Where were you when

[VOL Campbell]

I was 18 watching the game in my dorm room at the College of Charleston drinking smuggled in Jack Daniels. Awesome night to be a Vol!

 

[SDV]

In Tempe at the game. Really glad I was able to go. Looking like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Same here. Drove there and back from Nashville

 

[joevol33]

I had moved and lived in Georgia for 3 days didn't even have cable yet, but a friend invited me over to watch.

Was 28...life was good.

It’s a generation less embarrassing than if you have one in Georgia.

Okay, that made me laugh out loud...

 

[N.ohio vol]

I was 12 watched the whole game with my mom here in Ohio.

I was in school at Tennessee then. I watched the game in Kingsport TN. I actually had won the lottery to purchase tickets, but after buying the tickets, didn't have money to travel to Tempe, so I sold them to a childhood friend.

 

[LivinginthePast]

11 years old. Watched it on tv. Was a fun year.

 

[northknoxvol]

Was watching the game with some buddies in Sevierville.........we kept saying if we win we are going to go to east towne mall and get some champ swag after the game.......after the game we went outside and it was snowing so we didnt make the trip to east towne lolz

I was in Tempe. One of the happiest days of my life. Rented a RV, 5 buddies and me drove out to game. We had a blast that week! I’m on the right my friend on the left is no longer with us. This pic was taken right after the game.

So dam- long ago, I don't remember...

I was 28, much better looking, and very pleased you guys kept FSU a from winning a national title.

I was 31 and rather handsome myself.... now I’m a grouchy ass middle aged man.... still good looking.... but it’s just not the same

 

[Carl Pickens]

I was 19 and at the game. Was hoping one of the girls with our group would be so excited where I'd have a chance...

Alcohol.....

You still have the picture of these two from when you saw them at the FL vs UT game?

Dedication .... I like it.

Watching the game on TV. Have a framed front page Tennessean on my wall in All Vol game room. Ready for another natty front page hanging beside that one.

I was a section over. Remember FL State fans being infuriated at us commandeering the Seminole chant. They HATED that. Before the game, some drunk, pretentious Seminole fan kept yelling "trailer trash" at us. I said, "Mam, I've never stepped foot in a trailer in my life." I lied.

The chop... my wife tried to make me stop. Just. Couldn't. Help. Myself.

Hope you're young.

 

[superdave1984]

I was living in an apartment off Middlebrook Pike. Having a few beers and celebrating.

After Peerless Price caught that long TD pass from Tee the joy was just too much to contain!

 

[R481967]

I had 4 tickets! My A Hole boss made me work. Sold them to Sister and they had a trip of a lifetime. Outlived my boss though. Company down the drain too!!

Always look for the silver lining! I like it!

 

[cncchris33]

19 and a sophomore in college. I'm 41, now, and fully realize that I didn't appreciate the level of success that our program experienced in the 10 years leading up to that game, nor the several years immediately following it. What a great time to be a fan. If we ever approach that level of success, again, I now know to appreciate it because it is fleeting and finishing 10-1, 9-2 certainly isn't a birthright. It can get a lot worse.

It's a shame that there is an entire generation whose most lauded UT football memory is a 9-4 Butch Jones coached team that won the Outback Bowl. By the time I was 12 years old, I had experienced the 1985 Sugar Bowl and that 9-1-2 team, and seasons of 10-2-1 (Peach), 11-1 (Cotton), 9-2-2 (Sugar), and 9-3 (Fiesta).

Like the ‘72 Dolphins I drink a glass of champagne each year as the dawgs are eliminated from the possibility of a NC

You still have the picture of these two from when you saw them at the FL vs UT game?

If you’re talking about Lulu and Junior, then yes.

I’ve got a picture of them at our 2003 game on a thumb drive somewhere. One of our tailgate crew found them sitting in the East stands near our student section.
