UGA national championship team that will reach Medicare eligibility in a little over 3 years.
